Ranking of tonics - the best tonic of 2024

Facial toners are an important part of your daily facial care routine. The use of a toner is not essential, but they are invaluable after every facial cleanse and offer many benefits, especially for skin that is irritated, dry, exposed to acids, retinoids or extreme temperatures. Not only do they restore the skin to the correct pH (in the range of around 4.5 to 6), but they also perform many other functions. Nowadays, most toners have additional properties, such as exfoliating dead skin, regenerating, moisturising or cleansing. In our overview, we take a look at the most popular facial toners that are highly regarded and find out which one worked best.

UDDO Tonic with tsubaki oil and rose water is a true rejuvenating elixir that won the hearts of our testers right from the start! 💖 Uddo Tonic not only takes excellent care of different skin types, but also proves to be an excellent support for acne-prone skin. Natural damask rose hydrolate has an antioxidant effect, tones the skin and has cleansing properties. As much as 95% of the ingredients in the formula come from nature! 🌱 Uddo's toner not only effectively cleanses the complexion, but also gives it a radiant appearance. Rose water, known for its regenerative properties, forms the base of the tonic. It refreshes the skin, stimulates skin renewal and evens out skin tone. Damask rose has anti-inflammatory properties, strengthens blood vessels, regulates sebaceous glands and helps reduce scars 🌹 . Enriched with tsubaki oil, which has been used in traditional Japanese skincare rituals for centuries, the formula cleanses, regenerates, moisturises, soothes and protects the skin. The aloe vera contained in the composition additionally soothes irritations. This makes the Uddo toner also suitable for sensitive skin, as our testers unanimously confirmed 😊. The price is not the lowest, but in comparison with the quality and effectiveness of the action - it is definitely justified, especially since Uddo tonic is very efficient. It's a great choice for those looking for natural skincare solutions 😍.

The Dermedic Normacne Preventi tonic is a product that was very positively evaluated by our testers. This tonic effectively cleanses and regulates oily and acne-prone skin 🙂 . Thanks to the innovative Acnacidol™ complex, it has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, resulting in a reduction in the number of active sebaceous glands and a reduction in excessive sebum secretion. In addition, the birch sap contained in the toner soothes irritation and the glycerine keeps the skin hydrated, preventing excessive dryness. The toner is gentle and non-irritating, even for those with sensitive skin 👍. However, it is not very effective in removing make-up and may not be effective enough in this regard 🤔. It should also be noted that tests have shown that Dermedic toner can cause dryness of the skin in the eye area and contain unnecessary pigments 😬. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Dermedic Normacne Preventi toner is, in the opinion of our testers, a good one and deserves second place in our ranking.

Benefits

Dermedic, Normacne Preventi, tonik

  • cleanses well
  • normalises the complexion
  • does not contain alcohol

Disadvantages

Dermedic, Normacne Preventi, tonik

  • does not always cope with make-up
  • pore constriction is too fine
  • unnecessary colouring in the formulation

The Ordinary is a brand known for its very popular bloody scrub, but it also offers other interesting cosmetics 😉 . The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is recommended for those looking for an acid toner to help exfoliate dead skin, even skin tone and normalise sebaceous glands, thanks to the presence of glycolic acid in the formulation. Our testers praised the presence of Tasmanian pepper leaf extract, which soothes irritation caused by the presence of glycolic acid 👍. This toner by The Ordinary is free of alcohol, silicones, oils and is suitable for vegans. Unfortunately, according to our testers, this is not a product for everyone. Some of them who have sensitive skin experienced irritation 😞. Due to the high concentration of the acid, it can cause irritation and dry out the skin, so it is not suitable for people with sensitive skin and the price is quite high 💰. However, if your skin tolerates acid well, The Ordinary's toner may live up to the hype, but it is worth exercising some caution.

Benefits

The Ordinary, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, tonik peelingujący

  • cleanses well
  • additional exfoliation of the epidermis
  • performance

Disadvantages

The Ordinary, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, tonik peelingujący

  • very high price
  • requires the use of sunscreen
  • may irritate
  • may be drying
  • availability

The Tołpa Dermo Face Sebio cosmetics line is designed for people struggling with skin imperfections. The manufacturer promises effective action on skin problems such as excess sebum secretion, impurities and imperfections 💪i. Tolpa 3 enzymes tonic has a normalising and astringent effect. Its action is based on the eponymous three enzymes, these are papain, bromelain and keratolin. The evaluations of our testers were mixed 🤔. On the one hand, the acne-relieving effect, the fragrance and the texture were praised. Unfortunately, problems were also reported, mainly a pinching, burning sensation and, to make matters worse, there were isolated cases of aggravation of acne problems 😬. Considering the price, it's quite a good value option, but it's good to see how our skin will react first.

Benefits

Tolpa, Dermo Face, Sebio, tonic 3 enzymes

  • affordable price
  • pleasant fragrance
  • good consistency

Disadvantages

Tolpa, Dermo Face, Sebio, tonic 3 enzymes

La Roche-Posay Effaclare facial toner is a cosmetic that, at first, seemed promising due to claims about its efficacy for oily and imperfection-prone skin. The brand itself also belongs to the premium segment. The blend of active ingredients helps to reduce pore size and prevents clogging. It effectively regulates sebum secretion, cleanses the skin and has a soothing and antioxidant effect 👍. The composition of the toner includes La Roche-Posay thermal water, glycerine and salicylic acid. At first, our testers noticed their skin becoming more even and firm 🙂 . Unfortunately, most of them quickly developed irritation 👎. The high price of the product and the presence of alcohol, which can be irritating to the skin, meant that the rapture was out of the question 🧪. Additionally, the La Roche-Posay toner can dry out the skin too much, which further contributes to irritation. Considering the price and the brand, we were definitely expecting better results 😓.

Benefits

La Roche-Posay, Effaclar, tonik

  • effective cleaning
  • tightens pores
  • works on oily skin

Disadvantages

La Roche-Posay, Effaclar, tonik

  • contains alcohol
  • may cause irritation
  • leaves a strong feeling of tightened skin
  • very high price
