Korean Toners
In a Korean skincare routine, toner isn’t a quick cleansing step but the first layer of hydration. Korean toners are usually watery and gentle, alcohol-free and packed with nourishing extracts such as heartleaf, rice, ginseng and centella. They leave skin supple and help the following steps absorb better. Here you’ll find every Korean toner at Boozyshop, from cult favourites to new K-beauty brands.

Layering: the 7 skin method
In Korea, toner is often applied in several thin layers, known as the 7 skin method. Pat a few drops into your skin, let it absorb and repeat until your skin feels plump and supple. It works best with a hydrating toner without acids. Follow with a Korean essence, serum and moisturiser.
Choose your Korean toner by skin need
For hydration, pick a hydrating toner; for redness, a soothing toner; and for dull skin, a brightening toner. To tackle pores and blackheads, exfoliating toners and Korean toner pads with AHA, BHA or PHA are the best choice.
