Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner — 8.4 fl oz | Alcohol-Free, Hydrating Mattifying Toner for Normal to Oily Skin

This lightweight facial toner is formulated for normal to oily skin types that need oil control without over-drying. It pairs hydrating Glacial Glycoprotein with Desert Plant Extract to help refresh and balance skin after cleansing. pH-balanced and free of parabens and fragrance, the toner is designed to refine the skin’s surface while keeping moisture levels intact for a more comfortable, less shiny complexion.

How does this toner reduce excess oil without stripping skin?

The formula focuses on removing leftover dirt, makeup traces, and surface oil without using harsh alcohols that can dry skin. By balancing skin’s surface and supporting hydration, it helps the complexion look fresher and less prone to midday shine. Regular use after cleansing maintains a cleaner base for serums and moisturizers.

• Alcohol-free formulation avoids harsh dryness
• Glacial Glycoprotein helps retain moisture while clearing oil
• pH-balanced to support the skin’s natural barrier
• Visibly reduces surface oil for a matte-finish effect

When and how should I apply the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner?

Use the toner after any facial cleanser, morning and night, as the next step in your routine. Apply to a cotton pad and sweep across the face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Follow with your usual treatments and a moisturizer suited for oily or combination skin.

• Apply after cleansing on dry or damp skin
• Use a cotton pad for even distribution
• Avoid eye area; safe for daily morning and evening use
• Works well before serums and oil-free moisturizers

What key ingredients are in the toner and what do they do?

These actives combine to keep skin comfortable as surface oil is diminished.

• Glacial Glycoprotein — supports moisture retention

How will this toner fit into my existing skincare routine?
