Works Well With The Other Glycolics In This Line
Formula has just a little sting to it which tells me the glycolic formula is working. I find that I can get by with just concealer, blush and lipstick most days. This product helps with tired, dull skin and I plan to keep using this line of products. I like that they work without breaking the bank.

Actual Ingredients Not Listed
I thought this simple toner would be perfect for my skin however, there are more than a few ingredients not listed on Nordstrom.com that are in this toner. Propylene glycol is one of the main ingredients not listed, fragrance is not listed, hydrogenated castor oil (gross), and a number of other chemicals that I won't take the time to type out are also not listed. I understand if a couple of ingredients change but they deliberately omitted at least half of the ingredients in the ingredients list on nordstrom.com.

Absolutely terrible
I used to love this toner but as soon as I received my bottle I knew it was a different formula than the one I had previously used. It is a much brighter blue than it used to be and it has a new perfumed scent. I still had the packaging from my original bottle and when I compared the ingredients I was shocked. The original ingredients are: Deionized Water (Aqua), Glycolic Acid,IsopropylAlcohol,Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) Extract,
Polysorbate 20 but the ingredients on the new toner are: Aqua (Water,Eau), Propylene Glycol, Glycolic Acid, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, PPG-26-Buteth-26, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Chloride, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, CI 42090 (Blue 1), CI 45410 (Red 28), CI 19140 (Yellow 5). Not only does it now include fragrance, parabens, and artificial dyes but it also does not give me the same tingly feeling the original did. Mario Badescu did the same thing with their aloe moisturizer and the new formula of that is terrible as well. I used to love this brand but sadly I will have to return this and find something else better suited for my skin.

Pores no more!
Very good toner. At first I hated it cuz the formula stung everywhere I applied it. I then just used it exclusively for my nose. It's done a great job so far of reducing my blackheads. My one gripe is that it's pretty potent, potent enough to irritate my not-so-easily-irritated skin. I learned the hard way not to use it every night and to definitely not use it with the Glycolic face wash on the same night. Just be wary and don't overdo it with this product and you should be ok. So far great results! I just hope my blackheads don't become accustomed to it and make it ineffective. Fingers crossed.

Perfect balance
This has been my go-to toner for years ! I have combination skin and the glycolic acid in this toner gives my skin a good glow without making me oily.

so far so good
I purchased this for the price and the reviews. I really like the product, seems to be working well with my facial routine. I just wish it didn't have parabens
