20 Best Toners For Acne Scars (2023 Updated)

I don’t know how this product doesn’t have an average rating of 5 stars, it’s that good. 1. 5 year ago I began developing painful, deep, cystic acne all over my face, back and chest. My skin was previously oily but clear.

I have a long list of health symptoms that randomly come and go, so I treated as best I could and attributed it to that. Even my derm said he couldn’t do much without me getting to the root cause of it (something internal) via other doctors.

It was wild- didn’t look like normal cystic acne. Large scabs would form and they’d take months to heal. Finally, I had an anaphylactic-type allergic reaction to coconut, then any traces of coconut in any product would bother me.

Then witch hazel did the same. Then… milk products! I realized that even when I was super careful about what I touched, ate or put on my skin, trace amounts might sneak past me and my skin would let me know; I’d have a massive cystic type pimple the next day.

Since coconut derivatives and witch hazel are in nearly every beauty product, my skin cleared a lot on its own with a diet restriction but my skin was still very oily with a bad texture and clogged pores that were waiting to form a deep pimple as soon as I did anything that could cause an allergic response.

I was desperate to find a face wash and toner that didn’t contain these ingredients, but it’s hard to do, esp when ‘natural’ products contain things I’m allergic to, and ‘non natural’ products contain chemicals that upset my already-sensitive skin.

I found 1 single bottle of this at the pharmacy and excitedly grabbed it, just knowing it’s what I’ve been looking for. It took some trial and error (I absolutely can’t use it more than 1x day and even then, sometimes that’s too much) so it made my skin crazy clear overnight, but for a few days after I tried to build up to 2x a day like the bottle says and that is def not for me.

Now that I have a rhythm, my scars are fading fast, skin is less oily, and it’s rare that I get a single pimple. All from this one product (I was my face with water, wear makeup 2x week max, moisturize with noncomodogenic and gentle emu oil.

)I even use this on scars around my body and noticed a big difference in their fading time! Better than Mederma for me. If you’re thinking about getting this and are desperate like I was, do it. I spent hundreds, if not thousands, on wasted skin care trying to get my life back and this little bottle was all it took.

This is the first time I’ve ever had a HOLY GRAIL skin product. I was originally using Paula’s choice bha exfoliant and wasn’t really seeing any results. But with this one, WOAH! It doesn’t go on oily like Paula’s choice, and it also have glycolic acid and lactic acid for extra exfoliating power.

BE CAREFUL! When I first started using this I was so happy with my results I was using it every day and it caused my skin to become over exfoliated, super shiny, and destroyed my skin barrier. I took a month break and now I only use it twice a week, with at least three days in between each use.

My skin haven’t looked this great in over a year. Even though I no longer use the Paula’s choice liquid exfoliant I still use the PC oil reducing cleanser which pairs great with this. My texture is slowly smoothing out, the redness is just about gone, and I feel like I see some scars fading.

I am so happy with this toner. I have now been using it for two days and in only those two days I have seen a difference and the only new products added to my skincare routine have been this toner and the moisturizer that is also available.

I use a cleanser by another brand that contains salicylic acid but since using the toner and moisturizer I have seen the biggest improvements. My dark spots are fading each day, this has become an insecurity of mine as a recent whitehead breakout turned pimples left a dark mark on the side of my chin and ever since using the toner, the mark has lessened in colour significantly.

I’ve been using it the 3 times daily and haven’t experienced any dryness, I use the moisturizer right after and that sinks in so quickly but hydrates my skin as much as it needs. Greasy and thick moisturizers just irritate my acne prone skin and usually lead to a breakout or redness.

This toner won’t work for everyone but for $10. 99 I think it’s worth trying out, start of slowly and remember to moisturize and wear sunscreen afterwards.

I used to use the previous version of this cleanser, the orange liquid in the cylindrical bottle, but that was discontinued years ago. This is an excellent substitute, though more “complicated” with Stress Control and micro-whatever.

It even has cucumber and other extracts in it which I could do without. Nevertheless I use it daily and really rely on it, no one else makes a self-foaming acne/face wash and I really can’t do with the waste involved in foaming a cream in your hands.

Just wet your face, pump how ever much you want into your hands, then apply. As it has become increasingly difficult to find this online (forget about stores), I’ve started buying it directly from neutrogena, which has been a godsend.

Neutrougena oil-free acne stress control toner is a good product to have on hand for the whole family to use. My son is 17 and at the age of major acne breakouts, and my husband gets breakouts when he’s stressed out.

This works Well enough to help keep the breakouts under some what control. Once a month I’ll stop my normal skin care routine and not use makeup for 3 days straight, and use only this a couple times a day and a different moisturizer.

I do this because my regular skin care products I use in my daily routines start to lose their effectiveness and need a reset to keep it fresh. This keeps it moisturized, clean, and oil/ breakout free.

There are definitely better products on the market but this one has a great price point, it’s easy to find, and smells fresh, so my son and husband prefer this over other brands I will always keep this on hand.

It’s a trusted brand and works just the way it’s supposed to, I’d recommend it to anyone.

The one on the right is January 5th 2021 and the one on the left is today January 29th 2021. I struggle with stress acne, I get it on my cheeks and around my chin, I have an anxiety issue, hyperthyroidism that is out of control, the Doctors can’t get me on the right synthroid milligram and I have hormonal problems.

so my face is always kind of a mess. Sadly out of a whole month I have like maybe a week where I feel beautiful and get to put makeup on. This has only been like this since I turned 30 3 years ago. I notice a huge difference in the look of my skin.

I definitely recommend if you have major or even minor breakouts or problems with acne. Feels very cooling when first applied to skin. I believe this stuff really helps keeps the inflammation and so much of the bacteria down.

Also keep in mind that I also been using the whole product line of stress from Neutrogena. I hope this can help someone out there. Remember if you’re having acne problems you’re still beautiful don’t let it get you down!.

I haven’t used toner in action since my mom used to apply it every night when I was a kid. I honestly thought it was that annoying step that skin care companies add just to make money off of us. However I received this in my voxbox and decided to give it a fair trial.

I have to say I was so surprised. I could feel my makeup staying on longer I felt my skin clearing up and appearing softer and smoother. Saying that I was blown away is an understatement. Now I don’t go anywhere without this!! Just wish they had a travel version but this will the real deal.

The price is also very reasonable compared to similar products on the market so it’s something I can sustain on my wallet and continue using for the foreseeable future.

Recently, I’ve noticed my dark spots that I could normally hide pretty well with foundation becoming more pronounced. After some research, I kept coming across this toner. It not only has glowing reviews but it was highly recommended from the Sephora employee.

I ended up purchasing it with high hopes. Unfortunately, after using this toner for almost a month, I’ve not only discontinued use but had no noticable positive effects. I will note that this is a high acid toner and I do have dry skin but skin sensitivity is not an issue.

That said, I had some issues with this toner. I noticed with the first application of this toner a very slight stinging sensation. This was after a basic face wash. It was nothing too dramatic but noticiable.

This stinging sensation did not occur with every use but I couldn’t exactly pinpoint the cause. I used multiple face washes and didn’t use it daily or after exfoliating. I also stopped any other skincare treatments during the time I was using this toner.

After the first week and only applying it to the dark spots which are on my forehead and the sides of my face, I saw absolutely no difference. After 3 weeks, absolutely no change. After babying my not sensitive skin for almost a month to ensure this toner didn’t cause any adverse reactions to end up with zero results is disappointing.

This toner just didn’t work for me.

This toner serum is such a genius idea and I’ve never tried anything even close to it before! My first and ONLY downfall is this is not meant to be applied with a cotton ball or pad due to its more serum-like texture.

It’s very gel-like which isn’t a problem, but it doesn’t absorb at all unless applied with the hands. Once you’re used to that, then this toner serum is amazing! It doesn’t leave a sticky residue behind especially as a hybrid product and its super lightweight.

I enjoy the almost minty, but not strong scent and appreciate the pump top dispenser to keep the ingredients protected & keep the user from making the product unhygienic. I also love the flip top cap.

As someone who’s blemish prone, I appreciate this product and the ingredients so much. I use Witch Hazel in most of my toners as well as Niacinamide to fade pesky dark spots, scarring and pigmentation in my serums.

I love the added cica which I’ve recently started using hearing how great it is for oily & blemish prone skin as well as the tea tree and Centella Extracts.

I received a Clear Genius Toner + Serum from Bliss in exchange for my honest review. It came in well packed in a Bliss box. I love the bottle. I’d say this is a no waste bottle, since as you pump on top(I use cotton squares) the residue goes right back to the bottom and into the bottle.

Just make sure that you’re using a clean cotton and clean hands, so you won’t contaminate the entire bottle for longer/lasting use. This has Clarity 5 complex, the BHA, Witch Hazel, Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, and Cica.

This is alcohol free. I love this brand as it’s clean, vegan, planet friendly, and of course crueltyfree. This product is a combination of Toner and Serum, which you can use after cleansing your face(morning & night).

It’s a flowy gel-like liquid. It’s refreshing on skin and is very gentle. Very hydrating without leaving a sticky substance on your face. It doesn’t absorb that quick, so you’ll have to wait just for a bit if you need to apply moisturizer or your make up.

In My case, I don’t apply moisturizer anymore since this once gives me what moisturizer can do. It leaves your skin very smooth. I noticed my rashes from allergies doesn’t stay longer too. I bet this is soothing my skin enough to get rid of my rashes/allergies.

You think by the time you reach 40, having tried innumerable skincare lines and individual pieces for my confused and fussy skin, I’d have found a toner like this one by now. But alas! Better late than never.

There is no other “toner” product like this. It is instantly cooling and soothing—but not in a menthol kind of way—I honestly don’t know how Averr Aglow does it. And moisturizing! Truly! True non-stripping, non-drying, pore-closing, skin-softening/soothing/calming … this stuff is incredible.

And it really takes the whole line up a notch. Feels luxurious. Amazing. My favorite part of the morning regimen, hands down.

I have really really bad blackheads and always have using this has definitely helped some. It didn’t cure them all overnight but I see an improvement and less wrinkles in my skin. I use the luminous kit.

It is getting really pricey at this point. I’ve used it for two months now and have got three orders (of various items that run out). Hoping they come out with a cheaper refill packaging soon because I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford this much longer.

I had a really bad rash and acne when I turned 23. And it took me until now (2 years later) to find products that worked for my skin. I went to a dermatologist and they had me use some creams and just plain facewash and it helped clear up the rash but didn’t help my skin tone or complexion.

I used origins before but my face just didn’t like any of it for long, it’ll always have a reaction every week.

I love the glow this product brings to my skin. If you find the oil based cleansing a little heavy full time, removing a bit w this toner before moisturizing can be a game changer. I use averr aglow oil cleansing products some day and switch my routine because my skin can be picky.

However, even when i switch to a different routine, i stick with this toner because i find that it really helps to balance my good skin bacteria in a healthy way. Definitely my favorite product from this line overall.

I’m obsessed. I kept my eyes peeled for a toner for the last few weeks. I didn’t think it was really a necessity for my skin and boy was I wrong. This stuff is a GAME CHANGER! My skin is normal not oily but not sensitive, I’m almost 30 and really wanted to start taking care of my skin.

Mind you, I never leave reviews, so this should let you know how much I love this product! The cooling sensation was beyond amazing and so refreshing. My skin is so soft after using it and when I apply my skincare after applying this, my face continues to hold onto that cool sensation! I removed so much extra dirt I didn’t think was still ok my skin with this as well as my pimples already clearing up after one day of morning and night use.

It’s perfect! So happy with my first Murad purchase! 10 stars, recommend!!.

I honestly like this toner a lot and have been using it constantly. I will state that the four stars is due to the sting I feel when apply. If you have sensitive skin, it may feel a bit stinging and if it irritates you for the next day.

Obviously if it hurts, just return it, but I gave this treatment a week to see the progress. At first, I stated that I feel the sting but then it get cooling and refreshing. It has not scent, which is great and I then I feel the toner targeting my acne areas.

The next day, my acne has shrunk a bit and I knew it was working. I’ve used it twice a day and results have been better. The toner is fantastic through out time and my face is progressively healing right now.

I recommend this toner for ace prone skin and people that are starting to develop acne because of mask wearing. Give it at least a week to see if it improves.

I do not have a major acne issue, rarely breakouts around that time of the month, almost never as a teenager. I do have clogged blackheads so specifically i use this toner after i do extractions. I use this purposefully to “disinfect” the open pore after extraction.

I have never used this on my entire face. This would not be good for my skin. And i’ve always said, a brand that “targets” certain skintypes is not necessary. I do not believe a toner alone will help you with oiliness or acne.

It goes so much more deeper than that (diet, exercise, other skincare products). There is a slight tingling cooling sensation when applied. This contains witch hazel which i’m not a big fan of. And this contains denatured alcohol, which i’m kinda iffy about, i prefer not to have it in my skincare, but yet i dont really care either.

I do think it will throw off your skin and therefore produce more oil/sebum. This was one of the toners i bought in 2018 will on my toner binge, I will not repurchase. well because i only really use it as a spot treatment, so this will last me a long time.

But i don’t also see a big use for this. If i were to use a clarifying toner, i prefer the Kate Somerville clarifying toner because it is alcohol-free. ———————————————— MY TONER/ESSENCE SPIEL: I will explain my understanding of what are Toners and Essences.

And how I differentiate and categorize them. These are classified differently by different people/brands/markets. I categorize and apply these by viscosity and ingredients. ⚠️ IMO toners and essences are a beauty industry gimmick.

Brands throwing out more products, more terminology to confuse consumers. However I see a definite improvement in my skin when layering essences, known as the “7 Skin Method” — certain essences. ⭐️ IMO Essences are a great investment!! much more than a toner ⚠️ the general rule: thinnest to thickest Generally this is what I follow, after cleansing: —- Toner: watery, with cotton pad ——– FTE: watery, press into skin with hands ————- Essence: more viscous, more nutrients/ingredients TONERS: I consider these to be watery runny liquid treatments.

Usually used with a cotton pad, sweeping product over the skin. This is step one right after cleansing. ▫️ to balance pH: after cleansing, using a toner can help balance your skin (to support the barrier, a good pH is between 4.

5 – 5. 5) Back in the day, cleansers were harsher on the skin and who knows what was in the tap-water, so toners were used to reset your skin’s pH. Now, toners have more added nutrients/benefits like antioxidants ▫️ to hydrate: adding hydrating properties back into the skin (glycerin or aloe) ▫️ to exfoliate: gentle chemical exfoliation, AHAs or BHAs, and/or blends (a salicylic toner can be used for those with acne) ▫️ first “prep” step: the first step of liquid hydration, start softening of skin, to help the next products penetrate better 🔸 NO alcohols or witch hazel 🔸 NO fragrances or little fragrance 🔸 NOT for makeup removal or what cleanser misses (it almost kills me when I hear someone say that a Toner removes the leftover makeup/gunk, if your cleanser is not removing everything, you need a new cleanser) [brand:murad].

My family has been using this toner for about 2 years. It costs around $7. It helps treat acne and unclog pores. It contains salicylic acid, green tea and cucumber extracts. It’s also oil-free. I wish it came in bigger sizes and maybe had a more refreshing scent.

It doesn’t smell bad just medicinal. Overall, we will continue to use and recommend especially for acne prone. Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control Triple Action Toner.

I have oily and acne-prone skin and have tried everything from high price dermotolgy products to the whole beauty section at Walmart and everything in between, but none gave me the results I was hoping for.

That being said when I first came across this toner I was skeptical and doubted it would be any different, especially for the low price. But within 2 weeks of using the product, my skin was almost completely clear! And unlike other acne products and toners I have used, it does not over dry my skin or leave extra oil behind.

Biore Witch Hazel Toner has completely healed my skin and allowed me to become more confident. I completely recommend this product!.

I love this stuff! I spray it onto a cotton round and use it to clean my face morning and night and it gets SO MUCH DIRT OFF! I feel so fresh and clean afterward since it has an almost menthol/minty cooling property to it.

It did dry my face out quite a bit though, but I realized that and adjusted so that I only use it for my T-zone now. If you have sensitive or dry skin make sure you get a moisturizer! I use this with the gentle acne cleanser and they both have made a difference in my acne.

Great products!.

So I hopped on board with the current Cult Craze and purchased the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliate and was disappointed, it left my skin feeling greasy and I did not feel like it made any difference with my troubled skin.

I decided to give this DRMTLGY Papaya Enzyme toner a try because I remember the lady that does my facials saying how important and effective fruit enzymes are in skin care products (she gave a whole schpeal about specific fruits doing specific things, I was honestly too relaxed to pay attention) but anyhow, seeing the real Papaya Extract as in active ingredient in this product did play a big role in my decision to try this product out.

I just received this toner the other day and have only used it a couple of times, but here’s my first impressions. for starters, you get so much, the bottle is huge, the instructions for application are to spray on face or onto a cotton round, but to avoid eye area, kind of hard to do if you spray.

but I chose to do that anyway in hopes of not wasting product being absorbed by the cotton. it was an instantly refreshing mist, the subtle hint from the papaya and rosemary was amazing and the rosemary itself made for a slight cooling tingle.

the most was very light which I think will lead to the product lasting a long time. After use my skin felt crisp and clean, shine free and minimized pores. Will definitely be purchasing again.

I absolutely love toners – I think they are super important in your routine to get all of the junk out of your pours and let me tell you…this clarifying toner does not disappoint!! I can’t get out how clean and fresh my skin feels after using this! Ps.

Ladies that work out mid day and want to skip doing your full routine again – just spray your face with this after your workout to prevent acne and kill the bacteria from sweating!! Win win!!.

I got the La Roche Posay Serozincist as soon as my dermatologist recommended it to me. It promises to control the oiliness and shrink enlarged pores. Being zinc the star ingredient here, I knew it would be good a good product for me.

In terms of controlling the oiliness, it did a pretty decent job but there’s no miracle. I feel it kinda withheld the shine for a while but it had to be reapplied during the day. I didn’t see much difference on my pores, to be honest.

But the best use for this mist I found to be after having my make-up done. Just a generous spray on my face and it would keep a mattified look for longer (I didn’t need to reapply layers of powder to get rid of the shine) and make my foundation and concealer last way longer than without it.

It was a great product to have at hand during hot days.

I absolutely love La Roche Posay Serozinc Face Mist. I love this product so much that I order it directly from the company’s website, as it is a product that I haven’t seen sold in stores in the United States.

It is a wonderful mattifying face-mist that I discovered while doing some research online this summer and seemed like the perfect thing to put on my face before different brands were coming out with facial spray solutions for “Maskne” due to having to wear face masks all of the time for Covid-19.

This product, while sometimes marketed as a toner, doesn’t feel like a toner at all to me. It feels more like a great pore-sealer; though I can understand why some would call it a toner only because it does sometimes feel like a pore soother if I have gone too far with an acid peel, or if I have neglected to properly cover my face with sunscreen (which we all know I need to do, due to my use of AHA and BHA to combat my acne).

Anyway, this spray is tops – it lasts a while, it is a great price – and also, I’ve sprayed my scalp with it when it has been irritated from sunburn or seborrhea. This product is great! I wish they sold it in stores too!!.

This product WORKS! My skin has been so oily and pores clogged from being pregnant. I searched for safe solutions and found this product. At first, I tried to use it as a finishing spray and it was a little too irritating for me.

So instead, I started spraying this on a cotton pad mixed with my pure salicylic toner. Weirdly it works! No sensitivity and my pores are tight and oil reduced. My breakouts are clearing! I highly recommend La Roche Posay products they are all of quality and fantastic.

I am an esthetician and have been using PCA for almost 2 years now. I personally have the Smoothing Toner and Hydrating Toner and alternate them according. I have not had any issues at al using this toner on my own skin on a regular basis.

The Smoothing Toner is a fantastic product to use on most skin types. I use this toner on about 70% of my clients for facials, Dermaplaning, Microneedling, high frequency (because it does not have any alcohol in it), and many other skincare procedures.

I have not had a client yet who has had any sensitivity or adverse effects from it. It leaves the skin clean, prepped and glowing. I especially love the ingredients (aloe, lactic acid, cucumber. ) I have seen a few reviews say that the individual using this claims to have had some stinging with this product.

If you have sensitive skin, you may want to go with the PCA Hydrating Toner instead. If you do not have sensitive skin but have acne that is irritated or any skin issue that is not completely healed then I would just say to be cautious when using this product (to be on the safe side).

Try starting out using the cleanser every other day until your skin and barrier strengthen. I think if you are not highly reactive to it and can be consistent, then the skin should start to respond and clear up.

If you do not see any improvement after 5-7 days, then switch to another toner but please get familiar with what is in your products. That way you will truly know what works for your skin and what does not.

I have so many clients who think their skin is “normal” and I find out it’s super dehydrated, dry, or sensitive.

I’ve struggled with acne and scarring/ sun spots for a long time and was getting monthly chemical peels to help get rid of the imperfections on my skin. I’ve started using this product at least once a day after cleansing and it has transformed my skin.

It’s brighter and my sun spots/ scars from acne have all but disappeared. I can tell it’s actively working because I can see the dirt/oil/leftover makeup on the cotton ball after using the toner as well as the tingling feeling on some of my active blemishes.

I love love love this toner so much. Changed the game. No more monthly chemical peels.

I bought this product for my hormonal acne that I have acquired after menopause. It was recommended by my massage therapist that is studying to become an esthetician. I was very hesitant to buy for 3 reasons, One, I didn’t see any return policy or guarantee in case I didn’t work for me.

Two, product is very expensive. let’s be real no one wants to waste their hard earned money. Three, you do not offer all the products in trial or sample sizes. But my sister convinced me to try it. So, I bought two of the products recommended to me.

I have been using the Problem Cleanser and the Smoothing Toner for about a week now. First day I noticed my redness had decreased, 3rd day my face stung after the toner, used it every other day, much better.

I’m on day seven now and my skin has calmed down and beginning to clear. I think it will be a process. I will be following up with another review. My first impression is product is very expensive and very cheaply packaged.

You can get these bottles for pennies. I been using “100 Percent Pure” makeup for over a year and they have beautiful packaging high and quality products.

Being someone with sensitive skin and new to chemical exfoliation I should’ve started with something milder, but I’m using this once a week and I think it works well for me like that. My skin gets a bit red right after application but it goes away after 10 to 15 minutes because I apply a very gentle soothing moisturizer on top.

Recently I’ve noticed my skin isn’t as red anymore, but I won’t use it more than once a week and I don’t think anyone should either since it’s a bit harsh! I always wake up with smoother and brighter looking skin, which I love, so the process is worth it for me.

Trust me this product makes a big difference. I found out that tapping instead of dragging my fingers/cotton round across my faces helps. The scent isn’t good (chemical/alcoholic) but it’s not bad enough to prevent me from using it and it doesn’t last very long.

I wouldn’t purchase it again because I would rather try dry skin friendly products. This toner is for oily skin and I have no idea how I didn’t notice that when I bought it. Please do NOT use anything irritating in the same routine as this product, your skin will burn.

No vitamin c, retinol/retinoid or exfoliating products. Wear sunscreen.

I hated this toner at first. It definitely burns and I used it only once a week or so. After breaking out into horrendous stress acne through the summer of 2021, however, I slowly worked up to using it more often and did eventually start to notice a major difference with the breakouts.

They were fewer and didn’t last nearly as long. It does still burn upon application so I like to apply it with wet hands and put on a good moisturizer after (Drunk Elephant Protini). Could do without the pain but my pores and skin are looking a lot better than they did before, so I might just stick to using this one because the price point is great.

I have very sensitive skin and this glycolic acid doesn’t break me out or burn my skin which is definitely a win for me. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I have a hard time telling how much of a difference it makes for me.

I definitely like it though. I can tell it’s doing something because it does make my face very slightly warm and red for a minute after applying but that is to be expected with a chemical exfoliator and it’s not uncomfortable or long lasting at all.

I apply it with my reusable cotton rounds 2x per week to keep my skin exfoliated without overdoing it.

This is great – it doesn’t have a chemical smell like a lot of toners aimed at getting rid of blackheads/refining pores and it’s really gentle on the skin; no tingling or stinging at all, which I was pleasantly surprised at.

Bonus: it actually does the job! There was a noticeable improvement after about a week and the appearance of my skin continues to improve week on week with once daily use. Really happy with this.

Fairly good product so far. Skin feels toned, not sure about the exfoliating effect though. I would be happy to buy again, If only the customer service was as good. Have been having difficulties with return labels, and customer service is useless to say the least.

60 day guarantee is only a marketing prop to catch you out, free postage is selected at random and free gift they promise don’t turn out.

Have been using this toner for around 2 weeks by now and am totally happy with it. Gentle exfoliation indeed, lovely texture, gives a nice feeling and goes very well prior to the Lactic serum (everyday, pm).

My skin texture became more even (and it’s just the start I believe), red post-acne spots faded out a little bit. I prefer to be patient and wait for more results rather than considering something more radical.

If you are patient too, you may love it as much as I do! Me: 31, normal skin with a bit of oiliness in the T-zone in the summer, uneven texture, post-acne discolouration.

Got this at Ulta a few days back. I was looking for a toner to fill a gap in my routine since I haven’t used one since back when our only options were witch hazel or some weird acid toner. I’m on tretinoin so I try to avoid anything with actives/anything drying since I dislike attacking my skin with intense products one after another.

This fit in great! I’ve been more into products with snail mucin and cica since my focus outside of cystic acne+pigmentation is to maintain my skin barrier. I didn’t realize this product had cica until I was almost at checkout and read the ingredients but seeing it on the ingredient list definitely sealed the deal for me.

If you’re looking for something to keep your skin moisturized without actives+is easy to layer, this is your product! Also note: I have medium-dark mixed south asian/caribbean skin that pigments badly after cystic acne outbreaks.

No product is a “holy grail” but this fit my needs perfectly. I had a nasty hormonal cyst on my chin that I covered with a cosrx patch in between day and night washes followed by application of this toner and alpha arbutin.

No PIH! This is for sure a staple for me now.

I have breakout prone skin that’s on the more tan side. which also means that every time a blemish stretches out my skin and shrinks back to normal later, it leaves a dark mark on my skin. it’s annoying because it makes it LOOK like my skin is still troubled even if the breakout is gone.

I really didn’t expect that these snail products from Peach Slices would clear my skin and reduce those dark be spots THIS effectively. I thought I might see a minimal improvement, but that still would’ve been better than no improvement.

in fact – my face looks SO MUCH BETTER that I’m upset with myself for not taking before and after pictures. I just never could’ve guessed! and the fact that it’s only been a week BLOWS my mind! I did buy the whole set: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, and intensive mask.

and because of the results I’m seeing, I’ll never go back to anything else! I’m just mind blown!.

I am almost through my first bottle of this toner. I’ve used it twice a day every day for almost 3 months now. I’m 24 and have combination/ fairly calm skin. 1. isn’t sticky like other snail mucin products I’ve tried (cosrx) 2.

Noticeably brightens my skin 3. Can use with an AHA, BHA, or retinol exfoliator (I’ve used it with all of these) 4. Softens my skin a crazy amount. 5. Non-comedogenic I don’t like trying toners out because so many of them don’t do anything, but this one is a miracle formula.

I try for an anti-aging based routine. I use this product before my hanskin AHA toner, then an aveeno moisturizer and as a result the AHA does not dry out my skin. It’s amazing. I’ve done similar routines with salicylic acid and retinol, it seriously is perfect.

Wash-> snail rescue-> exfoliator -> moisturizer= glowing, hydrated, baby soft, clean, bright, even-toned, clear skin.

I don’t break out the way I used to as a teenager, but I’m in my 40s and still have issues that pop up. Toner has been the biggest helper against those weird, random breakouts. I rotate a variety of toners, normally, including one or two by Burt’s Bees.

This clarifying toner is a solid addition to the routine. When I first received it, something was starting to happen on my face that told me a breakout was imminent. I used this a couple times and the problem disappeared.

(Or shrank dramatically. ) This toner is more astringent and bracing, with more of an herbal vibe to it. It feels cooling and refreshing after applying. (Presumably as it dries. ) It feels good, though, and I like the scent.

My skin tends to be more normal than anything, with a tiny bit more oiliness around the nose, so I was fearful this might leave my face feeling stripped of moisture, but it didn’t. (A person with super dry skin might not like this very much.

) I appreciate that it shortened the life cycle of a couple small breakouts, though. One other benefit to this toner: It’s mosquito season and I’ve been bitten quite a few times. I quickly get itchy and scratch like a maniac, and experience all the swelling.

This helps soothe that a lot. I’ve just been applying it to bites via a cotton pad and it provides some quick relief. It works even better with the spot treatment solution Burt’s Bees has. As a pimple preventer, it’s great, but this arrived just in time for mosquito season and I really love it for that.

It’s provided some very welcome release to some nasty, itchy bites.

EXACTLY !! HORRIBLE NEW VERSION Please do yourself a favor and save your money unlike I did. I bought three bottles of the new version because it was marketed as only new packaging, how wrong I was… Completely disappointed as soon as I took the safety seal off as I knew exactly what they had done.

Do not buy this product. A couple months ago before the formula change I recommended this product specifically to everyone I knew. Now, I am so utterly disappointed. The new version of this product is completely different and completely ineffective.

The toner does not remove any of the dirt, makeup, or oil from my face after cleansing. The new scent makes me sick to my stomach and the lingering feeling of a sticky product remains. It is comical that the brand thought they could discontinue the old version and pass this version as the same product.

I have no idea what I am going to do as this has been a staple in my daily skincare routine for years, using it twice if not three times a day. When I would run out of the toner and couldn’t find it at my local stores I would instantly notice acne, oil, and just a horrible appearance in my skin.

This has to be the worst decision ever made by Burt’s Bees. Small user-submitted image: 1 of 1.

I’m 49 with drier skin overall, but I have large pores and therefore am still prone to blackheads, whiteheads and CYSTIC ACNE. It’s been difficult for me to find a toner that doesn’t either dry out or break out my skin.

This one fits the bill, and it does not sting if I have a blemish that I may have messed with 😉 It also brings cystic bumps down nicely and helps s lot with red spots-which is great because I have very pale skin which shows every little spot.

The ONLY reason for 4 vs. 5 stars is the bottle is too darn small-I would gladly pay more for a larger bottle-less plastic and less trips to the store. BTW, This is a toner so it’s not intended to remove makeup.

This is to be used after you wash your face-so only residual makeup.

Started using this 2 weeks ago. Read reviews it helped a lot with acne and “maskne”. Overall has helped me SO much to get rid of acne. I’ve been dealing with hormonal acne since June and this has cleared it almost completely, 1000x better than acne patches.

I was hesitant since it does have essential oils but I’ve mostly just been using on acne around jawline and it has been a miracle. I’d say just be cautious around pets since it does have Tea Tree but just allow time for it to soak into the skin and don’t spray near pets.

I am 40 years old and have suffered from acne on and off from the age of 12. I never thought I would ever have clear skin for as long as I lived. This simple toner mist has given me hope! I thought “what the heck, I’ve got nothing to lose.

” This mist is magical, truly! I use it on my body and face, and within 1 week I saw my skin become smoother, less irritated, less red, less flaky, with no discomfort. I’ve tried everything, and I mean everything that the pharmacy carries and even suffered through chemical burns with the awful stuff dermatologists prescribe.

Save yourself the agony, buy a case of this toner. Be sure to get the ZAP cleansing bar and the ZAP roll on.

Love this toner. I particularly love using this in the hot summer months. In the morning and before bed, after cleansing, I spray this on. It is cooling and not oily on my skin in the heat, yet not dehydrating.

Helps to prevent ‘summer heat’ breakouts for me.

I’m a very simple girl and I really love using new products especially ones that have salicylic acid acne treatments and this one is actually a really nice one. the perricone MD acne relief gentle exfoliating toner has such a great watery consistent that it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.

once I wash my face I thought the toner on my affected area on my skin and I like doing it in the morning and in the evening I let my face dry and then place a very light moisturizer that has helped me clear my skin a lot.

I did not feel that it was irritating to my skin and it was not as drying as I thought it would be like a toner that I have used in the past. this is actually such a great product and very modern that does not feel like that toner astringent that we once used when we were teens.

The best benefit about owning this product is that it feels luxurious on the skin it has such a nice glass bottle and it’s very easy to use. the top is easy to open with your wet hands and it’s just an overall really nice scented that it’s not overpowering like that strong alcohol smell that we are used to in our toners.

I would buy this product all over again because it is a really nice product. my skin feels beautiful it reduces all the dirt that we collect throughout the day. and I do feel that it does exfoliate my skin and it does unclog the enlarged pores and it helps to clear the blemishes like the whiteheads and blackheads and it really does keep my skin very calm and soothe My acne prone skin.

I love the way I feel that it’s very clean feeling and very refreshed and I do love that clean skin that does not feel shiny and oily. I do recommend this product to all my friends and my family because it is a really nice product to use.

I feel that this whole 2 weeks that I’ve had this product it has worked tremendously on my skin and I think it’s so nice. the ingredients are really nice it has lactic and succinic acid that really helps with clearing bacteria.

I do not think that this is just any typical toner I think it really does have really nice ingredients that really have helped my skin a lot. @Perricone MD, #PerriconePorefection #sponsored.

Perricone MD’s Acne Relief Gentle Exfoliating Toner does EXACTLY what it says it’ll do! While [gently] exfoliating my skin, this toner visibly clarifies, smooths and minimizes my pores, for a clearer appearance leaving me with a smooth + matte finish.

My face feels incredibly clean and refreshed without looking or feeling overly dry or tight! It has actually minimized my pores, over the time I have been using it, once in the a. m. and again in the p.

m. It works by lifting the impurities and removing any deep down dirt and lifting the oil that tends to clog my pores! My skin appears smoother with a more even skin tone & clearer complexion! It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and invigorated with a healthy-looking, matte finish.

• Maximum-strength salicylic acid and lactic and succinic acids exfoliate and unclog enlarged pores to clear blemishes, whiteheads and blackheads, as citrulline helps calm and soothe acne-prone skin.

Perricone MD was kind enough to gift me this bottle of their toner via @bzzagent to test and review. All opinions are my very own! #PerriconePorefection #Sponsored.
