Facial toners are the bridge step between cleansing and treatments. They balance the skin's pH, prepare the epidermis to better absorb subsequent serums and creams, and deliver the first actives of your routine.

Types of toners by goal

• Hydrating: for dry and dehydrated skin.
• Chemical exfoliants: with AHAs and BHAs, for oily skin with enlarged pores.
• Soothing: thermal water and botanical extracts, perfect for sensitive skin.
• Korean-style essences: denser texture and a higher concentration of actives.

How to apply a toner correctly

After facial cleansing, apply the toner with your hands (gently patting it in to help it penetrate) or with a reusable cotton pad. Do not rinse off. Then continue with your serum and moisturizer.

When you'll see results

Hydrating toners deliver immediate results (plumper, more luminous skin from the very first use). Chemical exfoliants need 2-4 weeks to reveal a more refined texture and less visible pores. Consistency is key.
