I've been searching for a new toner since my dermatologist ran out of my regular toner for 3 months already. My face can't stand the gunk I've been giving due to commuting everyday. I was browsing toners in Wastons and I found this. I am very hesitant to buy this since it's not a friend to my skin when I was back in high school. I've used Pond's facial cleansers and toners but neither one of it worked on me. The reason why I got this product is because of its very cheap price...and I give second chances to anything...and anyone ;)

My verdict:
The packaging is plastic, you can't expect much from the packaging since this is very cheap. The toner is as clear as the water. It smells really good(maybe some won't find it that good but it smells good. There's perfume on the ingredients list so what can you expect?). Feels really cool(icy cool) when applied on to the face. It gets rid of all the dirt even you've cleaned your face with your favorite cleanser. It is indeed a pore conditioning toner! After days of religiously using this, my VERY VISIBLE LARGE PORES were diminished, LIKE REALLY! It was like magic! I never thought that a P79.00 product will reduce my visible large pores. It's pore tightening essence did a great job as well on refining the skin. All areas without pimples were very smooth to touch. My face stays matte a little longer than usual. It cures but doesn't prevent pimples from showing up. There's just one thing that made me hate this product, it gave me a lot of very fine pimples on my forehead and on my chin. :\ It also has Alcohol Denat as the second ingredient. Alcohol is a no no for individuals who have sensitivity to alcohol.
It really broke my heart. :\ I was so in love with this product but when those fine pimples showed up...no, it wasn't because of hormones and such, it was just an effect from the product. :((
I really recommend this to people who has oily skin, and large pores! I hope it'll work on you 'cause it's really good. :)
Overall:
♥♥♥
