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!

Reviews
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
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'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
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.
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
this toner did shrink the pores and hydrate skin after washing face ,my skin felt so soft ,but did not relise any effect of reducing the blemishes or controlling the oil .
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've never been able to consistently use a toner, and I can't believe what I was missing out on! This toner made my skin feel fresh, clean, and revived! I have never been a huge fan of Essano products, so would have never bought this product for myself, but I am so glad I got to trial this product because it completely changed my mind!
What I think made this toner work for me better than other toners in the way that I could stick to using it, was its ease of use. All the other toners I've ever owned have been in bottles that I've had to use an cotton pad to swipe on. However, this one comes in a spray bottle which makes using it easy and immediate. The only issue I had with it is the spray is very strong so you have to hold it quite far from your face to get a light coverage which is what the bottle suggests.
It really made my skin feel revitalised, and after only a month I think I'm starting to see improvement in the balance of my skin and my oil production. Despite this, the toner itself did make my skin feel a little bit sticky and appear slightly shiny which meant I couldn't really see the benefit of reduced oil production unless I was wearing makeup as it didn't melt off as my makeup usually doesn't
Overall, I really enjoyed using this product as I think it has helped my skin and am definitely going to use every last drop!
Tips: Hold the bottle at an arm's length to get an even most across your face.
