TONERS Round Up - My Current TOP 3 ❤️ | BOTTOM 3 👎 - Best Toners ( Skincare )

Sharing with you the best toners in skincare as part of our skincare round up series. The best hydrating toner, best brightening toner and best exfoliating toner (and some to avoid)

Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where in todays video we are continuing our skincare round up series, today focussing on toners. In this video I share with you the best toners and some skincare fails to avoid.

Toners come in many different forms and it can be confusing to tell the difference between toners, essences and mists for your skincare routine. In this video I break it doesn't for you and share with you my favourite toners in the following categories:

Best hydrating toners - the skincare toners which will bring back some bounce to the skin, minimise dryness and help keep the skin plump and hydrated

Best brightening toners - the skincare toners which will bring back some luminosity to the skin and a return of radiance to offset a dull complexion.

Best exfoliating toners - the skincare toners you need in your skincare routine if you would like a gentle but super effective exfoliation.

I would love to know what your experience has been with any of the products mentioned in todays video so please leave me a comment below.

Ugh I absolutely *love* toners and essences. I know they're not needed, but my dry and redness-prone skin loves them. These are a bunch of my favourites:
- when my skin is upset, sensitive: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence
- when my skin feels dehydrated: Rohto Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Lotion, Rovectin Skin Essentials Activating Treatment Lotion
- when my skin feels dry: I'm from Rice Toner, Laneige Cream Skin Refiner
- for exfoliation: By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water, Isntree Chestnut BHA 2% Clear Liquid (good alternative to the Paula's Choice one for me)
- basic all-rounders: By Wishtrend Quad Active Boosting Essence, Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner
I usually mix two of them, depending on what my skin's needs are that day. That TO glycolic acid though.. wow I've definitely ruined my face with that before. Since then I added a spray nozzle on top and use it on my body instead. Once I'm done with a few, I'm absolutely gonna check out the Beauty of Joseon, the iUNIK, and the Numbuzin one!

I recently added an essence/toner to my skincare routine. I was using The Ordinary's Amino Acids for hydration, and I thought this might be a great addition to it. When reading the reviews, one said that the product was " a big glass of water for the skin." I was sold!! I apply my toner on wet skin right after cleansing. I feel like my serums apply better, and my skin is much happier!!*(I'm using the Etude House Soon Jung Relief toner.)
Good for you, Rob, for continuing to take a stand against Mario Badescu. There is a moral line that this brand crossed, and they should not be able to continue selling products! Just look at the name, BAD, stands out to me!!

[solhan]

Thank you for advocating skincare as a marathon and not a race. I think almost all of us in the skincare community have overdone it on the exfoliants at some point (including myself!). Using lower concentrations on actives, consistency, and patience is 🔑

[browndoggle]

You can pry my toners out of my cold, dead hands! They’re probably my favorite part of my routine. They add so much hydration to my skin!

[evieabercrombie]

Considering my first ever toner many many years ago was SEA BREEZE ( if you know...you know!) I would say toners have come a long way since burning your face off!

[gioinlove]

I LOVE toners, they are a necessity for me. The Dr. Ceuracle kombucha essence toner was beyond nourishing, my skin feels amazing rot that product alone. You should definitely check it out. 🤩

[SkintitaApril]

My top 3 are:
- Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium (w/ tranexamic/ascorbic, moist version)
- Missha First Treatment Essence
- Cosrx Snail Mucin

These may not be purely "toners" but they're so good in delivering hydration and brightening! 💞

[shallentuch]

You are the skin care guru I tend to come back to time and time again, I trust your advice! I appreciate the time you take to explain and break everything down, you tell the truth and aren’t just here for hype, another added bonus is your wonderful personality! I could watch your videos forever!

[kristinjones]

Absolutely great video! I am a huge BOJ fan and the Numbuzin line is beautiful!! Especially no. 3 and no. 2 essences. Much love your way 💖

[MartiStLys]

Incorporating the by wishtrend mandelic acid toner to my skin care routine has been the single best thing ive done for my skin recently.. There actually was a massive change in the brightness of my complexion within the first week of using the product.
Absolute. Game. Changer!!!

[mikiriki]

And I hit that like button for the explanation you gave about Mario Badescu product! Personally, I don't use any of the mentioned products- I rather use the different Hada Labo toners (interchangeably) and find them work perfectly for my skin. But I do have immense respect for your values as an online creator and a brand owner👍Hope I'll soon be able to try some of the MAS products

It was great to hear your observations on Mario Badescu and CB. I could not agree more with you.

I think you deserve a medal re what you share on TO Glycolic toner:). I wish I have never mentioned to my mum this toner; her neck now is too sensitive to use even TO Lactic acid. Fortunately, my mum, like you, has great results from using lactic acid on her face.

The toners I am currently obsessed with are Round Lab - Mugwort Calming Toner, Round Lab Soybean Nourishing Toner, Bonajour Green Tea Water Bomb Toner, Dr. Ceuracle Kombucha Essence Toner and NIOD SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE SACCHARIDE MIST.

I LOVE toners, essences, and mist it's my favorite step. I have too many favorites to name them all but some are:
~Good Molecules niacinamide toner
~Good Molecules glycolic toner
~Cosrx ceramide mist
~Ample:n ceramide mist
~RNW ceramide mist
~Neogen probiotics youth repair mist ~Purito galacto niacin 97 power essence ~Make P:rem safe me relief essence toner
~Haruharu WONDER black rice hyaluronic toner
~The Ordinary glycolic toning solution but for my body

I have both of the Beauty of Joseon products plus the serums but have yet to try them. Plan on using them at the end of summer into the fall. I told my friend that 2023 will be a year of trying more toners and essences.

[baileydubs]

I hated TO glycolic for my face, but it works well on my legs!!!

[Delicious]

Toners are the backbone of my skincare routine. My toners I believe they are why my skin is smooth and even. I use The Ordinary glycolic acid once a month. No way would I use that everyday. Lactic acid messed my skin up. It was like my skin melted. Glad it works for you Rob!!

[oceanbird.]

This is my favorite category of products!

I love the make prem safe me toner! So hydrating and refreshing. It's more like an antioxidant than a toner, but I've really been loving the NIOD sod mist. I saw immediate hydration after recently adding it to my routine. Oh! And the gokujyun toner is amazing 😍 I love the premium version.
My HG is always the amorepacific vintage single extract essence for fermented ingredients! While it's expensive af, it also works like nothing else I've ever used and I will always have it as long as I can afford it. It's the perfect toner for my very sensitive rosacea skin. I always get it on sale.
Also I am very sensitive to exfoliation, but I tried the medik8 pha toner per your recommendation and it has been great! It really is super gentle if I can use it!
The cosrx and soon Jung toners are nice too! I've gotten my sister hooked on those. Plus the tiam vita b toner too, it has lots of nice ingredients and is a classic.

I loooove your standpoint on Mario Badescu. So many people nowadays brush over scandals in the celebrity, influencers and youtube world. Everyone can decide after an apology and seeing a change if they want to give a second chance. But why are we forgiving a brand that changed a little bit and thought "oh we dont need to apologize, people will forget it"

[Lunora]

I love products that serve multiple purposes to shorten my skincare routine! The BOJ essence is perfect for my oily/dehydrated skin. It's anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, helps control my oily skin, and has even reduced a little bit of redness after continuous use. On top of being moisturizing, it's also helped hydrate my dehydrated skin! My morning routine is literally this product followed by the BOJ sunscreen and my skin loves it :)

[Annagnocchi]

My favorites :
Fundamental mist, Klairs
Calm and earth sourced, Paula's Choice
Propolis synergy, Cosrx
Cicaplast spray, La Roche-posay
Miracle seed, Primera.
