reviews for Murad Essential-C Toner
Review 1 for Essential-C Toner
Toner is good but spray is less than desirable
-05.29.13
Quick Take: refreshing
I like this toner but I wish the spray bottle sent out a more even and misty spray. I feel like I have to spray it multiple times to get full coverage on my face and then it feels too wet. A bottle that sent out a wider and most mist like spray would be better to release this nice product.

Review 2 for Essential-C Toner
USe all three for best results
-05.01.13
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
About 3 years ago I had a Murad facial in London and it was the best facial I ever had. And it was the first time the beautician actually spotted that my skin was combination and not just dry. So I bought the serum, toner and day cream in the C range (orange). Since then my skin is fabulous. I love these products. The last facial I had (not a Murad), the beautician told me that my skin was so fantastic that I did not need a facial and told me to come back for a massage as my shoulder was tight :) Try Murad and you will never use anything else, I never have. Start with a spritz of the toner, then the serum and then the moisturiser. I have never found anything that works this well. I am not paid to say this, I genuinely love Murad products and my skin has never been happier.

Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying
I love this toner!! It takes excess dirt off while refreshing my skin, then leaves it slightly tingly. Slight orange scent

Review 5 for Essential-C Toner
Odd smell + parabens!?
-04.01.13
Quick Take: non-drying
This is one of the first products I've considered returning to Sephora but haven't taken the time. I'll use it for a little while longer because I hate to waste money, but not sure why other reviewers like the smell. It's kind of foul PLUS if you read the ingredients it has hydrogenated oil, parabens and sorbitol in it! Gross!

Review 6 for Essential-C Toner
Murad Essential C Toner
-03.01.13
Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying
This is my 2nd bottle of the product. It's become part of my daily face card routine - it's non-drying, refreshing, and it has ingredients that I feel help protect against further damage from the elements. The recommended application is spraying directly on the face, but I apply with a cotton pad.

Conditioner for the face
-12.19.12
I used to have extremely dry, sometimes leathery skin which for some reason also gets extremely oily (imagine oil on top of dry patches..not pretty). And my pores gets clogged very easily from cream-based moisturizers. This was a solution to both. I was skeptical at first because even the heaviest creams have not been able to moisturize my skin. I did not think something water based that I sprayed on my face could actually hydrate for any length of time. I spray this on after every time I wash my face it has the feeling of being conditioned. It's a slightly oily feeling at first but absorbs quickly and leaves nothing but soft skin. And as a very lazy person when it comes to my skin regimen, I LOVE how its so fast and easy to use. I close my eyes and spray on my face and then pat it in a little and Im ready to go! With a twice daily use, my dry skin is now gone. This bottle will last like..forever. Ive been using it for 2 months twice daily and it's still 75% full. When I first used this toner, I used to slather another gel based moisturizer on top and this has helped soften my skin and allow the other product to sink in better. Now though, this toner is the only thing i use for moisturizer and it works for my severly dry/combination skin! One of my best beauty buys

Review 12 for Essential-C Toner
Love it!!!
-12.07.12
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, brightening
Ever since I started using this with my skin care regimen, I've noticed that my skin is brighter and my dark spots are getting just a wee bit lighter. I always go back for this toner every month.

Review 13 for Essential-C Toner
Won't reorder again
-12.06.12
Quick Take: great product needs different means of applying
This is a good product but a bit scary. Tells you that you MUST NOT get it in or near eyes or mouth. Then why does it come in a spray bottle, does NOT make any sense at all. Once I have used it up, which I use a cotton ball and do not spray it, I will not reorder this specific toner, will be looking for a new one.

Great Toner

Quick Take: awesome, balancing, must-have
I really love this toner for my dry and sensitive skin. Whenever I haven't used it, I can see how tired my skin gets and notice a HUGE different when I use the product again. I find that it also helps my skin retain more moisture.

Good for discoloration, but can dry skin out
-10.26.12
I used this product after a recommendation from my facialist. Over the course of a few months, it seemed to help lessen the redness from past breakouts. My skin was oily at the time, so the drying effects weren't so bad.
It has a pleasant smell to it, and wasn't at all sticky. I think it also helped curb some of my breakouts.

Review 20 for Essential-C Toner
Great toner
-09.23.12
Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying, light, air dries
I just purchased this and it feels good. I am 27 with some minor sun spots and under eye darkening. It has vitamin C which is great for skin brightening. The girl was very knowledgeable and I love this product. It's in a spray bottle so you'll waste less than putting it into a cotton ball and then on your face.
