Soap cleansing, water cleansing, butter moisturizing, Clinique skincare trilogy is a classic, and the men's collection also continues the concept of the trilogy, designing products around the three steps of cleansing, toning, and emollient. The second step of the "sweep deposition" link is still played by toner. Its main two toners carry the word "toning" to the end, and are suitable for young skin.
Pure Toner and Clean Oil Control Toner are similar in ingredients, both contain a large amount of denatured ethanol, and are compatible with salicylic acid, which has a strong ability to clean oil, and the use of oily skin can help control oil, which is not recommended for sensitive skin. In addition, North American witch hazel extract is also kneaded to enhance astringency. Although the official said that the toner is suitable for dry skin, the moisturizing ingredient in it is only a small amount of butylene glycol, which is slightly insufficient for dry skin. The difference between the two products is the different colorants used, with the Purifying Toner being pink and the Oil Control Toner being blue-green.
Clinique skincare products are fragrance-free, and both toners are unflavored and have a strong alcoholic smell. The upper face is very refreshing and cool, and some users report that it feels hot and spicy. Clinique was one of the first brands to introduce the concept of secondary cleansing, and it is recommended to wear it with a cotton pad to wipe the toner. Cotton pad rubbing can help remove dead keratin, but it is not suitable for people with normal, thin cuticles, and repeated rubbing may destroy the normal cuticle. Not all men have rough skin and thick skin, and their skin needs to be treated gently.
If you don't need strong oil control, we recommend choosing a men's moisturizing toner. This product is free of ethanol and salicylic acid, and uses a variety of moisturizing ingredients such as trehalose and cucumber fruit extract, as well as antioxidants such as astragalus root extract to provide higher moisturization and meet the needs of dry skin. Moisturizing and toning water is moisturized, and menthol is used to make up for the refreshing feeling, and the skin feels cool. Because of the use of phenoxyethanol in its antiseptic structure, some people will have a slight burning and stinging sensation on their faces. Unlike the other two toners, the hydrating toner doesn't have a noticeable odor and only has a slight mint flavor.
