Quick Take: waste of money
Was so hopeful about this product. My face started breaking out almost immediately but I stuck it out for 3 weeks hoping for a miracle...no such luck. I guess I should be glad I didn't love this product considering the price!

Great as a toner
-03.29.13
Gets leftover residue off. Haven't noticed a difference in my skin. Wanted to love this product, but I don't after a month of use. After I use this up I will be purchasing a LESS expensive toner that will do something for my skin other than clean it.

Nothing special
-03.22.13
Quick Take: non-drying, average, odourless
I went out on a limb and splurged for this ridiculously expensive toner. I guess I thought that for the price, it must be something special. Sadly, I was not that impressed. After a few weeks of usage, I haven't noticed any real difference in my skin. All I noticed was that while it didn't irritate my skin, it didn't do anything that great either. Will use up bottle just because of how much it was *sigh*

Gentle toner not lotion
-03.21.13
Quick Take: not worth the money...
Though it said lotion the texture acts more of a toner yet a lot of gentler. It does nourish your face and brighten a little, it is not as moisturizing as the actual moisturizer. I would recommend this if you have oily skin tone. For dry skin, look for other hydrating/moisturizing lotions. It did not meet my expectations, therefore, I had to send it back. Other than that, the scent is nice.

Works like a charm

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
Yes this lotion acts just like a toner but don't be fooled it is so much better and best of all it is effective. Most times when you think of toner you automatically think drying, striping, or harsh feeling but this quite different. It is gentle, refreshing, and leaves your face super clean and balanced with no drying feel. I follow this up with the SK II Essential Power Moisterizing Cream a.m and p.m. (for little over a month now) and together this has truly transformed my oily/acne prone skin. There are no more breakouts, my skin tone is evened out, no redness around the nose, my skin is super soft that my husband actually noticed and made a comment on, and my oily skin is now normalized. Wished I would have found this product sooner. Give this a try!!!

My skin hates toners but not this one. This is the first toner type product that I’ve ever tried that hasn’t irritated my skin. I just finished my first bottle and I cant wait to get more.

If you have acne, this is a must have investment.

Quick Take: amazing, not an actual lotion, like a toner
I have been blessed with great skin most of my life. Then suddenly in the last month BLAMMMO ADULT ACNE! FAIL. I have had to change my entire routine to accommodate this unwelcome visitor. I am a big believer in SKII products and this product has been no exception. I would say this is my favorite product of the line thus far...considering the acne issue. I use this twice a day, morning and night all over my face. I saw immediate results, in the first two days my acne had become nearly obsolete. I also believe it has kept other breakouts at bay. I love it, I will repurchase for sure.

Clean you can see
-12.11.12
Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying, cleansing
I have acne and acne prone skin. It is combination to oily and I own a Clarisonic. A friend of mine got me hooked on witch hazel which is suppose to be good for acne. I use it as a toner and I really love the clear liquid. After cleaning my face with my clarisonic, I apply the WH toner on a cotton pad to remove any extra residue. I am the kind of person that likes to see dirt, it makes me feel like the product is working... so on my WH toner, I felt really clean and happy that my Clarisonic was removing all traces of makeup and dead skin cells. I am also using retina A .1% so I sometimes experience dry patches/sensitivity to certain creams. With so much hype about this product and me loving the concept of clear, refreshing liquids, I bite the bullet and brought it. This product is AMAZING! I have been using it for one month (which sadly was how long the bottle lasted), maybe I am using too much.. but anyways... after cleaning with my face with the Clarisonic, I apply a small amount to the white cotton pad and wipe my face... the pad turned brown after I was finished EVERY TIME. I examined the cotton pad and sure enough, more dirt, traces of makeup and dead cell (resulting from the high cell turnover rate of using retina A) were seen on the pad. I was hooked. It did not burn my skin. Even when I broke out and had a cut from an open pimple (bad me, I know) it didn't burn. My WH toner would burn any open wound spots but this clear lotion did not. It is refreshing and non-drying, removes completely any traces of yuke on your face. It does nothing for my acne but this isn't for acne. It is for thorough cleansing of the skin and it does just that. The clear liquid makes it non-greasy and very good for Texas summers. in the winter time, I don't have a problem with it being over drying. I find it smoothing to my irradiated skin when I am on my retina A routine. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to clean their skin completely. While WH toner is a cheaper alternative, the difference is really drastic when the two cotton balls are compared next to each other. Invest in this product!

Not for me.

As much as I wanted it to this product did not work for me. I've gone from kid acne to teen acne to adult acne so I have to use toner that is specific to acne. This is not.

great toner
-11.28.12
Quick Take: non-drying
All of the Sk11 products i have tried so far I have been very happy with, including this toner. It is not a facial lotion as described, it is a clear toner. I have only been using the SK11 products for a few weeks now, but I really see a difference in my skin.

Quick Take: acne treating, clarifying, toning, perfecting
This product is amazing! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was expecting a "creamy lotion" from the description but when the product arrived it was identical in clarity and water-like consistency to my SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. That said, there is something about this product that works like nothing I've tried before. After using it for 2 weeks my skin is clear, smooth and glowing! It looks better than it has in years. I use this product - applying a thin layer over my entire face - every night after washing my face and almost every morning before applying light make-up (I no longer need to use as much make-up or cover-up since I started using SK-II !) If I skip a day I notice my skin starting to revert back to dullness, unevenness and break outs. I will definitely be purchasing this product again and again!!

I love it. It doesn't dry my skin and doesn't make my skin breakout. I have an acne-prone, sensitive skin and it calms down my skin. Definitely will buy again.

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
Sensitive, rosacea, blemish-prone, oily; extremely difficult is how I would describe my skin. I have been using this for about 8 weeks, along with the Treatment Essence. This stuff rocks! I also use it after cleansing in the morning (if I work out at night, I swipe my face with Philosophy's anti-acne pads instead). This, followed by the Essence, has literally done wonders. The texture of my skin around my mouth/chin area has always been a struggle breaking out, scarring, discoloration, you name it. The skin there has smoothed out DRASTICALLY. So much smoother, softer, and haven't had one single breakout since I have started! Cannot recommend this enough! I just recently purchased the Cellumination cream, and hope to see continued benefits. Although the price point is high, with the great return policy here, I would say try it out! If it worked this great on my crazy skin, I'm convicted it'd be awesome for anybody!

Gave up using Toners until this One!
-09.20.12
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, gentle
I really like this toner and I am on my second bottle! I see the description says it is creamy but it is not, it is clear. It is gentle and extremely refreshing without beign drying or irritating. I use it after my cleanser and before the SK-II Essense Treatment Lotion which I absolutely love.
So glad Sephora is carrying this line as I have been using it for awhile now. have not found a product in this line I do not like, especially the Facial Treatment Masks! A Must!!!
