The INKEY List

Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) Gentle Exfoliating Toner

Toner · 17 ingredients

A gentle exfoliating toner formulated with 3% PHA to slough away dead skin cells and improve skin texture while allowing subsequent skincare to absorb more effectively. Niacinamide at 3% helps control excess oil, reduce blemishes, and calm redness, while aloe barbadensis leaf juice soothes the skin throughout the process. It is well suited for those dealing with uneven texture, dark spots, and excess oil.
