I've been using this for a year. Im 55 and last year I noticed my pores were enlarged and my skin looked dull and gross even though I've been taking care of my skin since I was 10 years old. I discovered this on Amazon and now I never let it run out. Within weeks my skin looked healthy, bright and pores are back to normal. I don't use many products: I wash nightly with ivory soap and then I use this and a vitamin c serum. I love this product.

So, at the ripe old age of 36, I am feeling motivated to do something for my skin, as I don’t really wear makeup except for special occasions. For my entire life I have pretty much just used a facial cleanser and then a moisturizer. I have sensitive skin, so I’ve just always been a little nervous to try new stuff on it. But my friend overhauled her skin routine recently and was actually glowing, so I asked her about it. She suggested just adding a toner. I, of course, hit up some Amazon reviews and decided to try the Paula’s Choice Toner and the Paula’s Choice Exfoliator. Wow - my skin looks so smooth now!! My color is more even, and my pores are not as noticeable. My sister even commented on how different and brighter my skin was. The Exfoliator makes my skin itch, so I have dropped it the past couple months and I haven’t noticed a difference, so I’m 98% sure that the changes were due to the Toner. The cost is not amazing, but I think fair, so I’m happy with this! I’m really happy with the results!

Love Paula’s Choice products! My skin is VERY sensitive and reactive to most products. I have to stay away from soy and have hormonal perimenopause acne so finding something that is safe and effective can be challenging. My skin has been loving this product!

I've been holding off on this review, hoping for something to justify its price. However, I have not found anything to do so. While its a good toner, its exactly that, just a good toner.I was using a drug store witch hazel toner before this. I have oily skin that does so much better without toner, letting my face wash and matching moisturizer do its thing. However, toner is a must to thoroughly clean your face and remove skin flaking (I use cvs brand exfoliating cotton rounds, nothing compares to them).I don't have acne, so I can't speak for that aspect. I can say I have noticed in comparison to the toner I was using prior, I blot my face less. However, I still have to blot all day, so this toner isn't really doing me much of a favor. And again, this is also combined with a great face wash and moisturizer for oily skin.Overall, I don't see the $22 price tag I bought it for as justifiable. I've used many oily skin products over the years, from drug store to department store; from my experience, this toner is over-priced. Maybe it will work for you, and work well for acne. For myself, I will be trying other brands in hope to one day find a toner that has real oil control.

I feel I have always taken care of my skin. Even with regular facials and the use of many products my larger pores on my nose contained filament that looked like tiny blackheads. I bought 1 oz of this product and Paula’s product with salicylic acid. I have used both twice a day for approx 7 days on my nose. There is slight flaking of skin on my nose but no longer the little black dots or enlarged pores. I have also used a tool that when I apply pressure allows some stubborn filament to come out of pores. I am so happy with these products. They are working quickly to do what I have been trying to do for years.
