DIXIONIST Amino Acid Toner

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-06

What is this product?

Dixionist's Amino Acid Toner is a real exfoliating toner wearing a hydration name, so treat it as an acid step and not as a daily amino acid layer. Its 19 ingredients carry salicylic acid tenth and capryloyl salicylic acid eleventh, an oil soluble BHA and LHA pair the marketing never names, while the only AHA behind the 3 percent Bio AHA line is a citric acid buffered by sodium citrate. Good for oily and congested skin two or three nights a week with sunscreen the next morning, and one to route past a clinician during pregnancy.

What makes it different?

Dixionist publishes percentages, 11 percent amino acid solution, 3 percent Bio AHA and 2 percent niacinamide, and none of them can be checked against the label: no free amino acid appears at any of the 19 positions, and the only entry with an amino acid in its name is polyglutamic acid at position 9, a polymer rather than a free amino acid. The four acid amounts that would matter most are all undisclosed, and the brand publishes no pH, which is what a citric acid and sodium citrate buffer at 14 and 15 exists to hold. Its skin smoothing claim of 100 percent of users in 7 days comes with no panel size, institution, date or report.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 2 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
