DermaClear BHA Clarifying Toner™
What it is
DermaClear BHA Clarifying Toner™ is the lighter toner-format companion to DermaClear BHA Clarifying Serum™. It uses the same exfoliating, hydrating and antioxidant ingredient concept in a more diluted, fast-spreading format suited to broader application and lower-intensity routine use.
Combination, oily or congestion-prone skin and users who prefer a toner texture rather than a concentrated serum.
Use after cleansing and before serum, gel or moisturiser application.
Key product benefits
The toner format provides lightweight exfoliating support while retaining the wider DermaClear conditioning system.
Salicylic acid helps refine the appearance of congestion and uneven pore texture.
Salicylic acid, gluconolactone and lactobionic acid provide complementary surface-renewal support.
Squalane, sodium lactate, trehalose, panthenol, beta-glucan and aloe support hydration and conditioning.
How to use
Use after cleansing on dry skin. Begin slowly even though this is the lighter DermaClear format.
Application steps
1
Cleanse
Use a mild cleanser and allow the skin to dry fully.
2
Apply toner
Dispense onto a cotton pad or clean hands and apply a thin, even layer over the face or selected areas.
3
Follow with hydration
Apply AquaLock Serum™, AquaLock HydraGel™ or another suitable moisturising product if required.
4
Use sunscreen
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning during use.
Application guidance
Frequency: Begin with two or three non-consecutive uses per week.
Amount: Apply only enough to lightly cover the skin.
Targeted use: It may be applied only to areas prone to congestion or roughness.
Do not apply to wet skin. Damp skin can increase penetration and reduce tolerance.
Do not assume “toner” means non-active. This is still a leave-on BHA product and should be introduced gradually.
Suggested introduction schedule
Increase only when the skin remains comfortable.
Two uses weekly
Use on two non-consecutive evenings.
Up to three uses weekly
Increase only if there is no persistent stinging, redness, dryness or excessive flaking.
Adjust to skin response
Use only as often as needed to maintain a comfortable clarifying routine.
Toner or Serum?
Both products use the DermaClear ingredient concept but differ in intensity and texture.
DermaClear BHA Clarifying Toner™
Choose the toner for a lighter, more diluted format, broader application and lower-intensity routine use.
DermaClear BHA Clarifying Serum™
Choose the serum for a more concentrated 2% BHA treatment and more targeted evening use.
Do not layer the Toner and Serum in the same routine. They are alternative formats within the same clarifying system.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same strength as the 2% BHA Serum?
No. The Toner is positioned as a more diluted, lower-intensity format. The final BHA concentration should be confirmed from the approved toner formula.
Can I use the Toner and Serum together?
No. Choose one DermaClear BHA format in a routine rather than layering both.
Can I use it every day?
Not initially. Begin with two or three uses weekly and increase only when the skin remains comfortable.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, but evening use is simpler during introduction. Broad-spectrum sunscreen is required every morning.
What should I apply afterward?
Follow with a simple hydration product such as AquaLock Serum™ or AquaLock HydraGel™.
What should I do if dryness develops?
Stop use until the skin feels normal, simplify the routine, then restart less frequently.
Choose the appropriate DermaClear format
Select the Toner for lighter clarifying support or the Serum for a concentrated 2% BHA treatment.
