Cleansers & Toners
Compare cleansing gels, cream cleansers, toners and mists for different skin-care routines. Check the intended application and ingredients, then choose a format that suits the cleansing step you want to change.
Cleansers & Toners
Rinse-off and leave-on products differ
A cleanser, toner and mist have different roles. Follow whether the selected product is rinsed off, wiped away or left on, and check any eye-area restrictions. Read the full ingredients rather than assuming every product described as gentle suits every skin type.
Can a toner replace a cleanser?
Use each item for the purpose stated on its label. A leave-on toner or mist is not automatically a substitute for a product intended to remove makeup or wash the skin.
How should I introduce a new formula?
Follow the application frequency and any patch-test guidance on the product. Stop using an item if irritation occurs and seek advice for persistent concerns. Avoid assuming several new products need to be introduced together.
