Oil-free Witch Hazel! Get past the scent and its worth it!! Only $5 for a bottle compared to $14 for Clinique…
I also have to go with good, old-fashioned Witch Hazel. I’ve tried more expensive products in the past, but I never noticed much of a difference. In fact,Witch Hazel is a primary ingredient in many high priced toners
Yes! I’m also going with Witch Hazel. I started using it at the end of last year and I’ve noticed that my skin has considerable calm down since using it and it still keeps my skin calm!
i just can’t go past the smell 🙁 smells like rotten bananas.
forgot to mention …I am trying this new brand. Simple Skincare soothing facial toner. The 3rd ingredient is witch hazel and its fragrance free and alcohol free!
I’m English so simple isn’t new to me. I’ve loved almost everything I’ve tried except this. Here it doesn’t have witch hazel in it though :s?
Put me down for witch hazel too! I mostly use it plain but I have a second bottle with WH mixed with crushed aspirin for times when my skin is acting up (aka, TOTM).
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
Something wrong with my skin…
Many of my friends love this product but I can’t use it..
I tried for 2 weeks and started to grow white spots everywhere on lower part of my face especially my chin
And had to stop after that..
I tried one more time few months later after my skin goty better as it s v expensive and I might have eaten something cause the spots at that time
But same problem again
At the end I just gave it to my friend who loves it. 🙁
mario badescu glycolic toner
My favorite is the Hada Lobo Hyaluronic Acid toner 🙂 It’s seriously the BEST at getting rid of dead skin when used with a cotton pad (even after having washed my face etc) and my skin feels so soft/smooth after using it 🙂

I use the blue bottle version though, which also includes Arbutin for whitening.
Olay Refreshing Toner. <3
Santa Maria Novella Rose Water or Mario Badescu aloe vera toner. Both toner without any alcohol content…..Alcohol strips away the natural oil and I am referring to Clinique’s toners. Also, Clarins toner are great. So is Kiehls Calendula Herbal Extract Toner….pricey.
i use thayer’s alcohol-free rose petal witch hazel. my skin is dry, sensitive, and prone to breakouts (welcome to adult acne, folks). this is refreshing, gentle, smells great, and lasts because the bottle’s pretty big. $8 for a lot of product, and it has vitamin e and aloe vera to soothe your skin. i used proactiv’s before, but that just tightened my skin and made it shiny. this rose one is great product that really balances and rejuvenates the skin.
agreed with using thayers! Your skin sounds like mine, except it’s combination oily with dry flakes (even flakey ON the oily areas!) Ugh…it’s a nightmare. I’d love to know what sort of foundation you use if you like yours…
My skin loves Nars Hydrating Freshening Lotion. My wallet, less so… but it keeps the flakies away when nothing else will.
IMO Lancome Tonique Confort is the best. I use toner almost every day and I can see a noticeable difference when I don’t. This toner is slightly moisturizing so it makes itchy sensitive skin feel so much better and accept other skin treatments better as well. Love it!
Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner. My skin texture has improved since using it & it is very reasonably priced! It also lasts awhile which is a great plus. My skin always feels resreshed after use & literally leaves me smelling like roses! Love it.
Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic, best I’ve ever tried. And I’ve tried a lot for my oily skin.
Biotherm biosource. It doesn’t burn my skin! But a lot of the other ones do! ( like Clinique)
I use Jason’s Organics C-Effects Super-C Toner, Avalon Organics CoQ10 Repair Perfecting Facial Toner and Clinique Clarifying Lotion, they’re my favorites.
I never liked toner until an esthetician recommended Murad’s Vitamin C toner. Now I LOVE it!
I tried the other day during my facial section and it seems really nice.:)
I think I might go back to buy it.
Paula’s Choice Resist Advanced Replinishing Toner. My skin has gotten drier over the years and this helps moisturize plus remove the last traces of makeup. In summer I only need to use this for my moisturizer.
MAC Lightful COllection Skin Softening Lotion Toner $30
Smells absolutely wonderful and leaves my skin so soft before applying my moisturizer.
Proactiv, by far:)
I liked the Revitalizing Ginseng Toner by Renée Rouleau. It doesn’t contain alcohol and it doesn’t dry my skin.
Your dog is adorable! OT, I know, but sooo cute had to comment.
DDF 10% Glycolic Toner
Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner
DDF Glycolic 10% Toning Complex. This stuff is a godsend!! A bit on the pricey side ($40 for 8 oz) but a bottle lasts me months. I noticed a huge improvement within a few weeks of every day use, my skin is normally on the dry and congested side but this stuff makes it look healthy and radiant.
I love the clinique clarifying lotion. I use #4 in the summer when my skin tends to be more oily and #3 in winter. It’s fantastic!
For my everyday toner I like Caudalie Beauty Elixir and Pai Rice Plant & Rosemary BioAffinity Toner. For my “serious business” nighttime toner I like Alpha H Liquid Gold Glycolic Toner
Neutrogena ALCOHOL FREE
Or Elizabeth Arden ALCOHOL FREE
My skin has been loving Shiseido’s Balancing Softener.
Clinique Clarifying lotion! I’ve been using it for a while, and it has helped me with my acne so far! I got the number 4, it could be a little bit drying at first, but if you moisturize well, you won’t have any problem.
Kiehls – Photo-Age Activated Toner
Skinfood’s Peach Sake Toner <3
I love it too and doesn’t burn at all. Smells soooo good!
I really like Amore Pacific’s Alcohol-Free Treatment Toner and Kahina’s Toner Mist
Clinique’s Clarifying lotion 1 and Paula’s choice Resist Toner
Rhonda Allison Raspberry Lotion. By far the best toner for my sensitive, acne prone, combination skin. Pretty much anything by RA is fabulous. The Eye Lift cream is equally amazing.
LUSH’s Breath of Fresh Air!
any of Renee Rouleau’s…I’ve tried quite a few and love ’em!
Kiehl’s Calendula Toner is not only my favorite toner, but my HG skincare product! This calms my skin on contact, no matter the culprit. Plus, it’s a must have for oily or blemish prone skin.
I’ve been using neutrogena alcohol free for years. I tried switching to Mario badescu seaweed toner but it broke me out. I also tried the toner from simple with which hazel but it was too light.
Erno Laszlo Light Controlling Lotion. I’m on my 3rd bottle!
Clarins Toning Lotion with Camomile
This. It has been a staple of mine for about 8 years now. Nothing else feels as nice.
Paula’s Choice Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner, which works well on my combination skin, especially in the morning.
The iLike Blackthorn toner is the best
For me the best toner would be from the brand eskinol. The best part of the product you can still see the dirt that is left on your face even you already washed it twice. Even the other version works a lot especially if you have pimples.
This toner helped my skin so much =)
I like Sea Breeze Astringent.
