ANUA BHA 2 Gentle Exfoliating Toner Mild Facial Exfoliant Salicylic Acid for Pores and Sebum Teatree Extract Hyaluronic

Ok so I bought this toner for the first time August 17, 2024 because I needed a BHA toner and I had a great experience with Anua's niancinamide serum so I figured why not. Long story short, It works. Here's how: 1. Exfoliating - I have textured, acne prone skin but now its just mildly acne prone. My face has been the smoothest its ever been. The size of my pores have decreased tremendously and it probably would've been much smaller if I were more strict with my application of this toner. 2. Non- astringent: This doesn't burn at all for me. Of course, when i get breakouts my skin gets more sensitive but even then if it gets into an inflamed pore, its like a 1 second tingle and thats it. I've tried other BHAs and they'd burn so bad for minutes on end but this one is the most gentle BHA I've had the pleasure of using. All the effectiveness of a BHA with none of the burn. 3. Value for money: For a 150ml/5 fl.oz bottle, THIS THING LASTS. Like I said I bought it mid August 2024 and I'm at the end of that same bottle in late March 2025. Its been borderline 7 months. PLUS I'm heavy-handed in my application, so its running down my arms with the amount I use AND STILL i lasted 7 months. I've bought toners for more money with less mls and run out within 2-3 months. 4. Consistency: This toner has more of a watery consistency which isn't a bad thing but its something I love about it. It's lightweight and absorbs well into my skin rather than sitting on top and taking forever to dry down like those from other brands. I do use my hands to apply this toner for that same reason, because using a cotton round/pad would soak up most of the product. I wanted to use this for a good amount of time and it worked. 5. Other uses on the body: I work in medicine so I wash my hands often and come into contact with other solvents and solutions on my hands on a daily basis. One winter day my knuckles started to get rough and thick. I couldn't get it to scrub off in the shower so I grabbed good old Anua BHA 2% and put some in a glove and placed my hand in it to let it soak for a few minutes hoping the wonders it worked on my face would replicate on my hand. It did. It started to peel by the next morning and the rest I got off in the shower. All I needed was something to break through that rough patch and Anua did not disappoint me. To conclude, it worked for me but everyone's skin is different so take into consideration you and your skin. But me and my temperamental dark skin LOVE this and will be purchasing again and again!

This toner is probably the best one on the market for helping unclog pores on nose and chin, while hydrating. I've tried too many to count and love skincare, especially Korean Beauty. Trust me, this one works! It's deeply clarifying, but doesn't dry out my combo/ dry skin. I own over 250 K-Beauty skincare products, This is one of my absolute favorites (Top 10 of all products). I already bought my 2nd bottle. You can make it last, but I had to have another on backup, it's that good! Try this one 1st. There are others thst are ok -- Ex. Some By Mi, Beauty of Joseon, Medicube Zero Pore, *Naturium*) but this one is the best! Anua products one can be hit or miss, but this product is stellar!! Highly recommend for all skin types.

Great product, exfoliates without drying your skin or causing irritation. I recommend using two or three times a week until your skin gets used to it. Read more

i have sensitive, acne-prone skin. This product has been working great for me, ive been using it 2-3 times a week and love how it makes my skin feel smoother (smoothes out skin texture) and controls my acne. I feel like its important to mention that I have mild acne, so its been working wonders. For people with sensitive skin, i would recommend doing patch tests first. Also, please din't forget to not mix this with any other exfoliants. Whenever I apply this, i make sure to use a barrier supporting serum and a good, simple moisturizer. Read more

I would say this product does work, definitely work on Asian skin since it’s Korean skincare. It’s made for and according to Asian skin type. Give it a chance, if it doesn’t work I recommend Anua’s milky toner which is more versatile. Read more

I loved it because it is an excellent tonic for my face since my face is quite oily and this helps me to make my skin look natural and soft Read more

I have extremely sensitive, dry, acne prone skin and I have been loving this lately. My God to BHA toner was Naturium for a few years but I found that it can irritate my skin sometimes. Gave this a try and I really like it. There is still a slight tingle but it's so subtle I barely notice it. Would repurchase for sure. Read more
