MAREE Exfoliating Toner Salicylic Acid AHA+BHA Liquid – Hydrating Pore-Refining Face Exfoliant

MAREE Exfoliating Toner is a lightweight AHA+BHA liquid that exfoliates surface dead skin and unclogs pores while delivering gentle hydration.

This serum-texture toner combines salicylic acid with a 4-acid AHA complex plus hyaluronic acid to refine texture, reduce the look of enlarged pores, and leave skin feeling soft without tightness. Formulated for regular use in a daily routine, it works as a pore-refining toner, skin exfoliator, and hydrating step to help skin appear smoother and more even-toned.

How does this toner help smooth rough or uneven skin?

The dual-action blend pairs BHA (salicylic acid) to penetrate and clear pore build-up with three AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic) that gently loosen surface dead cells. Together they accelerate visible texture improvement while preserving moisture, so skin looks more refined over time without feeling stripped.

• Salicylic acid targets sebum and trapped debris to refine pores.
• Glycolic and lactic acids slough away dull surface cells for radiance.
• Mandelic acid offers a milder AHA action helpful for sensitive areas.
• Hyaluronic acid maintains hydration to prevent dryness after exfoliation.

Will this exfoliant be too harsh for daily use?

MAREE’s formulation is designed as a gentle liquid exfoliant meant for frequent use, but tolerance varies by skin. Start with every other day or a few times weekly to assess comfort, then increase as tolerated; discontinue if persistent irritation occurs.

• Begin slowly: apply 2–3 times weekly, then adjust based on response.
• A lightweight, fast-absorbing texture reduces surface friction and burning sensations.
• Contains hydrating hyaluronic acid to minimize tightness after application.
• Not a physical scrub—chemical exfoliation reduces mechanical irritation risk.

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use the toner after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers. Apply with a cotton pad or palms, allow it to absorb, then follow with targeted treatments and sunscreen in the morning because exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.

• Cleanse thoroughly, pat skin dry, then apply the toner as the next step.
• Follow with antioxidant serums or a lightweight moisturizer for additional hydration.
• Always use broad-spectrum SPF during daytime to protect freshly exfoliated skin.
• Avoid layering with other strong acids or retinoids without spacing to reduce irritation risk.

What results can I expect and how soon?

Visible texture smoothing and a reduction in the appearance of clogged pores can appear within a few weeks with consistent use, while overall radiance and softness usually become noticeable sooner. Individual results depend on skin type, frequency of use, and existing concerns.

• Initial brightness and softer skin often seen within days to two weeks.
• Reduced appearance of congested pores and smoother texture typically by 4–8 weeks.
• Regular, gentle use helps maintain results without over-exfoliating.
• For persistent issues, pair with a consistent routine and professional advice when needed.

Who is this for: MAREE Exfoliating Toner is suitable for people seeking a chemical exfoliant that targets clogged pores, dull texture, and uneven tone while maintaining hydration. It fits into routines for combination, oily, and normal skins looking to refine pores and boost radiance; those with very reactive skin should introduce it gradually or consult a dermatologist before regular use.
