Alpyn Pore Perfecting Liquid Toner with 2% BHA & Borage | Liquid Exfoliator to Minimize Pores, Calm & Restore Skin's Natural pH | 4 oz / 120 ml

I love this product

Could feel it tightening my skin. Made an impact on bags under eyes.

I have mixed feelings about this toner. I don't like the smell of it -- it has an herbal scent with an undertone that reeks of plastic. It feels slightly oily, and it takes a while to absorb into the skin fully. On the other hand, it does make my skin feel soft and smooth, and I appreciate the inclusion of Vitamin C, which is not often found in toners. Perhaps I was sent an older bottle, which would explain the unusual scent, but I would hesitate to order this again, especially given the high price. Time will tell if the other benefits outweigh the negatives.

I’ve tried a lot…this is the best.

I have used this for a few weeks and can't really say if it has made a difference. It hasn't made my face worse but I don't notice a difference.

I've only been using this Alpyn Pore Perfecting Toner for a couple weeks but already I've noticed a big difference in my skin from using it. I'm in my early 40s and unfortunately, I do still struggle with acne. I'm also new to using skin care products like this so it's been a bit of a journey trying to figure out what kind of products I need and what issues with my skin to focus on. A lot of the products I've tried so far, including toners, I haven't really noticed much of a difference from even after using them consistently for a few months. Once I started using this toner though, I noticed changes almost immediately in my skin. The very next day after using this toner I noticed my face felt smoother, more hydrated and my pores even looked smaller. One of my biggest complaints from aging has been the size of my pores. I've used many pore minimizing products but this is the first that's made a difference. I also noticed a difference even in my acne. I had started using this toner during my monthly when I always break out the most yet this time, I had no break outs. Honestly, I was shocked. I'm so excited to see how my skin continues to change with prolonged use of this toner. My only complaint with it is the price. While $39 might not seem that expensive, for someone like me living on a budget, it's just more than I'm willing to pay especially considering that this bottle isn't the biggest. If it were half the price it is, I would be more willing to buy it. I would definitely recommend this product if you're someone that's willing to spend the high price.

**Background:** A 50-plus-year-old Asian male with oily, acne-prone skin. I use a toner most nights after a facial cleanser and before a serum and possibly a cream.**First impression:** Very light liquid, typical viscosity of facial toners. It smells a little weird. Not the worst and not intolerable, but not pleasant either.**Application:** Under the cap is a plug dripper dispenser. I used this with disposable exfoliating cotton rounds, dripping some on the round and rubbing it into my face.**Results:** As part of Vine, I have tried a lot of toners; some do some interesting things like calming and extreme exfoliating, among other things. This is the best true toner I have ever used.What it does extremely well:Extra bit of deep cleaning after a good facial cleanser, including deep clogged pores (see gross photo; this was after shower and facial cleanser).A little mild exfoliation to clear the way for the application of face serum and/or cream.It does this without causing irritation that I typically get from using products that provide the benefits mentioned above.Tighten my pores for a smooth look.**Conclusions:** This is the best example of what a toner should and can do. I feel like it performs those core functions better than any toner I have ever used, all with less irritation than I typically get during the process. The only downside is the slightly weird smell, but that does not linger nor bother me.This is definitely my new daily driver with respect to toners.

I've been using this toner for a few weeks and was actually a little shocked by how quickly it seemed to be working. My skin felt smoother right away and looked more hydrated the next morning. My pores seem to be a bit smaller as time has gone on and it feels more moisturized than usual.I have combination skin and this hasn’t irritated it or made it feel tight. It has 2% salicylic acid to help with breakouts, but it also includes tremella mushroom, borage extract and vitamin C. Many of my products include vitamin C now so not sure how effective this particular one is but it certainly isn't hurting.I really love the bottle, it's a really heavy glass with a frosted purple appearance and it looks really cool on my counter. It is on the pricey side and I wonder if the price is worth it when swimming in a sea of skincare products of all kinds and prices. The bottle will last quite awhile so that is a plus.I would definitely recommend this.
