What the gurus are saying

The experts who tested it found the combination of mild-strength AHA and BHA notably helpful for acne, texture, redness, and dark spots, with results visible fairly quickly. The formula is gentle enough that people with acne-prone skin may be able to use it more often than daily exfoliants typically allow, depending on their tolerance. One creator noted the added soothing ingredients like snail mucin and centella make it a solid option at the price point.

"The COSRX AHA BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is a great gentle exfoliant that helps to refine skin texture and promote smoother and clearer skin. The combination of AHA and BHA is really ideal for those who are seeking exfoliation and who have a little bit more acne or clogged pores at the same time want to brighten their complexion or improve post acne marks. It's pretty gentle, so while we say don't exfoliate daily, for someone who is acne prone and wanting to use something that can help with their texture and tone, this is definitely something that you can use a little bit more regularly depending on your skin type. It combines mild concentrations of AHA and BHA, with glycolic acid as one of the active ingredients along with betaine salicylate, which is basically a derivative of salicylic acid, along with apple fruit water and willow bark water, which is a natural derivative of BHA."

"This is the Cosrx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner which is 19 bucks. So in here we've obviously got AHA and BHA which is great for so many things. I love it, it's one of the few ingredients I added into my routine where I knew a difference, I could tell a noticeable difference in my skin very quickly. It's great for redness, it's great for acne, it's great for hyperpigmentation, it's great for hydration, it's just a wonderful ingredient all around. And it's really great if you have suffered from blemishes and dark spots. My acne got a lot better when I started using this. I highly recommend everyone try AHA and BHA at least once. And this one also has some nice ingredients like snail mucin, centella, niacinamide. Wonderful product from Cosrx and pretty affordable as well."
