Exfoliating toners are known to help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture and promote a smoother complexion. All of these functions are not only important for optimal skin health, but also for preparing it before other products are applied.
Toners formulated with non-drying active ingredients can also be used daily to both leave skin soft and prevent acne and breakouts. One of the best on the market is the REN Clean Skincare Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic which has been reduced from £30 to £22.50 at LookFantastic – this is cheaper than getting it from REN direct (£30).
With a blend of AHA and BHA, the gentle but powerful formula helps to refine the skin. It also works to restore a glowing quality to a tired complexion.
To hydrate your skin after using the toner, apply REN Clean Skincare Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream, which is currently on offer for £30 at LookFantastic. The exfoliating lotion has a 4.7 rating from 486 reviews.
One shopper wrote: “I’ve been using this product for a few years now, it’s a great everyday toner, I use it as my first step in my skin care routine. It sits perfectly under makeup and gives my skin a glowing and fresh look.”
Another added: “Really made a difference to my skin after day one. Skin felt really smooth and glowing in the morning.”

There has been minimal criticism of the product, but some customers complained about its effectiveness: “I’ve used plenty of other AHAs that have been much more effective and enjoyable to use. Would not buy again.”
Alternatively, there is Press & Glow Daily Exfoliating PHA Tonic from Medik8. Priced at £32, it contains polyhydroxy acid (PHA) gluconolactone, which has been shown to be gentle enough for twice-daily use – even on sensitive skin.
It has a rating of 4.9 out of 1080 reviews. “It helps keep my skin clean and clear without irritating it,” said one buyer.
