It's important to note that skincare products can affect individuals differently. If you have acne-prone skin, you might want to patch test this toner or consult with a dermatologist before incorporating it into your routine.

After using it for about a month, I found it doesn't suit acne-prone skin. My chin area broke out terribly, and I struggled with blemishes for a while.

This toner is great for when you want to boost your skin's hydration.

This product seems to be particularly effective for those with oily skin types, helping to regulate oil production. The reviewer struggles to find any significant drawbacks, suggesting they're quite satisfied with its performance overall.

Works well for oily skin and helps control excess sebum production

It's perfect to use right after cleansing. If you layer it a few times, you don't even need other skincare products. This toner really works hard for your skin.

The price makes me hesitate a bit every time I need to buy it, but this time they released a larger size, so I went for that.

I've probably gone through about 10 bottles already. Each one lasts me around two and a half months.
It's so good that even though I've tried a few cheaper toners, I always end up coming back to this one.

If you're going to use it, make sure to properly moisturize! (Hydrating toner + Hydrating serum)

If the purpose of the toner is moisture and moisturizing power, this toner is not recommended.

This toner is famous for its ability to control sebum. I usually apply it when I have a lot of oily skin and excess sebum.

Caution: At first, there was a slight stinging sensation when I used it! But now there's no problem at all. If you have sensitive skin, be careful at first. After using it a few times, you'll get used to it quickly.

Texture/Usage: The texture is very hydrating but not at all sticky, and it absorbs well into the skin! It feels great and refreshing! It moisturizes the skin without leaving a greasy residue, which is perfect for someone like me who can't stand that sticky feeling.
They say this toner balances the skin's oil and moisture levels well! The oil control isn't dramatically effective, but my skin does look less shiny. This is a really nice toner to use. There are soothing ingredients, so if you have troubled skin, it might sting a bit at first, but it gets better with continued use.

Overall: First of all, my excess sebum has decreased a bit. Even in the dry fall and winter seasons, as long as I apply a good hydrating serum or cream afterwards, my skin doesn't feel overly dry. I recommend this to oily, acne-prone, troubled skin types! Be sure to follow up the toner application with a moisturizer right away. If you just use the toner and go, your skin will feel very tight and dry.

There were no troubles and it didn't seem to have any particular downsides.
The discount rate was a bit up and down, I suppose?

It is lightweight and has good cleansing power. It is moisturizing. I have been using it for over 10 years.

Here's a handy tip: I bought an empty mist spray bottle from Daiso and transferred the toner into it. Now I can simply spritz it on, which completely eliminates the hassle of pouring it out each time.

While everything else is great, the only inconvenience I found was having to pour the product onto my palm for application.

It's wonderfully hydrating, replenishing moisture while also controlling sebum. As someone with combination skin that tends to get oily, I trust this toner to keep my complexion balanced.

I'm not sure, I don't reach for it often. It's just too expensive to buy without a good reason

I think this toner might not be too bad after all

Nothing particularly negative to mention. The main drawback is the limited accessibility of the Paula's Choice brand itself.

With its lightweight formula and non-sticky texture, it's especially recommended for oily skin types. Seems perfect for the upcoming summer season.

Despite using it for a while, I just can't seem to get used to the scent. I wish it had a more pleasant fragrance.

Though it's on the pricier side, I can't seem to find a product that matches up to this one. I've been using it for years and still haven't found a suitable replacement. It absorbs well and has a great texture when applied. Highly recommended for those with oily skin!

The price is a bit higher than I expected. It would be great if they could increase the quantity for the same cost.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, this product completely eliminated my deep dryness, leaving my skin hydrated. I didn't experience any side effects like blemishes, and it even reduced the oiliness around my nose.
