Medik8 Daily Refresh Balancing Toner - 150ml

Does your skin feel tight after cleansing, does your T-zone shine, or are you dealing with blemishes and visible pores? Then one step is often missing from your routine: a toner that rebalances the skin instead of drying it out. The Medik8 Daily Refresh Balancing Toner is an ultra-gentle, alcohol-free formula enriched with chamomile and rosemary floral waters. It restores your skin's optimal pH level right after cleansing and creates the perfect canvas for the rest of your routine, helping active ingredients absorb more effectively.

How it works

This multi-tasking formula works on several levels at once. Witch Hazel acts as a natural astringent to visibly minimise the look of pores. Aloe Vera and Allantoin soothe and condition, leaving skin calmer after cleansing. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) delivers anti-inflammatory benefits and reinforces the skin barrier, while a prebiotic complex with Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide keeps the skin's microbiome in balance for a healthier-looking, more even complexion. Glycerin adds an extra layer of hydration.

Texture and where it fits in your routine

The texture is light and water-like, absorbs instantly and leaves no film behind. Because it is completely alcohol-free, it suits even the most sensitive skin, as well as an oily T-zone or dry, reactive skin. Use it morning and evening as step 2, after your cleanser (such as Surface Radiance Cleanse) and before your serum and moisturiser. In the CSA routine the toner comes before your vitamin C in the morning and before Crystal Retinal at night. Avoid the immediate eye area.

Frequently asked questions

Which step of the CSA routine is this toner?

Straight after cleansing and before your actives: in the morning before vitamin C and SPF, at night before vitamin A.

Can I combine it with Crystal Retinal or vitamin C?

Yes. The toner is alcohol-free and soothing, making it an ideal prep step; apply your serum afterwards while skin is still slightly damp.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is deliberately alcohol-free and contains Aloe Vera and Allantoin, so it suits even the most sensitive skin types.

The Daily Refresh Balancing Toner restores the skin's natural pH balance after cleansing, so skin feels calmer and the actives in your serum absorb more effectively. Witch Hazel works as a mild natural astringent to visibly minimise pores. Aloe Vera and Allantoin soothe and condition, while Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) reinforces the skin barrier and offers anti-inflammatory benefits. A prebiotic complex with Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide keeps the microbiome in balance, and glycerin plus chamomile and rosemary floral waters add hydration and freshness. The alcohol-free formula is suitable for daily use.

After cleansing, apply the toner to a cotton pad or spritz it directly onto cleansed skin. Gently pat over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Use morning and evening before applying your serum and moisturiser. In the morning follow with vitamin C and SPF; at night follow with your vitamin A. Suitable for daily use.

Immediately after use skin feels fresh, calm and conditioned rather than tight. With regular use pores look more refined and the complexion appears more even and radiant. Because skin is balanced, serums absorb better, making your whole routine work harder for you.
