## How it works

The BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner is a 150ml exfoliating toner, used in the evening, after cleansing, on dry skin rather than damp. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named fourth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Salicylic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the exfoliating toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the exfoliating toner Anua sells in Korea, Salicylic Acid and all.

## How to use

1. PM only, after cleansing, two or three nights a week to start. Evening because salicylic acid leaves skin more sun sensitive.
2. Soak a cotton pad and sweep it over the oilier areas, staying off the eye area. Do not press and hold it in one place: a saturated pad parked on thin skin is where irritation starts.
3. Do not rinse it off, and give it a minute to dry down before the next step. Going straight in with a serum dilutes the acid across the face.
4. Follow with a moisturizer every time, and with sunscreen the next morning. Build toward nightly only once two or three nights a week feels like nothing.

## FAQ

### Where does this exfoliating toner go in my routine?

In the evening, after cleansing, on dry skin rather than damp. Anything thinner than an exfoliating toner goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Salicylic Acid and not three changes at once.

### Is this the Korean-market exfoliating toner or a US version?

The Korean-market one, Salicylic Acid and all. We match this exfoliating toner to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.

### What else is on the list besides Salicylic Acid?

Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this exfoliating toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Salicylic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract and Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract.
