Toners are not necessarily a must-have skin-care step for everyone, but if you have mature skin that is drier than ever and a skin barrier that could use some extra support, a toner may be more beneficial than you think. Why? Collagen production starts waning in our 20s—picking up steam as we age—and collagen plays a major role in skin’s elasticity, firmness and moisture retention. Using a toner can help rebalance moisture levels as natural levels decrease. “Look for a hydrating toner with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin and/or aloe vera, which can add moisture,” Megan Picurro, director of marketing for Mario Badescu, previously told NewBeauty. Other ingredients that’ll replenish and support mature skin include niacinamide, peptides, ceramides and antioxidants. Ahead, the 11 toners for mature skin to deal with everything from dryness, uneven skin texture, wrinkles, discoloration and more age-related concerns.
1 / 11
Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner($18)
“This toner is Martha Stewart’s favorite and is excellent for promoting cell turnover,” Picurro previously revealed. With soothing aloe vera, plus glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation and refreshing grapefruit, skin immediately feels softer and smoother.
2 / 11
Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Toner ($48)
With three different types of rose—rose fruit extract, damask rose extract and rose oil—plus hyaluronic acid, Fresh’s hydrating toner addresses skin dryness and dehydration while refining skin texture and reversing dullness.
3 / 11
CeraVe Hydrating Toner ($10)
Jam-packed with ceramides, lipids, humectants and antioxidants, CeraVe‘s Hydrating Toner, proves, once again that drugstore skin care can yield major results. Straightforward and skin-supporting, it leaves skin soft, plump and ready to drink up your moisturizer.
4 / 11
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence ($99)
Technically an essence, not a toner (yes, there is a difference), SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essence is a powerful hydrator that uses a 90 percent PITERA formulation as a retinol and vitamin C alternative, per the brand. Its ability to target visible signs of aging in one step claims its spot on this list.
5 / 11
Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Serum Toner ($39)
Another hybrid product comes from Dr. Jart+. The Ceramidin Skin Barrier Serum Toner is just that: a serum/toner hybrid packed with ceramides, one of the must-have ingredients for a healthy skin barrier, plus moisturizing panthenol.
6 / 11
Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer ($36)
Think glass skin isn’t an option for skin of a certain age? Think again. From Laneige comes this refillable milky cream/toner hybrid made of ceramides, peptides and white leaf tea, a skin soother full of amino acids. Use it before a heavier moisturizer, as your main face cream or even as a face mist—it comes with a mist attachment for on-the-go hydration.
7 / 11
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner ($19)
The nourishing rice extracts and hydrating glycerin and hyaluronic acid in Haruharu’s toner help alleviate skin tightness, soothe inflammation and enhance skin radiance. Its unscented formula is especially great for sensitive skin types.
8 / 11
Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner ($30)
This dermatologist-recommended, alcohol-free toner from Kiehl’s smooths rough skin texture, reduces redness and cleanses excess oils with antioxidant-rich and soothing calendula. It’s an especially great pick if large pores are another area of concern.

Environ Skin EssentiA Botanical Infused Moisturising Toner ($56)
Environ’s EssentiA toner “contains a gentle blend of moisturizing extracts, niacinamide and AHA lactic acid, which will help soften the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone and blemishes,” aesthetician Nichelle Temple, founder ofInderma Studio, previously shared with NewBeauty.
10 / 11
TULA Secret Solution Pro-Glycolic 10% Resurfacing Treatment Toner ($46)
Glycolic acid (an AHA) is a favorite of dermatologists because of its stellar reputation as an anti-aging exfoliator. Secret Solution, TULA’s unique gel-toner hybrid, combines glycolic acid with skin-balancing probiotics, hydrating superstar hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich blueberry and mushroom extracts to smooth, brighten and refresh aging skin.
11 / 11
Farmacy Honey Milk Hydrating Essence ($34)
We couldn’t help adding one more essence to the list. Farmacy’s Honey Milk drenches skin with hydration and antioxidants, thanks to Hawaiian white honey, ceramides and redness-reducing chamomile. The dewy glow it delivers visibly reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
