This works great with my combination/oily skin, leaves your skin feeling refreshed and you can really feel your pores tightening after using it. Yes it does have a strong smell, but after trying other toners, I always come back to this one because it actually works.

The product is fairly light and refreshing on all skin types. Unfortunately, I didn't experience any 'purifying' action on my skin over a two week period.

This is one of the better treatments I've used. You're supposed to use it like a toner, and swipe it over your skin. I use it at night after washing, but a word of warning; this temporarily makes your skin become MORE inflamed than before and it highlights any imperfections due to all the astringent ingredients, so I wouldn't use it in the morning before I'm about to face the world. But your skin calms back down after 10 mins or so. It smells quite powerful, especially of menthol, but it's a fresh, good smell. It definately acts as an antibacterial and stops any infections from starting. It also calms any big zits and stops them getting worse. Im worried this is too harsh to use every day so I use it every 2/3 days instead, but it works really well and I will repurchase. Only drawback is it came in a bottle with a loose top (the lid is fliptop but the cap itself is screwed onto the bottle) and it leaks so i can't travel with it. Hopefully this was just a bad bottle and they're not all like that.

I don't know why nobody ever review on this holy water. It's absolutely the best for blemish prone skin, combination, oily, normal skin. My husband and I swear by this toner (but we categorized this product treatment instead). We found it (1)cure any symptom of neewborn acne/blemish (2)refresh tired skin (3)exfoliates (3)the very herbalish smell is so envigorating. (4)it absolutely tone the skin. After using this for over 3 years,basically not everyday-but maybe 3 days a month (that is when there is any blemish symptoms about to emerge)we still can't get enough of it. always in our travel bag whenever we goes to tropical places. I hate the price but! I refuse to pay that amount every month,which I probably would if only the two of us were using it every day. The way we treat the bottle, we found ourselves in Ella Bache's every 3-4 months. Worth the price though.
