Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, non-irritating
This product does not irritate or dry-out my skin. My face feels refreshed after I apply this toner. Although I was disappointed with the cleanser that goes with this toner, the toner is alright.

Refreshing
-05.14.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
I have stopped using toners for a long time bc they always dried and irritated may skin. After reading the reviews, I gave it a try. AND I LOVE IT! Initially there is a "stinging" sensation, ( not like rubbing alcohol on a cut stinging), like a minty/cooling. I have sensitive combination skin and oily T-zone. I have been using this mornings and nights everyday for 3 weeks. My skin texture has improved. The pores on my cheeks are smaller and im less oily. My skin looks healthier and brighter. FYI, I would not use this if your face is sunburnt, it will sting.

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
I'm 18 and have had acne since I was 10 (awful, I know) I got it under control through highschool but when I went away to college BAM the most oily my skin has ever been in my whole life. Since using this my poors are nearly invisible and my black heads (which were out of control) are pretty much gone! I definitely reccomend this product if you have oily skin like me. This was my first Murad product and won't be my last! Great product

I use all Murad face products for years. Once I left to use something else my skin is not the same. I'm a faithful Murad user.

Quick Take: non-drying, burns
I have sever acne and very oily skin. This product helps clean my face after washing, but it is irritating to my skin. The product has a strong smell and burns a little. I will continue to use this bottle, but I probably won't buy it again.

Burns!!!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: drying
The main ingredient is witch hazel but it felt like alcohol! I teared up for quite some time and tried it for awhile but I had to return it because my skin could not tolerate the strength. It also made me very dry around my mouth and chin. I had hopes for this as part of the system but no such luck.

Fresh-feeling toner
-04.08.13
Quick Take: non-drying, non-tingling, refreshing
I'd been using Ole Henrickson's cucumber toner, but it was out of stock when I needed to replenish. This toner is a great alternative. It definitely makes my skin feel refreshed, and there is no drying or tingling sensation from alcohol. This may become my toner of choice for future purchases.

I started with the 30-day kit at the suggestion of my facialist a few months ago. I love this system. Make sure you wait about 10 minutes after applying for your skin to absorb it before applying your hydrator. I use about a nickel sized amount more my entire face and neck.

Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
The first time I used this product, man... It burned like never before. However, it left my skin very nice and refresh and even glowing! not exaggerating!
It is a great toner! it doesn't dry your skin, it leaves skin smooth and fresh.
Definitely recommend this product but beware of the mild burning sensation

Love the tingling sensation
-03.10.13
Quick Take: non-drying, control oils, non-irritating
I decided to try something new on my skin, since I have been using Proactiv for years. After I use, I was in love with this toner I love the tingling sensation on my skin after I use it. Its a must try and you will love it. Does not dry out my skin and I do see that it shrinks my pores. It does well to control oil.

Excellent!
-03.04.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, pore minimizer
This toner has helped me so much. I have only been using it for 3 weeks now. I am 28 years old, my acne has reduced a lot,and now i use murad products for maintenance. However, I have had enlarged pores on my cheeks for years now. I spoke to a skin consultant at Sephora and he only recommended this to me. In three weeks, I have seen my pores shrink, and my skin start to look flawless without make up. It's nice when others notice your skin looks different, which means its working!

-03.01.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
This toner works well on oily/acne prone skin. It reduces shine and doesn't strip your skin of necessary moisture. I have repurchased this a few times already, and I think it's shown good results.

The worst toner
-02.25.13
i dont usually give bad reviews about any product but this toner is the worst one i ever bought at sephora.. moreover, i got recommended by skin care specialist from sephora. Once i apply it on my face, i felt like the alcohol bottle was poured down on my face. I felt burning sensation at once. The smell was like alcohol too. Not only i am going to return it, i will probably talk to the supervisor cuz my eyes could have been blinded

good product
-02.21.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
This is a good high quality product. My esthetician has been bugging me to switch to Murad for a long time so i decided to give it a shot. It hasn't done any dramatic improvements to my skin but my skin does feel fresher and cleaner after i use it. I'm planning to keep using this toner on a daily basis.
