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
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.
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 have to admit I was sceptical and wasn’t expecting much after the last ( which was also the first I admit) mist toner I purchased. But I really feel despite its slightly dull packaging I love it! I really feel it makes my skin feel and look better! It has a light but refreshing scent and I think my skin just appears a little more Matt and pores less giant after I apply this. I really only bought it to spritz in the heat but I will definitely continue to purchase!
Tips: Best to hold a little further from face than normal for a light and even spray as over application might feel a little tacky and gluey
I have only used a couple of toners in the past, and I haven't had good experiences with them. I thought that this toner would dry out my skin and make it feel really tight, but it didn't.
I really liked how this toner is in a spray bottle because it's way easier (and more eco friendly) than using cotton pads every day. It's really easy to use and doesn't dry out my skin whatsoever.
The only thing I don't like about this toner is the smell. It's not horrible, it's just weird and I can't put my finger on what it actually smells like. Although it doesn't linger and you can only smell it when you spray it, so that's a bonus.
Because I have been using these products as a system, I can't actually tell which product is doing what for my skin. However because this product contains witch hazel and chamomile, I would assume this product plays a big part in why my skin has cleared up so much while using this system. I will definitely keep using this product because it's so easy, and it's worth continuing to use it just because of the convenience.
Tips: Spray your face a couple of times morning and night after cleansing and before moisturising.
I've never owned a toner before, and never really included using a toner in my skincare routine. I wasn't quite sure how to use it and what it does and I had nothing to compare it to. I used it before putting my makeup on, and after using moisturiser and cleanser.
I loved the smell of it, and it was really refreshing using this on my face. I also got really badly sunburnt on my shoulders and it helped take away the stinging of my sunburn (I don't know why and I don't think that's what it's meant for at all, but it worked for me haha!)
I probably wouldn't purchase again, just for the fact of me never using toner, but will continue to use this along with the rest of the set, as I noticed positive results while using this whole set! My skin feels and looks a lot smoother and less red!!
Tips: Apply before makeup
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 love how this range is organic.
The spray bottle has a great spray. I don’t find that I get big random droplets on my face. It’s quite even.
It feels super refreshing and it has a faint clean scent. It is perfect for these hot summer days when you need a quick refreshing spray!
My skin feels tight afterwards but with a bit of moisturiser it feels better
I really like this product. I feel like it helps to control oil while tightening my pores
Tips: Keep in the fridge for an extra cool blast
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.
