Refine rough skin with this exfoliating toner infused with 2% BHA to slough off dead skin cells and accelerate skin cell turnover. Additional ingredients like tannin (extracted from chestnut shells) tighten enlarged pores and remove unwanted shine, while hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate keep moisture levels high.
