Review 1 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
now THIS is a toner!
-05.08.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
Love this toner, love the packaging! My skin feels clean and treated and it looks brighter and clearer, it does not leave a tacky feeling like some toners do, and it really balances my oily skin.....NO shine, even hours later! Amazing!

Review 2 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Toner
-05.06.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
I have acne-prone skin and have to see a dermatologist and get prescribed a whole bunch of medicine (not Accutane) but this is the only toner I will use on my face.
My acne is caused from hormones and stress (obviously) so this toner works with all that. The woman at Sephora told me there is an ingredient in the toner that helps with acne caused by hormones so maybe that is why I only use this because I know it works.
This will always be a staple in my skin regimen.

Review 3 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Love this stuff
-04.18.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
I have acne prone skin and as someone who is constantly looking for a miracle product, I am SO GLAD i tried this toner. It really gives a clean feeling & especially after a day at the gym or a hot summer day, my face needs this. I have noticed a considerable change since using this product. I have tried other KS products and they were just OK, but this is so far the only thing in her line I love and highly recommend!

Review 4 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
It's a good product
-04.17.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating
Pros: The bottle is awesome. It does clean your face nicely and even out your skin tone. It stings a bit afterwards, which I feel like it is working.
Cons: A tad bit drying since it is an acne treatment. That makes your face produce more oil.. So I use it every other day at night. It uses up quickly, small bottle, expensive.

Review 5 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Truly clarifying
-04.13.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
I thought that I couldn't tell the difference in my skin with this product, but after an evening of skipping it, there it was. This makes my skin glowy, fresh, and smooth. The pump makes it very convenient. I <3 Kate Somerville products and this is another I will continue to purchase!

Review 6 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Great toner for acne prone sensitive skin
-04.11.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
I love this toner, I suffer from sporadic cystic acne on my chin and this has tamed the beast. My forehead is a tiny bit oily but the rest of my skin is normal around this time of year. When I use this it helps to keep the rest of my face feeling so soft and clean and yet has helped to clear up my trouble area.
It hasn't been a miracle on my acne where it just disappears, but looking at it realistically with my type of acne that takes forever to clear up, this has done wonders to suppress and correct my adult acne prone skin. When I started using this toner I had one or two minor breakouts on my forehead and a few bad breakouts of cystic acne on my chin. The first time using this product I was instantly pleased by how nice my skin felt. It wasn't dry at all compared to when I would use other toners that would dry my skin and I was just hoping that this world help tone down and clear my acne since I loved it so far. About a week in my forehead was cleared up completely. After about 2-3 weeks of use I still have the marks left over from the acne healing but has not proceeded to get any more worse. I do believe that this has controlled the problems that I have with my skin and I can't wait until I see the full results of this amazing product.
Also as a side note, I do have very sensitive skin and I w scared about using a toner being too harsh.. However with the recommendation and help from a Sephora team member at my local store in Lancaster ant the Park City Mall I decided to trust his advice and I am so glad I did! It was one of the best purchases I've made for my skin :)

Review 10 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Irritated, Red Skin!!
-02.04.13
This toner, while somewhat effective, irritated my not-easily irritated skin. EVERYTIME I used it, I had bright red marks where I rubbed it on my skin. While it did treat some (not all) of my acne, it is not worth it for the redness and irritation that came with it.

Review 11 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Review 12 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
-01.22.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
I have super oily, acne prone, sensitive skin. I was able to use this for three weeks with no irritation. Although it helped with redness, it did not help control the oiliness. It actually made me more oily! It did help with bigger breakouts but I noticed a lot more blackheads on my chin area. Also noticed a bit of a difference in pore size.

Review 14 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Two Week Assessment
-01.02.13
I haven't been using this long enough for the it to have done much work on lightening acne scars (that, understandably, takes a lot more than two weeks). I do like that it gets all of the little remaining traces of dirt missed by a cleanser and that it clarifies my skin. Love that it has phytic acid and lactic acid to help with acne scars which are my biggest problem. I ditched my previous brand for Kate Sommerville specifically because of these ingredients. I think I see some fading, though it is hard to tell this early in the process.

Ehhhh...
-12.29.12
Quick Take: refreshing
I was excited from all the great reviews but its not doing much to my skin although it does clean well and doesn't burn. Another downer is it won't last long so it will b pretty pricey.

Review 16 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
So far so good...
-12.19.12
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
I enjoy the toner so far, but I feel like I have to use at least 4 or 5 pumps, pretty pricy for such a small bottle, but it is getting the impurities out, I haven't seen much as far as the scars fading, but I suppose it will come in time...

Fresh and Clean!
-12.05.12
I have tried several toners and this is one of the only ones I feel like it's actually doing something great on my skin! It's not too harsh but feels like it's doing the right amount of toning/cleaning!

Review 19 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
Very promising so far!
-12.04.12
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating, tightening, alcohol-free
I've picked this up at the last second looking for a toner while I was in Sephora. I've tried the Boscia toning mist before and it wasn't really doing anything for my skin. So far, this toner has helped clear the residual acne on my face and has subdued the scars that I have.
I really, REALLY appreciate that there's no alcohol in the toner, so it doesn't burn. It's that nice balance between gentle and effective where it can wipe off the remaining dirt on my face without making it sting. I find there's more of a tightening feeling afterwards, not necessarily drying.
The price is kind of expensive, but seems to be worth it so far. I hope this toner improves my skin with continued use. Will update sometime later with continued use.

Review 20 for Clarifying Treatment Toner
New go-to
-12.02.12
I recently felt the need to add a toner to my skincare routine and decided on this one and am SO glad I did. My skin is clearer. I notice a nice "glow" after I use it. It does not overdry my skin (normal/dry) and does not leave any kind of residue. Reasonably priced for the quality/quantity.
