This toner works amazing! I'm not usually a big toner person, but I was having some pigment issues and acne breakouts so I decided to incorporate a good toner into my regime to help exfoliate and encourage cell turnover. After just one week I noticed an improvement. It's gentle enough to use everyday, and doesn't dry me out (although I have fairly oily skin). It has a slight stinging sensation, but nothing painful and it lasts only a second when you apply it. I use a cottonball and sweep outwards all over my face, then apply my nighttime moisturizer. This toner uses Pumpkin Wine and it smells like pumpkin pie! Which is delicious. I wouldn't want to use it in the morning though or else you'll smell like pumpkin all day, but it's perfect for at night. The biggest downfall is the price...like all PCA Skin stuff it's pretty expensive, I got mine for $40 on sale which is still really steep for a toner. But the bottle will last me a long time, and hey, you pay for quality right! Will continue to use this and would recommend for anyone who is having trouble controlling breakouts and struggling with uneven pigment.
