I never thought I will ever give Boscia a negative review until I try to rekindle my love for Boscia with this product. First thing first... I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin ( which is starting to lean towards dry skin this winter). I first use this toner on and off during my first pregnancy. It felt very refreshing. I used this toner in conjunction with boscia's purifying face wash then and now. So one lippie for working alright back then. It wasn't anything special back then but it at least it didnt irritate me back then. Now being pregnant again I figure hey why not go back to Boscia. Wrong idea to use this toner. I am currently using the purifying cleanser as well. I have been using the balancing tonic for three weeks until yesterday. Through out the three weeks, my face will start to tingle on and off. Yesterday totally change my mind About this toner. When I sprayed the tonic on my face, my cheeks immediately started to burn. I wipe it off immediately, but that did not stop the stinging. Being traumatized, I return it back to the store this morning. I woke up with dry red cheeks that appeared to have small red bumps. My cheeks still feel irritated and it is currently a whoel 24 hrs later. I always notice that when I would spray the tonic on my face, my eye and lip area will get an irritated tingle, which is why most of the time I spray the tonic on a cotton pad and then swipe on my face. But lately as of three days ago, I decided to just spray it on my face. Never again. So no to repurchasing. One lippie for clearing up my acne.

This is great for normal skin (quite possibly the most gentle toner I've tried). I use it after the Boscia cleansing oil.

I love this "tonic". It's basically an alcohol-free toner for those who can't do traditional alcohol toners but also need something that's non-comedonegic. When you spray it over your (dry) face after washing your face or getting out of the shower, it starts to close your pores and otherwise prepares your skin and sebum levels for any serums and moisturizers that you're going to apply. I definitely notice a difference in my skin after using it for about 4 months. I don't know how I got on without it before! It feels like a breath of fresh air for your skin! It's not that expensive, and seems to be lasting forever because I still have 2/3 of a bottle left. One last thing, my favorite thing is to put this and my moisturizer in the fridge overnight, and then it feels sooo good to spray/rub them on cold in the morning!

Instead of repurchasing my fav Body Shop Vitamin E mist, I decided to give this one a try and I'm glad I did. Instead of a fine mist like the Vitamin E mist, I like how you get more product out with each spritz. It does not irritate my eyes and best of all, really nicely moisturize my face especially if I forget to apply moisturizer. I tried several different toners from Shisheido, Clinique, Suki but I'm impressed with this Boscia Balancing Tonic.

Toners always irritate my skin but this one is amazing. My skin was red & had a few bumps but as soon as I put this on OMG it was so soothing and took all the redness & bumps away. Love this stuff! I'm also using the new Black Hydration Gel which I love just as much. I wanted to write a review but I can't find the product in the listing.

unfortunetly I did not like this product. It tended to burn my skin and continued to leave my face feeling uncomfortable as the day went on.

Love this natural and ph balance tonic! I have really problem skin and breakout constantly. I have pimples, not like whitehead type of acne which get away easily. So I always used a lot of chemical products to treat it and thus, my skin irritated very much. This tonic really helped in calming my skin!

I have oily skin and this give me moisture without grease. And when used with a cotton ball...it really gets the leftover dirt and residue of other products. Another plus is I was told by the salesman at Sephora that this is what they use to seal makeup on clients during a in-store face over. So this will be replacing MAC fix plus.

All natural ingredients and nothing but plant and flower derivatives. No alcohol, very soothing, smells refreshing, and preps my skin nicely before applying moisturizer! Love it!

This feels really really good but I noticed it doesnt help with my dryness. I have very oily combo skin, and I use a spritz no matter when. I usually use it after a shower, after my makeup, anytime of the day. But I find this not moisturizing enough. I am going to try Murad hydrating toner next, it looks thick.

I like the way this feels and I've just started using toners again...Its refreshing. I prefer to spray it on a cotton pad (Shiseido ones are the best!) rather than directly on the face. Tastes bitter though...for some reason this one always gets on my lips...go figure! Good price though and I've been using it along with their cleansing oil though I'm sure it would work great with any skin care line. I like that it's natural.

I don't know that this is a miracle product, but it's pretty excellent. I find that it calms the skin very well, even if it doesn't clean like a normal toner might. That's not really the point of it though. It does make my skin tone more even if I use it daily, and lavender water is great for that.

I tried this for about a week and then returned it. I think the spray is nice, though it does take some practice to spray correctly. The tonic seems harmless enough. It smells and feels mild, and absorbs into the skin instantly. But this made my skin breakout a little with some tiny whiteheads. My skin is combination/sensitive/acne-prone. I'm beginning to think that my skin doesn't react well to high levels of lavender. Lavender water is at the top of the list of ingredients.

I purchased this product 2-3 times along with the Purifying Cleansing Gel. The smell is pretty decent. The fact that the toner is in a spray bottle is awesome! It didn't appear to irritate my sensitive skin. Actually made my face crave it every AM and PM. Towards the end, my face was becoming very dry. I don't blame the toner for my dry skin. Other factors were at play. My guess it was the cleanser. Nonetheless I have discontinued use of this product. But if you like and use toners this one is pretty decent.

If I was a person who used toner this is probably the toner I would use. I like the spray bottle. It doesn't dry or sting or irritate my skin.

I got this in a kit and I'm glad I did. Now I know what toner to try if I ever feel a need for toner.

I love the way this toner feels on my skin after cleaning my face. I've used it for over a month and it was not irritate and is very refreshing. I love the idea of a spray toner as it coats my face evenly. I will buy this again if I ever do run out but the packaging is so neat that it will probably last a while. The cotton ball method of applying toner was too messy for me. I probably wasted more product doing it that way. I love Boscia as it uses all natural ingredients and this toner is no exception!

I love this toner! It is so refreshing without any stinging or chemical smells. I use this everyday on my dehydrated/sensitive skin and it is wonderful... it's the only toner that doesn't make my face bright red :)

After trying Clinique's toner I was weary of using toners ever again. I tried Lush's toner as well but didn't feel it was necessary to continue the regime. I bought this in a kit and I love how it works! It doesn't sting, it's refreshing, no harsh chemicals or smell and most importantly, it calms the redness in my face and a few minutes after it dries, my skin is matte! Will buy again for sure.
