Any questions?
Our experts answer you
Clarins offers a range of high-performance, plant-powered skin toners tailored to every skin type and concern. Formulated with the power of plants and enriched with our innovative Microbiota Complex, each face toner helps to preserve the healthy balance of your skin's flora.
What does toner do?
After cleansing, toner is the crucial next step of your skincare regimen to effectively ‘take the day’ off your skin. Face toner rebalance skin after cleansing and prepare the skin for a serum and/or moisturiser.
How do I use a facial toner?
Once you have thoroughly cleansed your face with a high-quality cleansing milk, apply toner by a cotton pad, ensuring you avoid the eye area, which is particularly delicate. You can also use your fingers to gently tap your toner in after cleansing with a cleanser. This is an easy way of boosting the effectiveness of any serum, face oil, or moisturiser you apply. It’s a key part of any complete skincare routine.
When should I start using a face toner?
It's never too early to start treating your skin to the best. Our range of skin toner is packed full of goodness extracted from plants and fruit for young skin looking to get a head start! After cleansing, put the skin toner on right away to rebalance the skin's pH, ensuring the skin is prepped to absorb the beneficial ingredients in your serum and moisturiser more effectively.
Is toner good for ageing skin?
Yes, toner can be very beneficial for ageing or mature skin, provided you choose a modern, well-formulated product with the right ingredients. Mature skin tends to lose moisture. Toner containing humectants like Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin help bind moisture to the skin, which can visibly plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Try our Purifying Toning Lotion, which is enriched with witch hazel extract and glycerin to purify skin and minimize the appearance of pores.
If you want a more concentrated solution, look no further than our treatment essence range. Consider our Super Restorative Treatment Essence, which helps visibly smooth and replenish skin affected by hormonal changes.
What is the best toner, and what toner should I choose?
Choosing the best cleanser actually depends on your skin's unique needs:
• For Oily/Combination Skin: The Purifying Toning Lotion with meadowsweet and saffron flower extracts works to tighten pores for combination and oily skin types, thanks to its toning and purifying properties.
• For Dry Skin: Choose a hydrating toner like the Hydrating Toning Lotion to help boost moisture retention. This is the ultimate choice for beautiful, soft and fresh skin.
• For Sensitive Skin: Our Soothing Toning Lotion is rich in organic chamomile extract, chosen specifically to soothe and soften skin. It’s suitable for very dry or sensitive skin.
• For Dull/Uneven Tone Skin: If your skin lacks radiance and has dark spots, look for a toner that contains glycolic or lactic acid (AHA), Vitamin C, or niacinamide. We offer Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Milky Essence, a toning lotion formulated with two brightening superfruit extracts, combined with powerful plant extracts and a vitamin C derivative. It visibly brightens and helps to improve the look of dark spots.
