Reviews Summary
Customers say this toner feels gentle and refreshing on the skin. Many reviews highlight its effectiveness for improving skin texture and smoothness. The product absorbs quickly and works well for those with sensitive skin, though some note it can feel drying. Frequent comments address its mild exfoliating properties and how makeup applies better afterward. While most find it suitable for daily use, some prefer using it just a few times per week. Reviews mention the bottle size could be larger.

    Really nice

    Lovely gentle exfoliator, hasn't caused me any irritation (I have very sensitive skin). I feel like my skin looks and feels smoother having used it for a few weeks. Feels nice on application and easy to use.

    PHA toner

    this toner is perfect for blackheads and cleaning out the dirt from the face. Even it is best for dry and sensitive skin.

    This, along with the serum made my face feel like leather after a week. I threw it out.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback, Gypsie.

    We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with our PHA Toner. While many customers use our PHA Toner without issue, we understand that everyone's skin can react differently to exfoliating formulations, and tolerance levels can vary greatly from person to person. The drying effects you've described are particularly concerning feedback for us, as our toner is designed to gently exfoliate while maintaining skin hydration. We recognise how disappointing it must be when products don't work well for your skin, especially when used together in a routine. Please do reach out to our askINKEY Team if we can support you further with your experience 🖤
