TIAM AC Fighting AHA BHA PHA Toner 180ml

The TIAM AC Fighting AHA BHA PHA Toner is a no-nonsense exfoliating toner designed specifically for skin that breaks out. If you’re battling clogged pores, stubborn whiteheads, or post-acne marks that just won’t fade, this is the kind of targeted toner that actually puts in work. The watery texture absorbs instantly without stickiness, so it slots seamlessly into any routine. Unlike harsh acid toners that leave skin raw, this one pairs gentle exfoliation with soothing botanicals to keep irritation in check.

What makes the TIAM AC Fighting AHA BHA PHA Toner stand out is the smart layering of actives. AHA dissolves dead surface cells, BHA clears out congested pores, and PHA adds a gentler exfoliation layer without the sting. Plus tea tree, willow bark, and centella calm inflammation so active breakouts heal faster. This toner suits oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types best, especially those dealing with congestion and uneven texture. Pair it with the  TIAM My Signature Red C Serum for a combined clearing and brightening effect.

Triple-Acid Exfoliation — The TIAM AC Fighting AHA BHA PHA Toner combines three acids for thorough yet balanced skin renewal.

Glycolic Acid (AHA) A small-molecule alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates dead surface cells for smoother, brighter skin. It helps fade post-acne marks and evens out tone with consistent use. One of the most researched exfoliating ingredients in skincare.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) An oil-soluble acid that penetrates into pores to clear out sebum and debris. It’s particularly effective for whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed breakouts. A classic acne-fighting staple for a reason.

Gluconolactone (PHA) A polyhydroxy acid that offers gentle exfoliation without the irritation risk of stronger acids. It’s also a humectant, so it hydrates while it resurfaces. A great option for sensitive or compromised skin.

Tea Tree Leaf Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) A powerful natural antibacterial that helps reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin. It also calms red, inflamed blemishes and supports faster healing. Backed by clinical research for mild-to-moderate acne.

Willow Bark Extract (Salix Alba) A natural source of salicin that mimics the action of BHA in a gentler way. It helps unclog pores and reduce surface oiliness without stripping. Pairs beautifully with synthetic BHA for layered benefits.

Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica) A calming botanical that soothes inflammation and supports skin recovery. Helps buffer the exfoliating actives so your barrier stays comfortable. A must-have in any acne-fighting formula.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Brightens post-acne marks, regulates oil production, and strengthens the moisture barrier. It fits perfectly alongside the acids to deliver multi-tasking benefits. Well-tolerated by most skin types.
