I have used a few toners over the years and found this one just an average toner. I did find the scent quite chemical like so didn't really enjoy that. However my skin did feel nice after using it.

Reviews
I was so excited to try this oil control balancing toner. It absolutely doesn't dry my skin out! I found it very refreshing and minimising my pores. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I love it. It makes my face so calm but fresh and clean at the same time. I highly suggest this for anyone!
This is a really beautiful toner. I love that it is cruelty free and made in New Zealand. I use this toner after cleansing with the Essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser. This toner has made my skin more hydrated and it feels so much more balanced with less oil. My skin feels fresh, smooth and soft after use. I would definitely recommend this toner, it is also gentle and helps with large pores around my nose.
Tips: Use after Essano Oil Control Deep Pore Cleanser and follow with Essano Oil Control Oil-Free Moisturiser.
I really enjoyed using this toner - I don't often reach for a toner, which as someone with the world's oiliest t-zone is probably a bit of a fail on my part!
This toner is very refreshing and not too astringent. You can feel a pleasant 'tightening' after use, not that awful 'cheap' toner tightening, but just your skin becoming less oily and more even in texture and tone. It definitely seems to minimise pores too which is fantastic!
I use this mostly after my evening cleanse as I don't use a cleanser in the morning - but a few times a week if I wake up a bit oilier than usual I've used this before commencing the rest of my skincare regime to good effect.
Essano's packaging and information on it is great as per usual and the price point I've seen online is spot on.
I typically only use toners at night and during this review period I continued on with that trend and only used this at night. As with any toner I used this on a cotton pad after washing my face with the Essano Deep Pore Cleanser. It was quite satisfying to see the last remnants of my days makeup being wiped away with the toner. I also found that the next step in my skin care regime, the moisturiser soaked into my skin more deeply than when I used that same moisturiser without the toner so take that as you will. To be honest it is hard to say whether the toner was a necessary step of the whole skincare regime as apart from my moisturiser soaking in differently I'm not sure if it made any difference or not. I may give the toner another go on its own, without any of the Essano range and maybe my opinions will change, but at the moment I am still unsure.
This product is very refreshing. It has a great smell, nothing too invasive, just fresh and clean. Great for removing last traces of cleanser and sealing the skin after cleansing. Skin feels firm afterwards, oil and shine is eliminated with its stand out ingredient, Niacinamide. Niacinamide helps control congested skin and dry out blemishes. Priced affordably and easy to buy either online or from most supermarket stores. It's a steal if you are looking for a hardworking product and easy to budget buying other steps in the routine like cleanser, spot treatment and moisturiser.
Tips: After cleansing, apply to towel dried skin using a cotton pad or cotton wool. Apply moistened cotton pad all over face and neck. Follow with spot treatment and Oil Control Niacinamide Oil Free Moisturiser.
I've never used a toner before so was excited to try this.
The bottle had a flip top that was easy to use, and I used a cotton pad to apply the toner to my skin.
I liked the smell and I could see that it removed dirt from my face that I'd missed with the cleanser.
Having seen the difference it makes, I'm now a toner user and would buy this for sure.
Picked this up in the vault. I'm a fan of the brands skin care, this product is no less. Soothing and soft on my skin. Hax a slight botanical? Scent that I also enjoy. Skin feels calm and ready for the rest of my skincare regime. No doubt, I would pick this up again.
this toner realy does what it claims, niacimide is a good ingredients to control oil and blemishes ,shrink pores a little bit as well ,by far is the best out of all that i have tried .
I did quite like this for a toner, it really smoothed skin and made for an awesome makeup base.
My pores were definitely minimised, but potentially a little to drying on the skin for me. It may be different in summer. With a nice thick moisturiser it is perfect though!
I would be happy to use this with a different softer cleanser and richer moisturiser, and feel that would be a better balance.
