Best Toner!!!!

I have been using this toner for a while and I love it. Make my skin feel soft and clean. Would highly recommend it!!!

Save your skin and do not use…

I don’t frequently write reviews, but felt compelled to do so with this toner given how horrible the effects were on my skin. I used to use the acne solutions line a lot back in my late 20s; I don’t have horribly bad acne-prone skin or really sensitive skin, but have very mild cystic acne around my jaw line and neck from stress. Two of my favorite toners have been discontinued over the years, so I gave this a shot again at 40. I’m pretty positive the formula has changed tremendously, and for the worst, over the years. The smell alone should have been a warning. Because of the amount of alcohol and irritants, I attempted to use this every other day to start and moisturize in between so it wasn’t too drying. I used it Monday and then Wednesday night after cleansing and by Thursday morning had the worst chemical burns over my entire face - I am talking ear to ear from my jawline, up to my cheeks and under my eyes. Painful, burning and itchy skin that is out of control, blotchy and red. The texture of my face is ruined and nothing has been working to calm my skin in the last 48 hours. I initially tried this toner a few months back and returned it thinking maybe it was a bad bottle or batch, but nope - it’s the product. I really should have trusted my gut and never went back to this knowing the amount of alcohol that’s in it based on the ingredient list and the fact that they use silica as a selling point when it’s a mild abrasive! Since learning that Clinique also tests on animals, these are going straight into the trash. Save your money and your beauty; this company should be paying my dermatology bill after ruining my once fairly beautiful skin.

I have acne-prone combination skin. I used this when I was in high school over 10 years ago. Since then, I've experimented with many different toners. But I still gravitate back to this one! Helps with my acne in the summer and winter. Like other reviewers mentioned, it can be drying but I found that using a thicker moisturizer in the winter is an easy fix.

Acne girl MUST HAVE

I have been using acne solutions since high school and this still works wonders for me whenever I break out. After washing my face and body I use this on a cotton pad over my face chest back and butt (the real acne girls understand). I will forever use this product

Too drying

This stuff has way too much alcohol in it. I understand some may be in all cosmetics, but when it smells like youre using nail polish remover on your face, something is really wrong. Very drying and irritating

Clear skin

I have been using this and the acne solutions face wash. I started 2x a day but now only need to use at night. If I allow it to run out I start to get acne on my neck/jaw again but as soon as I start using again it clears up. I’m 44 and never thought I’d still need acne products but it keeps my skin clear and as long as I use moisturizer after my skin looks amazing and still glows, looks healthy.

Not Cruelty-Free & Drying

I found this to be very drying, but didn’t help with texture/breakouts. I was using other Clinique products that worked for my skin and then found out Clinique still animal tests.

A must-have!

A forever favorite, have been using this religiously for years. Keeps my acne at bay, and removes all grease! Regular routine: wash my face with tatcha deep cleanse. Then the toner, followed by Clinique gel moisturizer.

Acne control.

It’s affective but drying. So hydration and moisturizer is required.

The clearest my skin has been

I've struggled with blemish/acne prone skin since being a teen (now 29), i've tried every skincare range drug stores had to offer plus prescription based medications for acne. I saw this range and gave it a go, and within a few weeks my skin started to clear completely. I've been using this range for around 2 years now, and for the first time I now feel confident to not wear make up out and about. I still get the odd blemish but this is the clearest my skin has ever been.

A must

After using the 3 steps for a total of 2 weeks my acne/oily production went down severely. I had really bad hormonal acne/ cystic acne around my jawline, chin etc, this toner really healed it. Thdownside

Works well as part of a regime

Ive used clinique for a significant period of time. It works for me as part of a regime.
