All about toners in Korean skincare

Introduction to toners

Toners are an essential part of Korean skincare and help to balance the skin after cleansing and prepare it for subsequent skincare products. Toners remove the last residues of cleansing products and prepare the skin to better absorb the active ingredients of serums and moisturizers. Depending on the formulation, they can have a hydrating, soothing or clarifying effect.

What exactly is a toner and why is it important?

A toner is a liquid skin care product that is applied after cleansing to refresh and rebalance the skin. Toners help to soothe and hydrate the skin and refine the pores. They prepare the skin optimally for the absorption of moisturizers and other care products. A good toner, such as the soothing toner, can balance the pH value of the skin and reduce inflammation.

What are the different types of toners?

There are a variety of toners to suit different skin types and needs:

• Hydrating toners: These toners contain moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin. One example is the moisturizing toner.
• Clearing toners: They contain ingredients such as AHA, BHA or PHA, which help to exfoliate the skin and prevent acne. One popular product is the AHA-BHA-PHA toner.
• Soothing toners: These toners contain soothing ingredients such as Centella Asiatica and are ideal for sensitive skin. One example is the Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner.

How to choose the right toner for your skin type

Choosing the right toner depends on your skin type and your specific skin needs. Here are some tips for choosing:

• For oily skin: Use a clarifying toner with ingredients like salicylic acid to control excess oil and refine pores. A good example is the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid.
• For dry skin: Choose a hydrating toner with hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin. A suitable product is the Hyaluronic Acid Toner.
• For sensitive skin: Look for a soothing toner with ingredients like centella asiatica or chamomile to soothe redness and irritation. The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner is an excellent choice.
