sidmool BHA Blackhead Clear Toner

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-25

What is this product?

A 200 ml leave-on BHA toner from Korean brand sidmool, sold for blackheads, whiteheads and pores. The 11-entry list is water, mineral water and Chamaecyparis Obtusa water with green tea leaf, Portulaca Oleracea, Scutellaria Baicalensis root and Paeonia Suffruticosa root extracts, glycerin, butylene glycol, arginine and salicylic acid printed at 0.5 percent. The brand prints a pH of about 3.8, names an acne-prone skin suitability test by an outside lab for this toner, and warns against use in pregnancy and against combining it with other exfoliants. There is no fragrance entry and no colourant entry.

What makes it different?

A very short eleven-entry formula built on three waters with salicylic acid printed at 0.5 percent and a printed acidic pH, backed by a named acne-prone skin suitability test on this toner.

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.

Key ingredient

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

We could not place these in the list above: 살리실릭애씨드
