Each of us have our own morning and night-time skin-cleansing rituals, but by adding a toner step, you can dramatically improve your skin’s resilience and tone.
If you haven’t used one before, or if you’re looking for a new toner, here’s my list of the best toners you’d love:
1. DDF Glycolic 10% Toning Complex
Price: $35 at sephora.com
This no-nonsense toner is formulated for normal to oily skin. It removes excess oil (which can cause acne) and has glycolic acid to refresh your skin. A great basic toner!
2. Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2
Price: $20 at sephora.com
This clarifying lotion (another name for toner) also exfoliates skin. This is step 2 in Clinique’s three-step skin-case process. It’s fragrance free and allergy tested, so it won’t irritate even the most sensitive skin.
3. Perricone MD Firming Facial Toner
Price: $38 at sephora.com
This toner won’t over-dry your skin! It also helps maintain your natural pH balance, and removes impurities. Use it to refine your skin’s natural texture.
4. Caudalie Beauty Elixir
Price: $49 at sephora.com
This toner will smooth your skin and minimize your pores. It also claims that it promotes microcirculation for increased radiance… That’s what my friend says, but I’ll have to try this one and see myself!
5. Murad Clarifying Toner
Price: $22 at sephora.com
This toner fights oil and helps balance your skin tone. Eliminate those pesky blemishes and shiny spots!
6. Murad Hydrating Toner
Price: $24 at sephora.com
This toner is a little more gentle for skin that’s not so oily. It provides a soothing combination of chamomile and cucumber to hydrate and improve skin tone.
great picks, the only ive tried in the list is the clarins one. i need to use my toner daily!

Great article really :) I see that Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 which is my favorite is on position number 2. I’m using it for years now, and I have the big bottle with pump which is kind of hard to find. I all the time tried to buy it from the duty free shops or cosmetic outlets I payed like 25-30 eur max for 400 ml :)
Thanks for the tips Jen,
I can’t live without my toner ;)
I tried Dr Murad products, as well as their treatments and they r simply great!Their cleansing treatments r just superb! My skin is radiant after just one treatment and pores invisible ;))))

Thanks for your tips :)
Most of those toners have a lot of alcohol and thats a big NO for skin, its irritating and will cause aging for any skin type.
