Toners can be more powerful than you think. Other than balancing your skin's pH level, some toners contain exfoliating ingredients that'll help you achieve a clear, glowing complexion. These toners are often called acid toners, since they contain either Alpha- or Beta-Hydroxy Acids that exfoliate your skin without the harsh scrubbing. (Don't know the difference between the two?

Needless to say, acid toners were the standout skin care products for us this year. Keep scrolling to see the ones that impressed us most!
