Powered by the Super Six Acid Blend, a highly potent blend of skin-exfoliating AHAs, BHA and PHA and activated charcoal, the shake-to-activate formula applies clear as it gets to work refining the look of pores for a clarified complexion. Best for oily and combination skin types; suitable for acne-prone skin." $42 for 6.7 fl oz.

Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. This #supertoner is definitely jam packed with acids as it says though I am wonder where the PHAs are? (Polyhydroxy acids are the cousins of AHAs but really only act on the surface of the skin instead of deeper like AHAs) There is a good amount of buffering systems in place so as to not cause burns but one with sensitive skin (like myself) might see peeling, redness, or irritation.
