Collection: AHA / BHA Toners

Toners are typically used as a step after cleansing to prepare the skin for the rest of a skincare routine. Acid toners, in particular, are formulated to support skin comfort following cleansing while helping to refine the appearance of the skin’s surface.

After cleansing, the skin can feel temporarily unbalanced or tight. Acid toners are commonly used to help restore a feeling of comfort and support the skin’s natural balance, creating a smooth, refreshed base for subsequent products. When used as directed, they can be incorporated into both simple and more targeted skincare routines.

Acid toners contain exfoliating ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), which work on the surface of the skin to help loosen dead skin cells. This gentle exfoliating action can help improve the appearance of uneven texture and support skin that looks clearer and more refined over time. Unlike physical exfoliants, acid toners provide an even, controlled exfoliation without scrubbing.

Beta hydroxy acids, such as salicylic acid, are oil-soluble and are commonly used in cosmetic products formulated for blemish-prone or congested skin. These ingredients can help improve the appearance of blocked pores and blackheads when used consistently as part of a routine. Alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic acid, work on the skin’s surface and are often associated with improvements in the appearance of dullness and uneven tone.

With regular use as directed, acid toners can help support skin that appears smoother, clearer, and more even in tone. They are often chosen to complement routines focused on improving the appearance of breakouts, visible congestion, discolouration, fine lines, and uneven texture — without relying on harsh exfoliation.

Our range of acid toners offers options suited to different skin concerns and preferences, allowing you to choose a formula that fits your routine and skin type. As with all exfoliating products, it is recommended to follow use with hydrating skincare and daily sun protection, and to avoid use on compromised or irritated skin.
