Toner that actually works!
I use the Aesop-B & Tea Balancing Toner to prep my skin (after washing my face) before applying the Aesop-Fabulous Face Oil and Aesop-Oil Free Facial Hydrating Serum. In my previous experience with toners, I didn't feel that it really added any value and was a waste of money, but I can feel the impact of the this toner. By prepping my skin with the B & Tea Balancing toner, my skin is able to better absorb the Face Oil and Serum that I apply afterwards. I apply the toner twice a day, everyday, and in the 5+ months that I've been using the toner, my skin feels more hydrated and rejuvenated. Coming from someone who thought toners didn't do much, this toner does a lot and is definitely worth adding to your daily skin regiment!!

Not my favorite
I don't particular like it, because of the way it smells, like a medicine cabinet. I get the feeling like the company is trying too hard to capture an earthy scent in a bottle, and it just doesn't work for me, but will have to finish using it.

Favorite toner
I am in love with this toner! It cleans my skin so well. I have combination skin and in the oily areas it cleans well while on my drier cheeks it refreshes. Every time I use it I see the dirt on my cotton pad and so I know it's removing dirt, left over makeup, etc. I also have a little bit of acne and it's doing great for that! I love it and highly recommend! And my skin is so smooth afterwards.

Best Toner Ever!
Initially, I was reluctant to try this product because my skin is so sensitive. I’ve used a lot of toners in my day! It leave my face feeling vibrant a refreshing. This is my new best friend!

Refreshing
This is a refreshing toner. The herbal scent is subtle and calming, and the toner leaves my skin feeling clean and balanced without any tightness. I have combination skin, and this toner helps to control oiliness in my T-zone while keeping the rest of my face hydrated. It's gentle enough for daily use and hasn't caused any irritation. While it's a bit on the pricier side, a little goes a long way, and I appreciate the quality of the ingredients. Overall, it's a lovely product that I would consider purchasing the full size of.

Not Sure...
Not sure how I feel about this product, I had been given lots of samples of it and loved the way it made my skin feel but since purchasing the bottle I have been dealing with more breakouts after use (I have combination, sensitive skin). Not sure if something else environmental is bothering my skin as I haven't changed any other products in my routine. Expensive for what it is, but does look beautiful on the bathroom shelf so I guess it gets points for that. Probably wouldn't buy again, makes me hesitant to purchase any other Aesop skincare products even if I did love the samples. Might just stick to the hand creams and soaps.
