I love this toner for refreshing my skin any time of day. It's great after cleansing, and it's fabulous in the summertime for helping perspiration and soothing skin. I've used it for many years,...

This has the consistency of water. I'll leave that up to you to decide if that's a pro or con. I bought this after missing out the first time it was on the market. When Paula's Choice brought it...

This toner breaks me out! I feel like this has ruined the whole treatment I've been using (with 2% BHA and Skin Balancing Cleanser) for two weeks and it actually makes my skin glow! But after I...

I found this toner harsh and rather sting-y to my rosacea and this was the toner they recommended to me to buy for the warmer months. Not impressed.

I love that Paula's toners don't have alcohol and actually feel good on the skin. This helped reduce redness in my skin and prep for the products I put on after.

I HAD THE SAMPLE At first I thought this would be sticky. Instead it felt liquid like and milky wich may appeal to dry skin types. This also came off as very soothing.

I have combination-acne prone skin and I'm using retin-a, so I have to be gentle with it with my other products. I use the Skin Recovery toner at night, 30+ minutes before my retin-a and I wanted...

I cannot comment about the refreshing effectiveness of this toner as each time I tried to use it I felt a light buring sensation on my whole face, as well as sudden redness. Maybe this comes from...

Love this toner, but there are two problems: 1. it needs a squirt top with a flip cap (don't know the industry terms). Not just a screw top lid. 2. it needs to be MUCH bigger. 6 fl. oz? People go...

This is a review for the "hydralight" healthy skin refreshing toner. I think she's changed the name because the ingredients are the same. This is the 3rd Paula's Choice toner I've tried, and the...

So far I like all of Paula's toners. They're all alcohol free and packed with good ingredients. I used to only use a toner when my skin was really irritated from washing and I needed to prime it...

I used a sample of this and it is an OK toner. It removes the last traces of make-up and leaves my skin feeling fresh. I just do not find it necessary in my skin routine, so I would not purchase a...

This product was unremarkable to me. I had high hopes, since it has a bunch of beneficial ingredients, but it was just an average/ok toner for me. Didn't make any diff to my skin, good or bad and...
