WHY USE A TONER FOR ACNE...

TREATING ADULT ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Toners are an important piece of most acne skincare systems. A toner does several things: lowers the skin's pH (if it's an acidic cleanser) and removes any residual cleanser or superficial oil. All of these things help prepare the skin for better product penetration. The "actives" that you put on following your toner will sink deeper into the skin and be more beneficial. Your toner should leave your skin feeling clean and fresh, not hot and tight.


"Actives" refer to products that contain "active" ingredients. These are the ingredients that do the job your product says it will do. Actives give you results! Glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic, kojic and tretinoic acids are an example of some of the actives used in acne products.

Don't over use your toner. There is no need to drench the cotton round. Enough toner to cover 1/3 of a cotton round will do the trick!
