Its a liquid that you apply after washing your face with a cotton pad. it basically takes off a layer of dust/dort that couldnt otherwise have been taken away. sometimes it can strip away too many natural oils in your face. you can only use it like twice a week and afterwards/next day you should avoid sun exposure cause your skin is too delicate for getting a burn. I use one by clinique that was in a trial size with my 3-step system set. the toner from clinique isnt very expensive though (considering the brand name). I've also used one by loreal but it was weaker.

I use the stress - control one by neutrogena. It's gentle enough for everyday use and actually eliminated stubborn breakouts on my forehead that had been there for weeks.

Thank you guys! does it even out the skin tone also? or what should I use for that because I have splotches on the sides of my face, around the jaw line.

A toner is generally used after a cleanse to remove any final traces of the cleanser, it closes pores, tightens skin, removes excess sebum, and if it contains witch hazel or alcohol will reduce apperance of spots/blemishes and have a germicidal effect, it does not even out skin tone (studying beauty therapy)
