Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Specially formulated to provide clean, refreshing toning without the harsh, drying effects of alcohol. It will not strip your skin of its own natural moisturizers. Special mild purifiers gently remove impurities and recondition your skin, making it feel fresh, clean and soft.

Another product added to my Beauty Bento Box is the Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner.

I’m not pretty big on toners but I’ve always wondered on the benefits of using one. I had resorted to astringents when I was younger and was sorely disappointed since it left my skin dry even when I can see that it was effective in removing excess oil and dirt. I knew there has to be some other alternative to astringents. It just doesn’t sit well with my regimen.

Anyway, my first impressions on this product would start from the very clean-looking packaging. It immediately instilled a message in my head that it can be an effective partner in keeping my skin clean and clear. So, now, for the ‘road test’ — of course, I washed my face using the Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub before applying the toner.

A quick review on the facial scrub: I love the light lather and microbeads. Unlike other exfoliating facial washes, it actually feels like you’re ’scrubbing’ your face clean. And it proved the cliché true, it did leave my skin smooth and supple after I patted it dry. It does feel (literally!) clean.

Going back. I have to admit I was impressed with the toner. Before anything else, I’m glad that it’s suitable for all skin types cuz I feel that my skin varies like the weather. Go figure. Anyway, I kept looking at the cotton round I was using, checking for any sign of dirt. I then felt satisfied that it still effectively removed the dirt that’s still there even after you’ve washed while it moisturised and conditioned my skin. It felt like I was just using watery-like substance to clean and tone the surface of my skin. It didn’t sting or even had a funny scent. I love alcohol-free products. Though, I felt a bit icky after the task was done cuz my skin felt slightly sticky but after a few seconds, once the skin was dry, the surface is soft and smooth.

I even tried it on teh boyfriend yesterday and he was impressed, too. He even said, “that toner’s actually ok” and when he felt that his nose was oily once more, he said “oh no, it’s oily again!” I would only tease him, saying that he only wants to use the toner again. LOL.

I’m glad I made the purchase. Have any of you guys used this product? How was your experience?

Quick Tip: Moisten cotton ball with toner. Apply to face and neck with gentle upward strokes.
