I got this by mistake in an Ebay shipping mixup but the seller allowed me to keep it for free. I was thrilled because I had always been curious to try it since I love the cleansers and moisturizers from Stella Mc Cartney's skincare line. I usually spray pure rosewater to tone my skin but after using this, I could tell an immediate difference in my skin! My skin felt cleaner, more toned and looked clearer and more radiant. It seems to be helping to control my breakouts as well as hydrating my skin at the same time. It has a refreshing herbal-floral scent as well. I will definitely repurchase.

Love it!
I don't notice much difference, but I love the feel and smell of it, and it makes the whole cleansing ritual that much more enjoyable (even a little luxurious), which means that I am now cleansing my skin almost every night and morning. I first tried the Care line at a great (and far too expensive) salon, and have kept using the products in much the same way. I spray this over my face and neck, tap it in gently with my fingertips and massage the neck and shoulders very briefly for that relaxing effect. Mmm. Great product!

I really like this, it is a nice refreshing mist over the face and your can really feel it firming without tightness.

It's a good toner, as it doesn't over-dry, and works well with the 5 benefits moisturizing fluid. When i first started using it, i noticed my eye area getting really dry (i'm oily and sensitive) so now i just cover my eyes with one hand and spray on the other areas (1 push of a sprtiz per area instead of constant spraying) and then pat it into my skin and it works beautifully. If the dryness is all over the face, you're probably using too much - it's not hairspray!! If it's only in the eye area, then cover your eyes like i do - pretty much no products except for eye creams are supposed to go in your eyes anyway, even facewash. it's worth trying. if you're in the US, go to sephora because you can return if you don't like. In Canada, holts usually won't take it back.

I was lured into the CARE by Stella McCartney line by the fact that it has organic ingredients, recyclable packaging and the rest of the story. And I like to use a toner when my skin wants it, a few times a week. However, to recycle... you have to return the packaging to the company, you can't just toss it in with the household items. I personally don't like the spray form straight onto my face, so I spray it onto a clean washcloth, and that works well for me. The product has a really pleasant scent, and I agree the toner is quite refreshing and acceptable. I won't repurchase, though, because of the packaging, and I did not love the product more than my L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Cleansing Water, for Face, Eyes, Lips ($20 for 8.4 oz) which also is packaged in a spray form, for those of you who enjoy that refreshing feeling.

While I like the way this mists on to the face in a refreshing manner, I agree with what someone else mentioned -- the alcohol is too much. It makes my lips tingle if it hits them and I have to dab to get it off - blechh. I wanted to love all these products. It is rare that high end lines dabble in organics. However, these products are irritating to me. I tried the discovery set and bought the foaming cleanser and toner. I was disappointed with how irritated my skin got (little bumps -and redness.) Perhaps the alcohol in everything did it? Either way, I plan to go back to my old standards of Aveda, Dr. Hauschka & Jurlique. Its a shame, because idealistically speaking, I love what Stella was trying to do. Perhaps as time goes on she will refine the line?

another overpriced product from CARE. Yes, there are some natural and/or organic things here...but combined with synthetics.

Love the scent, like with all of Stella's CARE prodcuts but save your $ & just go to a specialty store (usually Italian or Middle Eastern) & get food-grade rose-water (for dry and/or sensitive skin) or food-grade orange-blossom water (for oilier skins)...it worked just as well/better for me & was like 1/10th the price! And 100% natural, with no alcohol, as it's a food item!

Amazing-this toner works great, i feel like it also serves as somewhat of a primer, completely smoothing out my skin, i never write product reviews but i've never used anything like this. The fact that it is completely organic and gentle is so important to me as well. It's pricey but worth it and smells amazing, I will defifitely buy this item again. Like the other reviewer mentioned it leaves your skin tight, but not dry feeling. You won't regret it, trust me.

Love this! Yes, alcohol is the a main ingredient but it has not had any drying effect on my combo skin. The scent is fabulous, packaging is excellent, price is high for a toner. I wish I could get a huge bottle as I use this up rather quickly. It makes my skin feel tighter without drying and is a good "pick-me-up" throughout the day.

This is a terrible product in great packaging. Alcohol is the 2nd ingredient on the list !!!! Most cosmetics companies have caught onto the fact that alcohol is sensitising and dehydrating on the skin but Stella McCartney's new Care line is mostly an oil and alcohol mix in all its products. Fewer and fewer toners have alcohol in them anymore (the exception being Clinique Clarifying Lotions) so why this product has so much is beyond me. The concept is great - an airtight spray to mist toner on your face. I wish more toners came in this format so that the antioxidants and active ingredients would stay fresh and you don't waste any toner by applying with cotton wool. However I don't want to spray alcohol on my face. Shame on the scientists that formulated this product!

I have normal/dehydrated/sensitive skin.

I use this mostly after the Cleansing Milk to freshen up and take away any residue that might be left. Calms and soothes the skin. Feels very fresh.
Doesnt irritate my sensitive skin.
Its in a spray bottle, very hygienic, like the rest of this line. You never use your fingers to dip in.
EDIT: No longer use.
