Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin, with sodium hyaluronate and glycerin providing humectant benefits, though it lacks specialized ingredients to target acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The inclusion of alcohol and mushroom extract offers potential astringent and seboregulation properties beneficial for oily skin.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin feels fine.
  • Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏱absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
  • Applying the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin helps your face absorb it better. This keeps your oily skin balanced and hydrated.
  • Be sure to avoid the eye area when applying. Do a patch test before your first use to check for any reaction.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users with dry and dehydrated skin highly praise this toner for its viscous, serum-like consistency that provides deep, long-lasting moisture, often saving "winter-ravaged" skin and repairing the moisture barrier. While it is generally effective for soothing irritation, some users with oily or sensitive skin find it slightly heavy or sticky if not layered correctly.

Questions and answers

How well does Mediheal N.M.F Intensive Hydrating Toner work for oily acne-prone skin?

Mediheal N.M.F Intensive Hydrating Toner works reasonably well for your oily acne-prone skin, offering moderate hydration and seboregulation, though it lacks specialized ingredients to target blemishes and breakouts. A product of this type needs lightweight, non-comedogenic ingredients that target acne and blemishes while providing balanced hydration without irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, alcohol, and mushroom extract make this toner a reasonable fit by providing moderate hydration and balancing oil. However, this skin type needs products that include specialized ingredients to target acne, blemishes, and breakouts, along with multiple hydrating agents and soothing peptides.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What do Natural Moisturizing Factors do for oily acne-prone skin?

Natural Moisturizing Factors help keep oily acne-prone skin hydrated without adding heavy oils. They support water retention and preserve barrier function, though this skin type also needs gentle ingredients that balance oil and keep pores clear.

Molecules, 2021Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2024

What does Tremella Fuciformis Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Tremella fuciformis extract helps keep oily acne-prone skin calm and protected by reducing stress on skin cells and supporting healing. However, because this product does not balance oil or clear pores, oily acne-prone skin typically needs lightweight formulas with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to stay clear.

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

This toner goes right after your cleanser in the morning and evening, or after your cleansing mask during your weekly routine. It provides moderate hydration and a safe formula for oily skin, but an oily acne-prone skin needs specialized blemish-fighting ingredients to work best.

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your oily acne-prone skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation. A toner for this skin needs ingredients to target acne, blemishes, and breakouts.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
