Does anyone have a suggestion for a toner I should get next? I'm about to run out of my Bobbi Brown Hydrating Toner, so I want to get a different kind. I don't want an alcohol based toner because it tends to dry out my skin more than it can handle. I have normal skin, but its slightly prone to blackheads. Thanks in advance for your help!

Unfiltered organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
It helps with acne, and balances out your skins PH so it's not oily or dry. If you feel like you need moisture you can add a teaspoon of aloe Vera gel and shake it up.

Agree with Kitty. Try Braggs apple cider vinegar; I got it at Walmart for about $5.

Or if you don't want to use the vinegar try Thayers brand of toner or Burts Bees tomato toner.

May I ask what cleanser you are using? Toners aren't really necessary as they are made to pH balance the skin after cleansing (most cleansers are now stabilized and pH balanced so there's no need to over-do it with your skincare regimen). Some products use the title "Toner" as to inform the consumer when to use it in their regimen which is why some can be alcohol or witch hazel based (can be harsh on the skin but removes excess makeup and helps acneic skin). Some, like the Bobbi Brown one can be hydrating and help your serums and moisturizers absorb deeper. My personal favorite right now is Indie Lee's CoQ-10 Toner which does just that. It's all natural and non irritating as well.

In the morning I use Neutrogena Rapid Clear foaming scrub, along with my Clarisonic. After that I apply my toner, and then Aveeno Positively Radiant daily moisturizer. At night I use Bioré Blemish Fighting Ice cleanser, followed by toner, Kate Somerville Complexion Correction and the Body Shop Tea Tree Moisturizer. Both of my cleansers as well can be very harsh and drying to my skin, but I normally apply toner as a precaution to make sure that I've gotten all of the dirt and grime off of my face. If I haven't, it shows up on the cotton pad. And, like you said, it helps my moisturizers work better, which is nice due to the drying cleansers that I use.
