What the gurus are saying

This toner caused significant, unexpected redness even from those usually comfortable with exfoliating acids, a surprising reaction given the formula features gentle exfoliants. The specific ingredient blend (gluconolactone, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and niacinamide) looks promising for improving the appearance of pores. Whether that ingredient promise justifies the real tolerability risk here is ultimately where reviewers divide.

"This is the ITK Tri-Acid Toner. At first it didn't sting, then I felt a little tingling, and it was a bit sticky, but that's normal for a lactic acid formula so I wasn't mad about it. But then my skin started getting more and more red until I looked sunburned. I'm shocked this happened because I didn't use any treatment the night before and didn't think it would be this strong. I don't really have sensitive skin, I can handle all kinds of exfoliating acids, so I don't know why my skin freaked out so much with this one. Very bizarre."

"ITK also has a Tri-Acid Toner. It has gluconolactone, which is a polyhydroxy acid and can gently exfoliate, it also has lactic acid, an exfoliant, salicylic acid, and niacinamide, so this looks to be promising for improving the appearance of pores."
