COSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Toner – Exfoliating Brightening Daily Toner

Description

When skin needs clarity, precision triumphs. Acids, antioxidants, and a light, watery texture create a purifying impulse without aggression. The result: a clearer tone, smoother texture, and intelligent pore action.

COSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Toner combines a three-pronged action: AHA gently removes the surface keratinized layer, BHA dissolves oil-soluble impurities within the pores, and vitamin C supports radiance and antioxidant protection. A balanced pH allows acids to work effectively without disrupting the skin’s barrier. This is a daily-use calibrated concentration, designed for micro-exfoliation, not shock.

The scientific basis is simple: AHA acids weaken corneodesmosomal bonds, promoting natural desquamation; BHA, being lipophilic (e.g., salicylic acid or its derivatives), reaches deep into pores and reduces the appearance of comedones; a stabilized form of vitamin C helps inhibit tyrosinase activity, thereby diminishing areas of uneven pigmentation, while free radicals are neutralized before they can damage collagen fibers. Humectants (e.g., glycerin, betaine) collectively ensure moisture balance, so that exfoliation is smooth, not taut. With the addition of calming components, the acids’ action becomes compatible with a daily routine.

The texture is fresh and clear. It absorbs quickly, is non-sticky, and leaves no film. The scent is minimal or entirely unobtrusive: the formula is focused on function, not show.

• Daily Micro-exfoliation: smoother skin texture, fewer clogged pores, fewer minor imperfections.
• Pore Hygiene and Balance: BHA acts where sebum accumulates, making the skin appear cleaner and calmer.
• Brightness and Evenness: vitamin C contributes to radiance and helps visually reduce dullness and spots.
• Antioxidant Protection: oxidative stress is neutralized, and collagen integrity is preserved.
• pH Dermacompetence: action is harmonized with skin physiology for effective yet gentle results.
• Lightweight Feel: watery, non-sticky, with a good probability of compatibility for most skin types.

The COSRX philosophy is clearly revealed here: less noise, more science. The name Refresh indicates direction – to renew and purify, while Daily emphasizes discipline: consistent, moderate action, respecting the skin barrier. This toner speaks through its transparent formulation and anticipated results: clearer, more even, more balanced skin, without theatrical promises. It simply works as a well-composed synergy of AHA, BHA, and vitamin C should.

Usage

After cleansing your face, apply a small amount of COSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Toner onto a cotton pad or directly into your palms and gently pat the product into your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Use morning and evening daily. As it contains AHA and BHA acids, which can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, be sure to use broad-spectrum sun protection during the day.
