I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cosmetic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for toner that I've seen before include "Material for printer" , "Skin-cleansing lotion" , "Skin improver" , "Black or coloured powder used in a printer" , "Lotion for cleansing the skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
