Skin Care: Astringent Facial Toner Gel
by Lubrizol
This astringent gel tones and tightens skin, while removing oil from the pores. The AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer (26%) serves as a film-former and provides the tightening effect, while the PEG-33 and PEG-8 Dimethicone and PEG-14leaves the skin with a smooth, conditioned feel.
Astringents
Category overviewAstringents are clear to slightly tinted liquids that tighten pores and remove excess oil from the skin. They work by contracting proteins in the skin, reducing shine and refining texture, making them ideal for toners, acne treatments, and aftershaves.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Witch hazel, tannins, and aluminum salts. The trend favors botanical-based astringents for gentler skin care. Sub-types range from alcohol-based versions for deep cleansing to hydrating formulas for sensitive skin. Regulations focus on balancing efficacy with skin tolerance.
