This stuff STINKS! Smells of chemicals, but appeared to have no adverse effects on my face such as stinging or reactions. This is the product that I have utilised the least out of the range and do not think it is completely necessary (haha just being honest!). The packaging is super cute purple and pink and clearly states the function of the toner. The actual toner does appear to reduce oil on the face WHICH IS A MIRACLE FOR ME! So yes it does work. There is a wee clip on lid that slots onto the nozzle which I have lost already. Overall I enjoyed testing this product but would not purchase again as the other products in this range performed at a higher level.
Tips: Do not use right before putting on makeup...foundation will go patchy and I noticed if it is a water based foundation it can separate which I found interesting. Using before bed appeared to be the prime time!
I was excited by the easy use of a spray toner and found it a nice an refreshing feeling to use and easy when in a rush. However I found my skin didn't love this toner and it created an oily appearance after a short amount of time and my sensitive skin developed a irritated feeling. This is a personal experience and hopefully one that other people would not have.
I have naturally oily skin with quite clogged pores, so I brought this toner to help close my pores after cleansing. The toner comes in a beautiful pink, white, and silver spray bottle. I loved the idea of a mist toner, as this would save time rather than a classic toner you have to apply with a cotton pad, but the packaging made this mist toner inefficient. I found the toner did not spray in a mist, and rather in big chunky uneven droplets (perhaps my packaging was fault though), which made this awkward to use, especially as you are to close your eyes when you use this but because of the large droplets, a lot of would often fall on my eyelashes and sting my eyes. This doesn't smell too bad for a toner, there's no overpowering alcohol smell which is a plus. I found this made my acne problems far worse. Whereas before my skin was oily, this made it overwhelmingly dry, and scabby. I often felt a sticky feeling after using this and it would take a really long time to dry, and when it did my skin would be feeling ridiculously dehydrated. In addition, this didn't really do anything for me a toner is supposed to do or even close up my pores. I think this just wasn't a fit for my skin type and I won't purchase this again.
I must say this isn’t my favourite mist toner. It has a really sweet smell, but makes my skin feel a bit sticky. It has a nice even spray.. make sure to hold from arms length. I don’t think that this is a necessary product in the regime. It could be missed, and id still have a good outcome (of great looking skin). It is lovely and refreshing on a hot day and after washing my face in the shower.
Tips: Hold at arms length
I trialled this mist toner when BR sent me the whole Essano Clear Complexion range. Unfortunately, I cannot give a complete review of this product as the two times I used it my face went bright red and hot in some sort of reaction to it. As a result I gave it to a friend, as it's clearly not for me, and she loved it! There must just be one ingredient in it that is not in the other products in the range that my skin reacted badly with. The product smells lovely and worked well for my friend, so I'm sure it's fine for most people. I don't usually have allergic reactions to anything or have sensitive skin - just an unlucky one this time!
This toner made me break out :( I have combination, sensitive skin and I was excited to give this a go. Applying it, it did feel refreshing. However it did nothing to help my skin and instead made it worse. Aside from giving me pimples, right after I applied it my skin went red. I passed it on to a friend (who normally has near perfect skin) and a couple of days later noticed she had a big zit :( Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but I should have just thrown it away.
Tips: Save your money
As someone with oily and blemished skin, I rely on toners to further clarify and soothe my skin. As the cleanser in this range was quiet gentle I was hoping this toner would add an extra bit of oomph.
This was very dissappointing....The mister on this bottle is terrible, it just squirts a bit of product onto the skin, rather than creating a mist. I had to use four sprays to get the main parts of my face and then rub it in.
I also the product to be quiet thick, which didn't work well with the mister and left my skin feeling sticky. It didn't really absorb until I added the moisturizer.
Normally with toners I find the help clean my pores and balance my skin. I don't feel like this did anything. Although my skin was less oily, I can't confidently contribute that to this product. I wouldn't use this again, and although it works well if you use the regime of products I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone product.
Tips: If your set on trying this, decant it into a different mister bottle as the mister on this is terrible. Use with other products in the Essano Clear complexion range for best results.
I really enjoyed the scent of this toner and it felt nice on the skin but i have used it for over a year and cant really tell if its actually toning my skin. I like using it as its organic and thats why ive continued to use it even though im unsure if it does anything. It is affordable and the packaging is nice.
