Olay Cleanse Refresh & Glow Cleansing Toner, All Skin Types, 200 ml

Product Information

Alcohol isn’t bad in all toners, but if you have sensitive skin, steer clear, as it can be way too harsh and drying. Look for formulas made with nourishing, balancing, and calming ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, and rosewater. The Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner contains all three and comes highly recommended by dermatologists (it's also affordable and available at your nearest drugstore). There are also a variety of rosewater sprays on the market.

Retinol is truly a multi-tasking ingredient. According to a publication in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging, retinol can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. Toners have a reputation of being pointless and excessively drying, but they’ve come along way. Here’s a look at what they can do and how to choose… READ MORE Since matrikines have the ability to increase the production of collagen, elastin, and other macromolecules in the ECM, synthetic peptides like palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 have been created to mimic these effects. Pollution, oil production, and makeup can all shift your skin’s natural pH (roughly 5.5), adjusting the skin’s moisture levels and sometimes even leading to long-term environmental damages. Toners mimic your skin’s natural pH to rebalance it for a healthy finish. This Olay body wash uses sugar to gently massage away dead skin cells, providing a light exfoliation that helps to reveal radiant skin.

All the beauty gurus out there blessed with sensitive skin, we're right there with you. If your skin is ever itchy, inflamed, and stressed out, then you know how annoying it can be to deal with. So, to save ourselves from future skin agony, we should be cautious about the toners in our beauty arsenal. For instance, a publication in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, states that niacinamide can repair the skin barrier and improve skin moisture, as well as reduce inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, excess sebum, and wrinkling. Any sort of lotion-like toner is great for dry skin, but this one is extra-hydrating thanks to key ingredients like honey, sweet almond oil, and hyaluronic acid. While the hyaluronic acid and oil deliver extra moisture, the honey calms any irritation. These ingredients add moisture to the skin while balancing the skin’s tone,” he explains. Oily skin Proactiv Revitalizing Toner is an alcohol-free toner and contains botanical extracts that gently exfoliates which is great for sensitive skin," says cosmetic dermatologist Cindy Yoon-Soo Bae, MD. Given that it contains glycolic acid to slowly exfoliate and soften the skin, it makes sense why she likes it so much.When it comes to your daily skin care routine, you probably have your main steps down: cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF.

Alcohol is the reason that toners have gotten a bad reputation through the years,” says Dr. Corey L. Hartman, a board certified dermatologist and the founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama. “Alcohol is a harsh astringent that causes excessive dryness and triggers rebound oil production. If it makes your skin feel too tight after use, then move on to another product.” Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Serum overcomes the issues that the Night Moisturizer has thanks to its opaque plastic bottle with a dropper dispenser that protects retinol from exposure to light and air. In general, both toners and astringents are designed to manage key issues at the skin surface, such as oiliness and irritation,” Dr. Ava Shamban, a board-certified dermatologist, tells Byrdie. Astringents are usually alcohol-based, which can help dry up excess oil but also irritate the skin. Because they’re typically water-based, toners tend to be less harsh and include hydrating ingredients like rose water, flower essence, or hyaluronic acid. Cindy Yoon-Soo Bae, MD is a board-certified dermatologistat the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. She has made several media appearances over the years, including being featured in Byrdie.This oil-free anti-aging facial moisturizer has the same key ingredients as many of the other Olay moisturizers we’ve discussed. Those ingredients include glycerin, niacinamide, dimethicone, panthenol, and vitamins C and E. Sound familiar? Retinol is touted as the “gold standard” skincare ingredient. It’s in Regenerist Retinol24 Serum . We recommend looking at this retinoid oil serum . It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, a new generation retinoid. There’s quite a few good ingredients in this body wash, such as niacinamide and vitamin C, but once again these work best with leave-on products.
