Toners and I haven't historically made the world's best duo. I've trial-tested a number of options that have only seemed to irritate my skin. But the fact of the matter is, toner is an essential step to the K-beauty routine, prepping your skin to effectively absorb all the hydrating products to come. That said, would it be dramatic of me to say Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA +BHA Pore-Tight Toner ($34) came into my life like a literal angel? Potentially, but that's just where I am with it. Where many Western toners are often formulated to work like an astringent (using ingredients such as alcohol or witch hazel), Korean toners tend to instead emphasise hydrating, skin-soothing ingredients. Basically, it's the sensitive skin's champion.
