What is SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner?
SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner is an alcohol-free balancing toner used after cleansing to remove the last traces of dirt, debris and residue. It is formulated with a blend of hydroxy acids (glycolic, citric, malic, tartaric and lactic) that gently exfoliates dead surface cells, while botanical extracts of witch hazel, rosemary, aloe and chamomile soften and soothe. SkinCeuticals states that it helps restore the skin's protective pH mantle. It is suitable for normal, oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin. Twice daily, pour a small amount onto a cotton ball and smooth over face, neck and chest. Available at SkinCrew in 200 ml ($38).

The problem
Cleansing does not always leave skin ready for what comes next. Tap water, cleanser film and leftover makeup can sit on the surface, and many toners made to deal with that are alcohol-heavy astringents that leave the face tight and dry. People with dry or sensitive skin often give up on toner altogether and miss the gentle exfoliation and fresh feel a good one provides.
Balance and light exfoliation, without alcohol.
Equalizing Toner clears residue and refreshes skin with no alcohol in the formula. A mix of fruit-derived hydroxy acids lifts dull, dead surface cells gently, and aloe, chamomile, witch hazel and rosemary extracts soften and soothe as it works. SkinCeuticals describes it as helping to restore the skin's protective pH mantle, which leaves the face prepared for the serums that follow.

SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner: alcohol-free balance with gentle hydroxy acid exfoliation
SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner is the second half of the cleanse-and-tone step in a SkinCeuticals routine. Swept over the skin with a cotton ball, it removes excess dirt, debris and residue that cleansing leaves behind, and its mixed hydroxy acids gently exfoliate dull, dead cells on the surface so skin looks fresher and feels smoother, all in an alcohol-free base.
Calming botanicals do the rest: aloe for a cool, refreshed feel, witch hazel for its skin-softening properties, and chamomile and rosemary to soothe and balance. SkinCeuticals lists the toner as alcohol-free, dye-free and gluten-free, and as a complement to professional procedures and at-home skincare for every skin type, including sensitive. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Equalizing Toner Stands Out
- No alcohol. Equalizing Toner refreshes and removes residue without alcohol, so it does not leave the tight, stripped feel associated with traditional astringent toners.
- Five hydroxy acids, used gently. Glycolic, citric, malic, tartaric and lactic acids exfoliate dull, dead cells on the skin's surface. SkinCeuticals notes that the blend helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and promotes a more even-looking skin tone.
- Calming botanicals in the same step. Witch hazel, rosemary, aloe and chamomile extracts soften, soothe and balance, which is why this toner is recommended across skin types, including dry and sensitive.
- Supports the skin's pH mantle. SkinCeuticals formulates Equalizing Toner to help balance, refresh and restore the skin's protective pH mantle after cleansing, before antioxidant and corrective serums go on.

| Skin types | Normal, oily, combination, dry, sensitive | Mostly oily skin | Mostly dry skin |

- Skin that looks dull or feels coated after cleansing
Tolerance and skin type

SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner do?
Equalizing Toner removes excess dirt, debris and residue after cleansing, gently exfoliates dead surface cells with a blend of hydroxy acids, and helps balance and restore the skin's protective pH mantle. Witch hazel, rosemary, aloe and chamomile extracts soften and soothe the skin at the same time.
How do you use Equalizing Toner?
Use it twice daily after a SkinCeuticals cleanser. Pour a small amount onto a cotton ball and smooth it over the face, neck and chest. Do not rinse. In the morning follow with a vitamin C serum and sunscreen, and in the evening with a corrective product or moisturizer.
Is SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner alcohol-free?
Yes. SkinCeuticals describes Equalizing Toner as an alcohol-free toner, and no alcohol appears in the ingredient list. It refreshes with botanical extracts and a mild hydroxy acid blend instead, which is why it is recommended for dry and sensitive skin as well as normal, oily and combination skin.
Does Equalizing Toner exfoliate?
Yes, gently. It contains mixed hydroxy acids, glycolic, citric, malic, tartaric and lactic, that exfoliate dull, dead cells on the skin's surface. SkinCeuticals does not publish a percentage for the blend, and positions the toner for twice-daily use rather than as a strong acid treatment.
What is the difference between Equalizing Toner and LHA Toner?
Equalizing Toner is an alcohol-free, botanical toner with a gentle fruit acid blend for all skin types, including dry and sensitive. LHA Toner combines lipo hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid at a low pH to decongest pores, and SkinCeuticals recommends it for oily and combination skin, not dry skin.
Is Equalizing Toner good for sensitive skin?
SkinCeuticals lists Equalizing Toner as suitable for sensitive skin and includes calming chamomile, aloe, witch hazel and rosemary extracts. Because it does contain hydroxy acids, introduce it gradually if your skin is reactive, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
What should I apply after Equalizing Toner?
In the morning, SkinCeuticals advises following with a vitamin C antioxidant serum such as C E Ferulic and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. In the evening, follow with a corrective product and a moisturizer. The toner should be the step between cleansing and your first serum.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer and sources every unit directly from SkinCeuticals, so Equalizing Toner arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
