Updated September 24, 2026
2% BHA toner that Redditors use for oily-skin texture and pores; overuse stings.
What the community says
Redditors mostly use this as a 1–3x weekly exfoliating toner for oilier skin, texture, and pore cleanup. It gets love for redness and smoother skin, but the common warning is overdoing it alongside other actives and wrecking your barrier.

What the science says vs. what Reddit says
What the science says
Salicylic Acid
Some evidence for acne- It usually improved pimples, blackheads and whiteheads, though some results were mixed
- 15 studies back this, including several large reviews
- Used on its own, it often worked about as well as adapalene or tretinoin, but some evidence was low quality
- Used with other acne treatments, it sometimes cleared acne better than the other treatment alone
- Side effects were generally few, with no clear difference from benzoyl peroxide in uncertain evidence
Research context, not treatment advice. Studies are about the ingredient, not necessarily this exact product.
