PRODUCT DETAILS
Our acneBIOTICS Porefection Toner pairs medical-grade 2% salicylic acid with calming botanicals. It sweeps away leftover oil and debris, gently exfoliates, and helps keep pores clear, while allantoin and oat bran help prevent the dryness acne treatments can cause. Alcohol-free. Made for acne-prone, oily, and sun-damaged skin. 195 ml.
THE SCIENCE
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that works inside the pore, loosening the oil and dead skin cells that cause clogs and breakouts.
Acne ingredients can over-dry skin, which can lead to even more oil. Allantoin is a gentle moisturizer that helps soothe and soften, oat bran extract is naturally rich in beta glucan for hydration, and papaya fruit extract adds a gentle enzyme polish for smoother, brighter-looking skin.
HOW TO USE
Use once or twice a day (AM and PM) after cleansing. Apply with a cotton pad to your face and neck. Repeat with a fresh pad until little or no dirt shows. Follow with serum and moisturizer.
Good to know: Salicylic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear sunscreen every day. If dryness or peeling occurs, use it once a day and add a moisturizer.

I love this product. I have used it for years and years. My face feels refreshed after using it. Recently they changed the formula and the toner has a different smell to it. I do not like the smell and I hate that I can smell it on my face for quite some time after. However, I like the product so much that I will continue to use it and just hope I get used to the smell.

I absolutely love this toner! I have oily and acne prone skin and I find that other toners with salicylic acid are so drying that it almost can make my skin worse, but not with this toner! This one does not dry out my skin at all and it feels so refreshing on the skin. I also love the minty feeling it leaves on my skin after putting it on! Seriously the best toner I have used (and I have tried many different medical/clinical grade brands)

Developed in a dermatology clinic. Not a lab you've never heard of.
Revoderm formulas are created by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ken Alanen and cosmetic laser clinician Ildikó Juhász at Derm.ca, a leading dermatology clinic in Calgary, Alberta. They're the same medical-grade formulas our clinicians reach for in-clinic — developed beside real patients, real procedures, and real results, not focus-grouped in a vacuum.
When your skincare comes from a working Calgary dermatology practice with 20+ years of experience and 120,000+ patients treated, "dermatologist-developed" isn't a marketing line. It's where the product was born.
