Look Instantly Better With the 10 Best Men’s Toners To Buy Now

Since the launch of Fenty Skin and its highly sought-after toner, ‘Fat Water,” toners have received a resurgence in popularity. Long thought of as an unnecessary or luxury skincare item, facial toners have always been a key to any well-balanced skincare regimen. A great toner will complement any facial cleanser and moisturizer, designed to restore pH balance, shrink the appearance of pores, and refresh skin.

You may be asking, why do I need a toner? I’m already using a facial cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturizer. Think of a facial toner as your skincare regimen’s appetizer formulated to prepare your skin for moisturizer and serums and acne treatments. Toners can also be extremely useful for men who suffer from acne as they help clear out pores, allowing your skin to absorb more product.

The key to finding the most effective toner is to find one that is designed for your skin’s needs. If you suffer from acne-prone skin, look for a toner with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. If you’re looking for more radiant skin, opt for a toner with glycolic acid that helps exfoliate dead skin cells for more vibrant skin, and if you suffer from dry skin, choose a hydrating toner.

The search for the perfect toners can be daunting; that’s why we’ve rounded up the best toners for men at every price point no matter your skin needs.
