I was looking for a BHA product and purposely bought the "sensitive skin" formula (0.5% salicylic acid) just to be safe even though I do not consider my skin sensitive *at all*. However, after just one night of using this as a toner on my face, I woke up with scaly/flaky skin. They weren't major flakes, but I could see them when looking closely in the mirror and it made my makeup look very uneven and dull. NOT cool. Must be the 36.5% alcohol content. Its only saving grace is that I can use it on my chest/back after working out with no problem.
