Overview
A 150ml Korean-style exfoliating toner from Glow Recipe combining PHA and willow bark BHA with watermelon extract, cactus water, and hyaluronic acid, formulated for combination, dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin.
PHA and BHA place this in the gentle chemical exfoliant category rather than a strong acid peel, and the added cactus water and glycerin lean the formula toward hydration alongside exfoliation. The listing notes it is cruelty free and free of mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic ingredients.

Who it's for
Works for buyers wanting a gentle chemical exfoliating toner across most skin types, including sensitive skin, given the PHA over stronger AHA or BHA-only combinations. Recommended in the listing for dry skin specifically, though it also lists compatibility across other skin types.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Gentle PHA plus BHA exfoliation suited to sensitive skin
- Hyaluronic acid and cactus water for hydration
- Cruelty free, free of mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, sulfates
- Compatible with combination, dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin
- Gentler acid profile may be less effective for buyers wanting a strong exfoliating toner
Performance notes
PHA is a larger-molecule acid than glycolic or lactic acid, so it exfoliates more gently and is generally better tolerated by sensitive skin, while the willow bark BHA adds pore-clearing action. Hyaluronic acid and cactus water in the formula are included to offset the drying effect exfoliating acids can otherwise have.
