Thanks to the recommendations of Caroline Hirons, two specific toners have become staples in my everyday skin care routine.
The two amazing toners are the Darphin Intral Toner and Clarins Gentle Renewing Brightening Peel.
Toners are usually the second stage of one's routine. Either rubbed on directly after cleansing or once your eye cream has been applied. Toners may spray onto your face or need to be poured onto a cotton swab and gently rubbed over the skin. Both of these mentioned toners are put onto my skin using a cotton swab.
Darphin's toner is targeted for people who have rosacea or persistent redness in their skin. Sooo of course I had to try it! I am not quite half way done with the bottle, but I do notice a difference when I use this toner persistently twice a day. The toner does not irritate my extremely temperamental sensitive skin whatsoever and reduces the bright red tones in my skin. The smell is absolutely lovely and causes no redness.
After using the Intral toner for some time I had very little redness remaining on my entire face. Overall, this toner works extremely well and will be repurchased by me for quite some time.
Secondly, is the Clarins Peel toner. Now, this toner serves a completely different purpose than the Darphin one. It aims to exfoliate the skin as well as even skin tone. It contains ingredients such as glycolic, salicylic, and tartaric acid which all actively exfoliate your skin. Chemical exfoliation is much better for people with sensitive skin than abrasive exfoliants that contain beads. I personally noticed a huge change in the texture of my skin whilst using this product. Before, I had rough patches on my cheeks, forehead, and nose but when I use this daily these areas are smoothed down and look much better in appearance.
My only concern or recommendation with this product is to not use it too often or twice daily if you have sensitive skin like me. I make sure to use it at most once a day or to skip this toner in my routine if I have been using it rather frequently. But, other than that I adore this Clarins peel/toner and would urge anyone looking to improve their skin's texture or tone to purchase this.
Darphin Toner comes in at at $42.00 for 6.7 FL Oz.
Clarins Toner slightly lower at $38.00, but you only get 4.2 FL Oz.
