This toner is especially formulated for large pore and blemished skin types that require skin tightening as well as pH balance and residue removal. The herbal astringents of yarrow and persimmon leaves are combined with organic apple cider to tighten the pores. This reduces the exposure of the skin to environmental pollutions that can more easily migrate into open pores. Use the Herbal Astringent Toner between all cleansing and Favorable Effects steps just like the Restorative Toner.
