Facial toner recommended

If creams and masks can be compared to food for our skin, tonic is its “water”. And life without water on the face, as well as on the planet, is impossible. Cosmetic tonics and lotions help cleanse, moisturize, mattify, heal, and whiten the skin. The specific action depends on the set of active components that are part of your product. How to give your face new colors, make it brighter, younger and more impressive? And at the same time not spend extra money on care? After all, tonic, although a necessary functional product, is far from the main “genius” of a woman’s cosmetic bag.

In this rating, we decided to analyze the best popular mass-market tonics point by point. Even professional cosmetologists do not hesitate to use many of them in their salons. The sales volumes and profits of the leaders of the global beauty market allow large companies to have their own laboratories, conduct constant quality control and develop innovative approaches to rejuvenation and beauty. Therefore, products in the Economy segment are often not inferior in effectiveness to premium tonics. What will your skin drink tomorrow? Decide for yourself:

Especially for you, we not only reviewed the main companies involved in the production of tonics, but also identified the basic principles according to which you should make your choice. So let's get started.

Which brand of facial toner should I buy?

Garnier

For many customers, the name of this French brand is synonymous with quality and positive effects on the skin. Specialists from France carefully monitor the quality of their products to ensure that they are suitable for both women with normal and overly sensitive skin.

Belita Vitex

Yes, manufacturers from the post-Soviet space also receive considerable recognition from customers. The Belarusian company has proven itself to be excellent with its inexpensive but high-quality products, which go through many stages of testing and verification.

Nivea

A German manufacturer that has gained well-deserved popularity among customers. The company's products are especially appreciated by women for their gentle care, natural supplements, and the ability to use them for various skin types.

Natura Siberica

A Russian company offering inexpensive but high-quality cosmetics. Natural ingredients are used in production. Toners from Natura Siberica are especially recommended for oily skin.

Green Mama

The very name of the company reveals the naturalness of the ingredients that make up its products. For this, as well as for the quality and large volume of containers for cosmetics, this manufacturer is appreciated by customers.

Rating of the best facial toners

1st place: “Basic care” from Garnier

The volume of this product is quite standard - 200 milliliters. The price for one bottle of this volume is quite acceptable - in stores you will not find options more expensive than 150 rubles. The manufacturer claims that this product effectively rids the skin of toxins, cleanses it well, reduces irritation and disgusting itching, and also perfectly soothes at the end of the working day.

This product is created for several skin types: normal, dry and sensitive. It is worth noting that Garnier managed to create a good product with a unique formula that does not cause allergies or harmful effects on the skin. The tonic successfully includes natural ingredients.

Advantages:

1. Cheapness;
2. Confirmed quality;
3. Versatility of use.

Flaws:

1. The product copes well only with the immediate tasks of maintaining overall skin tone, but in no way fights age-related problems.

It should be noted that this product has more good than bad reviews. Even in critical sentences there is room for positive aspects.

2nd place: Green Mama (complex of products “Sea Garden”, “Lingonberries and Celandine”, “Strawberries and String”).

This manufacturer does not skimp on large bottles: it supplies tonics in containers of 300 milliliters. The cost of one bottle varies between 130 and 150 rubles, which is very reasonable.

The manufacturer skillfully created a series of products in which he was able to link the effects of various components (strawberries, lingonberries, algae). Thus, tonics have a targeted and targeted effect on each skin type: the buyer has the opportunity to choose the product that she really needs.

Advantages:

1. Low price;
2. Generous volume of the bottle, designed in such a way that the product is used economically;
3. Naturalness of components;
4. A targeted “strike” for skin problems.

Flaws:

1. A bottle of product does not always fit comfortably into a cosmetic bag or handbag.

Many customers note that even periodic use of tonics of this brand leads to positive results. Some people note that the substances contain a lot of “chemicals”, but they should look at other products on the market and understand that Green Mama does not skimp on natural additives.

3rd place: Aqua Effect toner from Nivea

This manufacturer bottles tonics in standard 200 ml bottles. The cost of one reaches 180 rubles. The company's products not only bring the skin back to life, but also relieve it from dryness and also cleanse it of harmful elements. Practical in German. The toner has an innovative formula that intensely supplies the skin with moisture.

Advantages:

1. Delicate skin throughout the application of the product;
2. Complete absence of alcohol – a very irritating component;
3. Pleasant and enveloping texture.

Flaws:

1. This product is not suitable for various types of skin; there is absolutely no so-called “duration of action” effect.

Customers are generally satisfied with this product: many prefer the tonic for a long time. However, some people ask a completely understandable question: “Why is there so much chemistry in its composition?”

4th place: toner with mattifying effect from Natura Siberica

The bottle is standard: its volume is the classic 200 milliliters. The price is very reasonable - 140 rubles for one tonic.
The manufacturer guarantees that its product not only mattifies, but also rids various types of skin of all kinds of harmful substances. Of course, today not a single cosmetic product can be called completely natural. However, Natura Siberica tries to get as close as possible to the ideal of naturalness. Thus, the tonic contains no aggressive salts, harmful fragrances or parabens.

Advantages:

1. The smell of herbs that enchanted many customers;
2. The consistency of the substance is very delicate and pleasant to the touch;
3. An excellent and quick solution to oily skin problems.

Flaws:

1. The effect does not last long: in order for it to last the whole day, you need to apply the product at least 3 times.

Customers note that this product perfectly combats various skin problems: removes spots, tightens pores, and also gives a matte effect. However, some rightly note that before use it is necessary to do a little testing, since the herbs contained in the tonic can cause an allergic effect.

5th place: toner from Belita Vitex (whitening effect)

The bottle is small (150 milliliters), but very convenient: you can put it in your cosmetic bag or put it in your purse. Perhaps the most “budget of all budget” - the cost is only 60 rubles.

Despite the low price, the product effectively solves several problems. The toner actively removes old skin and allows young epithelium to develop normally, stimulates metabolism, and also tones well.

Advantages:

1. A noticeable effect that can be achieved from the first use;
2. Very economical to use.

Flaws:

1. A noticeable amount of harmful chemicals in the composition (acids) that can harm the skin.

Customers note that the effect of the tonic is simply amazing: it can replace the work of specialists. However, there is a counterargument to such bold statements: the product contains a large number of harmful ingredients.

Which facial toner to choose

As was said at the beginning of the review, you need to find a kind of golden mean between price and quality. We considered that the product from Garnier “Basic Care” could be recognized as such an ideal toner. It has a good price, good effect, and also contains a lot of natural substances. The toner is truly universal, which allows it to be used by women with different skin types. It cannot be said that our choice is subjective: it is confirmed by a whole mass of positive reviews from numerous customers.
