The big selling point of the TIAM toner, of course, is that it contains AHA BHA PHA. Though, for some odd reason, I don't see these ingredients on the ingredient list, but I do see a number of tongue-twisting ingredients. The first ingredient on this list is water, which is fine, but then the second ingredient is alcohol. Alcohol, I know, is abrasive on the skin and, ironically, can cause irritation as well as breakouts.
Anyway, the Amazon description states that the toner is formulated with 4.2% triple acids complex of the AHA, BHA, PHA ingredients.
The research I found about the three acids on the internet says the following,
"The one thing these acid types all have in common is that they are designed to exfoliate the skin, which means they help loosen up the top layer of dead skin cells - these cells are ready to fall off on their own but can be gently removed in order to make way for new, younger skin cells. "
The TIAM toner is made to fight whiteheads, blackheads, oiliness and clogged pores. I am prone to all four of these skin conditions. I've tried many other toners and this one is slightly above average. When I use it as directed, I can see that it helps unblock some of my pores.
In addition, it does not cause irritation nor is it harsh on my skin although my skin does feel a tingle when I use it. The fragrance is light and citrusy.
Plus, for the price, it's a generous 6.1 ounce container of toner and it's one of the better products on the market to help you achieve results. With everything considered, I'd recommend it. reliable size
