Toners & mists

The step straight after cleansing. A Korean toner is usually a watery layer of moisture rather than an astringent, and it helps the serum and cream after it spread more evenly. Pat it in with your hands. Essences are a little thicker; mists are for during the day.

  • Dehydrated skin: the Torriden DIVE IN toners, AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Hydro Essence and manyo Bifida Biome Ampoule Toner.
  • Sensitive or blemish-prone skin: Dr.G Red Blemish 10-Cica Capsule Soothing Toner.
  • Visible pores and rough texture: medicube Zero Pore Toner and manyo Galactomy Clearskin Toner. Both contain mild acids, so skip them on days you use another exfoliant.
  • Mists: Abib Heartleaf, d'Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum and medicube Pink Collagen, whenever skin feels dry.
