As a guy who has oily skin, this does an ok job. I haven't tried any other toner besides this one and based on my 2 years of experience with this, I'd give it an "ok" because after applying this and then applying the day moisturizer, I let it settle as I'm on my way to school (wake up around 4am and arriving to my school at 6am). After an hour or so thats when my oily skin appears. I've tried days without bringing the toner and days where i would bring it to see if there's a difference. Unsurprisingly there is. I'd get oily skin WITHOUT bringing it with me and when I do bring it, after constantly reapplying (every 1-2hrs depending on how oily my face is), my oil level is balanced out. Also, I get a similar result before I sleep (I use this and the NIGHT moisturizer). Similar because my face isn't as oily before I sleep. As it says on the bottle, use twice a day but then I end up using it atleast up to 3-5 times so that I can control my oily skin throughout the day. To conclude, for guys or girls who have oily skin, you should still try this out! Everyone has different face types and I'm sure with people who have light/moderate oily face types, this will do the job. Sadly for my super oily face, it isn't enough to keep it "shine free" throughout the day. Wishing for a skin care line for men as well!! [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Bobby!

This toner is one of my favorite products from human❤nature. It freshens your skin, and the smell is good. A must-try!

I had a bad breakout last August 2018 because I tried several new products on my face. Then I decided to return to HHN Acne Solution and use this toner to reduce my acne marks. So far, I can see good results — less acne marks, less oily and less pimples.

No stingy feeling everytime I applied on my face. Very gentle and natural. I'm already in love with this product.

good to my face. no more acne.

This is what I am using for my acne-prone skin! I love that it clears the impurities not washed off from the facial wash. Also, it makes my face less oily and shiny, whithout making it dry. It's a balance, really! I pair it with HHN acne gel solution at night (only dabbing the pimples). It doesn't break me out, and with the HHN acne gel solution, it controls my pimples really well. No more expensive topical acne treatments!

helps keep my oils at bay!

I've been using this for a month now together with the Balancing Facial Wash. So far, the facial wash only made my face less oily. The toner feels refreshing and it cleans my face really well without drying it out. I'm just not sure if I had the right face care routine products from Human ❤ Nature yet. I hope I figure it out.

Just started using this 4 days ago, so far I love the results!

I have been using this for a month now, together with the Balancing Facial Wash. The wash worked for me but the toner did not... I've had breakouts since using the duo. However, when using the Wash alone for a week, I did not have pimple breakouts. Now I have zits and some pimple scars from continued use of the Toner for almost 2 weeks because I thought it was a side effect that will just subside. Now I am no longer using this toner but I plan to switch to the other one (Nourishing Toner). [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Kristine Ruby! Thank you for purchasing our Balancing Face Toner.

After double cleansing (necessity balm and facial wash), I use this toner. I particularly love the cooling sensation I get upon applying the product. Truly love this toner!

This toner didn't work for me. Used this for a month and I had breakouts. I loved that this didn't sting but I'm just sensitive to one of its ingredients. The Balancing Wash, however, worked for me. I continued using the wash with the Nourishing Toner and my face became clear. The pimples caused by the Balancing Toner healed without drying, and now, I rarely have pimples. Then, after finishing up the Balancing Wash, I switched to the Nourishing Wash to enjoy the full effect of the Nourishing Line. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Lyndsey!

I just want to share this. Lalaki po ako and I have this acne and oil problem on my face ever since. I've tried lot of chemical-based solutions para mawala yung problems ko sa mukha but still, walang epekto. But one time, I realized that I need to return to the basic or the natural one that's why I purchased this product. Fortunately, everything goes well. It has been weeks of using thing product at kitang kita ang resulta. Does it remove oils? Definitely, YES! Thank you Human Nature for this wonderful product!

I love this product for my combination skin. It balances the oils on my T-Zone and at the same time removes the dryness/patches on my face. This product does not make my face looking too sallow and dull like the other facial toners do.

WOW THE MAGIC OF MANILA ELEMI!! It's like I'm using a luxury brand. My cystic pimples disappeared after just two weeks of using this together with the balancing facial wash! This is now my holy grail toner! Thanks HHN!

I love how it cleanses my skin without the harsh stingy feeling. I just hope HNN can formulate this with some ingredient that could add a minty feeling when you use this product for a fresher finish. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Nicole! We're so thrilled that you loved our Balancing Face Toner. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the mint version. You may want to consider trying our Nourishing Face Toner which gives a mild cooling effect on the skin. Thank you!]

I've been using this toner since 2011. I witnesssed how it evolved from what it is now and HN just gives out all its best in everything that they do and I'm one happy, contented, always coming back, label-conscious, shine-free face customer! :)

I use this for my acne-prone skin. I have active hormonal acne and never found a solution for my skin problem. Thankfully, I finally decided to switch to natural and organic products for my skin. This toner doesn't break me out. I use it night and day after washing my face. It's dewy but doesn't oil my skin. The redness of my cystic pimples diminished after using this- no breakouts after a week of using. Definitely number one in my skincare regimen.

I love this toner it's so gentle and I feel like my face is dewy yet not oily. I love HN products. I bought this plus the facial wash, sunflower oil, pore brush, mask+scrub

The best toner I have ever used. It compliments my combination skin (oily and dry). It is effective yet gentle on skin.

At first i thought this toner isn't effective because it doesn't sting, but i continue using it then. Surprisingly, I've noticed that my face isn't oily when I wake up every morning. Now, I'm on my 2nd bottle!

I don't like using this toner. I had breakouts after using this. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Cielo. Thank you for purchasing our Balancing Face Toner.

im glad i bought this~ after two weeks of consistent use day and night, along with the HN night moisturizer, my pimples are gone! the redness disappeared and pimple scars lightened. now i have an evened out skin tone and pimples are flat and diminishing. this product delivers!

Hi HN, I bought the balancing toner last Thursday. I used it yesterday and this morning and my face, particularly the center part, turned red. Is this normal? [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Criz!

Thank you very much! :)]

I never switched back to the old alcohol-free toners I've tried since I started using HHN Balancing Face Toner about two years ago. Besides it's gentle, all-natural and non-drying, it has a mild scent that doesn't overpower my moisturizer's fragrance. I love it!

I kinda have a sensitive and combination skin. I've actually tried all of your toners but this is probably my fave among them. It had a little sting or itchiness to it in the beginning but my skin eventually had gotten pass that. At first as well, it wasn't totally helping keeping the oil at bay but it gotten better little by little. And now what I can say, it feels refreshing and doesn't give me flare ups, although I still get the occasional monthly breakouts. I only use this at night 'cause when I tried to use it in the morning, my face gets stickier and oilier than without. It's not very noticeable but it helped shrunk my pores a bit after my first bottle, still not totally though. I'm glad I got to try this . I just wish wish wish the 200ml size would also be sold at Landmark, Makati. I kept on waiting, please please please make it available. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Valerie Nicole!

Effective in controlling oil and gentle on skin.

Smells sooo good! I love applying it on my face. It did sting during the first week of use, but using this toner and the Balancing Facial Wash, my face feels smoother and smells really good. This had a better effect on me compared to the Nourishing Facial Wash and Toner.

I'm 20 years old and just recently shifted from using an alcohol-based toner to this product from HHN. I absolutely love it! I have oily skin, which is prone to blackheads on my nose, and other blemishes on my forehead and cheeks. I've noticed that after using this toner for a week (along with the detoxifying mask + scrub 2x a week), my face has been considerably clearer than before! I hope that HHN can develop a thick, moisturising night eye cream as well. It's the only HHN product missing from my night skin care routine.

Bought one at HHN main office along commonwealth ave.. I had been using this twice a day, every morning and night with Acne Def FW as it was recommended, but it made my face more oily while using for 2 weeks(to the point na after I put my makeup im super oily na in just a few mins on my Tzone esp on my nose, i didnt do anything pa my day is just about to start and when I go downstairs from my room and look in my vanity mirror I can see my super shiny face already im using matte products pa ah).. on my 1st week i thought i should give it more time for my face to adjust and to figure out what really cause me to be more oily than usual because before using this I had my regular natural toner * Dickinson's witchhazel variant.. and when I finally decided to stop using this toner, the next morning I woke up with a big difference, my face isnt oily nor dry, i didnt use anything the night before but the Acne Def FW only.. dont get me wrong i still love HHN products its just that this one isnt made for me :( [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Michelle Anne! We're sorry and quite surprised to hear about your experience. This is actually the first time that we've encountered a complaint of this sort. Our Balancing Toner is formulated to help control oiliness naturally; however, we understand that different people may have different reactions to natural products. It's possible that there may be an ingredient in our toner that's triggering your skin to produce more oil. We're glad to know that our Acne Defense Facial Wash works better for you, though, so we highly recommend that you continue using that instead :) Our Customer Service will be in touch with you soon in case you need help with anything else :) Thank you!]

My skin regimen together with the Balancing wash.

It wasnt my first time to try organic toner. My previous toner(jason c ester) from healthy options was doing a great job but due to its price, i decided to try other organic brand. I am so happy I tried HN balancing toner. To my surprise, it does a lot than jason's. :)

I always had a sensitive skin My face reacts easily when something foreign is applied to. I never applied a toner on my face just now. I was so excited to purchase this toner because I read a lot of positive reviews about. I was a bit nervous of trying it on my face because of my hypersensitivite face. What happened is first I cleansed my face with the Balancing facial wash then the toner after minutes I applied the Night moisturizer product you have. Two hours after I felt itchiness around my eyes then my cheeks. When I looked at the mirror, my eyes where a little smaller that my usual eye size. I'm quite not sure to what product my face reacted to. Good thing I always have a steroid cream with me. It subsided hours after applying it. Maybe I'm just not used to applying stuff on my face. Can you recommend a more effective toner for my hypersensitive face. Thanks in advance. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Guia! We're sorry to hear about your experience. While our products are safe and natural, it's still possible that you may be sensitive or allergic to one of our natural ingredients, perhaps in our Balancing Facial Wash and Toner, since our moisturizers are clinically tested as hypoallergenic. We can recommend that you try our Nourishing Facial Wash and Toner for sensitive skin like yours, as they may work better for you. Our Customer Service will be in touch with you soon to help you out :) Thank you!]

I was looking for a new toner because my old one was difficult to source out and ran out fast. I was having doubts on buying this toner because of the reviews, but I gave it a try because it said it was for oily and combination skin. Well guess what, I love this toner! I haven't had any breakouts or reactions when I used this. Another reason why I love this toner is because of the instant glowing effect it gave on my skin. It does have a burning sensation when you put it on, but that's probably because of the citrus ingredients in the toner. Aah will definitely repurchase this! [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Michelle Faye! While our Balancing Face Toner does not contain alcohol, it may sometimes sting due to its citrus content especially if you use any facial wash that has exfoliants or scrubs in it prior to toning. We recommend shaking our toner well before use for best results :) Thanks!]

I am a fan of HHN and I have been ordering nearly every month. I noticed that in my recent order (earlier this week), this toner is not mild anymore. Did you change your formulation? When I apply the toner on my face, it causes an unpleasant stinging sensation, unlike before. I am now afraid to even apply it around my eyes (which I always do in your old formulation). Please review and tone down whatever is causing that stinging. Can someone possibly contact me, you have my email via Order WEB10290072. Thanks! [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi EC! We're sorry to hear about your experience. This is quite surprising as you seem to have tolerated our Balancing Face Toner well, and we haven't changed our formulation. It's possible that there are other factors involved. We'd like to learn more to determine the cause of your reaction and retrieve your bottle for investigation. Our Customer Service will be in touch with you right away to help you out :) Thank you!]

I've been looking for natural products especially for my 14 year old daughter, I'm really thankful to God I've discovered human nature. Before, a beauty consultant promoting beauty products told me she might need to see a dermatologist but now I'm worry free. Thank you human nature, everyone in our family loves your products!

I use this toner together with the balancing cleanser and I'm not yet sure if this is the one breaking me out. Although after my first use, some of my pimples were lessened but new pimples grew on other areas of my face. And whenever I moistened the cotton ball with this, I can't see any sign of dirt that may be left by the cleanser. Maybe the cleanser did washed all of the dirt since it has bamboo scrubs with it? I'm not sure. But I love the citrus smell and it doesn't give me that sting unlike other toners. It didn't dry my face too. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Alison! It's possible that there are other factors causing your pimples, as our Balancing Face Toner did not have an irritating effect on your skin when you began to use it. It's possible that your skin may still be adjusting to its formulation. And yes, it's possible that our Balancing Facial Wash's deep cleansing ability is what lessened the remaining dirt and oil on your skin. We recommend monitoring your usage over the next few weeks and if ever you experience any irritation, please bring it to our attention right away so that we can look into your concern at once :) We'll wait to hear back from you! Thank you! :)]

Been using it regularly and it doesn't sting like other toners. My skin doesn't dry up as much as it did before. Will keep using it. :)

pimples started appearing on my face especialy on my chin after four consecutive days of using the balancing toner. i had to stop using it because i notice 2-3 new pimples appear each day.. it has d same effect on me as the balancing facial wash. i still love hhn products. just not the balancing facial duo. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Jane! We're sorry to hear about your experience. There are many possible causes for pimples, from stress levels and hormones, to diet and lifestyle. It's also possible that your skin may be sensitive or allergic to one of its natural ingredients. Perhaps our Nourishing or Hydrating line would be more suitable for your skin type? In any case, we would like to learn more about your experience and help you find the products that work for you. Our Customer Service will be in touch with you soon :) Thanks!]

Having oily and sensitive skin, there is only one toner that worked for me. I was forever loyal to that imported brand. When my Tita ordered this from me, being a dealer myself, I was a bit hesitant because the previous toners and face wash didn't work for my skin type. Because I am very keen on using our local products, I decided to give it another try. Oh boy was I glad I gave this Balancing Face Wash & Toner a try. I super love it! Love everything about it and must I say, it smells good enough to eat/drink. Haha. My son thought I was drinking some citrus drink even. Bravo bravo!!

I have an extremely sensitive skin and I have tried a lot of toners in the market but all of them make my face really itchy and blotchy. Pero this one, walang sting and it doesn't dry my skin.

I have a very bad experienced with the products I bought here lately. Before, I used to put sunflower oil in my face and all over my body as moisturizer and it work so well for me. Since I got a very positive output with the first product that I have tested, so I decided to try the other products that HN had. Not to mentioned the very good feedback over it.. So here I am so excited to make a try for these products hoping to work well for me: Last week ago I bought these product here : New Balancing Face Toner 200ml, Balancing Facial Wash 200ml, Moisturizing Day Fluid w/ 15 Vitamins & Minerals 100ml, Facial Scrub with Strawberry Scrubs 50ml Moisturizing Night Cream w/ Plant Collagen 100ml... After a day of using it, I got little zits in my chin and I thought that was just an effect of using these new products or just that my face is adjusting to it... So i keep using it for 4 days. Day by day, I've seen alot little zits all over my face... I'm freakin out what had happen to my face... So I stop using it but the zits are growing bigger already... I hate to say that I really had a bad experienced over these products though my bottles are still full and I dont want to use it anymore. Actually, am thinking of returning the products that I bought... Please help me out. I dont want it anymore... I will keep using the sunflower oil instead since i also bought 1 big bottle together with these items. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Shiela! We're sorry to hear about your experience. Since you mentioned that your pimples kept growing even after you stopped using the products, it's likely that they're caused by something else and not the products, however it's also possible you may have a slight allergy to one ingredient. It seems you tried a lot of different products all at once, so it's possible your skin may have got shocked by the sudden change. We would like to know more about your concern to determine what may have caused your reaction. Our Customer Service will be in touch with you immediately. We would be happy to offer you a free return, exchange, or credit for any products you are unsatisfied with, as well has help you find the products that are right for you :) Thank you and we hope we continue to support Only the Good!]

The best toner I've used. It doesn't sting, makes my face feel clean, but does not dry it out. Grabbed my second bottle as soon as I saw one available at the supermarket because it sells quite fast.

For me, this is the best toner. I've found the perfect toner I can use everyday with Human Nature. I've been looking for the best toner I can use but I only found it from HN. I first use HN products when I won from a contest blog with sanitizers & lip balm late last year. I get interested with HN since then. While buying some groceries January this year, I found out about this toner & started using it. It made my face lighten, smoother & removes my blackheads. Very affordable, safe to use & so skin friendly. I've never imagine that there is something like this. I'm so thankful that I found out about this toner. People around me noticed the difference, now that I'm using it already everyday, day & night. I'm also very satisfied with other products that I am now using. And today, my online orders just came & I'm excited to use it. I also just bought for my husband & daughter. The service is great, fast delivery & nice packaging. HN products is now part of my household. ;) Please continue making great products like this! I love HN! ;)

I love this stuff! I love that it has that nice, strong cleansing feeling of regular toners but with a fruitier scent and without the harmful chemicals! I think it did just as good a job at making my skin even as the regular stuff (my skin is very average, and that hasn't changed). Altogether, it's a great product!

I so love this product along with the Balancing Face Wash. I went with the Hydrating Face Toner at first but I had an allergic reaction to it, so I decided to use this product instead. I'm so happy I tried it! My face sometimes reacts in a way that leaves small rashes on my face and the Balancing Face Toner (with the Face Wash) has gotten rid of them. Also, I am not really a huge fan of orange or lemon scented facial products, but this one won me over from first use because of how subtle the scent is. I hope you could also come up with a face cream or moisturizer that includes elemi. I read so many good things about it. Please do not discontinue this product. I love it so much!

I have very oily skin and I need to wipe my face every 20 minutes and then my sister recommend me this awesome toner, I never use toner before because I'm afraid I might break out because I have very sensitive skin, I'm acne prone and I have eczema. The first time I tried it I was so nervous but WOW it's like a magic, even my brother noticed that my face is less oily. I am oily free for about 4 hours after using it. Now I just ordered facial wash, moisturizer, face powder and lip gloss. I'm so stoked to have it! thank you =) and I can't believe it is so cheap for an organic product!! God bless.

I'm not really a big fan of orange-y scents but I just can't help but love this one! It actually smells a bit like Body Shop's Satsuma (Orange) Shower Gel except fresher and milder. And the best part about it is it's non alcohol-based! It does a really good job at removing residual dirt that escapes washing without leaving your face feeling tight and dry. I'm never going back to using chemical toners ever again! Please don't ever stop making this!

Been using this toner for a week and i love it! The scent is so perfect for me. First I used the balancing facial wash, next toner , day fluid, and at night the moisturizing cream with plant collagen. So far the result looks promising,crossing my fingers for week two. Read my reviews. http://mylifeneverbeeneasy.blogspot.com/

I really like this product together with the Balancing facial wash! I've been using both the products since July and it really does a good job removing dirt and oil (especially when I visit Manila, after using this, I can see all the pollution in the cotton--eww). I also noticed that since I am using these products, my pores seemed smaller and more refined.:D Oh, I also love the orangey smell! I'm really choosy when it comes to smell, good thing it smelled so good and refreshing.:)

I used to like using alcohol-based toners because of the almost sterile cleanliness it leaves behind despite my skin feeling completely parched after. This gives the same very clean and refreshing feeling but without the dryness or oil over compensation a few minutes after. Such a lovely orange scent too!

I feel refreshed every time I use this toner and at the same time it controls my oiliness without leaving my skin a bit dry. Please don't discontinue this product.

It has definitely controlled the oiliness of my face. =) goes well with the Balancing Facial Wash... An amazing duo!
