Is this the right step for me?

For excess oil and breakout-prone skin, after cleansing. Do not combine with Spot Treatment or Resurfacing Crème.

Gentle, balanced and strong describe formula intensity, not a ranking. Stronger is not always the right fit.

Before you pair: Pause Purifying Toner while using Resurfacing Crème or Spot Treatment. Use Clarifying Gel instead until your retinol course is finished.

    I love this PT purifying toner because it has made my pores much tighter and smaller than they have been for years. My skin is much less oily and my face feels so refreshed and ready for all my other PT products in my routine. I definitely recommend this toner as it’s not harsh on the skin and it’s very effective. I definitely recommend it !

    Purifying toner

    Listen, I've tried other toners but none of them makes my skin feel squeaky clean like this one. This toner definitely melts the excess oil and impurities from my face, leaving it feeling refreshing and extra clean! When I use the perfect tone face wash and then the toner, I rarely get pimples. It truly works!

    Helped to control my breakouts

    This product helped to control my breakouts. I have habit of picking at my acne and creating dark spots, but this product helped to shrink my pores and my pimples. I have used these products over the years, but not consistently and I did get good results. But I’m ready to get back on them consistently. The toner, spot treatment and the clarifying gel are my favorite!

Frequently asked questions

What does Purifying Toner do after cleansing?
It removes leftover film, helps pores look cleaner and helps oily skin feel fresh for longer.
Who is it best for?
It is best for oily, breakout-prone skin that becomes shiny quickly. Dry or easily irritated skin should use it less often.
How often should I use it?
Start once daily. Move to morning and evening only if your skin stays comfortable.
What should I do if it stings?
Stop using the product if you develop persistent burning, raw skin, a rash, swelling or worsening symptoms. Do not push through a reaction or restart automatically. Seek prompt medical advice for significant or persistent symptoms, without waiting or asking our permission first, and urgent care for breathing problems or severe swelling. Contact hello@perfec-tone.com with the product and your routine so a Glow Agent can help with product questions.
