Hi,
I am acne prone skin and I'm thinking of using the 2% BHA Toner but I'm allergic to ibuprofen which exist in aspirin... and therefore I am allergic to aspirin...
I'm jus wondering if there is any chance I can use this product or I can't at all?

Since I don't know what the actual trigger is for aspirin or ibuprofen allergy, I would avoid it. They call your allergy a Salycilate Allergy, and from what I have gathered in my reading, and it can be triggered by any salycilate derrivative. And the ingredient in our BHA Toner is a salycilic acid derrivative, one componenet of aspirin.
