Toner recs, please

[pooh8402]

And I think no acids. I've been using Pixi's Glow Tonic for a while, and I like it well enough, but I'm already using 2 other acids (TO's lactic acid 5% and azelaic acid). I had been alternating the Pixi toner and the TO LA as my step after cleansing at night, before serums.

I was thinking something more soothing yet also gets off the last of the makeup that my cleanser always seems to leave behind. Like a rose water toner? At least for winter.

Eta: my skin is combination, and dehydrated but TO is fixing that. My skin concerns are brightening and anti-aging (light wrinkles) but I'm also TTC.

I love the Paula's Choice RESIST toner. Antioxidants and skin-soothing ingredients. I can't speak to removing traces of makeup, since my skin does better when I don't use cotton so I press it into my face instead.

I like the Klairs supple skin toner

I alternate rose water with TO glycolic toner. I like this one: www.amazon.com/Alteya-Organic-Bulgarian-Water-Harvest/dp/B001JHZ6W0/ref=pd_nav_hcs_bia_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S97Q4KNSCMCWG1710N62

Me too but it's not there to remove makeup (you shouldn't need anything other than the 2 step cleaning method - oil and foam/micellar). It's great for getting a boost of moisture into the skin. I put it in my palms and pat on my face versus using cotton.

I like Thayers Natural (Whole Foods). I'm using the lavender one now, but they have a rose water formula too. I use it in the AM and then use TO Glycolic at night.

Another vote for Thayers Natural. Love that stuff.

[pooh8402]

I don't have a Whole Foods anywhere close to me. :/

[bowies]

If you want kind of a micellar water/toner combo, get the Son & Park Beauty Water. It’s at Sephora but online retailers often have a better price.

ETA: Even the full price isn’t bad since the bottle is huge.

I use the Nip/Fab glycolic pads. They do pick up any stray makeup too. I cut them in half to make them last longer.

Agreed.

another creamy toner like this is Miss Flower and Mr. Honey toner.

Another vote for Paula's Choice RESIST toner.

This is another great one. That bottle lasted me forever.

A friend gave me a sample bottle of this stuff last month and I really enjoyed it, but I'm so confused about how it works as a multi-purpose product.

I’ve seen demos online where they will use it with a cotton pad to remove the last bits of makeup, with their hands as a toner, and then with a peeled-apart cotton pad as a mask (drench the one layer of cotton in the liquid, then smooth it on the face). There’s a certain kind of cotton pad that’s made to be peeled but it’s not sold in American drugstores.

That's a bummer! They are so ubiquitous here that I forget they aren't really all over TX. Theyers is really common, though, so check your grocery store if you want to try it and don't want to order. SaveSave

pooh8402, you can also find the Thayers stuff at Marshall's/TJMaxx.

Thayers is everywhere, I get mine from Amazon but I’ve seen it in Publix and any crunchy granola groceries.

[orangello]

I get my Thayers from Target. Love it!

[pooh8402]

Looks like Thayers is popular! I'll be on the lookout!
