This is such a unique toner and in fact a unique line of products. I have not used anything quite like this before. The toner is not what you might expect. If you're looking for hydration this isn't the right one BUT if you want gentle exfoliation,gradual smoothing if the skin and to prep your skin to receive your serums etc better then this is EXACTLY what you want! In addition, if you have OILY, or combination skin - this is perfect for you! Very dry skin will probably not do well with this. It is very mattifying so extra application of niacinamide, licorice root,and a good vitamin C serum is recommended if you want to keep a natural glow to your skin. Personally, I have normal skin that gets dehydrated sometimes but I didn't feel dried out from this BUT that's because I layer my skin with many other hydrating products in my routine and I wouldn't use this twice daily. I think only in pm with a very good moisturizer for normal/dehydrated skin. Very oil/acne prone skin - twice daily but still use hydrating toner, essence,serum, and moisturizer. I feel if you're acne prone or have many blackheads this is perfect to clear up your skin in addition to the other Pore Zero products. Also the 30 second exfoliator.
