Balance and Prep Your Skin with Toner
Toner is designed to support your skin after cleansing, helping to hydrate, refresh, and prepare it for the next steps in your routine. While older formulas focused on “rebalancing pH,” modern toners are more about delivering lightweight hydration or targeted ingredients depending on your skin’s needs. At ARC, our toner category includes options from 23 brands like The Ordinary, TirTir, Dermalogica, Fenty Skin, and COSRX.
Hydrating vs Exfoliating Toners
Hydrating toners are designed to add a layer of lightweight moisture, often using ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or soothing extracts. These are ideal for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin types, or for anyone looking to layer hydration into their routine. TirTir Milk Skin Toner is known for its milky texture and hydrating finish.
Where Toner Fits in Your Routine
Toner is typically applied after cleansing and before serums or moisturisers. It can be used with a cotton pad to sweep over the skin or pressed in with your hands, depending on the formula and your preference. Spray formats, like Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner or Age Smart Antioxidant Hydramist, offer a quick and even application. Hydrating options like Fenty Skin Fat Water Dew N Plump can add a boost of moisture and glow, while COSRX toners are often used to target specific concerns like hydration or soothing.
