Benefits

SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Toner helps balance skin with antioxidants and hydrating ceramides, making oily areas less noticeable and skin more even, smooth, moisturised, and protected. It is an essential step in any skincare routine to renew skin after cleansing. Can also help remove the last traces of makeup.

Learn more about our facial toners.

Antioxidants, soothing plant extracts and niacinamide help tone down oily skin and minimize pore size. Its exceptionally lightweight liquid formula feels weightless on skin but still provides high-quality hydration to diminish dry flaky areas of skin.
How To Use

STEP 2: CONTROL OIL

After cleansing, apply toner to a cotton pad and gently stroke over face and neck. Do not rinse. Follow with the rest of your morning or evening skin care routine. For daytime, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater.

FAQs

What does toner do for skin?

Toners have many benefits for skin, such as replenishing and hydrating, providing essential antioxidants and removing leftover traces of makeup. Think of toner as a liquid moisturiser that provides a healthy base layer for the rest of your routine.

Is toner necessary?

Depending on your preferences, you might not need a toner, but once you try one, you’ll likely find it was the missing step you’ve been searching for. If you’re looking for an advanced system, a well-formulated toner will take your routine to the next level.

Which Paula’s Choice toner for oily skin should I use?

SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Toner is a great option if you deal with oily skin and enlarged pores, although we do carry a few other toners for oily skin.

How are Paula's Choice toners different than other toners on the market?

All Paula's Choice toners are fragrance-free, packaged to maintain stability and contain no sensitising ingredients, such as denatured alcohol, menthol or citrus. Every toner is formulated with key antioxidants and skin-replenishing ingredients like niacinamide, which makes them suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

If I am using Paula's Choice CLEAR collection, when should I apply the SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Toner?

If you’re adding this to your anti-blemish routine, apply right after cleansing. Follow with your exfoliant, anti-blemish treatment and moisturiser.

What is the pH of Paula’s Choice Pore-Reducing Toner?

The pH of this toner is between 6-7.

What percent of niacinamide is in Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner?

This pore-reducing toner contains 1% niacinamide, an amount that research shows can visibly refine enlarged pores, even out skin tone and provide antioxidant benefits.

Can I use other niacinamide products with the Pore-Reducing Toner?

Yes, you can use multiple niacinamide products in the same routine. If you have advanced concerns, like persistent dullness, enlarged pores or roughness with visibly lax pores (aka 'orange-peel texture'), you may want to try layering this toner under a serum or booster with a higher concentration of niacinamide.

    Noticed a difference in my skin within a week!

    I bought this toner along with a few other products. My skin has already changed so much in just a couple of weeks. My pores are visibly smaller & almost look closed. My skin is smoother, make up sits better and I feel like it looks more glowy too. About to place another order!
