The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice Pore-Reducing Toner for a while, and it has made a noticeable difference in my skin. It’s designed for oily and combination skin, and it really helps control shine and minimize the appearance of pores.Pros:✔ Lightweight & Hydrating – Unlike some toners that dry out the skin, this one keeps it balanced and refreshed.✔ Controls Oil Without Stripping – My skin feels clean but not tight, which is perfect for oily areas.✔ Niacinamide for Pore Refinement – Helps with skin texture, reduces redness, and minimizes the look of pores over time.✔ Soothes & Calms Skin – Contains antioxidants and hydrating ingredients that help reduce irritation.Cons:✖ Might Not Be Hydrating Enough for Dry Skin – If your skin leans more towards dry, this might not give you enough moisture.✖ Results Take Time – Pore reduction isn’t instant, but with consistent use, you’ll see improvements.Final Thoughts:If you have oily or combination skin and want a light, non-irritating toner that helps with shine and pores, this is a great choice! It works well in a routine with other niacinamide or exfoliating products like BHA.

After using this for the past couple months, even as early as a few days, I found this to be amazing. I see a difference in my face, doesn’t feel like I’m putting so much on my face, not a heavy thickness. Very easy to apply with a cotton pad and wipe around. I’ve noticed less pimples and acne, along with my face clearing up and looking more refreshed and bright. Should have done before and after pics but I didn’t think of it until now. After using it a lot, I still have so much left in the bottle and it’s not halfway yet. Definitely worth the investment, it’s a great price, it’s a large bottle and can last you a long time. You will see results in your skin care, this is something you’d want to add to your routine. One of the best toners I’ve used!

This toner made a real difference in my T-zone. My skin feels less greasy, and the pores look smaller after just a week of use. It’s gentle with no stinging, and layers great under moisturizer. Definitely staying in my skincare routine!

I KNOW the quality of her products are good. Her prices are very reasonable. This the third product of hers I've bought.

I feel I have always taken care of my skin. Even with regular facials and the use of many products my larger pores on my nose contained filament that looked like tiny blackheads. I bought 1 oz of this product and Paula’s product with salicylic acid. I have used both twice a day for approx 7 days on my nose. There is slight flaking of skin on my nose but no longer the little black dots or enlarged pores. I have also used a tool that when I apply pressure allows some stubborn filament to come out of pores. I am so happy with these products. They are working quickly to do what I have been trying to do for years.

I absolutely love Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Face Toner. Currently on my second 6.4 oz bottle! My skin is sensitive and combination, so I’m always cautious about new products, but this toner has been a game-changer. It feels so refreshing and hydrating every time I apply it, and it doesn't sting or irritate my skin.I’ve definitely noticed my pores appear smaller and my skin feels smoother overall.

The Paula’s Choice SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Face Toner is marketed as a pore-minimizing toner for combination and oily skin, but it may not fully deliver on its claims, especially considering the price. While the toner does feel refreshing and helps control excess oil and shine temporarily, the promise of pore minimization feels more like a marketing tactic than a tangible result.Realistically, no topical product can permanently shrink pores, though it can temporarily improve their appearance. This toner is hydrating and gentle, which is a plus, and it may work as a solid basic toner for those with oily or acne-prone skin who want a light layer of hydration. However, the results aren’t remarkable enough to justify the higher price point, especially if the primary goal is pore minimization.Overall, the Paula’s Choice SKIN BALANCING Toner might be useful for controlling oil, but it may fall short of expectations if you’re hoping for noticeable pore reduction.

So far no issues. Part of my daily routine.
