Paula's Choice SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Face Toner for Combination and Oily Skin, Minimizes Large Pores, Controls Oil & Shine, Hydrates & Replenishes, Suitable for Acne-Prone Skin

I’ve tried dozens of different skincare products over the past year. These included various serums, creams, moisturizers, retinals, etc. among both inexpensive and premium skincare options, some with an msrp close to $300. My primary concerns are large pores, buccal fat causing noticeable creasing, dark circles, fine lines and frequent hyperpigmentation from the slightest irritations.Out of all the skincare I’ve tried, Paula’s choice was the most consistently performing duo by far. Many products left my face with a matte wax-like sheen or looking super greasy. Paula’s Choice toner and exfoliator always leave me with a nice even tone with fewer noticeable wrinkles and nicely tight pores for a more youthful appearance. Both are easy to apply with cotton swabs or pads and can be used with other products. I was applying all kinds of different products before realizing they weren’t needed. A bottle of Paula’s choice toner paired with a bottle of Paula’s choice exfoliator and followed up with a moisturizer has turned into my super quick yet massively effective skincare routine. All of those other products were seemingly overkill. This toner and the companion exfoliator is all that was needed.

The Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner is a commendable addition to skincare routines for those with combination to oily skin. Its ability to control oil and provide hydration without irritation makes it a reliable choice. However, if pore size reduction is your primary concern, results may vary. Overall, it's a well-formulated product that aligns with Paula's Choice's reputation for effective and gentle skincare solutions.

Every single one of their products is INSANELY GOOD. Has changed my skin completely!! Use this and their exfoliate and your skin will not be the same!!!!!! My pours are noticeably different and i’m obsessed.

I KNOW the quality of her products are good. Her prices are very reasonable. This the third product of hers I've bought.

I am definitely seeing a difference. I have huge pores and it has minimized my pores and I have noticed it. I highly recommend this product!

It really helped clear up my oily skin! I use it once every morning on my face and noticed a huge difference in just a couple weeks.

I've been holding off on thid review, hoping for something to justify its price. However, I have not found anything to do so. While its a good toner, its exactly that, just a good toner.I was using a drug store witch hazel toner before this. I have oily skin that does so much better without tuner, letting my face wash and matching moisturizer do its thing. However, toner is a must to thoroughly clean your face and remove skin flaking (I use cvs brand exfoliating cotton rounds, nothing compares to them).I don't have acne, so I can't speak for that aspect. I can say I have noticed in comparison to the toner I was using prior, I blot my face less. However, I still have to blot all day, so this toner isn't really doing me much of a favor. And again, this is also combined with a great face wash and moisturizer for oily skin.Overall, I don't see the $22 price tag I bought it for as justifiable. I've used many oily skin products over the years, from drug store to department store; from my experience, this toner is over-priced. Maybe it will work for you, and work well for acne. For myself, I will be trying other brands in hope to one day find a toner that has real oil control.

Loving this toner even though it's small and I still have a lot more left. Only need a few drops to put on your face and it's powerless. The bottle looks bigger on here but I love this product.
