The toner is my favourite product from the range because it is a simple product that just does what it says it will. I liked soaking a cotton pad with it, swiping it all over my face and then repeating on the other side of the cotton pad.
I love that the toner has salicylic acid in it because I know that ingredient is effective on my acne prone skin. I also like the ingredients that have paired the salicylic acid with, to ensure that it is not too harsh on the skin. I think for this reason it would suit a range of skin types. I definitely prefer the thyme scent of the toner - the scent is less heavy in the toner (as opposed to the cleanser in the range) which is great.
I love that it is cooling and it gets rid of that little bit of remaining makeup that a cleanser might miss, plus makes my skin feel extra clean before I apply moisturiser. I'm not sure that it tightens my pores, but I'm not sure that any product really can so this doesn't bother me. It has not made my skin break out or made me more oily, and it does still feel gentle enough to use both morning and night.
I would purchase it again due to the size vs price and the effective yet gentle ingredients. Simple yet effective!
Thanks BR for the opportunity to trial this product! The toner contains salicylic acid and is for combination to oily skin. It absorbs quickly leaving no residue. I have definitely seen an improvement to my skin since using this product. Despite the weather still being quite hot, my skin has been shine and oil free all day. While I still have a few blackheads, I have not had any other pimples. This toner smells great and is refreshing on the skin.
The only thing I don’t love about it is the packaging, but only because I am lazy. I can never be bothered using a cotton pad to apply toners. However, I fixed this issue myself by just changing the flip top for the mist spray top from a finished bottle of Essano toner, so I can just spray it on. Everything else about this toner is great though. The design on the bottle is really cute and I like that the bottle is clear so you know exactly how much is left.
Overall this is a great toner, and I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out. Highly recommend!
