A toner has many functions, and is more than just a way to get cleaner skin. It consists of some pretty powerful components that help adjust pH, close pores, increase cell turnover, nourish and protect.

But what does each ingredient in a toner actually do?

Acetic Acid
Also known more commonly simply as vinegar. It acts as an antibacterial as well as an anti-fungal while keeping skin's pH adjusted.

Use a toner with acetic acid if you have normal skin.
