How it works
Water and Prunus Mume Fruit Water, the green plum extract the name refers to, open the ingredient list, followed by Dipropylene Glycol and Glycerin for humectant support. Glycolic Acid, an AHA, sits within the first half of the list, and Salicylic Acid, a BHA, follows soon after, the pairing that makes this a genuine exfoliating toner rather than a purely hydrating one. Tromethamine works alongside the acids to help balance the formula's pH, and a run of botanical extracts, Melia Azadirachta Leaf and Flower Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract and Curcuma Longa Root Extract, sits mid list for a calming counterbalance to the acids. Vigna Radiata Seed Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract close out the supporting ingredients. Because it carries both an AHA and a BHA at everyday toner strength, this is meant as a daily maintenance exfoliant rather than an occasional strong peel.
Key benefits
- Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid: A dual AHA and BHA pairing dosed at everyday toner strength.
- Prunus Mume Fruit Water: Leads the ingredient list as the toner's carrier fluid.
- Calming botanical trio: Neem, coccinia and turmeric extracts counterbalance the exfoliating acids.
- Tromethamine: Supports the formula's pH balance alongside the acid pairing.
- Fragrance free: No parfum ingredient appears on this toner's own ingredient list.
Key actives
Glycolic AcidAn alpha hydroxy acid, this toner's primary exfoliating active
An alpha hydroxy acid sitting within the first half of the ingredient list, working as this toner's primary exfoliating active at an everyday toner strength.
Salicylic AcidA beta hydroxy acid giving this toner a dual acid profile
A beta hydroxy acid positioned alongside Glycolic Acid, giving this toner a dual acid exfoliating profile rather than relying on a single acid type.
Prunus Mume Fruit WaterGreen plum fruit water, the extract the toner is built around
This fruit water sits second on the ingredient list, functioning as the toner's carrier fluid and the extract the product name is built around.
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root ExtractA calming botanical positioned to balance the exfoliating acids
One of several calming botanical extracts positioned mid list to counterbalance the exfoliating acids in the same formula. Present on this product's own ingredient list.
Is this an exfoliating toner or a hydrating one?
It is genuinely exfoliating, carrying both Glycolic Acid, an AHA, and Salicylic Acid, a BHA, within the first half of the ingredient list. It is dosed at everyday toner strength rather than a strong peel, which is why it is meant for daily maintenance use rather than occasional treatment.
Can I use this toner every day right away?
It is safer to start once daily for the first week or two, especially if you have not used an AHA/BHA product before, then move to twice daily once your skin shows no irritation. Everyone's tolerance for exfoliating acids is different, so there is no single timeline that fits every skin.
Do I need sunscreen while using this toner?
Daytime sun protection is more important while using any AHA or BHA product, since freshly exfoliated skin responds more to sun exposure than skin that has not been exfoliated. This applies to any acid toner, not just this one specifically.
Can I combine this with a separate vitamin A treatment or another exfoliating serum?
No retinol sits on this toner's own ingredient list, so it is best to avoid stacking it with a separate strong acid exfoliant or a retinol product on the same night at first, since combining two active heavy steps raises the chance of irritation. Alternating nights between this toner and a separate active is a more comfortable way to combine them.
Does this toner contain fragrance?
No parfum or fragrance ingredient appears on this toner's own ingredient list. Any scent noticed comes from the fruit water and botanical extracts themselves rather than an added fragrance compound.

Payment and security

How to use
- Cleanse first, then apply the toner to the face with a cotton pad.
- Start with once daily use, in the evening, for the first week or two.
- Move into your serum or moisturizer once the toner has absorbed.
- Do not use this alongside a separate strong exfoliating acid or retinol step on the same night at first, since stacking two active heavy steps raises the chance of irritation before skin adjusts.
Worth knowing
- Introduce this toner once a day for the first week or two rather than twice daily, since Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid together can be more than sensitive skin is ready for right away.
- Daytime sun protection is more important while using any AHA or BHA product, since exfoliated skin is more reactive to sun exposure than skin that has not been exfoliated.
- Avoid layering this toner with a separate strong acid exfoliant on the same night at first, since stacking two exfoliating steps raises the chance of irritation before skin adjusts.
