A toner is a lightweight, water-like formula applied after cleansing and before the rest of your skincare routine. It helps to refresh and ‘prime’ the skin, creating the perfect base for serums, moisturisers, and SPF.
Toners provide multiple benefits depending on their formulation. They can remove any lingering makeup, dirt, or cleanser residue, rebalance your skin’s natural pH, deliver a boost of hydration, and enhance absorption of your next skincare steps.
There are two main categories of toners. Hydrating toners - including milky toners - are packed with nourishing ingredients like ceramides to help replenish moisture. Exfoliating toners contain skincare acids such as glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells and clear pores, helping to refine skin texture and promote a brighter complexion. Exfoliating gluconolactone and lactobionic acid.
After cleansing, apply your toner to a cotton pad or your hands and gently sweep or pat it onto your skin. Let it absorb for about a minute before continuing with serums, moisturiser, and SPF (if used in the morning). Most hydrating toners can be used daily, while exfoliating formulas should be introduced gradually (2–3 times per week) to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation.
Yes, toners are generally safe for all skin types, but the key is choosing the right one for your skin's needs. Pore-refining toners, often formulated with gentle exfoliating acids, help clarify oily or congested skin by removing residual impurities and minimising the look of pores. Barrier-repairing toners are ideal for dry or sensitive skin, using hydrating and soothing ingredients to replenish moisture and strengthen your skin's natural defences. Brightening toners, typically infused with vitamin C or niacinamide, target dullness and uneven tone for a more radiant complexion.
