Overview
Hero Cosmetics blends salicylic acid with AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliants and lotus water in this blackhead-focused toner. The item form is listed as a serum, and the formula carries no fragrance.
A multi-acid formula that targets blackheads without added scent is a clear fit for congested skin. The listing does not give a use schedule or a pH, so people new to exfoliating acids have to work out their own pace.
Who it's for
Clogged pores around the nose and chin are the situation this toner addresses, and the sensitive-skin listing helps a cautious start. Anyone mid-reaction from other exfoliating products should wait, and so should those who skip sunscreen.
Pros and cons
- Salicylic acid with AHA and PHA
- Free of dye, paraben, phthalate, sulfate
- Listed for sensitive skin too
- Cruelty free claim
- Use schedule not given
- Acid strength beyond salicylic acid unstated
- Sold as toner but form listed as serum
Performance notes
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore lining where blackheads form, while AHA and PHA loosen dead cells on the surface. Frequency decides the outcome, since too much exfoliating acid can dry and sting, and sun exposure is more of a concern while using acids.
