No!  The Skin Balancer is not to be confused with any ordinary toner or astringent.  There are no harsh damaging ingredients, just the natural healing properties of Emerald Aloe.  Its function is to remove residue from tap water after rinsing and bring your skin’s pH back into balance.  The Balancer is so gentle you can even use it to remove eye makeup or lipstick.  Don’t skip this important step as it works to keep skin healthier and younger.
