And with every new trend that emerges, once-game-changing products fall to the wayside. Take toner, for example. In the \u201890s and early \u201800s, toner (particularly in the form of astringent) was a popular product, primarily for those with acne-prone skin. Then, in the 2010s, people started to scoff at the pore-shrinking, zit-zapping liquid. The reason? Classic, alcohol-infused toner was extremely drying. While many skin-care brands caught onto this and started debuting updated formulas that focus on hydration and gentle exfoliation, many people still think toner is an absolute no-go for their skincare routines. But guess what?

The liquid formulas can help subsequent products sink deeper into pores, as well. That\u2019s because many toners are water-based, and the water helps make skin more permeable (10 times more, according to Rouleau). \u201cSo the idea is that [toner] may help penetrate those active ingredients deeper within the skin to drive better results,\u201d she explains. \u201cSo if you\u2019re not using a toner, you definitely should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trick is to look for an alcohol-free formula that addresses your complexion concerns. \u201cAs long as they\u2019re alcohol-free, they\u2019re not going to dry out the skin,\u201d she says. While many people think that alcohol is the trick to banishing acne-causing bacteria, Rouleau reminds us that there are plenty of other ingredients that can get the job done, including gentle exfoliants like salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids.
