- SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Face Toner with Niacinamide, for Oily Skin & Combination, Minimizes Large Pores, Controls Oil & Shine, Hydrates & Replenishes, Fragrance-Free

Love this toner! It’s lightweight and refreshing, and I’ve noticed my pores look smaller and my skin feels smoother. Perfect before serums or moisturizer, and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Definitely a must-have in my routine!

Paula’s Choice toner is hands-down one of the best skincare products I’ve used. From the very first week, my skin felt calmer, smoother, and more balanced. It’s incredibly gentle yet effective—no stinging, no irritation, just clean, refreshed skin that actually feels cared for. What I love most is how lightweight it is. It absorbs quickly, layers beautifully with serums and moisturizers, and leaves my skin hydrated without any residue or tightness. Over time, I noticed improved texture, fewer clogged pores, and a healthier overall glow. The formula feels thoughtfully made—fragrance-free, non-drying, and perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin. It truly preps my skin and makes the rest of my routine work better. If you’re looking for a toner that actually does something without being harsh, Paula’s Choice delivers. Worth every penny and a permanent staple in my skincare routine. I partner it with Paula’s Choice Exfoliant BHA Toner and my 40 year old skin feels and looks like my high school skin again!

This is the only product I have ever used that actually reduces pore size and does not break out my skin. I have used tons of different toners; Mary Kay, proactive, oil of Olay, face reality, medicube, pure witch hazel and rose water - this is the only product hat visibly shrinks the pores on my nose. I have very oily skin and very sensitive skin. So basically anything I use on my skin breaks it out. I got a travel size of this product after reading the reviews and desperately trying make my skin look less wrinkly and just crappy for an upcoming trip with my husband. Since it was a trial size, and available for return I thought what is the worst that could happen, I’ll try it on a little area and if it breaks my face out I’ll send it back. But I was AMAZED. I have had large sunken pore on my nose for about 20 years. No amount of pore strips, cleanser, toner - makes it smaller. But this product almost makes it completely disappear.. I don’t know how it works, because I do have to constantly use it daily to keep the same effect but I visibly lifts and tightens the area around that giant pore. More than satisfied and just ordered the full size bottle because I do not want to run out. If you have larger pores by this! I don’t bother taken a before / after - because I was skeptical but it really works.

When I used this on my face I started breaking out but I had some dark marks on my chest and started using it there instead and it helped reduced the dark marks. I’ve been monitoring it for weeks now and they are almost fully faded. It worked well on my body but not my face.

Really love this toner! It helps control oil and makes my pores look smaller. Lightweight, gentle, and no irritation at all. Will definitely purchase again.

I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice Pore-Reducing Toner and the difference in my skin is honestly amazing. My pores look smaller, my skin feels more balanced, and I’ve noticed a much more even tone overall. It gives my skin that hydrated, healthy look without feeling heavy or greasy. What I love most is that it’s alcohol-free, so it doesn’t sting or dry me out. Instead, it leaves my skin soft, refreshed, and ready for the rest of my routine. I have combination skin, and this toner has done a great job helping control oil throughout the day while still giving me enough hydration. After using it consistently, my skin just looks smoother and clearer — the results are definitely noticeable. If you have oily, combination, or acne-prone skin and want something gentle that actually makes a difference, this toner is absolutely worth trying.

Large Pores? Second time purchasing. This product works wonders, especially when used with the exfoliation one too. Saw and felt a difference in my skin in a week!

I've been holding off on this review, hoping for something to justify its price. However, I have not found anything to do so. While its a good toner, its exactly that, just a good toner. I was using a drug store witch hazel toner before this. I have oily skin that does so much better without toner, letting my face wash and matching moisturizer do its thing. However, toner is a must to thoroughly clean your face and remove skin flaking (I use cvs brand exfoliating cotton rounds, nothing compares to them). I don't have acne, so I can't speak for that aspect. I can say I have noticed in comparison to the toner I was using prior, I blot my face less. However, I still have to blot all day, so this toner isn't really doing me much of a favor. And again, this is also combined with a great face wash and moisturizer for oily skin. Overall, I don't see the $22 price tag I bought it for as justifiable. I've used many oily skin products over the years, from drug store to department store; from my experience, this toner is over-priced. Maybe it will work for you, and work well for acne. For myself, I will be trying other brands in hope to one day find a toner that has real oil control. ----- Update: 12/9/25 - this bottle ran out weeks ago and I have not replaced with another toner. I have been only using my face wash and moisturizer (c r ve), both formulated for oily skin. My face has never been so oil-free for so many hours (I barely blot now). After all these years, I am convinced that while toners help remove extra dirt, they have no other benefits for oily skin (unless I've yet to find the magical oily skin formula that actually works). For reference, I wash with a face cloth once or twice per week (depending on if I feel I need it, but usually once per week), for exfoliation/removing dead skin cells. Other than that, I just use my hands with my face wash for daily washes. I hope this helps at least one person that has had similar trials and errors!

Tras utilizarlo 1 mes me deja la piel MUY grasienta… la piel si que es verdad que me ha mejorado. Si tienes la piel mixta o grasa, uso diurno olvídate.

Endlich habe ich eine Produktreihe gefunden, die für mich sehr gut passt. Ich habe unreine Mischhaut, die zu vereinzelten, aber dann großen und entzündlichen Pickeln neigt. Zusätzlich habe ich durch eine Schuppenflechte eine leicht empfindliche Gesichtshaut. Man hat schon nach den ersten Anwendungen einen großen Effekt gesehen. Nach ca. 3 Monaten kann ich das erste Mal seit Jahren davon sprechen, dass ich zufrieden mit meiner Gesichtshaut bin. Ich Kombination benutze ich zum Gesichtswasser das Exfolaite Liquid und Waschgel. Gerne würde ich die Tagescreme mal ausprobieren, doch ich muss sagen, dass die mir, besonders in der Summe mit den anderen Produkten, dann doch zu teuer ist.

Light and clean. We buy on repeat!

Fast delivery and amazing product. I'm using also exfoliator from same brand and I'm in love. My face skin is clean and so soft. All recommendations
