Is Your Toner Doing More Harm Than Good?

If the word “toner” makes you think of stinging alcohol and stripped skin, you’re not alone. Traditional toners were often designed to remove excess oil with ingredients that dried out your skin in the process.

Pangea’s Pore Purifying Peptide Toner is different. Alcohol-free and infused with plant-based hydrosols, it works with your skin’s natural pH—not against it.

After cleansing, your skin’s acid mantle (its natural protective barrier) can become disrupted. A properly formulated toner helps restore that balance, preparing your skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers.

Our toner includes rose, witch hazel, and green tea—ingredients that are soothing, anti-inflammatory, and lightly astringent without over-drying. It’s a perfect summer skin companion: refreshing post-sweat, calming after sun exposure, and restorative after a deep cleanse or mask.

If you’ve been skipping toner—or using one that leaves your skin tight—it’s time to rethink what this step can do. Your skin deserves support, not sabotage.
