Highlights

Description

This is a liquid toner that combines two chemical exfoliants: PHA (gluconolactone) and BHA (betaine salicylate). The formula also includes watermelon extract (62% of the product), cactus extract, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid are humectants that attract water to help hydrate skin. The brand says this alcohol-free toner balances hydration with gentle exfoliation and is suitable for all skin types.

You can apply it in both morning and evening routines after cleansing, as the brand says the formula is safe to use in both AM and PM routines. The brand notes it comes in recyclable packaging and is vegan and cruelty-free. One trade-off to consider: because this contains BHA, the brand cautions that skin purging is possible, especially if you're new to the ingredient. You should avoid the eye area and use sunscreen during the day.
