Uses the COSRX AHA/BHA toner every other day for congestion, but it strips their barrier: skin looks dehydrated and feels sensitive the next morning.

The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner gave them one large pimple and a few small ones.

“omg I had the same experience! literally one large pimple on one cheek, and few small ones on the other cheek.”

Every other night, the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner broke their skin barrier within a week with breakouts and irritation; reintroducing it weekly irritated their skin again.

“within a week it broke my skin barrier and I had one large pimple and some small ones here and there.”

Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

Noticed no results from the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner; it wasn't strong enough, unlike COSRX's BHA and AHA power liquids.

“I used their AHA/BHA all-in-one and did not notice results.”
negative

Really dislikes the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner for misleading advertising: at 0.1% acids it doesn't exfoliate and is mainly a pH-adjusting toner.

“I really dislike this toner, mainly because it is so misleading in its advertising.”
negative

With dry, ageing skin, the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner manages oil and exfoliates a little on a cotton pad, but disappointed as an anti-ageing booster.

“It does manage oil and can exfoliate a bit when used on a cotton pad, mostly due to the physical swiping.”

Likes the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, sprayed straight onto the face.

“I like this one too. I just spray it directly on my face with my eyes close and then spread it around.”

A quite positive experience with the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner: it smooths their skin and works well under OST vitamin C and other actives.

“Here is my quite positive experience with the COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner.”

About a week in, the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner hasn't caused any problems for their very sensitive skin, and its scent is barely noticeable.

“for some reason my skin hasn't had any problems with it! And my skin is very sensitive.”

The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner preps their sturdy skin for actives, is alcohol-free and refreshing with a short ingredient list; occasionally it tingles slightly.

“I'm quite pleased with this product.”

The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner irritated their skin, which they traced to its low pH after finding no other red-flag ingredients.

“To be honest, I probably would not have batted an eyelash at the pH”

The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner irritates their skin.

“Cosrx AHA/BHA Toner irritates me as well.”

Quite likes the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner's performance on their resilient skin, at about $11 a bottle.

“I personally quite like this product performance-wise, but my skin is of the more resilient type”

A week of patch testing the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner brought no negative side effects.

“I've been patch testing for a week and was ready to dump the whole bottle over my head since it hasn't given me any negative side effects yet”

A few months in, the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner really makes pores less visible, works well with vitamin C, and isn't drying on their very dry skin.

“I have been using this since for a few months now and i have to say that surprisingly it really does make pores less visible.”
