Toners

A Korean toner hydrates the skin and rebalances its pH after cleansing. Unlike older Western astringent toners it isn't designed to strip oil, so it leaves skin comfortable rather than tight.

Apply it to slightly damp skin straight after cleansing, either with your hands or on a cotton pad. Pat it in and follow with your serum and moisturizer while the skin is still damp.

Dry skin does best with hydrating toners containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin. Oily and congested skin benefits from exfoliating toners with BHA, while sensitive skin should look for centella or heartleaf.

Hydrating toners can be used morning and evening. Exfoliating toner pads are stronger, so start with two or three times a week and build up only if your skin stays comfortable.

A toner preps and hydrates immediately after cleansing, while an essence is a slightly more concentrated treatment step that follows it. Many routines use both, but a good hydrating toner is the more essential of the two.
