I bought this product on sale, so it was great value! Loved the subtle fragrance and it lifted even my eye makeup away, without any scrubbing - a great cleanser.

Olay Essentials Refreshing Toner Review
Olay's refreshing toner blended to be mild on skin for everyday cleansing. The Essentials alcohol free formula, containing extracts of cucumber and aloe, effectively lifts away remaining traces of dirt and make up revitalising skin appearance without over drying.
The result? Simply clean, refreshed, beautiful skin.

Reviews
I purchased the Olay Oil Minimizing Skin Toner (which is apparently previously called the Refreshing Toner, boy did that have me confused until I googled it!) partly because it was on sale, partly due to the fact that I have always enjoyed Olay's range of products, and partly because finding a decent toner is really hard to find! The one I purchased contains witch hazel, so maybe they revamped the formula? I couldn't find the original about. Otherwise I could just be completely mistaken and reviewing the wrong thing!
Anyyywaayyy, Olay's toner comes in quite a large bottle. After reading a recommendation from another reviewer for a different toner, I applied it by pouring some into a spray bottle and then lightly spraying my face after cleansing, and using a cotton pad to disperse this across my skin. I found that this method did seem to use a lot less product and was quite refreshing, especially after a hot shower.
A lot of toners I have used before left my skin feeling stripped, tight and overly dry. This toner instead just left my skin feeling soft and very clean. I did find that when I used it after exfoliating my skin, it did sting a little but it wasn't for long or that painful, just something to bare in mind if you have quite sensitive skin.
Overall, I'm really glad I bought this toner. I haven't been using it long, but so far I do feel as though it is helping combat my oily skin and helping keep it nice and clean.
Tips: I would definately recommend the spray bottle application! Why is toner not sold like this? DON'T spray it near your eyes (okay, maybe that's why?), but otherwise so handy.
I hAve had the same bottle for so long! Leaves your skin clean and fresh feeling without feeling tight. Another great olay product
Tips: I use mine with a cotton pad which is great for making sure your makeup is definitely all gone
I recently purchased a pack of 3 Olay Oil Minimizing Toner with Witch Hazel 212ml (formerly known as Olay Essentials Refreshing Toner) from my favourite sale website NZSale for a really crazy price!
However, once the toners actually arrived, I had a quick look at the ingredients and realised that it contains ALCOHOL. That's a big no-no as I have acne-prone/blemished skin. The smell is really really strong as well.
On the other hand, this toner makes a really effective make-up remover. I usually dip a cotton stick in the toner and remove that ugly smudge from eyeliner or eyeshadow on the skin when doing make-up in a hurry (oopsie, my clumsy hands!)
All in all, I won't hurry to dispose these toners just yet!
Tips: The bottle has a rather large opening so be careful not to use excessive force to pour out the product.
Just tilt the bottle at a slight angle for very small amount on cotton swabs or dip your cotton stick in the toner to get the product.
It’s a good toner, and i would use it again. I just wish it was in a spray bottle, as it’s really refreshing yet gentle on sensitive skin. This would be great to spray on face and neck on really warm days aswell.
I really like this toner it helps remove all my make up that my face wash sadly misses without drying, leaving my skin refreshed and clean.
