This has been the best toner I've used so far. Especially compared to the Dermalogica's muched hyped about Multi Active Toner, I can now see this is a winner. Pleasant to use spray bottle, refreshing, lightly moisturizing feel, good ingredients, doesn't sit on top of skin.

I loved this product for the first two weeks of use. It calmed my facial redness well and moisturized a wee bit but not too much, which was nice. Unfortunately, after two weeks, whenever I used it, it would just sit on top of my skin with no sinking-in whatsoever and after it dried it would BURN! I have had to run to the bathroom to rewash my face a couple of times now. It does last a very long time if you are looking to buy it and the bottle sprays very finely which is rare in a spray bottle but I would absolutely never buy this again!

I wouldn't rave about this product - it's pretty much a plain old toner. I don't like the spray nozzle because virtually every time I use it, some toner will end up in the air rather than on my skin. Overall I am pleased with this. It doesn't irritate my sensitive acne prone skin at all and perhaps soothes it a little which is pretty much what I want in a toner.

This is a nice toner that won't dry out your skin. (And is unlikely to irritate it) I use it after cleansing or as a fast little touch-up midday when I'm in a hurry. I have mixed feelings on the packaging. On one hand, the spray bottle makes it a bit more hygienic and less wasteful, but it can get clogged.

I'm in love. I just bought this on a trip to Sephora, where I ONLY meant to buy this, lol and walked out with $245 worth of stuff. Anyhow, let me tell you something, I live on the east coast, and there's like 89% humidity, and it is MISERABLE outside. I have really long, thick hair and if I wear it up, I get a headache. Needless to say it's easy to get hot and sweaty. So I bought this, and used it after my DDF Brightening Cleanser and 10% Glycolic Toner. It makes your skin feel so smooth and silky, not sticky or greasy. I chose to spray it on a cotton pad because I feel like product gets wasted with the spray cap. However, I love the spray cap for the simple fact that I don't have to turn a bottle upside down to get product out. I'm known for spilling it lol. Anyhow, give this a try.It really truly refreshes the skin! Oh, PS...did I mention the bottle is massive and will last forever!? Worth every penny.

I really enjoy using this toner. Besides being refreshing, it is also quite moisturizing and contains plenty of antioxidants. I also like that it comes in a spray bottle and that means I don't have to use a cotton ball to waste product. Highly recommended.

Six weeks ago, I started a new skincare routine which includes: DDF Sensitive Skin Cleansing Gel, DDF Aloe Toning Complex (soothing toner), N.V. Perricone Solar Protection (moisturizer/sunscreen) and Juvena Vital Eye. The saleslady at C.O. Bigelow recommended these skincare products and said that it would work wonderfully on my sensitive, acne-prone skin which also suffers from rosocea. I stuck with my new skincare routine and I must say this is the first time in 15 years that my skin looks great (I am 27 years old).

I love this stuff! I have a very hard time finding cleansers, toners, and moisturizers (about to try some DDF ones) and this along with the sensitive skin cleansing gel are perfect for me. This toner is gentle and I feel like it actually calms and heals my skin, even moisturizes a little. And if I don't do a great job washing my face, it takes off any left over make up. I have sensitive skin that tries to act up any way it can and this never stings, hurts, or does anything negative to me! I rebuy ths, along w/ the cleanser all the time.

This is a very good, gentle toner for sensitive skin. It doesnt irritate my very sensitive skin at all, and it actually feels really nice and refreshing to use. On the other hand, it hasnt really done anything all that great for my skin either. Its just nice and calming, and its a good prep treatment for other products.

I don't know what to think about this product. I bought it, used it for a bit, and then I guess just got bored and stopped. I noticed no difference when using it and not using it.... A couple months later, I started using it again. And my normally very oily skin was getting drier and drier. I started experimenting to find out what was making my skin so dry, and after I stopped using this, literally the next day my skin was much better. So I don't know, just a coincidence? The reviews here have been great about the product and its non-drying qualities. I'll start using it again I'm sure sometime in the future and will update then. Finally, for the price, you definitely get a lot of product. I used this for a while and have almost the entire bottle left!

My skin type is combo/sensitive/prone to breakout. I came across DDF while searching for something to help w/ the recent breakouts I've been battling. I've only used this for 2 days so far. It's very soothing for my sensitive skin. I suppose I cannot really rave about its effect on breakouts yet, but I will update in two months or so..

This toner is great, does not dry out your skin. It works really well when using the toning cloths by Renee Rouleau. The packaging is strange but you get a lot of product for the money. I definately like this for my dry skin and will buy again.

This is a wonderful, non-drying but non-oily, alcohol-free toner. I love the packaging - the toner is dispensed through a spray so there is no worry of contamination. A great product in a hygienic dispenser. Although it is pricey, it is worth it. A little goes a long way - I have had this product for over a year and still have a lot left.

I have gone through several bottles of this nourishing/calming toner...great spritz top for travel or whenever you need to refresh. Great for dry skin or after sun and environmental exposure. Worth the price as a bottle will last for months-definate repurchase!

MY SKIN: Extremely sensitive, acne prone, combo skin.

PACKAGING: Tall rectangular spray bottle, green liquid inside

THE GOOD: Honestly, when I first got this, being my first toner, I didn't think it did anything for my skin. I tought I had wasted money. But now, during the winter, I can definitely see a difference. Everytime I wash my face or take a shower, my face is very tight and dry looking. I spritz a my face 3 times covering my cheeks, chin and forehead, and after it soaks in, I apply my moisturizer and it absorbs like a dream. It's become a part of my regular skincare routine and my skin feels and looks much better now.

THE BAD: It's pricy - $28 for 8.45 oz. - but I'm going to keep on buying until I find something cheaper but just as good.

This is a good basic toner. not overdrying, moisturizeing, not too heavy, perfect for applying under a moisturizer and/or makeup. I cant say it had phenominal soothing qualities, but it is a very high quality alcohol free toner, that will give you the extra moisturizing properties you may be looking for. I am not thrilled with the spray pump applicator bottle, I am more of a cotton ball girl myself. I am returning the product however, just because I didnt LOVE it. It was good, not great. wanst that refreshing- though felt nice, just didnt have a WOW factor for me. I think I am going to go back to glycolic toner instead, was far more of what I was looing for. You do get a lot for your money though, and overall I do believe its a high quality prodcut.

A great toner that leaves me feeling refreshed and ready for a light moisturizer. While the price seems a little steep for this toner, the bottle is absolutely huge and will take me forever to use up. This removes the very last traces of my make-up and pakcs antioxidants onto my face before I put on my moisturizer and head to bed. Great stuff!

Nice, but not perfect. I do love how soothing this toner is, but I find it just a tad sticky (probably from the hydrogenated castor oil, an ingredient I don't like in anything but bath oil). I hate sticky. After a while, layered under multiple products, the sticky issue goes away, but if I were wearing this alone, it would bother me. I do love the spray top, and the fact that it's under two pop-tops(?haven't ever seen that before). The spray mist is fine enough to make me happy, but the product as a whole leaves me wanting.
