gentle toner ,but not pore reducing.

It is actually a very gentle toner , it does not burn my skin or cause any irritations ,but it does not do much more to my skin like shrinking the pores or reducing the acnes , it hydrates my skin a little bit ,but not causing it more oily .

HOLY GRAIL SKINCARE PRODUCT!

The past few years I have never used a toner as I always thought it was a fad and just something to waste money on that was never really needed. I thought I would give this a go to see if it made any difference to my skin and it has changed my skincare game FOREVER! My pores are smaller, skin is more toned and even and way less breakouts.

I soak a cotton ball and dab this over my skin every day after washing my face. It makes such a difference I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Tips: Use after cleansing - great for people with larger pores and blackheads

great toner

Ive always seemed to make my way back to Neutrogena product cleansers, I find them to be the best for my skin. this particular one is great for refining skin and cleansing pores. I wasnt totally loving the product but I did enjoy using it, it did seem to make my skin feel soft and hydrated

Need to tighten pores?

I have used this product in the past and found it was pretty good, a tiny bit stingy but felt like my pores were tightening up using this in tandem with the other products in the Neutrogena pore tightening range. However I purchased this product recently and for some reason my skin did not like it at all. It stung badly and after a week of evening perseverance I gave up. To the product a break I believe this wasn't the product but just my skin's has changed since last used some time ago. So I can't really say if it would have worked this time as I couldn't use it for long enough. I would recommend it to others due to prevous experience but would warn them that if their skin was sensitive or going through a sensitive patch just try a little first.

Tips: Test a little on a small section first.

I've had a change of tone!

I was never one to use toner. What's it for anyway!? It just seemed like yet another money grabbing skin care product that I don't even need. That was until I spoke to a professional recently about my skin concerns and she recommended I incorporate a toner in to my regime. So of course I took her advice and oh man I am glad I did!

I got the entire set of this brand. I got the facial wash and moisturiser to compliment this toner. I liked the fact that it refined pores because I have noticeable pores on my nose. I never knew what a toner did BUT now that I do, gosh have I been missing out! Or shall I say my skin has been missing out. I have always had dry patches and blotchy areas on my face so I had high hopes that this along with it's siblings would help me out in that department.

The bottle is quite simple and actually quite generous in size for the price I paid ($12.99). It is fuss free and gets to the point, all things I love! First I wash my face with the facial wash to remove any makeup and impurities on my face. I then come in with a twenty cent piece squirt of toner on a cotton pad. I smooth it over my face, concentrating on areas of problem like my nose, chin and forehead. After inspecting the pad I am both grossed out and pleased to see that the toner has removed any left over dirt and dead skin off my face.

After using this combination for the past 6 weeks I am over the bridge and half way to China about the results. My pores are visibly smaller and my face is fresh and most days oil free! Even though it was not my intention I have also noticed the laugh lines around my eyes are less crevice looking! I am overjoyed and can't wait to see what 3 months have in store results wise.

Tips: Use the wash, toner and moisturiser morning and night for best results

Would you like some toner with that smell?

A friend who knows a lot about skin gave me a few tips, and got me into some new skincare. While I waited to buy a Korean pH neutral toner, she suggested this as it is apparently one of the best available in the western skincare market (at least I think that's what she said!). I found mine at Countdown but I know they are available at Farmers too.

I paid between $14-$17 for mine, and for 250ml I thought it was reasonable. I've had mine for a few months and as I only use it when I use my AHA's and BHA's I haven't used a lot, so it's lasted a really long time so far. The liquid is clear and has a pleasant smell once you get passed the awful alcohol smell.

I put this on a cotton pad and wipe it over my face. I learned to wait after putting it on the cotton pad, as the alcohol smell is super potent and awful and I would end up coughing for ages, so be wary. Used with my acids it worked fine, and I liked it. I won't be repurchasing this as it wasn't pH neutral and the alcohol smell was just too much.

Pretty good toner :)

I haven't used very many toners in my life as I've only just recently realised the importance of a daily skin care regime but this one seems to work really well for me. It doesn't feel harsh on my skin and doesn't try it out like I've heard some toners do. I am yet to see any difference in my pores but other than that, I am happy with my purchase.

Tips: A little on a cotton pad goes a long way.

A GOOD TONER

I bought this because it contains alpha and beta hydroxy acids, which help to exfoliate skin and help with dark spots. This toner has helped to reduce the size of my pores. The product does smell of alcohol, but I wouldn't use it everyday as it could dry out the skin.Overall a good product if you could rotate it between a few other toners.

Tips: Don't use this everyday as it could dry out your skin.

it works

I love this toner, it also has witch-hazel in it, which give it the thumbs up from me, its definitely made a difference with pore size and spots, leave my skin feeling soft and smooth, so refreshing. love it

If does have a bit of a alcoholic smell to it, and does sting if you get in on any sore spots, but it does seem to work, it comes in a bigger size compared to other bottles, and is a good price as well.

I recommend this for those with oily skin.

Really drying out my skin!

I purchased this toner a few month ago and at the start I loved it! I remove my makeup with a cloth and a makeup remover from Germany and then I cleanse my face with The Neutrogena Depp Clean cleanser and after that I use the Toner. My skin felt cleaner and my pores looked smaller. But after 2 weeks of using it day and night my skin started to be really dry and red straight away after I used it. So I stopped using it twice daily and used it once a day or once every other day! With doing this my skin looks still better but it doesn't dry it out!

So if you have very oily skin and looking for a toner to control this as well as your pores give it a try !

Tips: Only use it once a day or once every other day if you experiencing dryness!!!
