Korean skincare products are taking the world by storm. Stores like ULTA and Sephora are starting to carry these skincare products that come from overseas. There are many different brands to choose from online and also in stores. It may be a difficult choice on which toner to purchase with so many different brands out there to choose from. Korean toners do not have alcohol in them like American toners do, because of this Korean toners won't strip or dry out your skin like their American counterparts do. Korean toners also contain ingredients that are better for your skin and will help improve your complexion over time with use.

I am a huge fan of Korean skincare products. I have combination oily skin which is also sensitive. In general, I am not a fan of toners. The American toners tend to make my skin breakout and also leave me with dry patches. I was apprehensive about trying Korean toners at first but received a few small samples with other products I had order so was able to try them before purchasing them. I was shocked to find how gentle they were on my skin and how well they worked.

I am amazed to find that Korean toners did not irritate my sensitive skin and actually helped to clear breakouts. The list below is my favorites of the Korean toners I have tried. I hope you enjoy this list, and you just might find your new favorite skincare toner.

$18 for 16.9 fl oz

This is my holy grail of toners. This toner is gentle yet effective. It comes in a large 16.9 fluid ounce size. The top of the bottle has a pump on it so it dispenses an even amount of product onto your cotton pad. I love the design of the package it's much more hygienic than other bottles that don't have this type of top. Wonder Pore has helped to clear up any breakouts that I have without drying out my skin. I also noticed my pores looked smaller after using this over time. This product helps to balance the pH levels in the skin.

$28 for 8.45 fl oz

This toner has fermented yeast in it which works to clear up trouble skin. The formula is gentle and felt soothing on. My skin felt smoother after using this product. The bottle is very classy looking and makes a good display piece in the bathroom or on a vanity. The bottle has a shiny silver top and is clear and see through.

$20 for 6.08 fl oz

This is one of my favorite toners for fall and winter months. It works wonders on dry skin and has helped clear up any dry patches that I have. Avocado Rich Toner has 10 percent avocado extract in it and moisturizes skin on contact. It feels soothing and not greasy. This toner is a miracle product for those with dry skin.

$19 for 8.45 fl oz

This toner is great for clearing up acne-prone skin. Its similar to Wonder Pore in the way it cleared up my breakouts. This is easily my second favorite toner for clearing up breakouts. What is unique about this toner is it has Jeju volcanic cluster in it which helps to absorb excess oil out of the skin. This toner works best for me during summer months and can be drying if used in the winter when my skin isn't as oily. I would recommend this toner to those with oily skin.

$14.53 for 4.05 fl oz

This toner comes in a spray container which I really like. It has a gel-like consistency. The packing is a purple color, which I also love since purple is one of my favorite colors. The formula of this toner is designed to fade fine lines and help prevent wrinkles. Collagen is one of the main ingredients in this toner, which is great for anti-aging. Collagen also helps to restore elasticity to skin while moisturizing. This is a good toner to use to fade wrinkles or prevent aging.
