What Is A Toner?
According to board-certified dermatologistDr.
Mona Gohara, M.D., a board-certified Hamden, Connecticut-based dermatologist.
What Is An Essence?
Like toners,essencesare applied after cleansing and before you carry on with the rest of your regimen.
Its a liquid serum, essentially, Gohara says.
Liu also notes their ability to soften the skin and allow for enhanced absorption of subsequent products.
Consider your skin concerns and allow that to guide you versus what the products called.
Take the ingredient list into consideration, too.
Both should be applied after cleansing but you dont need to use both at once.
I would pick just one, says Liu.
Whichever route you go with, both elixirs can be beneficial in your quest for a more radiant glow.
