Facial Cleansers & Toners

Cleansing your skin is a fundamental step in any skincare routine. Whether you're winding down for the night or starting your day, removing impurities from your face is crucial for maintaining healthy-looking skin.

Clarins’ range of facial cleansers is formulated to help maintain the skin's natural balance, preventing the build-up of oils and debris that can lead to breakouts and redness. For those seeking a gentle yet effective cleanser for face, a product like Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk can offer thorough cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, ideal for normal to dry skin types.

Choosing a facial cleanser is a personal preference, depending on your skin's specific needs. You might prefer Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk that glides over your skin or Clarins Cleansing Micellar Water's light formula.

A two-in-one cleanser and toner like Clarins’ One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Orange Extract purifies your skin while enhancing its natural softness and glow, preparing you for a radiant start the next day.

For those seeking a refreshing cleansing experience, My Clarins RE-MOVE Purifying Cleansing Gel offers a pristine cleanse, perfect for both morning and evening routines.

Both products ultimately do the same job – cleanse your face and remove make-up, oil and dirt. Your night time beauty routine can include either product, as both have the same deep-cleansing effect. If you like to use water on your face, choose a foaming cleanser (also called a facial wash) such as Clarins Purifying Gentle Foaming Cleanser, which contains a natural lathering ingredient that doesn't dry out your skin like soap.

Combine a face wash with Clarins Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover to ensure comfort. Available in purifying, hydrating and soothing formulas, each has been carefully developed for different skin types using natural origin ingredients.

In a facial routine, facial cleansers and toners are quite distinct products; however, we typically advise combining the two. This is due to the fact that a cleanser will generally loosen and remove debris, makeup, and sunscreen, but it may not always remove the smaller impurities that we have on our skin. Using a face toner after cleansing will not only clear these remaining but also preserve the balance of skin microbiota. Some toners also have extra care, such as hydrating, soothing or purifying your skin complexion, so prepare for the next skincare steps.

A facial toner completes the cleansing routine and wipes away any cleanser or facial wash. Balancing your skin's pH and helping to reduce any large pores, a facial toner should be an essential part of your cleansing routine.

It leaves your skin feeling toned and radiant and prepares it to absorb moisturisers or serums. Clarins Soothing Toning Lotion, containing gentle plant extracts, is the perfect toner for dry or sensitive skin that needs a soothing treatment each night.

My Clarins PURE-RESET Purifying Matifying Toner, mattifies, rebalances and purifies combinations to oily skin types.

To keep the skin on your face looking vibrant, you should use a facial toner after cleansing. Clarins facial toners remove traces of cleanser and remaining impurities.

You may prefer to cleanse and tone both morning and night or spend more time on your skincare routine in the evening.

If you don't have time for a full cleanse in the morning, use a facial wash in the shower, followed by a facial toner. The natural origin ingredients in Clarins toners prepare the skin for moisturising, whether morning or night.
