I have combo skin with a very oily t-zone, so a toner is pretty essential for my skin care routine. Unfortunately this one didn't really do it for me.
The pros. - The scent is really wonderful - I love herby smells, there's something very natural and earthy about herb-scented skin care. - The bottle is easy to hold, and a generous size. - The lid is very secure. - A good price.
The negatives: - It's very astringent. My skin felt incredibly tight almost immediately after use. - It's very dry. After just two uses this left me with a dry patch on my chin that is still there a week later!
I think if you have incredibly oily skin you could use this daily, but for this oily girl it's just far too stripping and harsh for even occasional use.
So, I guess, yes it does what it says, and if my friend had a super-greasy face I'd recommend they try it, but for me - it's a big fat no.
The toner comes in a clear/green tinted plastic bottle.
The toner itself is very watery and smrlls pleasantly of thyme. My skin is combination/ oily and prone to break out. I've had no change in break out while using this product. Nor has it had any effect on my pores. I didn't find it had any effect apart from feeling fresh, clean and rejuvinated.
