But what about age-old yet often mystifying toners? Are they an integral part of a cleansing routine, an optional add-on, or simply superfluous?\r\n\r\nTo better understand toner, its benefits, and best practices, we consulted Dr. Nancy Samolitis<\/a> of our go-to LA skincare haven, FACILE dermatology + boutique<\/a>.\r\n

For starters, what is toner?<\/h2>\r\nToner is a liquid solution used after cleansing to clear away traces of excess product and balance your skin’s pH level. Essentially, it gives your skin a clean slate so that it can better absorb products applied afterward. Dr. Samolitis prefers using a soft cotton pad for application, while others opt for gauze pads or directly use their hands (\u00e0 la Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski<\/a>).\r\n

What’s actually in it?<\/h2>\r\n“Traditional toners were largely alcohol<\/a> based, which could cause irritation and dryness. Many of them also contained witch hazel and\/or salicylic acid to clarify acne-prone skin<\/a>,” Dr. Samolitis explains. However, the market has experienced a recent renaissance of sorts, expanding to address additional skincare concerns. “Now there are many kinds of toners available, including those with micellar water, rose water, essential oils<\/a>, and emollients such as glycerin to provide more hydration,” she continues.\r\n\r\n\"Facial\r\n

Can you still use an exfoliating toner if your regimen includes other actives?<\/h2>\r\n“Toners can enhance the penetration of active ingredients by removing excess oil and skin debris prior to applying those actives,” says Dr. Samolitis. “Those with a combination of exfoliating acids<\/a> in light concentrations (glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid) are best for this purpose.”<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo avoid compromising your skin barrier<\/a>, slowly introduce new products and active ingredients. To play it safe, you can start by diluting a cotton pad with water before applying toner. You can also build up from a patch test to once weekly, every other day, daily, and twice daily based on your skin’s response.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAdditionally, if you use medical-grade topicals, you should rotate (rather than layer) exfoliating toner in your routine. For instance, tone in the morning and apply your Rx active at night\u2014or switch them out by the day. Of course, it’s always advised to consult your dermatologist to tailor your own unique regimen.<\/span>\r\n

What skin types should and shouldn’t use toner?<\/h2>\r\nDr. Samolitis says there’s no simple answer since skin types and concerns are unique to the individual. However, “toner is most beneficial for people who have very oily or acne-prone skin and need a bit of extra exfoliation<\/a> to clarify pores.” Conversely, “anyone with sensitive skin, eczema<\/a>, allergies<\/a>, rosacea, or dry skin<\/a> should be cautious of toners in general,” she says. Essentially, this latter group would fare better with hydrating and replenishing (vs. active and exfoliating) toners.\r\n

Best Toners for DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES<\/h2>\r\nIf you’d like to incorporate toner into your skincare regimen, be sure that it’s suited for your skin type. Here are a few recommended toners based on different skin types and concerns:\r\n\r\n\"Sunday\r\n

Oily Skin<\/h3>\r\nOily-skinned folk: Know that gels are your friend. Sunday Riley’s Martian Mattifying Melting Water-Gel Toner<\/a> cools and clarifies with potent oil-zapping powerhouses including bentonite clay<\/a> and witch hazel.\r\n\r\n\"Boscia\r\n

Acne-Prone Skin<\/h3>\r\nBoscia has been offering Japanese-inspired, preservative-free skincare products for nearly two decades. Their Resurfacing Treatment Toner<\/a> is great for acne-prone skin since it contains both salicylic acid to purify pores and glycolic acid to shed dead skin cells. Bonus: It also contains vitamin C-rich apple cider vinegar<\/a>, a solid source from which to get your collagen fix<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"Caudalie\r\n

Dry Skin<\/h3>\r\nCaudalie is a vine-to-visage<\/em> French skincare company that prizes plant-based and essential-oil formulations. The star ingredient in their Moisturizing Toner<\/a>, vinolevure, simultaneously hydrates dry skin while protecting your skin barrier.\r\n\r\n\"Dr.\r\n

Sensitive Skin<\/h3>\r\nHailing from Germany, Dr. Barbara Sturm is an aesthetic medical expert with a line of celeb-approved, cult-fave skincare products. With nurturing and replenishing ingredients including hyaluronic acid<\/a>, her Balancing Toner<\/a> is perfect for those seeking a non-irritating, lightweight option.\r\n

Simply put, is toner necessary or a nice to have?<\/h2>\r\nDr. Samolitis confirms that toner, in fact, isn’t<\/em> essential for most skin types. However, since different formulations can<\/em> help keep breakouts at bay<\/a>, prevent dehydrated skin<\/a>, and achieve a brightening glow<\/a>, you can still reach for your tonic of choice with confidence<\/a>.\n
