Toner

A Korean toner is a thin, watery step that goes on after cleansing to hydrate and prepare skin for the products that follow, rather than a harsh astringent. This collection includes hydrating toners and toner pads, plus a few soothing toners, face gels and a face mist.

Brands include SKIN1004, Pyunkang Yul, Isntree, SOME BY MI, Numbuzin, TIAM, Su:m37 and Needly. Examples are the Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, the Numbuzin No. 3 Super Glowing Essence Toner, the illiyoon Ceramide Ato Gentle Skin Toner, the Hanyul Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Toner, the Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Toner and the Torriden Balanceful Cica Toner Pad.

Pick a hydrating or milky toner if your skin is dry, a watery calming toner if it looks red, and pads when you want a quick swipe. Pat the toner in with clean hands rather than rubbing. New to the layers? See how toner, essence, serum and ampoule differ.
