Isntree - Clear Skin BHA Toner

I need some kind of exfoliant otherwise my pores will definitely get clogged. Salicylic Acid makes my skin really ichy and dry even after 1 use. This toner is the best of both worlds. Super gentle, hydrating and no clogged pores because of the gentle form of bha

I originally used Paula's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant. Unfortunately after months it started leaving an oily film on my skin that would not sink in. I bought this to replace it and my goodness does it make my skin feel soft. This may be m go to chemical exfoliant!!

As you can see I used like the middle of the bottle and the second one it's on the way. It really helps to improve the skin texture without drying or irritating. My dry acne prone skin loves it!

Antes de este tónico solía saltarme este paso en la rutina facial porque realmente pensaba que no servía de mucho, pero estaba equivocada.
Tengo la piel mixta con tendencia al acné y tras usar varios productos fuertes para tratar un brote de acné mi piel se quedó bastante deshidratada y sensible. Este tónico, a pesar de tener BHA es muy suave e hidratante y junto con otros productos estoy consiguiendo recuperar mi barrera dérmica, así como mejorar el aspecto de la piel en general.

Lo uso tras la limpieza y en lugar de con algodón, pongo 3-4 gotas en la mano y lo extiendo a toquecitos. Luego repito 2-3 veces más y siento como mi piel recupera su hidratación. Rinde bastante, aún así mi segundo bote está en camino para no quedarme sin él.

Before this toner I used to skip this step in my facial routine because I really thought it was not going to help much but I was soooo wrong.
I have acne-prone combination skin and after using several strong products to treat an acne breakout my skin was quite dehydrated and sensitive. This toner, despite having BHA, is very soft and moisturizing and together with other products I am managing to recover my skin barrier as well as improving the appearance of the skin in general.

I use it after cleaning and instead of using cotton I put 3-4 drops in my hand and spread it gently tapping. Then I repeat 2-3 more times and I feel like my skin recovers hydration. Highly recommended!

love this!! great for sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin. I use it every morning and night right after I wash my face and love how it feels. I am also a really big fan of the benton aloe bha toner - I can't decide which one is better because they both seem to keep impurities at bay while also providing great moisturization. highly recommended!

I have combination, sensitive and acne-prone skin. This toner works pretty well on my skin! It's gentle but effective. My skin looks clearer and smoother. It's also soothing and hydrating. I noticed that the blackheads on my nose got less visible.

I really recommend this toner for sensitive, oily skin types. It's so gentle yet effective at unclogging pores and keeping the skin clear!

The product arrived quickly, in 2.5 weeks. The packaging is good. The product is nice and of high quality, I'm still trying it, but I like the effect on the skin! ☺

This product is moisturizing and balances the oil production. It doesnt feel drying at all. However I wouldn't say this can cure acne, but rather it helps by minimizing the oil production, so your T zone, or any area doesnt feel like a bacoon.

I have tried the bha toners from some by mi and benton as well, but this one is the one for me.

I learned that I can use this exfoliate but only on my oily parts and not my entire face, with this toner I didn't feel the necessity of use a nose band or other physical exfoliators that I'm used to use once in the week to make my blackheads smaller. So here is the good new I only need this toner to mantain my blackheads small.
Another great result is that my makeup doesn't look oily after hours like before, I use makeup everyday and 3 hours after my nose looked oily so I had to use a lot of powder.
With this toner my makeup last almost the complete day without and excessive oil in my nose that is the best result for me, now I'm still using it but only on my nose to control the sebum production in a day that I use makeup.

At first I thought this toner would be too strong to use often, but it’s actually gentle enough to use every night (even for my sensitive-ish acne prone skin). It’s very hydrating as well and has a hint of viscosity, so it absorbs quite quickly. No fragrance/alcohol/oils. I use two layers of this every night, and my skin drinks it up.

If you have sensitive or dehydrated skin and your skin doesn't react well to chemical exfoliant, definitely try this! I love to use this in the winter when my skin is dry. It exfoliates lightly without stripping your skin of moisture. It's by far the most gentle exfoliant I know. Not sure if it would help with acne though.
