My HG toner. Alcohol-free and contains Hyaluronic Acid!! The lavender, chamomile, licorice and aloe vera are so good for my normal-dry, sometimes sensitive, slight rosacea-prone face (I have the "natural blush look"). Also contains antioxidants such as white &green teas and Vitamin C. Soothing, light lavender scent. Love the (recyclable) plastic bottle and the little hole for controlled pouring.

Ingredients:
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender), Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile), Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract, Arnica Montana (Montana Flower) Extract, Vegetable Glycerin, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Citric Acid, Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), Sodium PCA, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin (Comfrey Root), Echinacea Pupurea (Coneflower), Ginkgo Biloba, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea), Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extracts, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Salicylic Acid, Ethylhexl Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Other Essential Oils

I've been using this toner almost everyday for a couple of weeks. When I first started using it, it seem it made my face kinda red or irritated, or it could be my skin is acting up or from something else. I have acne prone skin that is sensitive, my face - especially around my mouth - can react so easily to products that works great for other people. When I first started using it, I was afraid it was too strong so I only use once a day or skip a day. But I've been using it more now, every morning and night for the past week or more. My skin feels clean and there's no reaction or redness anymore and I think it helps to calm and heal some breakouts.

One word Amazing! Bought this product on a whim, but after using for 4 day my face was noticeablely smoother, and soft to touch.Will definately purchase again. A bit pricey for a toner , but you can get it on iherb.com with this coupon KAP753 to get $5 dollars off your first purchase there by getting it really cheap.

I bought this online at Vitacost.com and got it for half the price of Whole Foods...just an FYI. I love the toner. I have mild rosacea and my pores were awful. I can use this and it doesn't sting or irritate my skin. My pores look better too. Nice toner and it smells heavenly.

I think this is a great toner for those of you who use a toner. The only drawback is that it leaves the face feeling a bit sticky.


While toners in general give my face a squeaky clean feeling, they also contribute to excessive oil production on my face (whether they contain alcohol or not). But without a toner, my face doesn't feel clean! So I've found an alternative solution to this. I now wash my face with microfibre cloths, which remove the last trace of cleanser from my face and exfoliates my face at the same time.


No more toners for me, though I would still recommend this to all the toner users out there.

I'm pretty sure this made my nose pores smaller. I was scared to use this because of the salicylic acid (and my sensitive/dry skin) but it isn't a problem for me thus far. I also use the lavender daily moisturizer and love that too. Love the natural ingredients and the fact that there isn't an added artificial fragrance.

I bought this based on the reviews here and I am so glad that I did. Thank you MUAers!! I had been using Paula's Choice 2% liquid but it just wasn't doing the trick. Also, from what I remember, I think it had some not-so-great ingredients too. SO, based on the reviews here, I ventured out to the nearest Whole Foods and got myself this toner. I love the lavender scent and find that it smells very clean, not antiseptic. It is also a great performer. It has done a great job at keeping my skin congestion at bay, where PC failed me. I will definitely repurchase.

After this, the face is soft and absorb moisturizer quickly. Have a smell of fresh Lavender so some people may don't like it. But fine for me.

usually i don't care for toners so i don't know why i bought this except that i was bored with my usual skin care and wanted something new so i bought the entire lavender line (i love their lavender shampoo). well, i don't like or dislike this. it does smell great - but somehow i can't see myself using it again. i tried it once and it really did clean - but like i said i just don't care for toners... that said i'll probably give it to my mother because she loves toners and loves lavender...

I normally avoid toners but bought this one for its salicylic acid content rather than its toning properties. It has lots of good ingredients: glycerine for moisture, lavender to soothe and disinfect, and some anti-oxidants. It's made a real difference to my pores and blackheads, which is what I bought it for, much more than PC 2%BHA. It's also cheaper and more easily available (in the UK). My only problem with this is that it stings a little on application, but then I'm using retinoids and have sensitive skin, so I wouldn't expect many people to have that problem. Obviously avoid this if you have problems with essential oils but otherwise I recommend this to anyone having problems with clogged pores.

I absolutely adore this stuff! When I purchased this, I was suffering from a BAD breakout all over my face. I stopped using my Camocare toner (which didn't really do anything) and started using this, day and night. Within a few days, I had significantly fewer blemishes and they were starting to heal. I've been using it for over a month now and my blemishes have subsided some. Also, my blackheads on my nose (which I've had for over 10 years) are almost gone! I can truly see a difference if I don't use this. It's also moisturizing enough that I just need a dab of their Vitamin C Serum over this in the morning and I'm good to go!

I am a huge fan of Avalon Organics and their Lavender line in general. This is yet another product from them with HG status!

Very mild and moisturing. But be careful not to drop it on the floor. The plastic ontainer shatters so easily.

This one will get rid of the sticky feeling I get from using it's lavender cleanser. It's an OK product, didnt really do anything I particularly dislike nor did it do any wonders. it's just a I can live without product if you know what i mean.. won't repurchase.

I really wanted to love this stuff since it feels so fresh and smells good, but I think it had a part in my skin breaking out. "Pure essential oils" are listed in the ingedients, so thats probably why. I will use the rest of this on my neck and stay clear of the face.

EDIT: my neck is breaking out-run from this stuff

I think I've found my HG of toners! I've been using this twice a day for about a week, maybe more, and it has really done a lot to keep my oily/combo skin in check. My skin produces much less oil during the day, something I haven't found in any other toner I've used. And I love the fact that it has acne-fighting salicylic acid without any harsh alcohol. The scent is wonderful, but I just love lavender. I've been using this along with the matching facial wash and scrub (got all 3 on ebay for $10!) and my skin has never looked or felt better. I hope they never discontinue this product, because I think I'll be using it for life!

I love this toner. I have very sensitive skin and I feel that this toner soothes it. I find I have fewer breakouts. My skin is on the dryer side.
