Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 150ml

Your pores don't stand a chance. Inspired by the Korean Aqua Peel Facial — one of the most coveted in-clinic treatments in all of K-beauty — this multiple award-winning, bestselling toner is the rare formula that is simultaneously a powerful dual-acid exfoliant and an intensely hydrating essence, working brilliantly in perfect harmony. Built on a 62% watermelon extract and cactus water base, it visibly tightens pores, smooths uneven texture, and floods the skin with moisture — all in one single, effortless step, morning and night, every single day. This is the toner that convinced the world that exfoliation and hydration belong together.

• 3% PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) — The Sensitive Skin Exfoliant — A larger-molecule acid that gently resurfaces, polishes, and smooths the skin's surface without penetrating too deeply — making it exceptionally well-tolerated even on sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin. Delivers continuous, progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and radiance with every single use, while also carrying inherent hydrating properties that keep skin balanced and comfortable
• 2% BHA (Betaine Salicylate / Willow Bark Extract) — The Pore Specialist — A skin-identical, plant-derived beta-hydroxy acid that is oil-soluble by nature, meaning it penetrates directly deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum, clear congestion, and actively tighten the appearance of pores from within — delivering the clinically validated pore-minimising results that have made this toner an icon
• 62% Watermelon Extract + Cactus Water Base — An extraordinarily concentrated, antioxidant-rich fruit base packed with Vitamins A, B, C and E, lycopene, mineral salts, and amino acids that instantly floods the skin with pure, deep hydration while actively protecting it from free radical and UV-induced damage — creating the perfect, supple canvas for the rest of your skincare routine to absorb and perform optimally
• Hyaluronic Acid + 16% Glycerin — A dual-action moisture retention powerhouse that holds up to 1,000x its weight in water, instantly plumping and visibly bouncing back the skin's natural moisture levels — counterbalancing the exfoliating acids completely and ensuring the skin is left nourished, never stripped, dry, or irritated after every single use
• Hibiscus AHA + Lactobacillus Watermelon Ferment — Naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acids from hibiscus combined with fermented watermelon probiotics that work synergistically to gently resurface texture, refine skin tone, strengthen the microbiome, and amplify the formula's overall brightening and smoothing effect
• Tea Tree Extract + Licorice Root Extract — A botanical anti-inflammatory and brightening duo that actively soothes irritation, calms redness, reduces the appearance of blemishes, and visibly fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven dark spots over time
• Cucumber Extract + Centella Asiatica — Deeply soothing, anti-redness botanicals drawn from traditional Korean skincare wisdom that calm and cool sensitised skin, reduce visible redness, and create an overall sense of comfortable, balanced skin health with every application
• Clinically Proven, Multiple Award-Winning — 100% of subjects saw a clinically significant reduction in pore size after just 2 weeks of use (clinical study, 31 subjects). Hydration levels jumped +75% immediately after first application, and excess oil production dropped 21% after 4 weeks of use.

Daily Routine (AM & PM):

1. After cleansing, dispense the toner directly into your palms and gently press it into your face and neck using light patting motions until fully absorbed — do not rub or drag the skin
2. Alternatively, saturate a cotton pad with the toner and sweep gently across the face and neck in upward, outward motions for a more targeted application
3. Avoid the eye area entirely during application
4. Allow the toner to fully absorb for 30–60 seconds before proceeding to the next step of your routine
5. Always follow with SPF during the day — as an active acid toner, sun protection is essential to protect the freshly exfoliated skin from UV damage
6. ⚠️ Do not combine with Benzoyl Peroxide in the same routine — the BHA in this formula is incompatible with Benzoyl Peroxide

K-Beauty Toner Pad Glass Skin Technique:

1. Saturate a cotton toner pad generously with the Watermelon PHA + BHA Toner until fully soaked through
2. Apply the saturated pad directly to targeted areas of the face — cheeks, forehead, nose, or chin — pressing it gently to hug the contours of your skin
3. Leave the pad on for 5–10 minutes for an at-home, glass-skin, Korean Aqua Peel Facial experience
4. When removing the pad, swipe it gently along the face and neck to sweep away any loosened dead skin cells and reveal instantly smoother, more refined skin

💡 Pro Tip: Follow immediately with the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops as your serum step for a complete, synergistic pore-minimising and glow-boosting dual routine — your skin will look noticeably brighter, plumper, and more refined after just one use. For sensitive skin, perform a patch test on the back of your hand before your first full-face application.
