FRANKLY Glycolic AHA Toner 8.05% – Pore-Refining Exfoliant with 17 Amino Acids & Hyaluronic Acid, 3.38 fl oz

FRANKLY AHA 8.05% Toner is a glycolic acid–based exfoliating toner that smooths texture, refines pores, and delivers lightweight hydration.

This Korean-formulated toner combines 8.05% glycolic acid with a complex of 17 amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and Centella Asiatica to gently resurface skin while supporting moisture and elasticity. It’s crafted for routine use when you want clearer-looking skin texture, improved surface radiance, and a less congested complexion without heavy creams. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, GMOs, and artificial dyes.

How does this toner improve skin texture and surface tone?

The 8.05% glycolic acid works as a chemical exfoliant to loosen dead skin cells and promote smoother skin over time. Regular use can help reduce visible roughness and restore a fresher-looking epidermis without abrasive scrubs.

• Glycolic acid (AHA) at 8.05% for controlled resurfacing
• Helps diminish flaky patches and uneven texture
• Lighter alternative to physical exfoliants for daily/regular use

Will this toner help with enlarged or congested pores?

The toner includes a blend of 17 amino acids designed to support skin structure and a clearer surface, helping pores appear more refined. By removing surface buildup and smoothing the skin, pores can look smaller and less noticeable over time.

• 17 amino acids to support elasticity and surface balance
• Exfoliation reduces debris that stretches pore openings
• Lightweight formula avoids pore-clogging oils

How does it hydrate and soothe while exfoliating?

Alongside glycolic acid, the toner includes hyaluronic acid for hydration and Centella Asiatica for calming support. This combination helps maintain moisture and reduce the feeling of tightness that can accompany resurfacing treatments.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate hydration and plumping
• Centella Asiatica complex to help soothe sensitized skin
• Formulated to preserve skin's natural moisturizing factors

How should I include this toner in my routine and what precautions should I take?

Use the toner after cleansing and before serums or moisturizer; apply a thin layer with a cotton pad or fingertips. Because AHAs increase sun sensitivity, follow with daily sunscreen and avoid combining with other strong actives without monitoring tolerance.

• Apply once daily or as tolerated, preferably at night at first
• Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use
• Start slowly if you use retinoids or other acids to avoid irritation

Who this is for: FRANKLY AHA 8.05% Toner suits anyone seeking a science-driven Korean exfoliant that smooths texture, helps reduce the appearance of pores, and supports hydration without heavy emollients. It’s appropriate for those comfortable introducing an AHA into their regimen—especially users with dullness, light flakiness, or uneven surface tone—while people with very reactive skin should patch-test first and consult a skincare professional if unsure. The product is vegan and cruelty-free for shoppers prioritizing ethical formulations.
