Toners are one of the most underestimated steps in a skincare routine. Often forgotten altogether, a good toner can quietly transform your complexion. And if you’ve ever wondered whether one toner is enough, think again. Having two high-quality toners in your skincare lineup gives you the flexibility to respond to your skin’s ever-changing needs.
Whether you’re managing oiliness in summer, dryness in winter or navigating the unpredictability of combination skin, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel toners offer tailored care for every situation. Here’s why the 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner and the Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Moisturising Toner are better together – and why your skin will thank you.
Why toner matters – no matter your skin type
Let’s start with the basics. What does toner actually do?
Toners are designed to refine pores, remove residual impurities after cleansing, balance your skin’s pH and prep your face to absorb moisturisers and serums more effectively. They act as a bridge between cleansing and moisturising, helping skin transition smoothly between steps.
Skipping toner means missing out on one of skincare’s most essential balancing acts. But using the right toner is just as important as using one at all, and that’s were having two comes in handy.
Toner spotlight: 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner
If you’re dealing with oily, combination or blemish-prone skin, the T.N. Dickinson’s 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner is your go-to.
This classic formula is made from 100% natural, distilled witch hazel and no artificial fragrances or dyes. It gently removes excess oil, helps to tighten pores and refreshes skin without over-drying. Its astringent properties help tone and clarify the complexion, making it especially useful during times when your skin is oilier than usual, like in the warmer months or around hormonal changes.
It’s also an ideal toner for:
- Post-shave care (to calm and tone skin)
- After exfoliation (to soothe and remove remaining debris)
- Targeting blemishes or problem areas
Lightweight, fast-absorbing and effective, it’s the multitasking staple every skincare routine should have.
Toner spotlight: Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Moisturising Toner
For drier, more sensitive skin types, hydration is the name of the game – and our Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Moisturising Toner delivers exactly that.
This toner pairs Witch Hazel’s gentle toning properties with a blend of aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and glycerin to calm and replenish the skin. It’s free from alcohol, making it ideal for anyone with delicate skin or who experiences irritation with stronger astringents.
A few reasons to reach for this toner:
- Soothes redness and dryness in winter
- Supports a healthy skin barrier
- Layers beautifully under moisturisers and serums
It’s the perfect match for skin that needs gentle toning and a moisture boost.
When to use both: tailoring your toner use
Just like your wardrobe changes with the weather, your skincare should evolve with your skin’s needs. The beauty of having both toners on hand is the flexibility it offers.
Here’s how you can mix and match:
- Seasonal changes: Use the 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner in summer to control oil and sweat and switch to the Alcohol-Free Moisturising Toner in winter when skin becomes drier and more sensitive.
- Hormonal cycles: Skin can become oilier at certain times of the month – use the natural toner on breakout-prone days and return to the moisturising formula when your skin calms down.
- Skin zoning: If you have combination skin, try using the 100% Natural Toner on your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), where oil production is higher and the Moisturising Toner on your cheeks or other dry areas.
This targeted approach ensures your skin gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
