What it does for you
- Your skin feels calmer and clearer after cleansing, according to LR.
- LR says the toner restores the skin’s natural pH after washing.
- Zinc, allantoin and panthenol strengthen the skin’s natural protective function, as LR states.
- It is alcohol-free, so it does not sting or dry the skin the way some toners do.
- LR describes it as suitable for every skin type.
Why does skin feel tight after a deep cleanse?
A good cleanse removes make-up, oil and dead skin cells, but it also shifts the skin’s natural balance for a while. Many people notice it as a slight tightness, a pink flush on the cheeks after exfoliating, or skin that feels a bit exposed until the moisturiser goes on. Old-fashioned toners with a lot of alcohol tend to make this worse.
The ZEITGARD Premium Facial Toner takes the opposite approach. LR made it alcohol-free and placed it as the second step of the Zeitgard routine, directly after the Face Cleansing Tool or the Face Peeling Tool. According to LR, it clarifies and calms the skin, brings it back to its natural pH and strengthens its natural protective function. Harungana extract adds a revitalising effect, and green tea and eucalyptus leaf extracts are also on the ingredient list.
It is a sensible step for anyone who uses the Zeitgard device, and especially for people who peel twice a week and want the skin to settle quickly afterwards.

How do you use it?
- After the brush: once you have cleansed with the Cleansing Cream and the Professional Cleansing Tool, use the toner to clarify the skin.
- After peeling: LR’s directions for the Face Peeling Tool say to apply the toner with a cleansing pad, to calm the skin and strengthen its barrier.
- Next step: follow with the Zeitgard day or night cream that suits your age and skin.

- Sensitive skin: LR calls it suitable for every skin type, but if your skin reacts easily, try it on a small area first.
