Dr. Sufia’s Green Tea Face Toner — For Oily & Combination Skin
A science-backed toner formulated by Dr. Sufia Shaikh (20+ years in dermatology and formulation) to control excess sebum, refine pores and support a balanced, comfortable complexion—without over-drying.
Dealing with oily skin can feel like an endless cycle—cleansing in the morning only to notice shine a few hours later. After treating thousands of clients with oily and combination skin, Dr. Sufia developed this targeted toner to address the root causes of oiliness while preserving your skin’s natural barrier.
The formula pairs Green Tea Extract (oil regulation and pore refinement) with gentle Lactic Acid for mild exfoliation, a fermented black tea extract to support a healthy skin microbiome, Licorice Root to soothe irritation, and Hyaluronic Acid for lightweight hydration—resulting in balanced, clearer skin without tightness.
How This Product Will Help You
- Controls Excess Oil & Shine Green tea extract works as a natural astringent to tighten pores and help regulate sebum production throughout the day.
- Refines Skin Texture Gentle lactic acid exfoliates surface dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores and reduce dullness.
- Supports a Balanced Microbiome Fermented black tea extract (Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment) helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and strengthens skin resilience.
- Soothes & Calms Irritation Licorice root extract helps minimise redness, sensitivity and post-acne marks.
- Hydrates Without Greasiness Hyaluronic acid delivers lightweight hydration so skin feels fresh and balanced—not oily.
- Works With Your Skin, Not Against It A gentle, non-stripping formula that trains skin to regulate oil naturally rather than over-drying and causing rebound oiliness.
Controls Shine All Day
Green tea’s natural astringent properties keep excess oil in check, giving you that coveted matte finish from morning to night.
Minimizes Pore Appearance
Regular use helps tighten enlarged pores, creating a smoother, more refined skin texture that looks great even without makeup.
Prevents Breakouts
The antimicrobial properties of green tea and fermented extracts help keep acne-causing bacteria at bay, reducing future breakouts.
Gentle Exfoliation
Lactic acid removes dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing, revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath.
Balances Without Drying
Unlike alcohol-based toners, this formula maintains your skin’s moisture barrier while controlling oil production.
Soothes Irritation
Licorice root extract and allantoin calm redness and inflammation, perfect for sensitive oily skin.
Improves Skin Texture
With consistent use, you’ll notice smoother, more even-toned skin that feels as good as it looks.
Green Tea Extract
This powerhouse ingredient is why I chose it as the star of this face toner for oily skin. Rich in antioxidants called catechins, green tea naturally controls sebum production while protecting your skin from environmental damage. It’s been proven to reduce acne-causing bacteria and minimize pore size.
Lactic Acid
One of the gentlest alpha hydroxy acids, lactic acid provides mild exfoliation that’s perfect for oily skin. It helps unclog pores, fade post-acne marks, and improve overall skin texture without the irritation that comes with harsher acids.
Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment
This fermented extract is a game-changer for oily skin. The fermentation process creates beneficial probiotics that help balance your skin’s natural microbiome, reducing inflammation and supporting your skin’s ability to heal itself.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, licorice root helps calm irritated skin and can even help fade dark spots left behind by breakouts. It’s particularly beneficial for those with sensitive oily skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
Even oily skin needs hydration, and hyaluronic acid is the perfect ingredient for the job. It holds up to 1000 times its weight in water, keeping your skin plump and hydrated without adding any greasiness.
Propanediol & Glycerine
These humectants work together to maintain your skin’s moisture balance, ensuring the toner doesn’t leave your face feeling tight or uncomfortable.
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil
Provides a refreshing, cooling sensation while offering antimicrobial properties that help keep pores clean and clear.
Allantoin
This gentle ingredient soothes and heals irritated skin, making it perfect for those dealing with active breakouts or post-acne sensitivity.
How to Use
Step 1: After cleansing your face with your regular cleanser, pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Apply the toner to a cotton pad or spray directly onto clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
Step 3
Gently pat or sweep the toner across your face, focusing on oily areas like your T-zone, chin, and forehead.
Step 4
Allow the toner to fully absorb (about 30 seconds) before applying your moisturizer or serum.
Step 5
Use twice daily – morning and evening – for best results. Always follow with SPF during the day.

Why Dr. Sufia’s Wellness?
When I started my journey in dermatology over two decades ago, I noticed a gap in the market. Most products for oily skin were either too harsh, leaving people with tight, irritated faces, or too gentle to make any real difference. That’s when I decided to create my own line.
Dr. Sufia’s Wellness represents everything I’ve learned about effective, gentle skincare. Each ingredient in this face toner for oily skin has been chosen based on clinical research and real-world results I’ve seen in my practice. I don’t believe in using filler ingredients or trendy components that don’t actually benefit your skin.
What sets us apart is our commitment to formulating products that work for real people with real skin concerns. I’ve personally tested every formula, and I continue to refine our products based on feedback from customers who trust us with their skin. When you choose Dr. Sufia’s Wellness, you’re not just buying a product – you’re investing in decades of expertise and a genuine commitment to your skin’s health.
