The Best Acid Toners To Boost Your Radiance

The Best Acid Toners To Boost Your Radiance
Toners are usually one of the first products that get culled when you're in the process of Marie Kondo-ing your routine. Acid toners, or exfoliating treatments as they're also called, are a step apart from your run-of-the-mill formulas though. Incorporating the plumping, smoothing and refining powers of the likes of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids, you won't regret adding one of these liquid powerhouses into your evening routine…
01

Chantecaille

Purifying and Exfoliating Phytoactive Solution, £78

Best For Rebalancing Oiliness
Chantecaille’s latest skincare offering is a must-have for anyone who’s looking for help when it comes to oily T-zones. The balance of AHAs, BHAs and PHAs alongside botanical microbiota extracts ensures that your skin is gently exfoliated and sebum production is regulated without causing dryness or sensitivity.

Medik8

Press & Glow Daily Exfoliating PHA Tonic with Enzyme Activator, £9

Best For Smoothing Dry Skin
Whether you have naturally dry skin or the combination of cold weather and central heating has taken its toll, this gentle exfoliating treatment will smooth out roughness in what feels like seconds. The clever balance of gluconolactone (a gentle polyhydroxy acid) ensures your skin is exfoliated and hydrated, so you don’t have to fret about exacerbating the dryness.

Kiehl's

Daily Refining Milk-Peel Toner, £56

Best For Sensitive Skin Types
If you’re apprehensive about using acid-based products full stop, this gentle formula is the best place to start. While there is salicylic acid to tackle pores and lactic acid (one of the gentlest AHAs) to slough away dead skin, there’s also almond milk and glycerine to soothe and calm. Introduce it into your routine twice a week in the evening and follow up with a nourishing moisturising – we love Kate Somerville’s DeliKate range.

Paula's Choice

Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, £35

Best For Minimising Breakouts
From hormonal breakouts to stubborn blackheads, this salicylic acid infused treatment gives pores a deep clean and rebalances oiliness. While it won’t eradiate a blemish instantly, it will set you off on a path to clearer, smoother skin moving forwards. We’ve been using it on the skin under and where our mask touches our face to help ease maskne.
