Clean & Clear Advantage Toner Review

Normal to Dry skin people...STEP AWAY FROM THIS TONER! I can't speak for people with oily skin but as someone who suffers from skin which can become quite dry on days this product was literally my worst nightmare! No matter how well I moisturized after using this product my skin felt tight and dry and uncomfortable. The areas of my skin that were usually only bordering on dry became just as flaky and dry as the rest of my face. My cheeks and nose became red and even after several applications of moisturizer my skin felt permanently uncomfortable. It took a few weeks to save my skin after only using this product for 8 or 9 days. I will never touch it again!

I was gifted this in a pack along with the moisturiser and also the pimple control cleanser.

I found this product to be very strong smelling, often overwhelming. I had to often hold my breath as it smelt strongly of alcohol.

The packaging is cute, but the product is not.

Whilst using this product, and the others, I found them to burn my normal to combination skin, which often left it red and sore for hours afterwards.

Because of this, I would not personally recommend it for anyone else as I've had such a bad experience with it - although this may just be my experience.

Not recommended for dry skin! My skin type is dry-normal and this product dried my skin out something terrible.

I used this as part of the whole Clean & Clear Advanced kit, and while I love the rest of the kit, I had to stop using the toner.

The best way to use is by pouring a small amount of the product onto a cotton pad and wipe the pad over your face (after cleansing). It is a water-based toner and does a pretty good job at removing excess dirt and makeup from the skin.

The scent is a very strong alcohol-type smell which I didn't mind, but if you don't like strong smelling products, you won't like this.

The packaging is very clean and basic, and it matches it's price point perfectly. Definitely a well priced product.

If you have oily skin, this product is a great choice for you as it works well and is affordable. If you have dry skin however, I definitely do not recommend you use this. This dried out my skin pretty badly and actually made my nose peel. Once I cut out this toner from my routine and used some intense moisturiser for a while the problem was resolved so I was able to definitely pinpoint the issues to the toner.

I bought this in a little pack I have normal skin and I hated it eeekkk it dried out my skin so bad and it was quiet strong smelling. my skin never really dries up from products but after "toning" my skin felt so tight and dry luckily i only got the small bottle i wouldn't recommend it based on my personal experience and i wouldn't buy it again that's for sure

I was so excited to try this product as my first ever toner. It was on special for $5 at the warehouse so I just had to buy it.... Now I absolutely regret it!! My skin has never looked so bad. My forehead is covered in acne and on both sides of my cheeks I have one bright red pimple :( I'm absolutely guttered!! I thought that because I already use the essentials range, that my skin wouldn't react to this toner but I could not have been more wrong.

It didn't burn or irritate my skin at all when I applied it so I thought it would be ok, so for the next few days I carried on with my routine, hoping to eventually see better looking skin, instead, I broke out like crazy. And I hadn't tried any new products but that one (just in case something does happen to your skin, you want to be able to pin point exactly which product doesn't agree with you). I'm glad I only paid $5 for this, straight in the bin it goes.

I use the matching moisturiser and absolutely love it so decided to chuck this into the mix and see how it went. It comes in a small bottle with a flip top lid.

I like to pour a little amount on a cotton ball then swipe around my face after cleansing.  It has a strong alcohol scent which I hate. My skin is sensitive and dry. Boy did this sting! It made my face feel super hot and turned a lovely shade of red.

My skin felt so tight and angry. It definitely is not suited for sensitive skin. I think it should be specifically for oily skin. I won't say it is an awful product as that doesn't seem fair, it is just not suited for my skin type. So do a patch test first and see if it suits you.

When I was using this I had oily skin and breakouts. My skin is now dry and I very rarely get breakouts.

I am not really a fan of toners but I got this as a part of a kit and decided to try it. To be honest I really didn't like this as it really dried my skin out - even though when I was using it my skin was oily. This also seemed to aggravate my naturally red cheeks - maybe it was an ingredient in here? Whatever the reason, I really didn't like that it did this.

This felt really uncomfortable on my skin - it felt tight and dry. I used it every day for a week before giving it to my then boyfriend, as I just really didn't like how it made my skin feel and look.

I wouldn't really recommend this just because it made my cheeks redder and made my oily skin dry. I can't say if it did anything for breakouts as I only used it for a week. I wouldn't ever use this again, however - particularly as my skin is now dry. I'd also be hesitant to use it even if my skin was oily.

I've used this stuff lots over the years, but it burns to much i actually water it down and then it wasn't so bad. It did remove left over oil & grime crap that the cleanser didn't get but because of the burning I would not use it again

I had never used a toner before until I purchased the kit with all of the advantage pimple control products in it. Unfortunately this toner made my skin feel very rubbery and dry when using it, which was so disappointing! On the plus side, my skin did clear up when using this system, but I don't think it was just this product alone.
