Review Text:
I'm in love with this toner, it does wonders for my combination skin and when I'm not testing products it's become part of my 'go-to' routine. I have something embarrassing to admit. I've been using toner for years (the same type I might add) and never knew what it did. Out of the interest of testing this well, I did a quick google. Turns out toner is supposed to remove trace amounts of cleanser, rebalance PH of your skin and make your pores shrink. I can easily say that the toner I've used for years did precisely 0 of those. So onto this toner. I've found my dream skincare routine and it definitely includes this toner (as well as the Clean and Clear exfoliating slices and Loreal Revitalift vitamin C serum!). On my initial use of it, I noticed my skin was so much softer than usual, but didn't want to jump to conclusions. Well, after using it for a week and a half I can easily say that my love affair with this toner continues. I've always been self-conscious about the big pores on my nose and cheeks and within a couple of days they were so tiny! On top of that, I rarely break out anymore, my skin quality has risen massively and it just feels great. My husband has terribly dry skin and I tried this on him too, just out of curiosity. His skin didn't get perfect for me, but there was a big improvement! Using the toner is nice too, it smells zesty and refreshing and feels cool and comfortable on my skin. I have one medium sized complaint that I really, really hope Clean and Clear sees and fixes. The bottle is terrible. This toner does not deserve this bottle. Not only is the bottle so difficult to get open that I hurt myself and still struggle to open it every day (even my husband struggled to get it open!), but it's difficult to get a steady flow and if you squeeze too much comes out. The secret is to just tilt it really high, but I mean...this toner deserves a bottle as awesome as it is. Please fix the bottle, Clean and Clear!!!
