great toner for sensitive skin
Review by Jennifer
-
I find this toner to be absolutely perfect for my sensitive combination skin. It is a little thicker than many of the other PC toners; it feels almost like a thin serum. But, it hydrates, soothes and removes any last traces of make-up or dirt. Though, to be honest, the Earth Sourced cleanser does an excellent job and doesn't leave behind much of anything. I use it after cleansing with the Earth Sourced gel and before the 2% BHA gel. In the warm and humid summer months I only need to use a moisturizer around my eyes. The toner and BHA gel provide enough.Product Rating
My sensitive skin cannot tolerate most skin care products. I have even sensitized to some of PC's products. But, this toner is fantastic and will be a staple in my skin care routine for as long as it's available (please, please NEVER stop producing this!!!)
One more thing - I also smooth a little of this over my skin after I shave. It helps prevent razor burn that can appear around my bikini line in the summer. It's very soothing. I wonder if men might find this to be a good all-natural alternative to after shave. (Posted on 06/07/2012) -
Exceptional !

Fabulous toner for sensitive, irritated skins. While I can't used many PC's toners without warming/burning sensation (Skin Balancing, Hydralight and Moisture Boost), I felt in love with this toner because it is very soothing on my skin. It has almost the consistency of egg white and glides over the skin (the high hyaluronic content I presume), I can either apply it with my finger or a little sponge, it works very well as an aftershave (better than the Skin Relief Treatment which leaves my skin so tight and irritated), and leaves no tackiness or any after feel. While I usually don’t like this type of cap dispenser (I prefer spraying pumps), this time it works pretty well as a dropper because of the toner texture : don't try to squeeze it onto your cottonpad or fingers (you will end with far too much product and waste it), instead try holding the bottle upside down and let the toner slowly come drop by drop (with the lightest pressure on the bottle), this will also allow you to control exactly the amount you need. I also love the "dried herbs" smell. I'm not a fan of so called "natural products" (and I was not particularly looking for) but when I saw the ingredients list I thought it would be something exceptional, and it is in every aspect. Absolutely perfect :-D (Posted on 01/07/2012)Product Rating

What do toners "tone"? I thought Paula didn't recommend toners!
Paula has always recommended toners that are well-formulated. Toners can be a great after-cleansing step to be sure you've removed all your makeup and to give skin essential skin repairing and healing ingredients in a light liquid base. When properly formulated, toners soothe skin and add hydrating ingredients to make skin softer, not to mention they're another leave-on source for antioxidants and other ingredients that help repair and restore skin.
How do I know which toner is right for me? Besides skin type, what are the main differences between Paula's Choice toners?
All of our toners restore skin, help remove last traces of makeup, are alcohol- and fragrance-free, and contain no plant-based or synthetic irritants. All our toners are great as an adjunct to any skin-care routine. Even more significantly they go beyond the basics by offering skin benefits you can see and feel.
Earth Sourced Purely Natural Refreshing Toner is for all skin types. It has a distinctive, liquid-gel formula bursting with antioxidants proven to repair skin and stimulate collagen production. The formula uses proprietary technology that truly captures the best of nature and modern science.
Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner is an excellent choice for normal to oily/combination skin. It provides a weightless finish, and although it feels very light, it supplies skin with potent antioxidants and anti-irritants. Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner is a great option for those who want more protection and a soothing, soft, feeling on their skin, particularly those with sensitive skin. To get the benefits of both toners for normal to oily/combination skin, you may want use Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner in the morning and Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Tonerin the evening.
Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner contains ingredients that help soothe and restore normal to dry skin, plus it includes a greater amount of glycerin, a key ingredient to make dry skin look and feel better. It also contains a broad range of ingredients that aid the barrier repair process so those with dry skin (or normal skin with occasional dry patches) will receive even more benefit from their Paula's Choice moisturizer and/or specialty product. Moisture Boost Hydrating feels lighter than our Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner, yet still provides an array of antioxidants, anti-irritants, and skin-protecting ingredients. To get the benefits of both toners for normal to dry skin, you can use Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner in the morning and Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner in the evening.
Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner for normal to very dry skin is an excellent choice for those who need more help protecting their skin from environmental damage or dryness. Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner has a richer texture than any of our other toners and contains more plant oils and other emollients than our Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner. This is a great option for dry to very dry skin, extremely sun damaged skin, or those dealing with eczema or rosacea accompanied by dry skin.
Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Tonerfor normal to oily/combination skin is excellent for protecting skin from environmental damage or dryness. In addition, its cell-communicating ingredients can, in theory, help balance skin so its oily areas do not worsen or lead to reddened or blemished skin. Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toneruses a more complex formulation than our Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner , and helps restore normal cell function.
RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner is a specialized formula designed to supply aging skin with a broad range of ingredients it needs to produce healthy collagen while reducing wrinkles. It is a super-charged version of our popular Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner, with a specific emphasis on improving the signs of aging skin.
