What it is: A bestselling exfoliating toner with 2% salicylic acid and green tea, clinically shown to unclog pores for clearer-looking skin in one week.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily
Skincare Concerns: Pores
Formulation: Liquid
Highlighted Ingredients:
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) 2%: Penetrates pores to clear blemish-causing buildup and shed dead skin.
- Green Tea: A potent antioxidant that soothes irritated skin while improving visible signs of aging.
- Methylpropanediol: Hydrates while visibly enhancing the skin’s glow and the formula’s penetration.
Ingredient Callouts: Free of parabens. It is also cruelty-free.
What Else You Need to Know: This gentle exfoliating toner works within the pore lining to target congestion and blemishes. Two percent BHA is clinically shown to visibly reduce pores, absorb excess oil, and support the skin’s barrier. Exfoliation helps the rest of your routine absorb better and work harder for a glowing, makeup-ready complexion.
