When I think of toner, I think of my college days when I used to burn my skin using harsh, alcohol-based astringent ingredients. This is why I was hesitant to use a toner with any type of acids. But after using this Some by Mi toner, I’ve noticed how effective it is at gently exfoliating while not stripping my face. This Korean toner pad is noncomedogenic (meaning it won’t clog pores) and has alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), which are great for textured or acne-prone skin. You might be thinking, that’s a lot of acids, but the formula is very gentle thanks to the natural ingredients like willow bark water and tea tree leaf water, which help calm and soothe the face.
“Whenever I feel like my face needs a deeper cleanse, I reach for these toner pads. I notice I’m less oily when I keep them on rotation. The scent is subtle and herbal. I never feel like my face is raw or irritated after using, and it helps clear my clogged pores.” —J.C.
