Finally, our 'skin care junkie' wrote: "A s good as market leader. Love this products , having spent a fortune on a well known tonic I thought I'd give these a try on recommendation from my daughter.

Cleansers do not always remove all the dirt and oils from your face and sometimes they can leave behind a residue. A toner will remove all these remaining impurities and leave your face feeling clean and refreshed.

While exfoliating acids work by dissolving the surface layers of the skin, triggering the production of new cells from deeper layers to replace those lost, retinol instead binds itself to receptors within the skin cells, revving up the production of new cells so much so that the top layer sheds to reveal brighter, healthier skin. These days acids come in just about every skincare form, from cleanser to toner, serum and moisturiser. So what's the safe limit for how many AHA/BHA products you can use in one go? Which products should you not use during the day or at night?

Caitlyn Martyn is an experienced writer in the beauty industry and product tester specializing in cosmetics. She has been a writer at Byrdie since 2022, where she covers all things beauty. She has tried several toners, including some on this list from brands like Tower28, Farmacy, Holifrog, Neutrogena, and more. The most common way to apply toner to your face is through the use of a cotton ball or pad. To apply, moisten the cotton pad with a few drops of the toner so that it is damp, but not soaked. Begin with the centre of your face and gently sweep the cotton pad outward, avoiding the lips and delicate eye area.

Praise for the product continued: "I mpressed", wrote one shopper, adding: "Terrific value and easily competes with much more expensive brands." Another said: "This is another great toner from Aldi, I have used previous ones and they are all very good, this one smells like it would be from an expensive brand."Lauded for its anti-inflammatory properties, green tea can help reduce skin irritation, redness, and swelling—making it a great option for those looking to calm down angry red skin. Innisfree’s Green Tea Facial Toner captures the balancing powers of green tea leaves in a liquid formula that feels “extremely light and gentle” on the skin. According to our tester, the toner sank into her pores immediately after application and made a huge difference in the appearance of her hormonal acne breakouts. She admitted that any redness went down significantly and even noticed that a budding pimple “decreased significantly.” What’s more, she even claimed that the product single-handedly reduced the look of her acne in about three minutes. description":"So, if you’ve ever wondered what glycolic acid could mean for your skincare routine, read on and discover more about beauty’s best love molecule." While it's not an absolute rule not to do so, many people would find using the two at once far too irritating. 'I would avoid using multiple products with irritant properties at the same time,' explains Dr Kluk. 'An example of this would be avoiding the application of AHAs, such as glycolic acid, and retinol or any of the prescription retinoid creams together. Many people can't even tolerate using these on the same day, so my advice would be to choose one or the other unless advised otherwise by a dermatologist.' While retinol is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this doesn’t mean it’s free from side effects.

The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 10(8), 49–55. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5605215/ Unless you have symptoms of acne, It is best to avoid astringents and instead opt for gentler bracers and tonics, especially if you experience dry or sensitive skin. How to Apply Toner Toner works best when it’s not too harsh on your skin. Using a toner that contains alcohol or other harsh ingredients can cause irritation and dryness. Look for toners that are free of irritants and preferably contain hydrating agents that soothe and refresh your skin. https://www.uwhealth.org/madison-plastic-surgery/q-is-there-a-difference-between-tretinoin-retin-a-and-retinol/36588 Toners should not be used as a replacement for your cleanser. While they are able to remove impurities from the skin, they are most effective when used as a follow up to your cleanser. Sensitive skinIf you’re new to retinol, it’s important to start slowly and build up your tolerance. This means using it only a few times a week at first and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin adjusts. In the past, toners were harsh astringents. Now, they are ways to cleanse the skin," explains board-certified dermatologist Ife Rodney, MD, FAAD, of Eternal Dermatology and Aesthetics. "These are water-based formulas that contain any combination of acids, antioxidants, and other effective, natural ingredients. Toners benefit the skin as a way to deliver low concentrations of these ingredients to the skin while balancing the pH. They also help in hydrating the skin and removing dead skin cells left behind after washing and cleansing your face. Some people use a toner as part of their makeup routine, cleaning the face before any further products are applied." It can “treat fine lines, boost collagen production, and brighten and smooth the skin,” he says. It’s suited to anyone with a normal to dry skin type. If you are using a toner with a high concentration of exfoliantes such as glycolic acid, it may only be necessary to use the product once a day. Overuse of exfoliants can cause irritation and dryness for all skin types, but especially for those prone to dryness or sensitivity. Do’s and Don’ts of Toner Use When it comes to retinol, it’s important to start slowly and build up your tolerance. This means using it only a few times a week at first and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin adjusts. Toner, on the other hand, should be used twice a day to remove any leftover traces of makeup or dirt on your skin.

Do not use toners containing alcohol or high concentrations of exfoliating ingredients as an under-eye mask, since the skin in this area is particularly delicate. When to Use TonerKim Kardashian knows a thing or two about good skin. While she definitely calls upon the help of pro estheticians and dermatologists from time to time, her skincare line helps set her skin up for success. The SKKN by Kim Toner is perhaps one of the most popular products in the product range because of how effective it is (and how aesthetic it looks in any vanity). Developed with fruit enzymes, witch hazel, niacinamide, and salicylic acid, the toner doubles down on exfoliation and produces an all-over glow. Our tester can attest to that. She shared that her skin felt “tremendously more hydrated” and that she could tell an immediate difference in the areas where she did not apply the toner compared to the ones where she did. As seen on TikTok, the Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence from Fenty Beauty is totally worth the hype. Between the unique bottle (product dispenses from a twist top) and super milky consistency, there’s no wonder people are obsessed with this product. According to our tester, the toner absorbs into the skin really well. After three minutes, she noted that the toner sunk in completely and that her skin looked really calm. And, best of all, thanks to the hydrating ingredients, she said that she could feel the difference deep in her pores. Since nothing is perfect, there’s one thing we wish we could change: The smell. While it’s not scented, our tester shared that it has a subtle smell to it that she wasn’t a fan of. If you can get past that, it’s totally worth every penny. Then apply a small, pea-sized amount of retinol to dry skin. Spread it over your face, avoiding your eyes and mouth.
