Cleansing water for the face: Why a tonic is essential
After cleansing with water, lime residues often remain on the skin, which can damage the acid mantle. A facial tonic neutralizes these residues and provides immediate rehydration.
- pH balance: It restores the skin's slightly acidic environment.
- Effect enhancer: A facial toner makes the stratum corneum more receptive to subsequent serums and creams.
- Pore refinement: The clarifying ingredients immediately make the skin appear finer and more even.

Expert knowledge: Why alcohol-free makes the difference
In classic facial cleansing, tonics with a high alcohol content were often used for disinfection. However, this can weaken the skin barrier and lead to dehydration. Chris Farrell therefore consistently uses alcohol-free formulas. This clarifies the skin while retaining its valuable moisture – for a noticeably revitalized and harmonious complexion.
Pro tip: The tonic compress
For particularly stressed areas of skin, you can also use your facial toner as an active ingredient compress. Soak a cotton pad (e.g., with Sensitive Skin Tonic) and place it on the reddened areas for about 10 minutes. The soothing plant extracts can then take effect intensively and immediately relieve feelings of tightness.
