innisfree Volcanic PHA Toner — Shake-to-Activate Exfoliating Face Toner, Oil-Control & Pore-Refining (150ml)

innisfree Volcanic PHA Toner is a shake-to-activate bi-phase toner that combines Jeju volcanic clusters, silica, and gentle acids (PHA + AHA/BHA) to refine texture, control shine, and clarify pores.

This lightweight, fragrance- and alcohol-free toner separates into two layers that must be shaken before use: a volcanic powder-rich phase and a liquid exfoliating phase. The formula is built to remove excess sebum, smooth rough texture, and help keep pores looking clearer without harsh stripping. Clinical testing and self-assessment surveys on a sample group showed quick, visible reduction in oil and improved skin smoothness after a single application.

How does shaking the bottle change the toner’s effect?

Shaking mixes the volcanic clusters and silica with the liquid exfoliating phase so you get both physical-texture refining and chemical exfoliation in each application. The volcanic particles help absorb oil and lightly buff the skin surface while the PHA/AHA/BHA blend works on pore congestion and gentle cell turnover.

• Shake until contents are evenly suspended before dispensing
• Delivers mineral-rich volcanic powder plus dissolved exfoliants in one step
• Helps balance oil without over-drying when used as directed

Will this toner irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is noncomedogenic, dermatologist-patch tested for primary irritation, and made without fragrance and alcohol to minimize common irritants. Because it contains chemical exfoliants (PHAs and AHAs/BHAs), sensitivity varies by individual—start slowly to assess tolerance.

• Suitable for acne-prone and oily skin types but introduce gradually
• Patch-test on a small area if you have reactive skin
• Avoid contact with eyes and lips; discontinue if irritation occurs

How should I incorporate this into my morning and evening routine?

Use after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers, both AM and PM, for better texture and oil control. Apply a few drops to a cotton pad and sweep across face and neck, letting the toner absorb before layering other products.

• Shake, pour onto a cotton pad, wipe face and neck avoiding eyes
• Follow with targeted treatments and a lightweight moisturizer
• In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen if exposed to daylight

What results can I expect and how quickly?

Immediate effects may include reduced surface oil and smoother-feeling skin after a single use, according to internal studies. Regular use can help maintain a matte finish and clearer-looking pores, though individual outcomes depend on skin type and overall routine.

• Clinical testing showed a notable decrease in excess sebum after one use
• Users reported smoother skin and clearer pores in short-term assessments
• Consistent twice-daily use supports longer-term texture control

Who this is for: innisfree Volcanic PHA Toner is aimed at people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want a lightweight, multitasking toner to reduce shine, refine texture, and help keep pores clearer without strong fragrances or alcohol. If you prefer gentle chemical exfoliation paired with mineral-rich volcanic powder and are willing to start slowly to assess tolerance, this toner fits easily into both AM and PM routines.
