Collection: Acid Toners

Acid face toners are a simple way to add gentle exfoliation to your routine: after cleansing, they help the skin surface feel smoother and look fresher while also refreshing the skin. At Glamu you will find toners with AHA, BHA and salicylic acid, from gentle daily formulas to toners made for shiny and combination skin.

BHA toners for shiny and combination skin

BHA, usually salicylic acid, is oil-soluble, which is why it is often chosen for skin that gets shiny or has visible pores. The Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner 150ml is a mild toner with 2% salicylic acid and six types of ceramides, plus hyaluronic acid, panthenol and tea tree extract.

AHA and BHA toners for a fresh, smooth feel

Toners that combine AHA and BHA work on the skin surface and help it feel smoother. The COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner 150ml combines AHA and BHA acids with mineral water for gentle daily exfoliation, and the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner AHA + BHA 150ml pairs Japanese apricot fruit water with glycolic and salicylic acid. Both are made for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin.

How to use an acid toner

After cleansing, apply a small amount with a cotton pad or your hands, avoiding the eye area. Start with a few times a week and increase only if your skin feels comfortable, always following the instructions on the label. Do not combine several strong exfoliating products in one routine and use sunscreen during the day. For a gentler daily toner, take a look at Hydrating Toners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an acid toner do?

An acid toner refreshes the skin after cleansing while acids such as AHA or BHA gently exfoliate the skin surface. With regular use, the skin can feel smoother and look brighter and more even.

Should I choose AHA or BHA?

AHA works on the skin surface and is often chosen for a smoother, brighter look. BHA is oil-soluble and popular for shiny skin and pores. Toners that combine both offer a little of each.

Can I use an acid toner every day?

Some gentle acid toners are made for daily use, while others are better a few times a week. Start slowly, watch how your skin feels and always follow the product instructions.

Do I need sunscreen when using an acid toner?
