BHA 2 Gentle Exfoliating Toner with Salicylic Acid, Daily Exfoliating Toner for Pore Care and Smoother-Looking Skin, 6 Ceramides, Lightweight, Korean Skincare, 5.07 fl.oz

Ok so I bought this toner for the first time August 17, 2024 because I needed a BHA toner and I had a great experience with Anua's niancinamide serum so I figured why not. Long story short, It works. Here's how: 1. Exfoliating - I have textured, acne prone skin but now its just mildly acne prone. My face has been the smoothest its ever been. The size of my pores have decreased tremendously and it probably would've been much smaller if I were more strict with my application of this toner. 2. Non- astringent: This doesn't burn at all for me. Of course, when i get breakouts my skin gets more sensitive but even then if it gets into an inflamed pore, its like a 1 second tingle and thats it. I've tried other BHAs and they'd burn so bad for minutes on end but this one is the most gentle BHA I've had the pleasure of using. All the effectiveness of a BHA with none of the burn. 3. Value for money: For a 150ml/5 fl.oz bottle, THIS THING LASTS. Like I said I bought it mid August 2024 and I'm at the end of that same bottle in late March 2025. Its been borderline 7 months. PLUS I'm heavy-handed in my application, so its running down my arms with the amount I use AND STILL i lasted 7 months. I've bought toners for more money with less mls and run out within 2-3 months. 4. Consistency: This toner has more of a watery consistency which isn't a bad thing but its something I love about it. It's lightweight and absorbs well into my skin rather than sitting on top and taking forever to dry down like those from other brands. I do use my hands to apply this toner for that same reason, because using a cotton round/pad would soak up most of the product. I wanted to use this for a good amount of time and it worked. 5. Other uses on the body: I work in medicine so I wash my hands often and come into contact with other solvents and solutions on my hands on a daily basis. One winter day my knuckles started to get rough and thick. I couldn't get it to scrub off in the shower so I grabbed good old Anua BHA 2% and put some in a glove and placed my hand in it to let it soak for a few minutes hoping the wonders it worked on my face would replicate on my hand. It did. It started to peel by the next morning and the rest I got off in the shower. All I needed was something to break through that rough patch and Anua did not disappoint me. To conclude, it worked for me but everyone's skin is different so take into consideration you and your skin. But me and my temperamental dark skin LOVE this and will be purchasing again and again!

I have a massive skincare collection, but this is the one BHA toner I keep reaching for. I have that annoying skin where my nose and chin have large pores, but the rest of my face is super dry. It's almost impossible to find a 2% Salicylic Acid that works on the pores without making my dry spots feel tight and stripped. ​I’ve tried the 'cult favorites' like P.C., but I honestly find them overpriced and they always leave this heavy, oily film on my skin that I hate. If you want that Western-style formula, Naturium makes a much better version for less money—but even then, I still prefer this Anua one. ​The Ceramides in this make such a difference. It clears my pores but feels like a hydrating step, not a harsh treatment. It layers perfectly with my other toners and leaves zero stickiness. I can't say how it works for truly oily skin, but for my dry skin and large pores, it’s been a total game-changer.

i have sensitive, acne-prone skin. This product has been working great for me, ive been using it 2-3 times a week and love how it makes my skin feel smoother (smoothes out skin texture) and controls my acne. I feel like its important to mention that I have mild acne, so its been working wonders. For people with sensitive skin, i would recommend doing patch tests first. Also, please din't forget to not mix this with any other exfoliants. Whenever I apply this, i make sure to use a barrier supporting serum and a good, simple moisturizer.

I loved it because it is an excellent tonic for my face since my face is quite oily and this helps me to make my skin look natural and soft

I was looking for an alternative exfoliating toner after finishing my Pixi Glow Tonic and was naturally drawn to Anua, since I already love their Azelaic acid serum. After using the toner for a few days, I can tell that it’s very mild and gentle on the skin. So far, I haven’t experienced any irritation, redness, or sensitivity, which is always a good sign. I haven’t noticed any significant changes yet, but that’s expected and it will likely take a few weeks of consistent use to see visible results. Overall, it feels like a calming and skin-friendly exfoliating toner, and I’m hopeful it will be just as effective as Anua’s serums over time.

I love this toner I Always use it when my face starts to look a bit bumpy and it always clears my skin overnight it’s my go to for clear skin.

this is the best toner ever. i have super sensitive skin and am able to use this daily after working out without it drying out my skin. it makes my skin so so soft too.

I have dry and sensitive skin, so I was hoping the Anua 2% BHA Gentle Exfoliating Toner would soothe and exfoliate without causing irritation. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me—it stung my face and caused some irritation, so I had to stop using it. However, the interesting thing is that it worked perfectly for my husband’s skin. He didn’t experience any stinging or irritation, and it seemed to work well for his skin type. I would recommend doing a patch test before using this toner, especially if you have sensitive skin, as it may not be suitable for everyone. For those with skin that can tolerate it, it seems to be an effective exfoliant, but definitely proceed with caution if you’re prone to irritation.

Ottima

Como persona con piel grasa se ha convertido indispensable en mi rutina. Por la noche me lo echo en un algodón y me lo paso por la cara, y al día siguiente tengo la piel limpia y super suavecita. Es genial para reducir los poros y noto como tengo los puntos negros mas pequeños o que directamente han desaparecido. Había probado otros productos con salicílico pero en menor concentración y este es el único que de verdad a mi me ha hecho efecto, sin duda repetiré comprándolo.

Honestly love it

من الوصف لطيف وهو فعلا لطيف على البشرة ، بشرتي الحساسة ارتاحت معاه ونفس الوقت خفف لي موضوع الحبوب

Love this product. Always will re purchase this item. Gentle and keeps away little bumps under my skin
