The right toner for oily skin controls excess sebum, refines pores, and preps skin for the rest of your routine. Here are the best ingredients and how to choose.
Best Toner Ingredients for Oily Skin
- Salicylic acid (BHA): Oil-soluble acid that clears pores and prevents breakouts.
- Niacinamide: Regulates oil and minimises pore appearance.
- Witch hazel: Natural astringent that tightens pores and controls shine.
- Glycolic acid (AHA): Exfoliates surface cells for a smoother, clearer complexion.
What to Avoid
- Alcohol-heavy toners that dry skin and trigger rebound oiliness.
- Heavy, oil-based formulas that clog pores.
- Fragrance, which can irritate oily, acne-prone skin.
How to Use
- Apply after cleansing with a cotton pad or clean hands.
- Let it absorb before serum and moisturizer.
- Finish each morning with sunscreen.
