What does an oil balancing toner do?

An oil balancing toner is designed to absorb excess surface oil, control shine, and refine skin texture. Thayers Oil Balancing Jelly Toner uses Green Kaolin Clay and Niacinamide to provide an instant soft-matte finish and reduce the appearance of pores over time without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

How often should I use a balancing toner?

For best results, you should use Thayers Oil Balancing Jelly Toner twice daily, in the morning and at night, immediately after cleansing and before applying your serums and moisturizers.

How does balancing toner benefit oily skin?

It helps regulate excess sebum production, minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores, and prevents the greasy shine that often occurs throughout the day. It provides these benefits while delivering lightweight hydration, ensuring oily skin stays balanced rather than dehydrated.

Is oil balancing toner good for combination skin?

Yes! Thayers Oil Balancing Jelly Toner is perfect for combination skin because it targets oily areas (like the T-zone) to control shine and minimize pores, while still providing gentle, lightweight hydration to drier areas of the face.

What does kombucha, niacinamide, and green kaolin clay do for the skin?

In our formula, 2% Niacinamide acts as a pore reducing toner agent to minimize pores and even skin tone; Green Kaolin Clay naturally absorbs excess surface oil and controls shine; and Kombucha Filtrate clarifies and balances the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.

Does it contain drying alcohols or fragrance?

No. Thayers Oil Balancing Jelly Toner is 100% free of drying alcohols and is completely fragrance-free. This ensures that it purifies and controls oil gently without causing irritation, dryness, or sensitivity.

Does oil balancing toner help shrink my pores?
