When it comes to remedying dry and dehydrated skin, you are unlikely to think of toner, but you should be treating skin issues that go beyond acne and oiliness because its applications are varied. In reality, adding that one additional step in your skin care routine can make a real and noticeable difference in skin moisture. This is, if you use the correct formula.
There's now a whole host of new toners out there offering all kinds of various skin care benefits like hydration, you know it. Because there are so many toners out there, the trick is to look for formulations that are alcohol-free first and foremost, because alcohol can be extremely dry, particularly for dry skin. Next, look for the added hydrating ingredients, stuffs like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, rosewater, and aloe are all great options widely used.

Not only is this crowd-favorite alcohol-free, but for toning purposes it often uses gentle rose fruit extract, rather than some of the more astringent ingredients used in other formulations. Rosewater and rose flower oil on the hydrating side of things (there are also actual rose petals in the bottle!) sooth and nourish, while hyaluronic acid even lifts some strong hydration. So much so that it improved hydration for six hours after application by an incredible 46 per cent, according to the findings of a clinical report.
This latest hydrating alternative, infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, originates from one of the OG toner brands. Not only is it alcohol-free, it also contains no sulfates, soaps, or dyes (all things that may possibly intensify dryness as well). Plus, Dickinson's proprietary natural witch hazel plants are distilled for purity in all their products, and not processed like some of the other witch hazel out there, to help ensure optimum potency and effectiveness.
You should feel pretty darn comfortable when a company has been around since 1847 that they are doing it right. Case in point: This version of the original alcohol-free witch hazel toner containing calming vitamin E, aloe vera and grapefruit seed extract to make it extra soft on dry skin. Also, it has all the toning advantages of a conventional witch hazel formula.
This formulation is enjoyed by both dry, extra-dry and sensitive skin types alike. Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, thanks to the introduction of hot spring water and natural silicates the water-based toner / lotion combination is exceptional.
Technically, this is more a lotion than a toner — but no, not the kind of lotion you're talking about. These lotions originated in Asia; also known as essences, find them a slightly more viscous toner, which can be used interchangeably and in the same way. Lotions are a especially good choice for sensitive skin, as they can contain even more hydrating ingredients.
