The Truth about Toners

It’s been all over the internet. Toners are great for your skin. Toners are terrible for your skin. This dermatologist says you should tone twice a day! This dermatologist says throw those toners away!


Poetry aside, before we ask ourselves if toners are necessary in our skincare routines. We have to understand what they are and what they’re supposed to do.

Back in the good ol’ days (I’m talking the 90s and early oughts, what a time!), toners were usually filled to the brim with alcohol and other ingredients known as ‘astringents’, meant to clear the pores and tighten up the skin. While these toners did technically do their jobs, they also horribly damaged the skin’s defensive barrier, leaving it red, irritated, and exposed to further external damage. I remember being an acne-prone teen, lathering on my astringent toner, clenching my teeth through the stinging and still wondering why my acne would just not go away!

So, dermatologists came to a conclusion: toners? “Who needs ‘em? Throw ‘em out!” And in the case of these ‘astringent’ toners, that is definitely the truth.

But, times have changed and toners these days have so much more to offer than those of the past.

Is Toning Really Necessary?

Toner can have a place in everyone’s skincare routine, regardless of their skin type! As a matter of fact, there are toners designed to treat dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, combination skin, normal skin, acne-prone skin, and more!

Overall, a good toner should refresh your skin and clear off any extra residue left after cleansing without damaging the moisture barrier.

How OxygenCeuticals does Toning

OxygenCeuticals has a great selection of toners to choose from according to your skin type! Each of our toners is specially formulated to handle a variety of skincare concerns from dry and aging skin to oily, acne prone skin to overheated, sensitive skin!

OxygenCeuticals’ Nutrient Toner

  • The Nutrient Toner has a thick, milky texture.

One of my absolute favorite toners created by any skincare brand, the Nutrient Toner, is an essence type toner suitable for dry and aging skin. It’s formulated with Hyaluronic Acid which moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Portulaca Oleracea Extract (Or Little Hogweed for the less botanically-inclined) protects the skin by enhancing the skin’s protective barrier. And finally, Allantoin, a chemical compound found naturally in several plants like Chamomile and the Sugar Beet, soothes and calms irritated skin.

To use it: After cleansing, soak a cotton pad with the toner and apply it to the skin to rid the skin of any leftover residue.

A special tip! If you have a particularly dry spot on your skin, soak a few cotton pads with the Nutrient Toner to create a DIY mummy mask and let the nutrients soak into and hydrate the skin.

OxygenCeuticals’ Skin Balancing Toner

  • The Skin Balancing Toner is a light-weight watery toner that absorbs quickly into the skin.

The Skin Balancing Toner is a water-type toner with a pH of 5.5. This toner is meant to regulate sebum and balance the skin’s moisture levels after cleansing. It can improve the skin’s overall texture while also moisturizing and enhancing the skin’s immunity with herbal ingredients.

Its naturally-derived, herbal ingredients, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Freesia Refracta Extract, are traditionally used in Chinese medicine to soothe and calm the skin. Lavender Extract controls the skin’s sebum production.

These properties make the toner a miracle for anyone with inflamed acne-prone or irritated skin.

To use: After cleanser, apply the toner onto the face with a cotton pad and wipe away any leftover residue from cleansing.

OxygenCeuticals’ Toning Gel

  • The Toning Gel is a light blue, gel type toner that great for any skin type.

OxygenCeuticals’ Toning Gel is a different kind of toner. This toner starts out with a light, gel consistency that immediately becomes liquid upon application to the skin. Its soothing ingredients, like Centella Asiatica and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extracts relieve sunburn, atopy, irritation, and pain.

This makes it perfect for the summer time as well as after skincare procedures like microneedling that leave the skin feeling a bit pained!

But it also has another function! The addition of adenosine in the formula makes it anti-aging as well. Adenosine is known to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Toning Gel is so multi-functional that we love to mix it with some of our other products to maximize its benefits. For example, mix it with the Clarifying Mask to create a soft, creamy consistency that allows the mask to stay moist for longer and allows your skin to absorb all the nutrients from the Kaolin Clay.

Or, for a hydrating sleeping mask, mix it with our HA Gel to create an ultra-moisturizing gel mask to wear overnight!

To use the toning gel:

  1. Apply an adequate amount to the face at the toner step.
  2. Gently tap into the skin to fully absorb.

Cryogenic Activator

But what if you need something thats quick and simple? A mist toner might be just the thing! OxygenCeuticals’ Cryogenic Activator is an oxygen-infused deep sea water mist that soothes and cools the skin instantly.

It’s the perfect toner for extremely sensitive skin, such as a skin that has become sensitized due to plastic surgery or facial procedures like laser, peeling, or microneedling therapy.

Formulated with Deep Sea Water from the Korean East Sea, it contains minerals and nutrients that strengthen the skin’s immune system and keep it healthy. Meanwhile, pure oxygen soothes and accelerates the healing of damaged skin.

It’s so good that we recommend spas and hospitals to use it during pre/post procedural care after their clients’ treatments!

To use the Cryogenic Activator:

  1. Spray onto the skin at about a 10-15cm distance.
  2. After surgery or facial treatment, use as a mist or mummy mask (for soothing) by wetting cotton pads.

D:O2 Activator

And last, but certainly not the least, is OxygenCeuticals’ D:O2 Activator! You can think of our Cryogenic Activator but with double the O2 and double the power! D:O2, or Double Oxygen Boost Activator is another mist type toner that soothes and cools the skin.

This mist is no joke, either. The D:O2 Activator can cool down the skin by a few degrees immediately after use, soothing the skin and reducing inflammation. The D:O2 Activator contains Deep Sea Water from the Korean East Sea with nutrients to improve your skin’s immune system. Pure oxygen soothes and accelerates the healing of damaged skin. In fact, our clinical research has found that the D:O2 Activator facilitates about 40% faster skin recovery after a procedure.

In addition, Oxygen has amazing antioxidative effects (it’s practically in the name). Our clinical research has found tht there is a significant decrease in harmful ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) production on skin when treated with 1,000 ppm of our oxygen-infused deep sea water.

Finally, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate acts as a Natural Moisturizing Factor that keeps the skin hydrated for longer. The D:O2 is a triple-threat toner that will keep your skin healthy and glowing!

To use the D:O2 Activator:

  1. Spray an adequate amount onto the face at toner step.
  2. Reapply onto the skin as needed.

Conclusion

So there we have it! The toners of the past may have become obsolete with their harsh actives and stripping astringents, but now, toners can do so much more. OxygenCeuticals’ toners come in a variety of types, textures, and uses, all with healthy skin in mind.

So, take your pick and discover the magic of OxygenCeuticals’ toner line!

Breathe life into your skin!

Keep Moisture Tightly in Your Skin

The weather is getting colder and colder. Many people might feel extra-dryness in this season. As we know, hydrating the skin is really important to keep your skin healthy.

Water is essential for lives. Actually, 60-70% of the human body is composed of water. As taking quite a big part of the body component, water is closely related to skin health.

What will happen if the body is lack of water? The very symptoms are dryness and sensation of tightness. When the skin gets dry, its self-protection becomes weaker so that the skin will be easily irritated and turn red.

Furthermore, people who have oily skin type can struggle with various skin troubles like acnes and pimples because of a damaged skin barrier. The worst part is, if you let it be dry continuously, it causes wrinkle formation and accelerates aging.

Thus, the very first step to have beautiful and healthy skin is to retain proper amount of moisture in your skin. Healthy skin certainly contains moisture from the deeper side of skin so that the skin is able to be firm and elastic. Also it can protect itself from external irritations.

Till now, we learned why we have to keep our skin moisturized. Let’s look around OxygenCeuticals’ Hydrating product line.

Nutrient Toner, an intensive moisturizing toner, has uncommon texture, unlike other toners. Many kinds of toners in the cosmetics market have watery texture. However, OxygenCeuticals Nutrient Toner is an essence type toner so that it provides rich nutrients and the moisture remains longer than other toners.

Moreover, it spreads smoothly so that it never stresses the skin. Nutrient Toner improves your skin texture. However, even it is nutritious, it isn’t greasy at all, so that people who have oily skin type can use this toner, too.

When you need a special skincare, you can use this toner like a mummy pack. Put cotton pads soaked with Nutrient Toner on your skin, and remove it after 15-20 minutes. If you need some more effects, you can use it mixing with Fluids.

Next stop is, a perfect pairing of hydrating serum and ampoule, Acell-300 Fluid and Moisture Aqua Serum. These two items are used after using toner.

As containing Hyaluronic Acid, Moisture Aqua Serum provides plenty of moisture. Also, Jojoba Oil, which has very similar molecular structure to human sebum, offer the ideal moisture-oil ratio on skin without any irritation.

Acell-300 Fluid formulates moisture layer at the moment you apply it. Acell-300, the patented ingredient, let your skin be moisturized and prevent the evaporation of moisture as well.

The reason why these are a perfect combination is as well as you can experience great moisturizing effect even though you use them separately but you can achieve synergistic effects when you use these items together.

Acell-300 Fluid is a little bit thick so when you mix it with Moisture Aqua Serum that is gel type serum, it can be spread very well and be absorbed faster. So the manias of OxygenCeutials already mix these two items before they apply on their skin.

The last step of daily skincare is definitely to apply the cream. OxygenCeuticals Hydrating Cream prevents to lose moisture from your skin. We already know the hydrating is important, but the ‘moisturizing’ is also critical to keep skin healthy.

If the skin can’t retain moisture, the hydrating is just like a bottomless pit. Furthermore, when moisture evaporates from skin, it doesn’t go alone. As water has a tendency to attract each other, a bunch water molecules leaves your skin at once.

OxygenCeuticals Hydrating Cream creates a strong moisture layer, so it not only prevents dryness but also fills moisture and other nutrient to keep your skin nutritious.

Additionally, Hydrating Cream contains Niacinamide, which is well know as its brightening effect, so that it can make your skin brighter than before.

The lightweight creamy texture doesn’t leave stickiness and greasiness at all, and gives your skin glossiness.

With OxygenCeuticals’ Hydrating Line, you can protect your skin from this cold and dry weather so that you can have healthy and moisturized skin.
