Is this the right step for me?

For excess oil and breakout-prone skin, after cleansing. Do not combine with Spot Treatment or Resurfacing Crème.

Gentle, balanced and strong describe formula intensity, not a ranking. Stronger is not always the right fit.

Before you pair: Pause Purifying Toner while using Resurfacing Crème or Spot Treatment. Use Clarifying Gel instead until your retinol course is finished.

    Purifying toner

    Listen, I've tried other toners but none of them makes my skin feel squeaky clean like this one. This toner definitely melts the excess oil and impurities from my face, leaving it feeling refreshing and extra clean! When I use the perfect tone face wash and then the toner, I rarely get pimples. It truly works!

    Helped to control my breakouts

    This product helped to control my breakouts. I have habit of picking at my acne and creating dark spots, but this product helped to shrink my pores and my pimples. I have used these products over the years, but not consistently and I did get good results. But I’m ready to get back on them consistently. The toner, spot treatment and the clarifying gel are my favorite!

    Awesome Toner

    Finally a toner that works for my skin! This toner glides on my face no other toner I’ve used before. Toners I used strip my skin and left me with a burning sensation but not PT toner ! My face feels and looks so refreshed afterwards and a little goes a long way. My only issue is that sometime the product squirts everywhere and I don’t want to waste such a good product. May PT can change the bottle from a pump to maybe a squeeze bottle where we can better manage how much product comes out. Overall I would definitely purchase this toner again and use it daily in my skincare routine.
