In the early 2000s, abrasive facial scrubs dominated the skincare market, leaving many hesitant to revisit exfoliation. However, advancements in skincare over the past decade have introduced a new era of chemical exfoliating toners. These products promise smoother, brighter skin without the harshness of traditional scrubs.
Dr. Rachel Westbay, a board-certified dermatologist at Marmur Medical, explains that exfoliating toners combine the benefits of a toner with exfoliating ingredients to remove dead skin cells and enhance skin texture. “They promote a smoother complexion, improve the absorption of other skincare products, and can address concerns such as dark spots and fine lines,” she notes.
ELLE’s exploration of top exfoliating toners for 2024 highlights a variety of formulations catering to different skin types. From Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, praised for its acne-fighting properties and soothing green tea infusion, to Biologique Recherche Lotion P50, renowned for its blend of AHAs, BHAs, and skin-balancing niacinamide, each product offers unique benefits tailored to specific skincare needs.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA +BHA Pore-Tight Toner are also featured, emphasizing glycolic acid’s exfoliating prowess and the hydrating capabilities of natural extracts like watermelon and cactus water.
For sensitive skin, Medik8 Press & Glow Daily Exfoliating PHA Tonic and Tatcha The Texture Tonic AHA Liquid Exfoliating Treatment provide gentle yet effective options, incorporating soothing ingredients like aloe vera and Japanese mugwort.
While exfoliating toners offer significant benefits, Dr. Westbay advises caution for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or eczema-affected skin types, recommending gentle formulations and infrequent use to avoid irritation.
ELLE’s insights, gathered from expert consultations and customer reviews, ensure a comprehensive guide to selecting the best exfoliating toners. Whether combating acne, addressing uneven skin tone, or smoothing texture, these products promise to rejuvenate and enhance skin health in 2024.
