I ordered some samples to try to see if any of Paula´s products would replace my usual cleansing products.Product Rating
I've used over 2 years german Dr Baumann Cosmetics classical line, Cleansing Milk and Facial Tonic Lotion for Dry Skin, which is bionome beauty care and keeps my skin healthy. I live in Finland and with 4 seasons and temperature changes from -30 to +30 celcius skin has different needs during the year. I think my skin is quite normal expect for the t-zones enlarged pores. This line has worked beautifully, it's a bit pricy and sold at dermatologist only.
I had high expectations about this toner but unfortunately I was disappointed. This toner gave me burning sensation. It lasted several seconds, I had few drops left of my usual toner, Dr Baumann, which calmed the skin down. The burning felt especially at the t-zone. I was very surprised. If you like Clinique lotion 2 etc. this might be good for you. Maybe my skin has become a bit sensitive as well. Customer Care : We are sorry to hear about your trouble with this product.

Moisture Boost Hydrating Toner
Review by Maria

Never believed that a toner can actually make something for your skin apart from removing the last traces of make up! So, I have never been a fan of it, as I religiously use a liquid soap and rarely a lotion for daily demakeup. But I was wrong! I purchased the SKIN CARE SET for normal/dry skin one day (as it was winter), just to try the products out as I am a fan of Paula's reviews and completely trust her judgement. I have normal/combination skin which becomes drier in winter and oilier in summer but is usually dehydrated. I am using this lotion mostly in winter so as to add moisture and thus avoid using a heavy moisturizer. I loved it! I will switch to SKIN BALANCING TONER during summer months. Could never believe that by the age of 39 and after having tried almost all products out there, I would end up using Paula's products, which are undoubtedly the best! I have recommended them to all my friends. Actually, cannot recommend them enough! Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful products. I can't wait to try your RESIST line. :-) (Posted on 03/01/2012)Product Rating -

This lovely toner, leaves the skin clean and feeling fresh. I am always amazed how much extra make up it removes even after cleansing carefully. It is also an excellent start to the make up process and I feel confident that moisturiser and make up are going onto a very clean base. (Posted on 18/08/2009)Product Rating
After cleansing, soak a large cotton ball or cotton pad with Moisture Boost Hydrating Toner and gently stroke over face. Do not rinse off. Follow with the appropriate Paula's Choice moisturizer, sunscreen, exfoliant, and/or specialty product such as a Super Antioxidant Concentrate.
Allow toner to absorb before applying a Paula's Choice exfoliant (AHA or BHA).

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. When properly formulated, they 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 improve skin's healthy functioning.
How do I know which toner is right for me? Besides skin type, what are the main differences between the four Paula's Choice toners?
All of our toners restore skin, help remove last traces of makeup, are alcohol- and fragrance-free, and contain no unnecessary irritants such as menthol, peppermint, and citrus oils. They are great as an adjunct to a more thorough cleansing routine, especially post-workout or in hot/humid climates. Even more significantly they go beyond the basics by offering skin benefits you can see and feel.
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 Toner in the evening.
Moisture Boost 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 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 Hydrating Toner in the morning and Skin Recovery Toner in the evening.
Skin Recovery 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 Toner has a richer texture than any of our other toners and contains more plant oils and other emollients than our Moisture Boost 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 Toner for 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 Toner uses a more complex formulation than our Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner, and helps restore normal cell function.
