Answer
You would have to wash your face for quite awhile to really get the pores to open with warm water, I use warm water and cleanse for one minute. The toner will help "close" any pores that may have opened a bit during the cleansing. And yes it's ok to apply moisturizer after toner at night. Toner helps remove any soapy residue from the skin and restores the skins ph balance so moisturizer will penetrate better.
