Obagi-C Balancing Toner FAQs

Do I need a toner?

Not everyone does. A toner can remove the last traces of cleanser and excess oil and leave skin feeling fresh before serum and moisturiser. It's most useful if your skin is on the oily side.

Is it suitable for dry skin?

It's made for normal to oily skin. If your skin is dry, you may find it too drying; a hydrating routine without a toner may suit you better.

Can I use it twice a day?

Yes. Use it morning and evening after cleansing, then let it dry before the next step.
