This is probably the best toner I've tried by far. It does a great job of removing makeup residue after I'm finished cleansing my face, and I've noticed a tightening of my pores after long term use. I've been using this toner for at least a month now, and I've found that I haven't had breakouts lately since using this, which means it is effective in keeping my skin clean. It is also alcohol free, which is a plus! I've found using this toner allows for my moisturizer to absorb better, so I'm definitely noticing less patchiness and dryness in my skin. I've also noticed a reduction in redness in my skin, but I don't know whether that's due to the toner or not. Definitely a fantastic product! The only concern is that the toner does not come cheap, it actually is quite pricey...but during bonus times at The Bay, Sears or what not, you usually get a whole gift bag of great makeup products to try out for purchasing a product! I'd recommend you get this, if you choose to, during those special events. Definitely worth it!
