Often referred to as a “facial in a bottle”, this product has garnered a loyal following among beauty editors and skincare enthusiasts. While it’s a favorite among most, it’s not a standalone solution. To unlock its full potential, make sure you are preparing your skin beforehand and are following up with the right products, ensuring you maximize all the benefits it has to offer.
Benefits of Using a Toner
A face toner is essential for maintaining balanced pH levels, eliminating impurities and encouraging cell turnover. The Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970 is a cult favorite for good reason; it combines exfoliation, purification, toning and hydration, delivering comprehensive care for your skin.

What to use before applying your toner
Double cleansing is a crucial step in any skincare routine, since it ensures the skin is thoroughly free of makeup, dirt and excess oil. By removing these impurities first, you prepare your skin to better absorb the benefits of your toner, allowing the active ingredients to work more deeply.
First Cleanse
DANUCERA
Cerabalm
Start by melting away makeup, SPF, oil and grime from the day with a cleansing balm. Cerabalm makes for the most effective first cleanse, since it is made up of anti-inflammatory and cell-repairing oils that will effectively clean the skin while nourishing it. Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin with dry hands and gently massage into the complexion for 2-3 minutes, gradually adding a few drops of water to then emulsify the balm. Remove with a damp washcloth. Cerabalm deeply cleanses and balances oil production for a perfectly balanced complexion, preparing you for your second cleanse.

What to use after applying your toner
Toning the skin before applying a mask, serum, or moisturizer will prepare the skin for optimal absorption! A toner helps to refine pores and restore pH balance, allowing the subsequent products to penetrate more effectively and deliver maximum benefits to the skin.
