Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin, as Glycerin and Hydroxyethyl Urea provide humectant action, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients to fully address dryness.
  • The inclusion of Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Extract and Leaf Oil offers excellent soothing and pore care, which is beneficial for your dry or flaky skin.
  • The product is generally safe for your dry and sensitive skin, though the presence of alcohol and fragrance carries some risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • You can use this soothing toner AM and PM every day. Always pair with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply this soothing toner after your cleanser and before your moisturizer .
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin and let it absorb. Avoid rubbing.
  • Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help with absorption. This is great for dry skin.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers

How well does Nature Republic Tea Tree Pore Care Toner Pads work for dry sensitive skin?

This toner works reasonably well for dry and sensitive skin, as it brings soothing ingredients and mild moisture, though it carries some risk of irritation from fragrance and alcohol. Because it lacks enough rich moisturizing ingredients, dry skin of this type needs a formula loaded with rich softeners and deep hydrators to lock in moisture and keep the skin calm and comfortable.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for dry sensitive skin?

Glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea, and sodium hyaluronate help hydrate dry skin by drawing in moisture, while Melaleuca alternifolia tree extract and leaf oil calm it. However, because this toner lacks enough nourishing emollients to fully treat dry skin, a product of this type needs rich softening ingredients and heavy moisturizers to properly smooth and protect it.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Tree Extract do for dry sensitive skin?

Tree extract is unlikely to be a good fit for dry sensitive skin by itself, as this skin type needs barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and soothing plant extracts to stay calm and moisturized.

What does Glycerin do for dry sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps dry sensitive skin by drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, making the skin soft and smooth. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving how well the skin holds onto water. This type of skin needs ingredients that boost hydration and repair the barrier without causing stinging.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008

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

This soothing toner goes after your cleanser in both your morning and evening skincare routines. Because your skin is dry, a product of this type needs extra softening ingredients to lock in moisture and fully prevent tightness.

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

You can use this toner before your retinol, but because it lacks rich softening ingredients, your dry skin needs a richer cream afterward to keep your skin smooth and comfortable.

How often should I use this toner?

You can use this soothing toner daily as part of your morning and evening routine, though a product for dry sensitive skin needs more softening ingredients to fully lock in moisture.

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry sensitive skin, but it may cause some irritation since it contains fragrance and oils. To properly care for dry skin, a product of this type needs rich smoothing and softening ingredients alongside hydrating ones to fully protect against dryness.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
