Overview

The Inkey List's PHA toner is a 100ml (3.4 fl oz) fragrance-free formula built on hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and aloe leaf juice, meant to gently exfoliate and hydrate without the sting some acid toners cause.

PHA (polyhydroxy acid) exfoliants are generally milder than AHAs like glycolic acid because the molecules are larger and absorb more slowly, which is likely why the brand pairs it with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide rather than leaving it as a straight acid toner. It is vegan and made without parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol or sulfates. The listing does not specify pH or exact PHA percentage, so anyone with reactive skin should patch test before working it into a routine.

  • PHA exfoliating toner in a 100ml / 3.4 fl oz bottle
  • Formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and aloe leaf juice
  • Fragrance-free and vegan
  • Free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol and sulfates

Who it's for

Fits people who want a gentler alternative to glycolic or salicylic toners, particularly those dealing with texture or dullness rather than active breakouts. Less useful for anyone needing a strong exfoliating toner, since PHAs work more slowly than AHAs or BHAs.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Fragrance-free, suited to sensitive skin
  • Combines PHA with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
  • Vegan formula, no parabens or sulfates
  • 100ml bottle sized for regular daily use
What to check first
  • No stated PHA percentage or pH on the listing
  • Milder acid, slower results than AHA or BHA toners

Performance notes

PHA molecules are larger than glycolic or lactic acid, so they exfoliate the surface layer more slowly and tend to cause less irritation on sensitive skin. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in the formula are included to offset any dryness the acid step might otherwise cause. Being fragrance-free removes one common irritant from a toner meant for daily use.
