Using Timed-Released BHA Toner with Salicylic Acid 2%

A timed-released BHA toner containing 2% Salicylic Acid can generally be used both during the day and at night.

Timed-release technology helps to deliver the Salicylic Acid gradually over time, which can help reduce potential irritation compared to traditional formulations.

However, Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.

Important Considerations:

• Daytime Use: If you use the toner in the morning, it is crucial to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. This protects your skin from sun damage and minimizes the risk of increased sensitivity or sunburn.
• Nighttime Use: Using the toner at night is also an effective option and avoids the need for immediate sun protection after application.

Ultimately, whether you use it day or night, or both, depends on your skin's tolerance and your overall skincare routine. Start by using it a few times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Always monitor your skin for any signs of irritation.
