Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner.

"The PHA, which is in this toner, is actually known to be great for sensitive skin. PHAs are known to be, to put it very simply, a gentler version of AHA. Does everything AHAs do, but gentler, and that is down to its larger molecule size, so it doesn't penetrate the skin as deep and as quickly as a regular AHA does. Studies have also shown that PHAs work very well on easily sensitized skin, including rosacea, which is why my skin loves this so much. I have rosacea. And chemical exfoliants can really rubber my skin the wrong way. So this is a perfect regular toner that I can use without bothering my skin. The BHA is actually Betaine Salicylate, which is a mix of Betaine and Salicylic Acid. Again, it's said to be a lot more gentler than pure Salicylic Acid. Like a lot of other K-beauty products, uses Betaine Salicylate instead of Salicylic Acid, purely because of the restrictions that South Korea puts on Salicylic Acid. [...] And to oversimplify, Betaine Salicylate is almost half the strength of Salicylic Acid."

"With Watermelon, which is rich in antioxidants, we have Betaine Salicylate. So you get that really nice, gentle exfoliation. A mix of Betaine and Salicylic Acid. Polyhydroxy Acids, a very nice, gentle exfoliant. Cactus Water, which helps hydrate and moisturize the skin. Tea Tree Extract, which for me works wonders on soothing my skin and soothing redness. I absolutely love this. I absolutely love it as a toner/essence."

"I had a cocktail the other day that had cactus water in it and it tasted exactly like this product. I drank it all. But this product just feels light, it's refreshing, it's instantly hydrating. When my skin is craving, dying for some hydration, this is what I go for. I use this every day and night. I absolutely love it. My favorite product of all time, not just Glow Recipe, ever."

"The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA and BHA pore-tight toner is one of my favorite products of all time, my favorite toner of all time. It's gentle, using betaine salicylate instead of salicylic acid plus a PHA, and takes that Korean approach of teaming exfoliation [...] up with hydration. [...] Moving away from high percentage actives to lower percentage gentler actives more often has transformed my skin, especially for my rosacea, and this toner is the perfect product to do that as it slots easily into my daily routine."

"The best product for me has to be their watermelon glow BHA PHA pore tight toner, it's very gentle exfoliation with a load of hydration that gives my rosacea prone skin this immediate glow and hydration you can actually feel, targeting concerns I'd usually need stronger chemical exfoliants for. It uses bain sulfate instead of salicylic acid, a really gentle version of BHA, so it's a great starter exfoliant for those new to exfoliation but also for those who want to exfoliate low and slow. I can't remember when I didn't use [...] this, it's [...] one of my favorite products of all time."
