Product Details
Hit the refresh button on congested, lack-luster skin with the COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner. Designed as an ultra-gentle, daily chemical exfoliating mist, this cult-favorite Korean skincare essential wipes the slate clean without the aggressive stinging, peeling, or tightness often associated with traditional acid toners. Instead of abrasive physical scrubs that can micro-tear the skin barrier, this featherlight mist settles onto your face like morning dew, instantly quenching dehydration while going to work on dead skin cell accumulation, excess sebum, and stubborn impurities lingering deep within your pores.
The brilliance of this formula lies in its intelligent botanical-acid synergy, featuring 10% Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water and 10% Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water as its mineral-rich base. Naturally occurring betaine salicylate (BHA) dives straight into oil-clogged pores to dissolve trapped sebum and prevent blackheads, while glycolic acid (AHA) sweeps across the surface to polish rough skin texture and fade the look of post-blemish discoloration. Enhanced with soothing allantoin and panthenol, this clarifying elixir calms visible redness and restores equilibrium to unpredictable, breakout-prone complexions without stripping away essential lipids.
Engineered with an ultra-fine, targeted misting pump, this toner fits seamlessly into any morning or evening ritual—whether spritzed directly onto bare skin for an invigorating pick-me-up or misted onto a cotton pad to gently sweep away stubborn residual grime after cleansing. The clean, watery liquid absorbs in seconds with zero sticky film, creating a soft, glass-skin canvas that allows subsequent ampoules, essences, and moisturizers to absorb at peak efficacy. Certified cruelty-free, paraben-free, and dermatologically tested, it is the uncomplicated, everyday reset button your skin barrier has been craving.
Gentle Dual-Acid Exfoliation: Powered by natural fruit-derived AHA (glycolic acid) and gentle BHA (betaine salicylate), this toner steadily sweeps away dead surface cells while clearing congested pores. It smooths out rough, bumpy texture over time without triggering dryness, peeling, or barrier irritation.
Willow Bark & Apple Fruit Water Base: Formulated with 10% white willow bark water and 10% apple fruit water instead of plain water to provide deep, antioxidant-rich hydration. This botanical base calms active sensitivity while naturally encouraging cell turnover for a fresh, luminous glow.
Blackhead & Sebum Defense: Dives deep into oily, pore-heavy areas like the T-zone to dissolve trapped sebum before it hardens into whiteheads or stubborn blackheads. Daily application keeps midday shine balanced while preventing future blemish flare-ups.
Fine-Mist Spray Delivery: Features an ergonomic spray dispenser that releases an ultra-fine, even cloud of mist across the face and neck for fast, mess-free application. You can spritz it directly onto bare skin for an immediate moisture boost or apply it with a cotton pad for a clarifying wipe-down.
Korean Glass-Skin Prep: Absorbs in seconds with zero tacky, heavy, or greasy residue to leave skin feeling soft, supple, and completely refreshed. It acts as the ideal pre-serum primer, maximizing the absorption of your subsequent essences and creams.

While this toner contains chemical exfoliants suitable for many skin types, it may be too strong for very sensitive or compromised skin. We recommend patch testing first and introducing it gradually (1-2 times per week) before increasing frequency. If you experience persistent irritation, redness, or burning, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
