Great Tonic
-05.10.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
This is great, doesn't smell & feels good on my skin, I think the oil on my face is less since I started using it, the fact that it doesn't have any gross chemicals in it is the reason I bought it, and I am happy I did!

Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying
Very aptly named product. This has worked best with my combination skin compared to other toners I've used in recent years (Clinique, Ole Henricksen, etc). It cleans without drying and softens my skin without any residue feeling. For perspective: I used to break out (3-5 blemishes) weekly - I have been using this toner 1-3 times a day for about 6 weeks now, and have maaaybe gotten two small new blemishes throughout that entire time.

I have oily skin and i love this stuff. Does not irritate my skin. Does not sting. And it gets the job done. I would look somewhere else if you have very dry skin

Terribly irritating.
-05.05.13
First of all I wouldn't have purchased this product had all the ingredients been listed on the website.
I am severely sensitive to wheat products and this toner contains wheat.
Unfortunately for me I assumed that a toner wouldn't contain wheat and after using it for a week I had a severe breakout. I read the label and there it was. I promptly returned this toner.
This could have been avoided had all the ingredients been listed.

Does what it says.
-04.26.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, exfoliating
Great toner for combination skin. doesn't overdry my dry areas and manages my oily areas. without it, my skin gets a lot oilier- quicker. smells like tree-bark though, but I can look past that since the results are good.

I found it to be a little drying. Would work best during summer time, when my skin is the most oily.

Quick Take: awesome
I bought this tonic a few weeks ago and I'm becoming a definite fan. It's fantastic for AM pre-makeup prep (helps makeup go on more smoothly) and feels great on skin at the end of the day. My combination skin has really taken to it.

I had been using the clinique toner previously and decided to try this origins toner...and I LOVE IT, although I've only been using it for a week, I've already noticed a difference, my face NEEDS toner, and this one works perfectly for me and I totally recommend it to anyone with combination skin

-02.25.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating
My skin is sensitive and oily so I am always afraid to try something new. I was using a toner before that worked fine but alchohol irritates me and I dont like the alcholic smell. I felt it was opening my pores too. I was looking for natural product that doesn't interfere with my skin and doesn't irritate me with its smell. I have been trying this for a month now and I like it so far. Smells great no harse chemically smell and feels light on your skin.

My fave toner

I have used Origins products on and off for years. They are always excellent for my skin. This toner gets the oil, dirt and residue off without drying out my skin.

I cant say it is WOW, but ok, smells a little bit strong, like
alcohol, but I am not sensitive to odor, so it didnt make any differences for me. So, I gave 4 stars because, I cant say it is GREAT, but I never say it about any product. But it is good, ok, not bad.

Quick Take: cleansing, gentle, refreshing
I love it. It's so gentle and refreshing. I love that is doesn't dry out my face. That is a fear that I have with most toners. But even if it isn't harsh it still manages to get any excess dirt left by my face wash. It doesn't irritate my skin and has a pleasant scent. I use it twice a day and I am going to keep using it.

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
I have combination sensitive skin so it is hard to find products that work well with my skin. This along with the Origins Zero Oil Cleanser and moisturizer is amazing. I use it in the am and pm. Keeps my face feeling clean all day, I have had no breakouts, the oily parts are not oily and draw parts stay moisturized.

Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
Finally, a toner that doesn't dry my skin. It removes dirt that I missed during my routine. You'll know if I run out of this because those pimples will say hi again. Like what the name says it does balance everything in my face.

I love all origin products. I have tried to venture away from this product but always end up coming back. It definitely helps keep the shine and oil at bay. I like the smell and it is a gentle toner. It leaves my skin refreshed and clean. Although it is gentle, it does take out all the extra gunk that my toner might have missed, and for that I am very thankful! I use it both day and night! It might just be my holy-grail toner.

I really enjoyed this toner (I just finished the entire bottle). It always took off whatever makeup that my cleanser missed, and kept my forehead from becoming oily throughout the day- a great recommendation by a staff member at Sephora! It really accomplished what it promised.
