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
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
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.

27 of 28 explained
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water plant extract
- Aloe leaf water, the dilute form of aloe used in place of plain water. It carries some of the leaf polysaccharides and sugars.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Pentylene Glycol humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice plant 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.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract plant 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.
- Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract plant extract
- Guava fruit extract, carrying vitamin C, sugars and fruit acids. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant botanical.
- Aspalathus Linearis Extract plant extract
- Rooibos extract, from the South African red bush. It carries aspalathin and other flavonoids and no caffeine, and it is used as a plant antioxidant.
15 more explained
- Cynanchum Atratum Extract plant extract
- Cynanchum Atratum is a root used in Korean traditional practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract in formulas for reactive skin.
- Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract plant extract
- Perilla leaf extract, the same plant Korean cooking uses as kkaennip. The leaf carries rosmarinic acid and luteolin and is used as an antioxidant botanical.
- Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract plant extract
- Omija, the five-flavour berry of Korean tea and herbal practice. Its extract carries lignans and fruit acids and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract.
- Acorus Calamus Root Extract plant extract
- Sweet flag root extract, an aromatic wetland rhizome long used in Korean herbal practice. It is a conditioning plant extract.
- Althaea Rosea Root Extract plant extract
- Hollyhock root extract. Like the flower it is rich in mucilage, so it hydrates and leaves a slippery, cushioned feel.
- Polyglutamic Acid humectant
- Polyglutamic Acid comes from fermented soy and holds several times more water than hyaluronic acid for its weight. It forms a light film on the surface, so it is often layered with hyaluronic rather than replacing it.
- Beta-Glucan polysaccharide
- 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.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- Allantoin active
- 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.
- Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Grapefruit fruit extract, carrying fruit acids, sugars and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning, antioxidant-rich extract.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- C12-14 Pareth-12 emulsifier
- C12-14 Pareth-12 is a solubiliser that keeps oils and fragrance in solution so a clear formula stays clear.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.

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.
