Caitlyn Martyn is an experienced writer in the beauty industry and product tester specializing in cosmetics. She has been a writer at Byrdie since 2022, where she covers all things beauty. She has tried several toners, including some on this list from brands like Tower28, Farmacy, Holifrog, Neutrogena, and more. Mini SuperTone Toner is recommended for normal, dry, oily, and combination skin. Mini SuperTone Toner is not recommended for sensitive skin. Kim Kardashian knows a thing or two about good skin. While she definitely calls upon the help of pro estheticians and dermatologists from time to time, her skincare line helps set her skin up for success. The SKKN by Kim Toner is perhaps one of the most popular products in the product range because of how effective it is (and how aesthetic it looks in any vanity). Developed with fruit enzymes, witch hazel, niacinamide, and salicylic acid, the toner doubles down on exfoliation and produces an all-over glow. Our tester can attest to that. She shared that her skin felt “tremendously more hydrated” and that she could tell an immediate difference in the areas where she did not apply the toner compared to the ones where she did. For skin that feels hydrated, smooth, and refreshed, look to the Fresh Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner. While some toners are loaded with ingredients that exfoliate and increase cell turnover, this one actually gives the skin a rush of moisture instead. Formulated with, you guessed it, rosewater and hyaluronic acid (two ingredients known to boost hydration and nourish skin), those with normal, dry, combination, and oily skin will benefit tenfold from adding the dreamy formula to their routine. Our tester was a fan, sharing that her skin felt hydrated and relaxed. She especially appreciated the fact there wasn’t a tingling sensation (many toners she’s tried made her feel irritated), and her pores felt like they could breathe. The 8.4 fl. oz. bottle is available for under 50 dollars, which some might find expensive. But, given the size, you can expect it to last a while (especially compared to some options on this list). e.l.f. clean means we go above and beyond EU Cosmetic Regulation and FDA requirements by voluntarily removing more than the required 1,600 ingredients.
The clear, lightweight solution is slightly runny and comes out of a small aperture at the top of the frosted bottle, so be aware that if you aren’t careful, you can potentially pour too much product out of the opening.Because the vessel is glass that resembles a perfume bottle more than a toner, you can’t exactly squeeze anything out. You have to gently (and steadily) pour the bottle into your hand or onto a cotton pad in small amounts, or else you’ll risk spilling some. To get the most out of your toner, it’s recommended to apply it after cleansing. Whether your skin is sensitive and looking for soothing benefits, acne-prone and needing excess oil removal, or dry and thirsting for more moisture, the right toner can target concerns and treat them accordingly. With so much to love, there is one con: The toner comes out of the bottle really slowly. Normally, that would be a good thing, but because our tester admitted she had to use “quite a bit of muscle” to get the toner out of the bottle (thank you, small dispenser head), it’s less than ideal.
What is it: A non-irritating, non-drying face toner that nourishes and moisturizes for a softer, smoother-looking complexion. Finding the best toner for your skin concerns can be a game-changer, especially if your end goal is dewy, luminous skin. For the unfamiliar, a toner is designed to help remove the debris that your cleanser or face wash might have missed and to prep your skin for the next step in your routine. "I think of them more as an adjunct or add-on to your skin-care routine," says Rhode Island-based board-certified dermatologist Tiffany Libby, MD. Improve and smooth your complexion with e.l.f. Skin’s gentle Pure Skin Toner, formulated for daily use on all skin types (even sensitive skin!). Infused with soothing, skin-loving ingredients like Oat Milk, Niacinamide, and Ceramides, this non-irritating face toner gently exfoliates, nourishes, and protects the skin’s barrier, promoting smooth, even, healthy-looking skin. Formulated without fragrance, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free, and vegan. As seen on TikTok, the Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence from Fenty Beauty is totally worth the hype. Between the unique bottle (product dispenses from a twist top) and super milky consistency, there’s no wonder people are obsessed with this product. According to our tester, the toner absorbs into the skin really well. After three minutes, she noted that the toner sunk in completely and that her skin looked really calm. And, best of all, thanks to the hydrating ingredients, she said that she could feel the difference deep in her pores. Since nothing is perfect, there’s one thing we wish we could change: The smell. While it’s not scented, our tester shared that it has a subtle smell to it that she wasn’t a fan of. If you can get past that, it’s totally worth every penny.With all that goodness in one bottle, you’ll want to savor every last drop. Thankfully, the spray bottle ensures that there’s no mess, spillage, or accidental use of too much product. Our lab tester loved having the option of applying the toner either to a cotton pad or directly to her face. The watery, lightweight toner comes out of the bottle with ease, and it “soaks into skin within seconds,” she says, noting that her skin felt “more hydrated, glowy, and fresh” after use. Even though the formula has a water-like consistency and comes in a spray bottle, it can take a bit more effort than the average toner. It took our tester about five pumps to adequately saturate the cotton round. The right toner can go a long way to control excess shine for those with oily skin types, and this one fits the bill. It combines oil-dissolving salicylic acid, exfoliating papaya enzyme, and purifying moringa seed extract to unclog pores and refresh greasy skin. In addition, chlorella, a natural ingredient rich in antioxidants, helps nourish and soothe the skin to prevent irritation and overdrying. Our tester was impressed by how lightweight the formula felt on her skin, noting that she almost forgot she had it on. She was also pleased that the product didn’t cause a tingling sensation. Just keep in mind that since the toner contains active exfoliants, you may want to skip it on days when you’ll be applying retinoids and other active ingredients to avoid overdoing it (i.e., redness, burning, and dehydrating the skin).
