Our expert verdict

In our experience, the secret to this toner is picking the right number; matched to your skin, it refreshes and evens the surface. Honestly though, the stronger formulas contain alcohol and can be harsh on dry skin — before buying, be sure to match the number to your actual skin type.

How to use

Morning and night after washing, pour a small amount onto a cotton pad and gently sweep over the face; avoid the eye area.
