A toner is used to balance your skin’s PH level and get rid of any other impurities left on your skin after cleansing. They can also have other skincare benefits like oil control or evening out the skintone depending on which one.

An essence is most commonly used in Korean Skincare as a way to best prepare your skin for the rest of your routine. It can add vital nutrients to the skin while prepping the skin for your serum.

Although the Korean way is to apply an essence after your toner (that 10-step system can be a bit much to some), it's OK to replace your regular toner with an essence if you're looking for more hydration in your routine.
