A BHA toner designed to give you clearer, calmer skin – without the side effects.
Cloud Water uses 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to gently exfoliate both on the surface of the skin and inside the pores, helping to dissolve excess sebum, unclog congestion and prevent new breakouts from forming. But unlike traditional BHA toners, it doesn’t stop there.
Formulated with encapsulated salicylic acid and a calming, barrier-supporting blend of centella, green tea and licorice root, Cloud Water helps reduce visible redness, support the skin barrier and keep skin balanced over time – not stripped.
The result? Skin that feels clearer, calmer and more comfortable — from the very first swipe.
WHY WE LOVE IT (and you will too)
Clear skin, without side effect - Unlike many BHA toners that can leave skin dry or irritated, Cloud Water is designed to be both effective and gentle, making it ideal even for sensitive or reactive skin.
Gently unclogs pores and helps prevent breakouts - 2% salicylic acid works deep inside the pores to dissolve excess oil and buildup, helping reduce blackheads, congestion and future breakouts, without drying your skin.
Calms redness while it works - With centella, licorice root and green tea, Cloud Water actively soothes irritation and helps visibly reduce redness.
Encapsulated BHA = less irritation, same results - Next-generation encapsulated salicylic acid is released gradually into the skin, helping maximise results while minimising the risk of irritation.
Our next-generation encapsulated salicylic acid is released gradually into the skin, helping maximise results while minimising the risk of irritation.
Supports - not disrupts - your skin barrier - Hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid help keep skin balanced, soft and resilient.
No residue, no tight feeling - Sinks in within seconds with zero oily film, meaning you can pop on a pimple patch straight after.
✔️ Blemish-prone and acne-prone skin
✔️ Oily skin
✔️ Clogged pores and blackheads
✔️ Redness-prone skin
✔️ Dull, uneven skin texture
✔️ Post-blemish marks
✔️ Sensitive skin that can’t tolerate harsh exfoliants
After cleansing, sweep a cotton pad over face, neck and chest – or gently press into skin with your hands.
Start with 2–3 times per week if you’re new to exfoliating acids or have sensitive skin, then increase to your skin’s sweet spot.
Don’t rinse. Follow with moisturiser.
PRO TIP!
Avoid using Cloud Water in the same routine as other exfoliating acids, retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Alternate between routines if needed.
2% BHA (Salicylic Acid) - The gold-standard pore clearer. Dissolves excess oil, unclogs pores and helps keep breakouts in check. Encapsulated for a slower, gentler release – delivering results without the usual irritation.
Centella Asiatica - The ultimate calm-down ingredient. Known for soothing redness, strengthening the skin barrier and bringing stressed skin back into zen.
Green tea - A skin-protecting antioxidant that helps calm inflammation and defend against everyday stressors.

FAQs Cloud Water
Cloud Water is a toner/essence-hybrid that is used as the first step after cleansing, before applying serum(s) and moisturiser.
Many of our customers use Cloud Water daily, but just as many find that 2–3 times/week gives the best results. We also have customers who only use Cloud Water once a week. Skin and skincare is super-individual, and you’ll have to try your way to your skin’s ”sweet spot”!
However, if you’re a newbie to exfoliating actives, such as salicylic acid, or have very sensitive skin, about 2 times a week is a good place to start. Then you can increase to the level that makes your skin feel on top of the world!
Yes, our products are made to work in synergy with each other. You can combine Cloud Water with all Common Clouds products, but if you are very sensitive or unaccustomed to active skincare, we recommend splitting Cloud Water (which contains BHA-acid) and Moon Balm (which contains a low level of retinol) into separate routines, such as morning and evening, at least initially. Otherwise, you’re free to mix and match!
If you've started to develop pimples, blackheads or oily skin, Cloud Water is the ideal product to adress common skin problems that come with the hormonal rollercoaster of puberty. Salicylic acid is a well-studied ingredient with proven positive effects on acne-prone skin of all ages, but it's important not to use it too often. You don’t want to risk over-exfoliating your skin, which can lead to other skin problems. Start by using Cloud Water 2 times a week, and gradually increase as needed (maximum once a day!).
Yes, it is! Salicylic acid is a natural anti-inflammatory, but some people may still find that formulas with salicylic acid irritates their skin. In Cloud Water, we used next-generation encapsulated salicylic acid, which virtually eliminates the risk of irritation because it’s ”drip-feeded” into skin in a controlled dose. Encapsulated salicylic acid also allows the toner to maintain a skin-neutral pH. Cloud Water also contains several soothing, redness-controlling ingredients that reduces irritation, as well as moisturising ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. If you have sensitive skin but still want to enjoy the magic of BHA acid, Cloud Water is a must!
The small amounts of salicylic acid used in cosmetic products are considered safe. There’s a low concentration (2%) in the product, and you only use it on a small area of skin (the face) and it’s a topical product (e.g you don’t eat it), so most likely it’s fine to use Cloud Water a few times a week. However, as mothers ourselves we know the terror of the 3 am googling, so if you’re the worrying kind, we recommend to use Cloud Milk, which is made with azelaic acid, instead. Already used it? Don’t worry! There’s nothing that indicates that using cosmetics with salicylic acid poses any risk.
No, all Common Cloud products are free from perfume and added fragrances.
