i like toner a lot...it helps with minor breakouts and keeps the oil at bay as well. i try not to ignore it.
Re: The importance of a toner.
I always tone but it also depends on the type of toner you have. It doesn't have to be a certain type, you can use rose water (comes in a spray bottle) or a thermal water like Avene's Thermal Water. For when I'm really dry or used a very cleansing cleanser, I use a hydrating toner like Bobbi Brown's Hydrating Toner. All of my toners are alcohol free because my skin is normal-combo and can be on the dry side sometimes.
That being said, toners are usually to correct the PH balance of skin after cleansing but if you use a serum, I don't see a reason to tone. But I could be wrong.
