Toner Serum Hybrid
2-in-1 Toner Serum for Combination, Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
Two steps in one — prep and treat together.
homeApothec's Toner Serum Hybrid is a 2-in-1 toner and serum for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin. It restores pH after cleansing and delivers actives — niacinamide, witch hazel water, and zinc PCA — into freshly prepared skin in a single step. Alcohol-free, steroid-free, and free from animal-derived ingredients. One step that does the work of two without compromising on either function.

Why you need it
Most toners are water with fragrance. Most serums are expensive actives on an unstable base. The Toner Serum Hybrid does both jobs — it sweeps away surface residue and adjusts pH the way a good toner should, then delivers actives into freshly prepped skin the way a serum should. For oily skin, the step between cleansing and the rest of your routine is where most people go wrong: either they skip it entirely or they use something so harsh it triggers more oil. This replaces two products and does the job better than either alone.
Key benefits
The formulation
What's in it and why
Witch hazel provides the toning action without the alcohol harshness of conventional toners — it tightens and clarifies without stripping. Niacinamide targets pore appearance and sebum regulation. Green tea and centella calm the inflammation that makes oily skin look red and reactive after cleansing. The formula sits at a slightly acidic pH to restore the acid mantle that cleansing disrupts — so by the time you apply anything else, your skin is in optimal condition to receive it. Light enough to feel like a toner. Active enough to do the work of a serum.
This is for you if
- ✓Your skin is oily, combination, or acne-prone
- ✓Your current toner leaves skin tight, dry, or stripped
- ✓You want to simplify your routine without losing effectiveness
- ✓You want to target pore size, sebum balance, and uneven tone in one step
May not suit you if
- →Your skin is dry and needs lipid replenishment rather than toning
- →You have skin sensitive to actives like niacinamide

Questions about this product
Common questions answered
The formulation
Why it works
Waterless
No water means every millilitre is active ingredient. No dilution. No preservatives to fight contamination from water.
8-week infusion
Plant compounds need time to fully transfer. We slow-infuse for 8 weeks — not hours — so the concentration is something you can feel.
Steroid-free always
No steroids. No synthetic fragrance. No ingredients your skin has to fight. Just botanicals doing what they were made to do.
