A weak match for mature skin; the cleansing toners alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Suitable for normal skin as witch hazel extract provides astringent and anti-inflammatory actions to decongest pores.
- While it offers general skincare benefits like pore minimizing, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address your wrinkles and fine lines.

## Key ingredients

Distilled Witch Hazel, Alcohol Grain, Witch Hazel Extract

## What the research says

- A Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract increased LOXL1 expression twofold, decreased elafin synthesis, restored functional elastic fibers, reduced nonfunctional elastin aggregates, decreased wrinkles, and improved skin firmness. ([Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30052192/))
- Hamamelis bark proanthocyanidins strongly increased the proliferation of cultured human keratinocytes and reduced transepidermal water loss and erythema formation in SLS-irritated skin, whereas the polysaccharide fraction had no effect. ([Phytochemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11684194/))
- Witch hazel bark extract and hamamelitannin showed pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, supported keratinocyte migration in a wound healing assay, and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth, whereas their skin microbiota metabolite ellagic acid stimulated inflammatory mediator release. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40819781/))
- Topical cyproterone acetate alcohol lotion at 0.5% and 1% reduced total acne lesions and acne severity index significantly more than placebo in female patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris. ([Dermatology Online Journal, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16638440/))
- Topical patchouli alcohol significantly accelerated the recovery of UV-induced skin lesions in mice through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions and down-regulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression compared to vehicle. ([European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25033712/))

## Why other cleansing toners fit mature skin better

- Daily application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate-containing skin products for 12 months significantly and cumulatively reversed 11-year facial skin aging parameters of wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, and roughness, and increased skin hydration in 86 female volunteers. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36769815/))
- Capryloyl salicylic acid peel reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation comparably to glycolic acid peel in 44 female volunteers, with no statistically significant differences between the two treatments. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19146601/))

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users with oily and acne-prone skin frequently praise this toner for its ability to deep clean pores and control excess oil, often noting a reduction in breakouts and a "squeaky clean" feeling.

Sources: [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36012541/)

### What does alcohol do for mature skin?

Alcohol in skincare products can dry out mature skin, leading to increased roughness and a compromised skin barrier over time. This type of skin needs gentle, hydrating ingredients like ceramides and glycerin to lock in moisture and keep the skin feeling soft and smooth.

### Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This toner goes in your evening routine after cleansing and before your treatment and moisturizer. Because this is a weak match for mature skin, a product of this type needs moisturizing and firming ingredients to help smooth fine lines and keep skin soft.

### Can I use this toner with niacinamide, and in what order?

You can use this toner with niacinamide by applying this toner first and letting it dry before you put on your niacinamide product. Mature skin needs hydrating ingredients and antioxidants like hyaluronic acid and peptides to help smooth out fine lines.

### How often should I use this toner?

This cleansing toner is a weak match for mature skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to address fine lines and wrinkles. Mature skin needs hydrating ingredients and nourishing elements to keep it soft and smooth.

### Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This toner is unlikely to clog pores since it helps decongest them, but it may have a drying effect on mature skin. Because it lacks specialized ingredients for lines and wrinkles, mature skin needs a product with rich hydrators and firming ingredients to stay smooth and soft.
