Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin, this product offers excellent hydration with glycerin and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil, which balance moisture without adding excess oil.
  • While it provides general skincare benefits, the ingredients are not specifically targeted to address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your acne-prone skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

How to apply

  • Use your hydrating toner in your AM and PM routine. Start 3x a week and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the eye area .

Questions and answers

What makes LANEIGE Cream Skin Toner a great fit for acne-prone skin?

LANEIGE Cream Skin Toner is a great fit for your acne-prone skin because it offers excellent hydration with glycerin and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil, which balance moisture without adding excess oil. It is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for acne-prone skin?

Glycerin and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil make this toner a great fit by providing balanced hydration without leaving your face oily. Additionally, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract helps soothe acne-prone skin with a very low risk of irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

What does Glycerin do for acne-prone skin?

Glycerin helps keep acne-prone skin hydrated and calm without clogging pores or feeling heavy. It supports the skin barrier so it stays soft and smooth while handling everyday treatments.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008International Journal of Toxicology, 2019

What does Meadowfoam Seed Oil do for acne-prone skin?

Meadowfoam seed oil helps keep acne-prone skin feeling soft and balanced without leaving it greasy, as its light texture locks in moisture easily. Because it closely matches your skin's natural oils, it is unlikely to clog pores and helps calm dryness. Acne-prone skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and non-pore-clogging plant oils to stay smooth and clear.

Where does it go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This hydrating toner fits into both your morning and weekly routines as the second step right after cleansing. It is unlikely to irritate your acne-prone skin because it avoids harsh ingredients and includes soothing Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

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

You can use this toner with retinol by applying it right before your retinol treatment in your evening routine to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Using a gentle, barrier-supporting moisturizer helps reduce undesirable skin irritations while you use acne treatments.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2016The Journal of Dermatology, 2014

How often should I use it?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine as a step after cleansing and before your moisturizer. It is very unlikely to irritate acne-prone skin, as it contains soothing green tea extract and lacks harsh ingredients.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This toner is a great fit for your skin because glycerin and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil balance moisture without adding excess oil, and it is unlikely to cause irritation thanks to soothing Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. However, it is not specifically targeted to address breakouts, and some reviewers do mention that it can cause breakouts.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
