The "Pore-Clearing" gentle daily exfoliant—formulated with 0.9% Betaine Salicylate and upcycled Chestnut Shell extract to dissolve blackheads and tighten pores for smooth, clarified skin.
Product Description
The Isntree Chestnut BHA 0.9% Clear Toner (formerly known as Clear Skin BHA Toner) is a cult-favorite chemical exfoliant designed to deep-clean pores without the harshness of traditional salicylic acid. It features 0.9% Betaine Salicylate, a fat-soluble BHA that penetrates into the sebaceous glands to dissolve excess sebum, dead skin cells, and blackheads.
A unique addition to this formula is 10,000ppm of Upcycled Chestnut Shell Extract from Gongju, South Korea. These shells are rich in tannins, which act as a natural astringent to tighten enlarged pores and regulate oil production. To ensure the exfoliating process is gentle on the skin barrier, the toner is balanced with Seaweed Complex (Hizikia Fusiforme, Codium Fragile) and Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration. With a skin-friendly pH of 3.5–4.0, it effectively resets your skin's texture, leaving it matte, clear, and incredibly soft.
Key Features
0.9% Betaine Salicylate (BHA): A mild yet effective BHA that clears pore-clogging debris and prevents breakouts with minimal irritation.
Chestnut Shell Pore Care: Harnesses natural tannins to tighten pores and refine skin texture for a smoother appearance.
Oil-Water Balance: Regulates sebum secretion while providing essential hydration to prevent the skin from feeling "stripped."
Soothing & Calming: Infused with Centella Asiatica, Allantoin, and Panthenol to reduce redness and support skin recovery.
Clean & Sustainable Beauty: Uses upcycled chestnut shells and a vegan, fragrance-free formula—safe for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
How to Use
Preparation: Use as the first step after cleansing in your nighttime routine.
Application: Soak a cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin texture, or dispense into palms and pat lightly onto the face (avoiding eyes and lips).
Frequency: For BHA beginners, use 2–3 times a week. Once your skin adapts, you can increase to daily use.
Sun Protection: BHA increases sun sensitivity. If used in the morning, you must follow with SPF 30+.
Caution: Avoid using in the same routine as high-concentration Vitamin C, Retinol, or other strong physical/chemical exfoliants (AHA/PHA). Do not use if you have an allergy to aspirin (ibuprofen).
