Advantages: Works well

Disadvantages: Open neck bottle

I bought this product completely on a whim as I was browsing round Boots for something new to try! It costs £2.93 in Boots for a 200ml bottle.

It comes in a green plastic bottle, but it is semi-transparent so you can always easily see how much you have left. It has a screw on lid which comes off to reveal an open-neck where you just pour the toner out from. The lid fastens tightly enough to be secure for travelling, but I would prefer some kind of applicator on top of the bottle rather than just the open-neck, as I find these a bit of a pain to use sometimes, and you can easily end up with far too much of the toner.

To use it you just apply some to a cotton pad and sweep it over your face. The toner is a watery liquid with a fresh, clean scent to it, but the scent is not really noticeable. It feels light and fresh, and quite cooling when you apply it to the skin, and I do find it soothes my skin which can be quite sensitive.

It doesn't overstrip the skin or dry it out making it feel tight, like so many other toners do. It easily removes last traces of dirt and grime after cleansing, and makes my skin feel super clean and fresh. I'm left with really soft, smooth, clean skin, which helps my moisturiser go on so smoothly and evenly.

I'm quite impressed with this toner, it does everything it should do without leaving me with dry, stripped, tight skin, and it's a decent price too.

Summary: Pretty good
