    @perry I would love to see a study that measured the skin pH post toner use. There would be a control group that used no toner and a group that used a well-formulated toner (pH 4.5-5.5) product with measurements at maybe 30 minutes and see if their pH rebalancing was the same. 

    I mean water, cleanser and sweat studies have been done. . .does that sound crazy? Or does my logic only make sense to me lol!

    I think toners suffer from being a broad category. I mean hydrosols with essential oils are marketed as toners… Most water serums are just thickened toners..

    This has been an interesting topic to me for awhile now. So “good” cleansers are formulated around 5.5 but then most of us rinse said cleanser off with water at a pH of 7+. As water can disrupt the acid mantle all on its own, does a pH balancing toner assist in the skin’s rebalance of pH post cleanse. . . . Some people say no, but there is no research to disprove it so I stick to my toners.
