..... What is toner?

Question

What is toner? Is it a good product to have?

I have some pimples on my forehead and I was wondering if toner would just clog them up and make them worse.

What are some good brands of toner that I could buy?

Answer 1

I think of toner as basically an alcohol free astringent. It's very gentle and cleans up any makeup that your cleanser might have missed. I really like L'oreal Hydrafresh toner.

Answer 2

Toner would cover up pimples very well. Toner just helps if you have uneven skin tones. If you want to cover up pimples then get concealer and foundation.

Answer 3

Here is the best short and sweet answer ever--

Toner- Removes facial oils, usually applicated with a cottonball, is liquid, prevents pimples

Answer 4

Toner is a lotion that cleanses the skin, by removing the dirt and oil. While it is a great product, it is best used with a acne wash first, then the toner.

Proactive has a great one, as does Neutrogena.

Answer 5

toner is a liquid [yes a liquid, not a cream] that you put on before moisturizer, and after cleansing. it takes off all of the residue that is left from the cleanser. nivea makes a good one.
