🌼 My Holy Trinity of Toners: 3 Faves on My Vanity

Hey everyone! I was organizing my skincare stash the other day and snapped a pic, and I figured I’d share some quick reviews of the three toners that showed up in the photo. These are my current go-to toners that I keep stocked and reach for regularly

 

Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad

Torriden Dive In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner

Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad

 

Each one does something totally different, and I rotate them depending on how my skin feels that day. Here are my thoughts—packaging, texture, scent, and how they actually perform (sorry, no BS here, just honest teenage opinions!)

 

1. Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch 🍃

✨ Packaging & First Impression

It comes in a sturdy white tub with a clean, clinical aesthetic—nothing flashy, just super practical. 

🌿 Texture & Scent

The pads are generously soaked, thin but strong, with a slightly rough mesh side and a smooth side. They don’t tear or dry out fast, which I love. The scent is super faint—like barely-there plant water.

💆‍♀️ Performance

This is my go-to when my skin’s acting up or feels a little irritated. It really does calm things down without leaving any residue. Doesn’t sting active pimples either. Just a solid, gentle reset pad.

 

2. Torriden Dive In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner 💧

✨ Packaging & First Impression

This one’s in a tall, transparent bottle—very pretty. The liquid inside is a light sky-blue, so the bottle glows with that soft water color. Minimalist label, white cap—it’s one of the most calming bottles I own.

💦 Texture & Scent

It feels like slightly thicker water—not gloopy or sticky at all. No noticeable scent, which is perfect when I want something that won’t clash with other steps.

🫧 Performance

When my skin feels tight or dehydrated, this is the one I reach for. The Torriden toner layers beautifully and absorbs super fast. My face always feels plump afterward, even without using a heavy cream. Doesn’t pill with other products, either.

 

3. Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad 🍋

✨ Packaging & First Impression

The tub is bright yellow and cheerful, totally stands out on my shelf. It feels a bit more playful than the other two. It also comes with little tweezers for hygienic access.

🟡 Texture & Scent

The pads are juicy and thicker than Abib’s. They glide easily and feel cushiony. The scent is... citrusy-ish? Almost like vitamin water.

🌞 Performance

This one’s my brightening boost. I don’t use it daily, but when my skin looks dull or I feel like I need a bit of glow, I swipe on the Numbuzin pad before serum. I’ve noticed it helps fade small marks faster, especially after breakouts. No sting, but it does make me want to double-check my SPF the next morning!

 

Final Thoughts – Why I Stash All Three

I get asked why I keep all three instead of picking just one.

Abib Spot Pad: Calm inflammation & redness – for angry breakouts or hot skin

Torriden Toner: Hydration and reset – when skin feels dry or tight

Numbuzin Pad: Brighten dark marks – to fade PIH and even out tone

Each one addresses a different skin need. I mix and match depending on how my skin feels that day. My vanity pic isn’t just pretty—it’s my strategic skin support station 😂

 

Wrap-up

These three have earned their place in my routine because they’re simple, effective, and skin-sensitive. No flashy ingredients, no tricky formulations—just clean, purposeful toners that do their jobs.

If you’re a teen or just starting low-maintenance skincare, I think any one of these would be easy to integrate. For me, using all three helps me feel secure that my skin is cared for, soothing, hydrated, and working towards glow—without stress.

Hope this helps someone figure out which toner to try next! If you’ve used any of these (or have suggestions for my next toner!), let me know—always excited to chat skincare ✨

    Abib leaves no film at all, but numbuzin felt a bit sticky. Probably because of the vitamins
