Overview
['This pad format toner stands out for stacking three acid types, AHA, BHA, and PHA, alongside tea tree leaf oil and other botanical extracts, according to the listed Special Ingredients. The Active Ingredients field names Alpha Hydroxy Acid specifically, and the overall Product Benefits label is Exfoliating.', 'Each pack holds 60 pads at 130 ml, and the formula also lists witch hazel leaf extract and lavender flower extract alongside the acids. It is labeled unscented and fragrance free despite the botanical extract list, and is priced at $19.20.', 'With 618 reviews and a 4.4 star average, this is the lowest rated product in this set of eight, though still a solidly positive score for a multi acid exfoliating pad.']

- Fragrance free formula despite the botanical ingredient list
- 60 pads per pack for a reasonable per use cost at $19.20
Cons
- Lowest star rating (4.4) among this group of eight toners
- Combining three acid types may be too intensive for sensitive or beginner users
- Container type isn't clearly specified in the listing
Performance notes
Alpha Hydroxy Acid is the named active ingredient, and the Special Ingredients field adds AHA, BHA, and PHA together, which makes this a more multi layered exfoliating formula than most single acid toners in this category. Tea tree leaf oil is included, an ingredient often paired with acids for its fresh, clarifying feel, alongside witch hazel leaf extract and lavender flower extract for a calming counterbalance. Because three acid types are combined, easing in with less frequent use is a reasonable approach for anyone new to chemical exfoliation.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average from 618 reviews is a respectable but comparatively modest result next to some of the other toners here, which may reflect the more intensive multi acid formula not agreeing with every user's skin.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use AHA, BHA, and PHA together in one product?
Combining acid types in a single product is common in Korean skincare and can be gentler than using three separate acid products at once, since the concentrations are typically balanced for daily or frequent use. Anyone new to acids should still start with less frequent application and watch for irritation.
Why does an unscented product list lavender and tea tree extracts?
Unscented and Fragrance Free typically refer to no added fragrance oils or perfume compounds, not necessarily the complete absence of every plant derived ingredient with a natural scent. Tea tree and lavender extracts here are included for their skin benefits rather than as fragrance additives.
