    Paula, I have used your products for years. I especially love the Skin Balancing Toner for combination skin and the matching cleanser. They are a fantastic duo that make my skin feel wonderful!
    —Carol

    One of my must haves
    Paula, your Skin Balancing Toner is the best! It should be in everyone's skin care regimine. I have stayed away from toners as I got older because they have always been so drying. Not yours. It really does balance my skin. It feels wonderful and my skin looks great. Thanks for such a fantastic product!
    —Lisa

    Soft and cleansing
    I love how soft and smooth my skin feels after I use this toner, and the light scent is simply refreshing. Does wonders to wipe away the last bit of makeup, making my skin feel clean. This will continue to be a staple in my evening skin care routine.
    —Kristin

    Skin Balancing toner
    I began using the skin balancing toner about a month ago and my skin feels the cleanest and softest it has ever been. After cleansing, I use it in conjunction with the 1% beta hydroxy acid gel and my skin is the best it has ever been! I hardly ever have a blemish now! Thank you!
    —Jillisa

    FAKE REVIEWS
    Look at other reviews and how similar they look. Everybody just "loves, loves" this product. I tried it - nothing special. And in general, most of Paula's products that I tried don't deliver what they promise.
    —olena

    Skin Balancing Toner
    I tried this toner after my skin broke out and it cleared it up. It's all I use on my skin now after washing. My skin is dry on top and oily underneath. It makes my skin softer and keeps the breakouts and blackheads away! Please don't ever discontinue this product!
    —Kim W

    Not too shabby
    The toner made my face too oily! Am I using it wrong?
    —Ted

    Good toner
    I'm not really sure what a toner is supposed to do... but this is a cool product. For some reason it has an exothermic reaction to my face, the first time I used it, it started to get hot as it dried! Anyway, it does a good job getting rid of the last traces of makeup, and when it 'dries' it leaves skin feeling nice and hydrated. Combined with the 8% AHA exfoliant and the Super Antioxidant Concentrate, my skin feels really good and supple.
    —Haichen

    IMPROVES HEALTH OF SKIN
    i was using paula's 1% bha for breakouts. adding this product helped stop blemishes completely, controlled redness, and improved skin texture. amazing stuff!
    —kathleen

    Adverse Reaction
    I have oily t zone and normal skin elsewhere. 1st use made my skin tingle. Parts of my face starts getting red with each use. By the 3rd to 4th day i broke out in various parts of my face.
    —Lind

    Doesn't sting!
    This toner does not sting or dry my skin out. I love how soft and smooth my face feels after I use it.
    —Patricia

    Amazing!
    I just wanted to let you know that I love, love, love your skin care products. The Skin Balancing Toner is amazing and I noticed a major improvement in my skin almost immediately after I started using it. Thank you so much for your products and my much improved skin.
    —Christine R.

    Skin Balancing Toner!
    I don't know what I would do without the Skin Balancing Toner for normal to oily combination skin. I could bathe in this stuff. I went away for a week and forgot this, and my skin just didn't feel right without it.
    —Sue M.

    Life Saver
    I resisted using a toner for so long, but after using the Skin Balancing Toner, I don't know how I ever got along without it. There was a noticeable difference in my skin from the first use, and it is only getting better. You are a life saver!
    —Tracy F.

    Exceeds expectations
    I've been a customer from the beginning and you all have always done a great job anticipating exactly the products I want. The new Skin Balancing Toner is fantastic. I had been hoping Paula would create something like this and it not only met but exceeded my expectations. Thanks for everything!
    —John H.

    Wonderful
    I just had to let you know how much I love, love your new Skin Balancing Toner. This is the first toner I've EVER been able to use, most broke me out or felt uncomfortable on my skin. Your new toner has cleared my face and it feels wonderful on. Thank you for this new product, I just think it's great.
    —Kimberly K.

    Simple solution
    I love the new Skin Balancing Toner. During the end of this long, hot summer, it has replaced moisturizers in my routine: refreshing, smooth and light. A simple solution for when I want to do the least possible but still care for my skin.
    —Lynn

    Thank you!
    Thank you Paula. For the first time in my life I have soft feeling, blemish free skin. I use the Skin Balancing Cleanser, Skin Balancing Toner, 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel, and the Skin Balancing Moisture Gel. This is the first time in my life that I have ever used a moisturizer on a daily basis and without fearing breakouts. Thanks for the beautiful new skin and the confidence boost.
    —Susan S.

    The Best
    I am a long-time customer and have been using your products since you introduced them. I love most of them, but wanted to comment specifically on your Skin Balancing Toner: it is the best! It's improved the appearance and condition of my skin. My pores look smaller and my skin smoother, and my breakouts are less frequent. I hope you never discontinue it!
    —Olga C.

    Great Product
    I have a combination skin, dry on my cheeks and oily on the T zone. for a long time I used a toner from a major beauty store (seph...)with no results. It was just water with some floral fragrance. Now I use Paula's toner and I can see the difference. My skin feels soft, with an even tone and no more shine.
    —Esteban

    Causes skin to break out
    I have tried all of your toners and they all make my skin break out, I want to like them so much b/c I think my skin would look and feel better if I could just find a toner to help in the exfoliation process. I am desparate to find a toner that is Achohol Free, Witch Hazel Free and Fragrance Free and was so hopeful here. I'm disappointed that all these toners break me out. I'm past the 60 days and have tried using these toners on other parts of my body just to use them up, they break me out a little on my legs and arms, so have settled for trying to use them up on my feet. It seems other people are having the same break out problem, what could it be???? I use Paula's other exfoliation products, AHA and BHA and also have some break outs with them too. It is these under the skin, irritated, raised bumps that I end up messing with. Could it be glycerin that is causing the break-outs. I have addressed this toner issue before and got no-where with the staff and got no response when I emailed Paula. Customer Care Response: Unfortunately, because each person is different and will respond to products and ingredients differently, we cannot be sure why you are having the reactions you have reported below. Based on the information you have provided though, we would recommend that you consider consulting with a dermatologist or allergist because you may in fact have a glycerin allergy (though this is rare) or some other condition resulting in sensitive skin.

    This IS NOT a FAKE REVIEW!!
    I'm a REAL 44 yr female, I discovered Paula by chance 6 mos ago, her products have changed my skin drastically. My skin looks better now than it did in my twenties! Her products achieve what they say, end of story. Thank you Paula, my skin thanks you and so does my checkbook. I just can't believe all the money I've spent through the years on products that NEVER delivered a result. Your book has changed my whole outlook on skin and make-up. It all made sense. I'm forever grateful to have found you, thank you and God Bless!!:) Lisa

    Every man should own this product,
    I used to get razor bumps--the bane of many of men. They came unpredictably, and even worse, they seemed to be resistant to everything, including Paula's Choice Razor Relief (which is probably a good product for some people, but it didn't work even slightly for me). Anyway, on a lark, I started using this product as an aftershave, and for the past two years, it's a very, very rare thing to get razor burn. My skin seems to have improved dramatically from this product (incidentally, I also love PC shaving gel). I have been a devoted customer to this line for many years, and every now and then I try products in other lines that are recommended by Paula. I am frequently disappointed (though not always). Most of Paula's Choice products are unparalleled, and this is most definitely one of them.

    nothing is fake
    i just want to clear that people are not faking.paulas products work.they r the best.as you said you tried this product it did not work but it does not means that her all products r fake.try to use sample first always
    —harpreet kaur

    Thanks :D
    I really thaks for paulaschoice's cosmetic. After I used 1 week these, my skin is not oily and my pimples are gone! It is amazing! I'm an international student, so my english is nit good. Thus, I don't want to write anything on internet, but paulaschoice's cosmetic are really fantastic! I really recomend these things! I bought 5steps, blemish fighting solution, one more toner(healthy skin refreshing) and exfoliating treatment. All of them are my favorite item! If I go back to Korea, I will use paulaschoice's cosmetic! Thanks! I love these items. :D
    —Haenuri Yoon

    good stuff
    I have tried a lot of Paula's products over the years with mixed results- some great, some so-so. I have some mild eczema patches on my face and my skin has responded really well to this toner.
    —Amanda

    Big Change!
    After I had my daughter my hormones and allergies whacked out my skin. I have very sensitive combo skin. Immediately after I started using this my skin finally settled down. I added the skin balancing cleanser and my skin is perfect again. Thanks! You rock!
    —Carolann

    Not my fave : /
    I love PC products and have had great results for the past 6 years! So, I feel almost disloyal saying this, but I didn't like this and won't repurchase it. It felt a bit slick on my face and I had more problems breaking out with it compared to my old (discontinued PC toner). So, I have switched to Paula's Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner and much prefer it's texture, plus my skin is clear again. IMHO use that instead!
    —Katina

    Great.
    Does not burn or sting like most other toners and feels refreshing!
    —Crystal

    Good Product
    After applying this product, my skin feels smooth and glowing, but it seems to be temporary. I'm not sure what toner does and whether it is really necessary like exfoliator or night cream. I guess this is something nice you do to your skin.
    —Chau

    another 2 cents worth
    This toner has done right by me over the years, and I prefer it slightly to the healthy skin refreshing toner ever so slightly because it's as moisturizing (I already have oily skin to the max!). It isn't irritating, and my anti-acne regimen just isn't as effective when I accidentally run out of it.
    —Kendall M.

    Probably one of the best toners in the world...
    This toner has helped heal my skin and add a wonderful mix of anti-oxidants! Using a cotton round/pad instead of a cotton ball makes a difference! Will continue to purchase
    —Angela

    nice stuff but doesn't work for me
    I think this toner is great concept - BUT, it stings my skin..too bad, because without the stinging effect, I think I would've fell madly in love with this stuff...

    Nice Toner
    A good toner is hard to find. I first tried Paula's other toner for oily skin, but my sensitive skin couldn't handle it. But I decided to give the Skin Balancing Toner a try, and I really like it. Thanks!
    —Erin
