SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner

SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner is an alcohol-free AHA toner designed for normal to combination skin that needs gentle resurfacing and pH rebalancing. It’s intended to refine texture, help control shine in the T-zone and prepare skin for serums and moisturisers.

What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply toner with a cotton pad or palms, allow to absorb, then follow with serum and moisturiser. Finish with a broad‑spectrum SPF.
• PM: Cleanse, apply toner, then proceed with targeted treatments and night moisturiser.
• Use daily or as tolerated. Reduce frequency if you experience irritation when combining with other exfoliants or strong actives.

Why it works

• Alpha-hydroxy acids (fruit AHAs) — encourage gentle removal of dead surface cells to reveal smoother skin and improved tone.
• Aloe vera — provides calming, hydrating support to help reduce the sensation of tightness after cleansing.
• Witch hazel — a botanical astringent that can help reduce excess surface oil and soothe minor irritation.

What to expect

With regular use, many people notice improved surface texture and a fresher appearance within about 2–4 weeks. As with all exfoliating products, benefits build over time; continue use as tolerated and avoid over‑exfoliation.

Good to know

• Patch test before first use, especially if you are new to AHAs.
• Avoid combining with other strong chemical exfoliants or retinoids without guidance to reduce the risk of irritation.
• If pregnant, breastfeeding or under a dermatologist’s care, consult your healthcare professional before introducing new active products.
• Stop use and seek advice if persistent redness or irritation occurs.
