Toners & Essences

Although they may seem similar, a toner is more liquid than an essence, and they serve different functions. A toner is the last step in your cleansing routine. It hydrates and soothes the skin, and improves the absorption of the cosmetics you apply afterward.

Thicker in texture, an essence is a booster for your skincare routine. It provides your skin with other active ingredients, such as rejuvenating or regulating agents. An essence also enhances the effectiveness of the rest of your products.

A toner helps to refresh, hydrate, and restore a sense of comfort after using a cleanser, preventing dryness and tightness.

An essence has added value compared to a toner. As well as hydrating and soothing, it contains a higher percentage of active ingredients. It acts as a pre-serum treatment, preparing the skin to better absorb the active agents.

Because it has a watery texture, facial toner is usually a spray applied to the face, neck, and décolleté. It can also be applied using cotton pads or reusable makeup remover pads. Apply it morning and night after your cleanser or exfoliant, and wait for it to be fully absorbed before continuing with your beauty routine.

Use it morning and night after the toner and before the serum. Apply 2-3 pumps into the palm of your hand and spread over the face, neck, and décolleté until fully absorbed.

Sensitive skin is prone to discomfort and irritation, and requires gentle cleansing, so it needs a very mild, non-astringent toner.
