Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner AHA + BHA 150ml

This is an exfoliant — treat it like one

Unlike a plain hydrating toner, this one contains AHA and BHA, which are genuine chemical exfoliants. AHA (an alpha hydroxy acid) works on the surface to smooth texture and dullness; BHA (salicylic acid) is oil-soluble, so it gets into pores to clear congestion. That combination is genuinely useful for oily, bumpy or blackhead-prone skin — but because it exfoliates, it comes with rules that a normal toner does not.

• Start slowly: two to three nights a week, building up only if your skin stays comfortable.
• Do not layer it with other strong actives — retinol, vitamin C or another acid — on the same night. Stacking exfoliants is how people damage their barrier.
• Wear sunscreen every morning, without exception. Exfoliating acids make skin more sun-sensitive, so daily SPF is part of using this product, not optional.
• Stop if skin stings, peels or goes red — that is over-exfoliation, and less is more.

Used sensibly, it keeps skin smooth and pores clear. Used daily on top of other actives, it will irritate — so the honest advice is restraint.

How to use it

1. At night, after cleansing, sweep it over the skin with a cotton pad or press it in with your hands.
2. Follow with a soothing, hydrating routine — this is a good night for a calming serum and a moisturiser.
3. On the nights you use it, skip other acids and retinol.
4. Every morning, apply sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a normal toner or an exfoliant?

An exfoliant. It contains AHA and BHA, so treat it like a chemical exfoliant — build up slowly and do not use it as a plain everyday hydrating toner.

How often should I use it?

Start two to three nights a week and increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Daily use is too much for many people and risks over-exfoliation.

What is the difference between AHA and BHA?

AHA works on the skin's surface to smooth texture and dullness; BHA is oil-soluble and gets into pores to clear congestion. Together they suit oily, bumpy skin.

Do I need sunscreen with it?

Yes, every morning without exception. Exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is an essential part of using this toner.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?

Not on the same night. Stacking strong actives is the fastest way to damage your barrier. Alternate them on different nights instead.

My skin stings after using it — is that normal?

A little tingle can be normal, but stinging, redness or peeling means you are over-doing it. Use it less often and focus on hydrating, soothing steps in between.

Can dry or sensitive skin use it?

With caution and infrequently. Dry and sensitive skin should start once a week at most, and stop if it causes irritation.

Where does it go in my routine?

After cleansing, before serums and moisturiser, at night. Follow it with a calming, hydrating routine to keep the skin comfortable.
