The formula, explained.
The ingredients behind this formula—and what they bring to your skin.
5% glycolic acid
A higher level of the classic AHA than the original formula, for a more intensive exfoliation that smooths texture and helps unclog pores.
Salicylic acid
An oil-soluble BHA that works inside the pore to help clear buildup and balance excess oil.
Kojic acid and vitamin C
Kojic acid brightens and helps even out the look of tone, while a stable vitamin C adds antioxidant care.
Ingredient imagery is illustrative. Explore the full ingredient list below.

Biophora Bioactive Solution Extra Strength
Biophora’s stronger exfoliating toner with 5% glycolic acid, for oily, congestion-prone skin that already tolerates the original Bioactive Solution well. Morning and evening, or as your esthetician recommends.
The one we suggest once a client has outgrown the original: 5% glycolic acid gives a more intensive exfoliating and decongesting effect, while salicylic acid, kojic acid, vitamin C and eucalyptus oil help clear impurities, refine the look of pores and brighten the complexion. Skin looks smoother, clearer and more even, and is well prepared for the serums that follow.
Benefits
How to use
- Cleanse: Start with a cleanser suited to oily skin, and pat dry.
- Sweep on Extra Strength: Apply to the face and neck with a damp cotton pad, gradually using a less damp pad as your skin adjusts.
- Serum and moisturizer: Follow with your serums and a light moisturizer.
- SPF every morning: Glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen is essential.
Full Ingredient List
Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Ethoxydiglycol, Glycolic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Salicylic Acid, Kojic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Sodium Metabisulfite, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide
