Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for oily skin as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract provides antioxidant activity and mild astringent properties to help balance sebum production. Glycerin and Butylene Glycol offer moderate hydration, though they lack specialization for controlling oily shine.
  • The inclusion of Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil contributes to moisturizing benefits, aligning with the need for hydration without being overly occlusive for oily skin.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Use your hydrating toner in your AM and PM routine every day to keep skin fresh.
  • Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.

Questions and answers

How well does LANEIGE Cream Skin Toner work for oily skin?

This toner works adequately for oily skin, as it helps balance shine and provides light moisture without clogging pores. However, because it lacks specialized oil-controlling agents, oily skin often needs ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract, and oil-balancing components for optimal results.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for oily skin?

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract helps balance sebum production with mild astringent properties, while Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil provide moderate hydration that is not overly heavy. However, oily skin also needs specialized oil-controlling agents and ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate or Centella Asiatica Extract to manage shine best.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.

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

What does Meadowfoam Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Meadowfoam seed oil helps lock in moisture without feeling heavy, making it a good fit for keeping oily skin balanced and soft. Because oily skin still needs proper hydration, this oil is unlikely to clog pores while helping to keep your face smooth.

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

This toner goes right after cleansing in your morning routine, and after your cleansing mask during your weekly routine. It helps give your skin moderate hydration without adding extra oil, though oily skin often does better with ingredients that specifically help keep shine under control.

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

You can use this hydrating toner before your retinol treatment because its soothing components and lack of harsh ingredients help keep your skin calm without adding heavy heaviness. Oily skin using retinol also needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients and targeted shine-control to truly thrive.

How often should I use this toner?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer. It is safe for oily skin and unlikely to cause irritation, though oily skin also needs ingredients to control shine.

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

This toner works for oily skin, though some reviewers complain that it causes breakouts. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that help balance oil without heavy oils that can clog pores.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2019

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
