What it is

Daily mild exfoliating toner that sweeps away residue while balancing skin with botanical waters and low-level acids.

Who it's for

• Normal to oily or combination skin needing light texture refinement.
• Beginners to chemical exfoliation seeking a low-irritation option.
• Those prone to congestion who prefer a water-light toner step.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water (10%) — natural BHA source to help decongest pores.
• Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water (10%) — gentle AHA-containing water to brighten look of dullness.
• Glycolic Acid — surface exfoliation for smoother texture.
• Betaine Salicylate — BHA derivative for oil control and pore clarity.
• Panthenol — moisture replenishment and barrier comfort.

Free-from / texture

• Water-light mist/toner texture; alcohol-free and quick-absorbing.
• No added fragrance or essential oils in the base formula.
• Low pH to support acid performance without a greasy finish.

How to use & order

• After cleansing, mist or sweep with a cotton pad; avoid eye area.
• Use 2-4 times per week initially; increase to daily if no sensitivity.
• Follow with hydrating serum/essence, moisturizer, and SPF 30+ in the morning.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Do not mix in the same routine with high-percentage acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide to minimize irritation.
• Alternate use with retinoids on different nights if needed for acne routines.
• Hydrate well afterward to buffer dryness; pair with barrier-supportive moisturizer.

Evidence & notes

• Contains low-level AHA/BHA; results tend to be cumulative over weeks, not immediate resurfacing.
• Maintain sunscreen daily; exfoliants can increase photosensitivity.
• Non-comedogenicity varies individually; pause if purging persists beyond a few weeks.

Safety

• External use only; stop use if burning or persistent redness occurs.
• Patch test on the jawline or behind the ear before full-face application.
• Avoid on freshly shaved, peeling, or compromised skin; consult a professional post-procedure.
• For pregnancy/breastfeeding, low-level BHA is generally considered cosmetic-safe; discuss with your clinician for personal guidance.
