The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
Koji White's Exfoliating Toner is built around a 5% PHA BHA blend along with niacinamide, kojic acid and hyaluronic acid, aimed at exfoliation alongside hydration and a brighter looking complexion. The formula lists salicylic acid as its active ingredient and is labeled unscented and formulated for sensitive skin.
It comes as a liquid drop-type toner in a 5.07 fluid ounce bottle, and the brand markets it as fragrance free and vegan. Pairing a BHA exfoliant with hyaluronic acid is a common way to offset the drying effect acids can have, keeping the formula more approachable for sensitive skin.
The toner holds a 4.3 star average from 163 reviews, a respectable score with a decent sample size. However, the bought_last_month figure sits at zero, suggesting current sales momentum has cooled even with generally positive past feedback.
Pros
- 5% PHA BHA blend combined with niacinamide, kojic acid and hyaluronic acid
- Formulated for sensitive skin and labeled fragrance free
- Vegan formula
- 4.3 star average across 163 reviews
Cons
- No recent purchases logged in the last month
- Salicylic acid based exfoliation may still be too strong for very reactive skin
- Unscented formula won't appeal to shoppers who prefer a scented toner
Performance notes
Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is generally used to support exfoliation and help clear the look of clogged pores, while the PHA component is a gentler acid type that's often better tolerated by sensitive skin. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are included to support the skin barrier and help offset dryness, and kojic acid is a common ingredient for targeting the look of dark spots.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average from 163 reviews reflects solid, consistent satisfaction among people who have tried it. The zero recent purchases stand out, though, and may reflect a stock or visibility dip rather than a drop in quality.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner gentle enough for sensitive skin?
The brand formulates it specifically for sensitive skin and labels it fragrance free, pairing the PHA BHA exfoliant with hyaluronic acid to help balance out any drying effect. Sensitive skin types should still patch test given the acid content.
What does the PHA BHA combination do?
PHA is a gentler exfoliating acid, while the BHA (salicylic acid) targets pores and supports smoother looking texture. Together they offer exfoliation with less potential irritation than a BHA alone.
Is this a vegan product?
Yes, it's labeled vegan skincare, in addition to being unscented and formulated for sensitive skin.
