PHA + BHA Face Toner - Korean Skin Care Pore Minimizer & Gentle Facial Exfoliator for Tightening, Hydrating & Exfoliating - Glycerin, Watermelon & Cactus Water (150ml)

The Glow Recipe PHA + BHA toner is a gentle, hydrating exfoliating toner that combines PHA (polyhydroxy acid) and BHA (beta hydroxy acid) to help smooth texture, refine pores, and brighten the skin without harsh irritation — even on more sensitive skin types. Its formula also includes hydrating ingredients like watermelon extract, cactus water, and hyaluronic acid, which help maintain moisture while gently sweeping away dead skin cells. Review-Rating+1 Many users praise its lightweight, refreshing feel and dewy finish, making it easy to layer in both AM and PM routines, and it’s often noted for leaving skin soft and glowing. The watermelon-infused scent and pretty packaging add to the sensory experience (though fragrance may not suit everyone). Glowpink+1 On the downside, some find the exfoliation too mild if you’re after stronger texture smoothing or heavier pore clearing, and a few with sensitive or very oily skin feel it doesn’t control oil or exfoliate as deeply as stronger acids might. A few users have also reported slight tingling or breakouts early on. Review-Rating+1 Bottom line: A great daily toner for those seeking gentle exfoliation + hydration with a glowing finish — ideal for combination, normal, or sensitive skin. If you want a powerful chemical exfoliant or intensive pore treatment, you might look to stronger BHA products instead.

I’ve been using this toner for a couple weeks now and my skin already looks smoother and feels softer. The texture sits right between watery and gel-like so it sinks in quick without leaving any residue. I usually pat it in with my hands after cleansing and it plays nice with my serums and moisturizer. The scent is light and fresh, almost like walking past a watermelon stand in the summer 🍉🌿. And it never stings or leaves my face feeling tight, which is rare for something with exfoliating acids. My pores look less noticeable around my nose and cheeks, which was my main goal. The pink frosted bottle is cute enough to leave out on the counter and the cap twists open smooth without that awkward drip you get with some toners. Helpful tip: store it somewhere cool, the formula feels extra refreshing when it’s slightly chilled. It’s a splurge, but a little goes a long way and this bottle should last a good while. If you’re curious about trying it, I say go for it 💖🙌.

I don’t normally write reviews but I am so wowed by Glow Recipe that I want others to know. I am 62 and this toner is so amazing. It has a very faint nice smell, it feels so fresh on your skin and prepares your skin for moisture.. Morning and night use leaves skin so fresh and ready for toner, serums and moisturizers.

first used this toner a few weeks ago as part of my evening skincare routine, and I instantly loved how gentle it felt on my skin. I like it so much because it exfoliates without irritation, leaving my skin smooth, refreshed, and less congested.reduce breakouts and keeps my pores clear, which has made a noticeable difference in my complexion. The lightweight, watery texture absorbs quickly, and I’ve been using it daily with no redness or dryness. Overall, it’s become a staple in my routine for healthy, glowing skin.

This toner is all that is good, it leaves your skin with a Glow with glass skin effect, besides improving your texture, it blurs dilated pores as it has BHA. It also has PHA which is a family of acids that are noble for the skins and makes it suitable for various skin types. It moisturizes immediately because it has hyaluronic acid without being occlusive. It is simply a wonderful toner that I blindly recommend. Your skin will love it!

I love this toner. I’m 43 and have good skin but felt like it was losing some of its luster, thank you perimenopause. This toner has really helped. It does not dry out my skin at all and helps it fell soft and glow naturally. It has a strong watermelon smell, but I like it. Reminds me a bit of watermelon jolly ranchers and I’m all for it.

Gentle but very moistening, my face responds well to this toner, I have combination acne prone skin.
