BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner, 150ml

Your gentle fighter against impurities: The Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner

Are you struggling with clogged pores, blackheads and a dull complexion, but aggressive exfoliation is too much for your skin? The Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner is your solution. This toner combines the pore-cleansing power of 2% salicylic acid (BHA) with a cocktail of six different ceramides and hyaluronic acid. It effectively removes excess sebum and dead skin cells while strengthening the skin barrier and intensely moisturizing. The result: a clearer, more refined complexion without the typical drying or irritation.

The power of ingredients: exfoliation, soothing and barrier protection all in one

The genius of this toner lies in its balanced formula, which combines potent active ingredients with protective components:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA) (2%): An oil-soluble active ingredient that can penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve accumulated sebum and dead skin cells. It is highly effective against blackheads and helps to prevent breakouts.
• Six ceramide complex: Ceramides are the building blocks of your skin barrier. This complex repairs and strengthens your skin's protective layer, prevents moisture loss and makes the skin more resilient.
• Hyaluronic acid & panthenol: The moisturizing duo. They intensively supply the skin with water, keep it plump and supple and counteract the drying effect of acid.
• Tea tree leaf extract: Known for its antibacterial and soothing properties, it helps to soothe inflammation and clarify the skin.

How to integrate the BHA toner into your routine

1. After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount of toner to a cotton pad.
2. Gently sweep over your face, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Concentrate on the T-zone and other areas with impurities.
3. Start with one application 2-3 times a week in the evening and increase slowly, depending on your tolerance.

Pro tip: Always use sun protection during the day! BHA can make the skin more sensitive to light. To get the best results and protect your skin, SPF 30 or higher is essential.

Any questions about the BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner?

Can I use the toner every day?

Although it is formulated as "gentle", it contains 2% BHA, an effective concentration. We recommend starting with one application every two to three days and observing how your skin reacts. Some skin types can tolerate daily application, for others 2-3 times a week is ideal.

Is tingling normal during application?

A slight, brief tingling sensation may occur when using acids, especially at the beginning. However, it should subside quickly. If your skin burns or becomes red, discontinue use.
