Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner visibly reduces the appearance of pores and refines skin to be clear, smooth and more even toned. This Alpha and Beta Hydroxy formula is dermatologist tested to deliver visible results. First, it sweeps away dead surface skin and refines rough, uneven patches. Then, it penetrates deep into pores so they appear smaller and less visible.

Skin is left feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.

  • Won't overdry skin
  • Oil-free
  • Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
  • Dermatologist tested

Neutrogena Toner

I've always used a toner in my daily facial routine, but the pore refining toner makes my skin feel tight and dry. It also smells like it has a lot of alcohol in it so be sure not to get it in your eyes. I feel like paying $16 for a toner from the supermarket is a bit steep where most others are closer to the $11-$13 range. I wouldn't use this again

Beware sensitive skin

First impressions of this toner were the unpleasant scent upon opening, it has a very strong alcohol/ chemical scent. I found the opening for the toner was a little large and too much product came out at once. I applied with a cotton pad and upon impact with my skin, I experienced a burning sensation and afterwards my skin was left feeling tight. I am unable to discuss whether the toner lived up to the promises on the packaging as I had to stop using it due to the burning sensation.

Tips: Do a patch test first to check that this won't burn your skin, if you have sensitive skin.

No effect on pores.

I used my points to pick up the cleanser and exfoliator from this range in the vault, and had to go out and buy the toner too to really test out the range! Overall I did quite like the products but I didn't notice any kind of change in my pore size or texture so I can't say that they did what was promised. This toner was nothing special to me, it was just a very strong, alcohol smelling toner that felt quite intense on the skin. In some ways I like that as I feel like it really cleans the skin but I also think it's probably a bit too intense and possible damaging.

Strong

I have recently started to use a number of the Neutrogena skin care products, whereas in the past I only used the handcream. This is one of the products purchased recently and although I have not noticed a difference in pore size I have found it effective as a tone albeit slightly on the strong side. I would definitely try the other Neutrogena products though.

Love and hate.

My skin feels super clean but dry after using it that i must use moisturizer straight away. It makes my skin soft, smooth, clearer but i dont like the strong alcohol smell. Not sure if i will repurchase. Also havent noticed any change at pores size.

Numerous Repurchases

I really like this toner, I use it after I've cleansed my face with the neutrogena naturals makeup removing cleanser, and follow it with one of their oil free face moisturisers. For me I did notice a minimal decrease the pore sizes on and around my nose - my number one trouble spot, and that really sold it for me. It has a nice cool and refreshing feeling and I always feel like my face is super clean and healthy after using it.

Tips: Always moisturise afterwards.

Really drying out my skin!

I purchased this toner a few month ago and at the start I loved it! I remove my makeup with a cloth and a makeup remover from Germany and then I cleanse my face with The Neutrogena Depp Clean cleanser and after that I use the Toner. My skin felt cleaner and my pores looked smaller. But after 2 weeks of using it day and night my skin started to be really dry and red straight away after I used it. So I stopped using it twice daily and used it once a day or once every other day! With doing this my skin looks still better but it doesn't dry it out!

So if you have very oily skin and looking for a toner to control this as well as your pores give it a try !

Tips: Only use it once a day or once every other day if you experiencing dryness!!!

it works

I love this toner, it also has witch-hazel in it, which give it the thumbs up from me, its definitely made a difference with pore size and spots, leave my skin feeling soft and smooth, so refreshing. love it

If does have a bit of a alcoholic smell to it, and does sting if you get in on any sore spots, but it does seem to work, it comes in a bigger size compared to other bottles, and is a good price as well.

I recommend this for those with oily skin.

A GOOD TONER

I bought this because it contains alpha and beta hydroxy acids, which help to exfoliate skin and help with dark spots. This toner has helped to reduce the size of my pores. The product does smell of alcohol, but I wouldn't use it everyday as it could dry out the skin.Overall a good product if you could rotate it between a few other toners.

Tips: Don't use this everyday as it could dry out your skin.

Pretty good toner :)

I haven't used very many toners in my life as I've only just recently realised the importance of a daily skin care regime but this one seems to work really well for me. It doesn't feel harsh on my skin and doesn't try it out like I've heard some toners do. I am yet to see any difference in my pores but other than that, I am happy with my purchase.

Tips: A little on a cotton pad goes a long way.
