Hydrating Toner & Facial Toner

If your skin feels dry or tight after cleansing, look for a hydrating toner containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin. These hydrating ingredients help replenish moisture and leave skin feeling softer and refreshed. A milky toner or essence toner can provide an especially comfortable option for skin that needs additional nourishment. Explore our Lotions & Toners collection to find the right toner for your daily skincare routine.

Exfoliating Toner Options

An exfoliating toner may be suitable when dull skin, uneven texture, or clogged pores are your main concerns. Formulas containing alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or beta hydroxy acids such as salicylic acid can help exfoliate the surface of the skin. Because active ingredients may irritate sensitive skin, choose an acid toner carefully and follow product directions.

Shop by Skin Type & Need

Different skin types and concerns call for different toner formulas. Oily skin and combination may benefit from lightweight formulas with ingredients such as niacinamide or salicylic acid. Sensitive skin may prefer an alcohol-free toner with soothing ingredients, while dry or dull skin can benefit from hydrating formulas featuring hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

Choose According to Your Skincare Goals

If your goal is radiant skin and comfortable hydration, prioritize gentle, moisture-focused formulas. For acne-prone skin or visible pores, consider targeted active ingredients. If your skin barrier feels compromised, a simple, soothing toner may be preferable to strong exfoliating products.
