SKINFOOD - Pink Grapefruit AHA Toner 200ml

Pink grapefruit does the waking up, AHA does the letting go. SKINFOOD’s Pink Grapefruit AHA Toner is the surface-renewal half of the brand’s exfoliating toner duo: alpha hydroxy acids mildly dissolving dead cells and residue while grapefruit revitalizes — and bakuchiol, the celebrated retinol alternative, refines the finish to smooth.

Why It Works

AHAs are the glow acids — water-soluble exfoliants that loosen dull, dead surface cells so fresher skin reads brighter and softer — and this formula keeps the action mild enough for a toner-step habit. Pink grapefruit brings the revitalizing citrus energy and healthy-glow angle, while bakuchiol — the plant-derived darling known as a gentle retinol alternative — refines skin surface texture for the smooth finish. Glow, clarity, refinement: three mechanisms, one swipe. The acid families are decoded in our AHA-BHA-PHA guide.

How to Use

Evenings after cleansing, two to three times weekly to start: sweep across the face avoiding the eye area, follow with hydration. Alternate nights with the Shine Muscat BHA sister rather than layering both, and keep morning SPF faithful.

Who It’s For

Dull, rough, flaky-textured skin chasing the glow-toner habit; bakuchiol curious; grapefruit people. More acids in AHA-BHA-PHA, more radiance in Brightening & Even Tone.

FAQ

AHA or BHA — which SKINFOOD toner do I pick?

AHA (this one) for surface dullness and rough texture; BHA (Shine Muscat) for clogged pores and oil. Combination skin can alternate evenings.

What is bakuchiol doing here?

The plant-derived retinol alternative refines surface texture — a smoothing bonus layered onto the AHA’s exfoliation, without retinoid irritation.

Will it make skin sun-sensitive?

AHAs increase photosensitivity — evening use and daily SPF are the standing rules of the glow-acid habit.
