I just received this in a sample pack for filling out an online questionaire at the brands website (I highly recommend doing this, you receive decent sized samples!) and WOW, I have never used a toner quite like this... It claims to be an amazing acne healer due to it's sulfur content, which I'm not sure of after only one use, but after ONE use, I looked at my cotton pad, then at my pores, and back to the cotton pad and realized that this stuff cleaned ALL of the crap out of my pores!! I seriously have 90% unclogged pores now, which is saying something since I had the most crap filled pores in the universe. I took off one lippy due to it's high alcohol content, I can imagine this stuff would be waaay too irritating to use every day, even for the oiliest of skin... but for a quick cleaning when pores get gunked up, this stuff is freaking amazing. All of my samples were awesome, but I think this might be the only product that I feel the need to purchase.

It's good. Although I ain't sure if it helped clearing my acne, cause during those times i'm using this product I still have some acne's, so i'm not sure if it reduced the size of my acne's or not but I don't get acne's that much like i used to when I was using this. So it's all good. I only tried one bottle then switched back to Glycolic Acid Toner, cause my sister said my skin looks more better when I was using the Glycolic Acid Toner.

A fairly intense product for oily skin. I love this toner, and it works well on my moderately oily, acne-prone skin. Removes and controls oil well but doesn't over-dry my skin. It has a very pleasant scent despite its high alcohol content. A good value for the price.

HG toner. I've repurchased this twice. One bottle lasts me from 9 months to a year. I had received this as a sample from MB for filling out the skin survey. At first, I hated the scent of it and felt it was too over powering so I didn't touch it for a while. When I ran out of my current toner, I started using this and saw that it was working well on my skin. The scent didn't linger. I ended up liking the scent (probably because I got used to it).

The bottle itself consists of a yellow-colored toner with a powder substance in the bottom. Make sure you shake it up before using it. My oily, acne prone skin is very fond of this toner. It has helped me clear up my skin from acne. I still get break outs, but not as frequently.

I also enjoy using this on my eyebrows pre/post plucking. I feel that it makes it less painful for removal.

This toner feels like it's really working. It stung a bit at first use - but I only assumed that was because it was working. It tightens my face up after cleansing, and it just feels so much fresh and well.. better! It smells a little strong, but I don't actually think that's a big deal. The color is a little off putting, but again, that doesn't bother me. It seems to help my skin keep kind of matte during the day as well. It's a fantastic product, and I would recommend it.

I love this product. It feels like it takes away all the dead layers of skin. Helps my white heads and blackheads which I had all over my nose. I love it!!!

I really like this toner! After using it for a few days, my skin looked clearer, however it didn't seem to prevent new breakouts like I had hoped. It does seem to help my skin to stay matte throughout the day though. I don't really think it dries out my skin too much, but I always use moisturizer afterward so I'm not quite sure. All in all, I'd buy it again, but I'm still looking for my HG.

This toner is great for my super-oily skin, it keeps my skin from shining for a few hours (used with a few other products to hold the oilies away), and it tightens my face up in the morning. Only thing I hate about it is the strong alcohol in it, I always hold my breath when applying this with a cotton pad. I wish it was a spray too, I have applying toner with cotton :(
But it works well for me :)

Broke my skin out like crazy. I have big zits all over the place in places I have never had zits before after using this for one week. I was told by customer service that my skin was too dry to be using this stuff in the first place.

like all mario badescu products, it is awesome.

I love this product. I've been using the small sample size that I received from Mario Badescu twice a day, in conjunction with the Acne facial wash, and the two have worked miracles on my face! My skin is soft and smooth, I haven't had any new breakouts, and my old ones are drying up and vanishing from sight. And it's only been a week!! This product has done more for me than months of benzaclin, which only irritated and dried out my skin. Best of all, I ordered this product YESTERDAY, with standard shipping, and it arrived TODAY. Thank you, Mario Badescu!

Bio: Mildly dry skin, stubborn breakouts along hairline
Pros: Took of every trace of dirt
Didn't irritate my dry skin
Helped reduce pimples already on my face
Cheap for as much as you get
Cons: Eww the smell, strong strong strong
Made my skin a little dry afterwards, but not so bad that moisturizer couldn't help
Overall: Despite the scent I like it, and if used religiously I really think it could help clear up and prevent acne, I can see this being really good for oily gals.

doesnt make my skin seem clean or refined or even help with blemishes.
skin rather feels sticky and dirty after use. not good under make up either.... accentuates both dryness and makes skin oiler as well. nope,dont like it for me.

This product was much much to harsh. It really really irritated my skin. Made it all red and soon it was peeling. Won't repurchase.

I'm not very sure if I like this product. It is quite harsh and drying on my skin, even though it's oily. But my skin does feel tighter and cleaner. But I wouldn't really use this as an everyday twice a day toner...too harsh, but does its job!

this stuff is pretty good, except it kind of drys you out a bit, but followed with a good moisturizer your good to go! I had used this product and i rarely had breakouts and blackheads but ever since i ran out im in desperate need, so a quick online shopping submit and im good to go :)

Been using this with the seaweed cleansing soap for my oily skin. I like the way it leaves my skin still feeling refreshed and moisturized. I'd rather it weren't bright yellow and so alcoholic, but it doesn't seem to strip my skin like other alcohol-based toners. Go figure.

This product was much too harsh on my oily skin. It smells like alcohol and left my skin feeling stripped. I would not recommend this for anyone.

This is a nice toner for oily and acne prone skin. It smells nice and doesn't require a ton of product to remove the last traces of makeup. It contains anti-bac ingredients like Nonoxynol-9 and also Boric Acid, but it's not harsh at all on my oily skin (e.g., Kiehl's blue astringent burns me). It leaves my skin smooth, not tacky feeling. I will definitely buy this again.

This was okay--I really liked the bright yellow color but it smelled too much like just plain alcohol. But it made my skin feel really revitalized and *new*! I think this contributed to my puffy eyes the next day though.
