Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide excellent hydration, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control.
- The presence of honey and yeast extract offers general skincare benefits and soothing properties for your oily skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion 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.
People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 4.2k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this toner is widely celebrated by users with dry and sensitive skin for its ability to provide immediate, deep hydration and a soothing effect that alleviates tightness.

Questions and answers
Why is Lancôme Tonique Confort a weak match for oily skin?
This hydrating toner is a weak match for oily skin because, while it provides good hydration and soothing benefits with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, it lacks oil-controlling agents to manage shine. A hydrating toner for oily skin needs ingredients that control oil while keeping skin balanced and fresh without feeling heavy.
Which ingredients make this toner a poor fit for oily skin?
This toner is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin needs targeted oil-controlling agents and lightweight hydration to help manage shine without adding heaviness.
What does Acacia Honey do for oily skin?
Acacia honey helps keep oily skin soft and smooth while supporting healing and keeping the skin calm. It draws moisture into the skin without adding heavy oils.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2013Phytotherapy Research, 2010
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
Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This hydrating toner fits into an oily skin routine in the morning right after your cleanser, and once a week during your weekly routine after a cleansing mask. It offers moderate hydration and soothing honey and yeast extract, but because this product is a weak match for oily skin, a toner of this type for your skin needs ingredients for optimal oil control.
Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this toner with retinol by applying it right after cleansing to keep your skin hydrated before your retinol treatment. A product of this type for oily skin needs added oil control ingredients.
How often should I use this toner?
You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine, as glycerin and sodium Hyaluronate provide good hydration for your oily skin while being very gentle. However, because it is a weak match for oily skin, a product of this type needs extra ingredients for optimal oil control.
Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts because it has very gentle ingredients and no harsh components, though oily skin needs a product that also helps control shine.
Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (hexyl cinnamal and parfum).
