Paula's ChoiceSKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Face Toner with Niacinamide, for Oily Skin & Combination, Minimizes Large Pores, Controls Oil & Shine, Hydrates & Replenishes, Fragrance-Free

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.

I've been using this for a year. Im 55 and last year I noticed my pores were enlarged and my skin looked dull and gross even though I've been taking care of my skin since I was 10 years old. I discovered this on Amazon and now I never let it run out. Within weeks my skin looked healthy, bright and pores are back to normal. I don't use many products: I wash nightly with ivory soap and then I use this and a vitamin c serum. I love this product.

Check the product size prior to buying! Don't make the same mistake I did. For the amount of money these are, I assumed they were decent sized, not super small trial sizes. That being said, Im still giving it 5 stars bc its made my skin super soft.

When I used this on my face I started breaking out but I had some dark marks on my chest and started using it there instead and it helped reduced the dark marks. I’ve been monitoring it for weeks now and they are almost fully faded. It worked well on my body but not my face.

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'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.

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!
