10 Best Skin Toners for Men

1. Baxter of California Herbal Mint Toner

Baxter of California Herbal Mint Toner is one of their customers’ favorites, and we can certainly see why. Attention anyone who hates cold, dark mornings! (So, like, everyone). This toner will gently wake you up with an invigorating scent of herbs and mint, whilst removing residual dirt, oil, and impurities that’s just out of reach for a cleanser. It also prepares the skin to absorb the rest of your skincare routine, enhancing its benefits. So, if you want to make the most of your skin care routine, and we bet you do, you need Baxter of California Herbal Mint Toner to unlock the full potential of your skin.

2. Aesop B & T Balancing Toner

Many things in life are better with alcohol – coffee, cocktails, and cake to name a few – but skincare? Nuh-uh. Applying products with alcohol in the formula can seriously dry out your skin in the short term. And in the long term, it can enlarge pores and make the skin greasier. Either way, it doesn’t sound as good as vodka on the rocks, right? So, Aesop B & T Balancing Toner is formulated without alcohol, making it a great choice for all skin types, even those with dry and sensitive skin.

The “B” stands for provitamin B5, known for its deeply moisturizing and pH balancing properties, whilst green tea extract reduces the appearance of pores, acne, fine lines, and wrinkles. Green tea also contains antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals. All the ingredients found in this toner have been sourced from the highest quality man-made and botanical resources, and we wouldn’t expect anything less from Aesop.

3. Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Another alcohol-free toner that’s caught our attention is by Neutrogena. Tone down the harshness of your skincare routine with a gentle toner that helps to purify, refresh and cleanse the skin without removing its natural moisture or damaging the skin’s protective barrier. The secret? It’s all about the mild purifiers that you won’t find in a stripping toner no matter how hard you look.

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner is also oil-free to minimize the grease, because yes, you can still look greasy in cooler months, hypoallergenic for extra care towards sensitive skin, and non-comedogenic so your pores can still breathe – see ya later (or never) clogged pores and zits.

4. Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner

Nothing says “self-care” more than cucumbers over the eyes, or in your toner if you’re short on time. Kiehl’s Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner works (and looks like) green juice for your skin. Fuel and nourish your skin whilst removing any nasties from the skin with cucumber extract and allantoin. While cucumber may taste just like water, it’s full of nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins B and C. What’s more, it’ll also intensely moisturize, reduce inflammation, and calm irritation if you’re having a bad skin day.

Allantoin helps to soothe and heal the skin, as well as speed up cell regeneration (since you’re in a hurry) for a brighter, fresher appearance. But we’ve saved the best till last, Kiehl’s Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner’s shelf-life is a lot longer than a fresh cucumber, so you can continue to indulge in the benefits of cucumber extract day after day.

5. Brickell Balancing Toner

If you liked the sound of cucumber, Brickell Balancing Toner combines cucumber distillate to minimize those crater-like pores and soothe the skin, with witch hazel, peppermint, and aloe vera. Witch hazel is a natural astringent that works like magic to reduce inflammation and oil build-up. Peppermint cleanses the skin whilst providing antibacterial properties, and because of this, it can reduce the appearance of acne. To stop the skin from drying out whilst toning, aloe vera rehydrates the skin. Did you know that aloe vera is 95% water? So, you know, pretty hydrating. But as the name suggests, the main skincare benefit of using Brickell Balancing Toner is to balance out uneven skin tone.

6. Lab Series Anti-Age Max LS Water Lotion Toner

As soon as you hit your late 20s, almost everything in your skincare routine should contain an anti-aging element if you’re certain aging gracefully isn’t for you – is it really for anyone, though? This anti-aging toner by Lab Series will help you to get a head start as it fights the signs of aging whilst prepping the skin to absorb the most out of your skincare products with the same goal in mind. With regular use, it’ll also strengthen the skin’s protective barrier to improve tone, texture, and prevent premature aging from environmental stressors such as the winter sun, cold temperatures, and pollution.

7. Jack Black Oil-Control Toner

Ever feel like your oily skin is taking over your entire life and if you could control it everything would fall into place? (Not to be dramatic or anything, this is something only fellow oily skin types will understand). Jack Black Oil-Control Toner features powerhouse ingredient salicylic acid to manage oil build-up.

It works as a light exfoliation to dissolve the top layer of dead skin cells and surface oils that cause clogged pores, leading to acne – as if having oily skin wasn’t enough! Witch hazel and red macroalgae extract have also been added to the formula to assist with reducing the appearance of oily skin. In other words, you have all of the ingredients you need to maintain glowy, not oily skin.

8. HommeFace Herbal Spray Toner

Made from 100% natural ingredients, artnaturals Vitamin C Facial Toner can be used with all skin types. If your skin is overly sensitive, artnaturals provide next-level TLC. Sometimes formulas specially made for sensitive skin types don’t pack a punch like a formula for all skin types does, and your skin can feel seriously left out. However, this toner’s formula is rich in vitamin C to erase age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, tighten pores, reduce grease, and beautify the skin.

Carrot oil, which is high in vitamin A and carotenoids, works to detoxify, nourish, and keep the skin looking younger than it actually is. Plus, it’s ethically sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free. Who knew toning could feel so good? Oh, wait, artnaturals did!

9. Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner

A healthy complexion radiates glow, but there are many factors that go into achieving healthy skin such as eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and drinking less alcohol. Now, achieving all three of these things is hard work, especially minimizing alcohol, which you don’t have to be so strict on with the right toner.

Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner will allow you to chill out on weekends, (whilst being alcohol-free itself), as niacinamide helps to build keratin, a protein essential to the skin’s health, as well as fade hyperpigmentation, signs of aging, and pore size; brightening the overall appearance.

10. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

This toner by The Ordinary gently exfoliates and tones the skin. It features 7% glycolic acid to speed up the skin’s natural process of cell turnover to reveal radiance, clear the complexion, and improve skin texture. It also includes amino acids, aloe vera, ginseng, and Tasmanian pepperberry to achieve ultimate skin goals. Because of the strength of glycolic acid, it’s not suitable for sensitive skin.
