How it works
The Aloe BHA Skin Toner is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Beta-Glucan and Aloe Barbadensis 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 toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner Benton sells in Korea, Salicylic Acid and all.
Key benefits
- Salicylic Acid, the exfoliant this toner is built around
- Allantoin on the same list, an active
- Beta-Glucan on the same list, a polysaccharide
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Psidium Guajava (Guava) Fruit Extract and Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Extract further down the same list
- Cynanchum Atratum Extract and Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract further down the same list
Key actives
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is the entry this toner is named after, and the list carries it.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it twenty-third on this toner's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. The panel names it twenty-first on this toner's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient. It is named eighth on this toner's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. It is named tenth on this toner's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a 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 toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Salicylic Acid and all. We match this 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?
Allantoin, Beta-Glucan and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this 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: Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Psidium Guajava (Guava) Fruit Extract and Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Extract.

How to use
- Use it right after cleansing while the face is still slightly damp, which is when a watery layer spreads furthest.
- Pour a little into your palms or onto a cotton round and press it over the face rather than rubbing it in.
- Follow within a minute with your serum and moisturizer, so the water you just added has something to sit under.
- Do not let it dry down completely before the next step, since a bare surface undoes most of what this layer is for.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Salicylic Acid on the list.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this toner an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

It can be especially useful for skin that is easily irritated or prone to redness, including conditions such as rosacea, eczema and contact dermatitis.
