Alcohol-free and suitable for all skin types, this not only tones and cleanses but also hydrates, softens, refines pores and primes your skin for the rest of your skincare ritual. It’s made with rose fruit extract that has astringent properties to refine the look of pores but also stimulates collagen synthesis to help skin look smoother.

Great for sensitive skin, this alcohol-free toner gently accelerates cell renewal to give you a brighter, glowing complexion.

You may have already heard about this iconic toning solution from The Ordinary after it made its rounds on TikTok for being an excellent deodorant (you read that right). Users have claimed that the solution stops sweat in its tracks, prevents body odour, and minimises pigmentation, which explains why this popular product has been flying off the shelves in Sephora. Of course, if you're using it on your face, you'll notice that this toning solution helps to mildly exfoliate your skin, leaving it radiant and clear, and at the same time, it also helps to improve the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
