I prefer exfoliating toner, in the serums, I prefer them to hydrate, soothe and reduce blemishes 

aah! thats actually make sense tho ✨ thank you!

I prefer exfoliating toners, as serums tend to be in much Higher concentrations and my skin is sensitive 🙈🤍 But I do have some good exfoliating serums I use Once a while (mostly with PHAs) so It makes it harder to choose between them

For example both serums and toners contain 2% Salicylic Acid, do you still think that the serum ones has higher strength? 

Well im used to toners having Also some Soothing ingredients whereas serums just aim to target one concern and consist of one main solving ingredient (product from product might differ ofc) so that's Also why I prefer toners 🥰 but if the concentrations are both 2% serums might be easier to apply when they are in a package with a pipette. I would still do a patch test of both because salicylic acid (for me at least) IS drying. 🙈

Personally for my sensitive skin, I prefer exfoliating toners & then following up with hydrating serums. ☺️

thank youu! thats a great idea 🙋‍♀️

im currently using serum, im using 2% salicylic acid exfo serum, once every 2 days so 3/weeks, so far very gentle but give noticeable progress 

hmmm thats interesting! would u like to let me know which serum it is :p

I love exfoliating toners because I like to use exfoliators as the first layer or right after a hydrating toner. 🙂

me too! but i use serums too so i feel clueless
