Overview
ZO Skin Health's Calming Toner, previously sold as ZO Medical Balatone, is a 6 ounce liquid toner built around glycolic acid and soothing agents like allantoin and panthenol, targeted at dry skin.
The name change from Balatone to Calming Toner reflects a rebrand rather than a reformulation, so buyers searching for the older name should confirm they're getting the same 180ml bottle. Its active list pairs an exfoliating acid with several calming and hydrating agents, an unusual combination for a toner marketed on soothing.
- Formerly sold as ZO Medical Balatone
- 6 fluid ounce liquid toner
- Glycolic acid plus allantoin and panthenol
- Unscented, for dry skin
Who it's for
Aimed at people with dry skin looking for a toner that combines mild exfoliation with barrier-supporting ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and panthenol. Less suited to oily or acne-prone skin types, since the listing specifies dry skin only.
