Hi,
Ive being using the Dr.H clarifying toner for a while now and im starting to think its not really doing any good for my skin as ive had more blocked pores appearing. And I hate the smell!!
So can anyone recommend a good cleansing toner preferably which contains salicylic acid which I could buy?
Thanks  |

| I don't think toner will really solve your clogged pore problem. I personally think cleansing mask works better in this regard. clarison/kiehl's have good toner. You may want to look into their product |

| Perhaps you should try an ACV toner (you can DIY from the DIY thread). Or buy one from the health food store - I like Earth Sciences Clarifying Herbal Astringent - no alcohol, has lots of good ingredients and completely natural, it's ACV based. |

I have also been trying to find a good Glycolic acid peel(s) but just had no luck.
Anyone know where i can buy a good one? |

| On EDS! PSF's Pumpkin Peel and Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel are very good. |

| Juice Beauty Green Apple looks the best. $39 is quite a lot though, how long does it last roughly? |

| Personally, I won't spend any money on toner. Toner is not a must in any skin care regimen. The only thing you need to do is to apply moisturzier while you skin is still damp. |

I've had a time where I used it almost everyday and if I use it that often it'll last been around 2-3 months but you only need it 1-2x a week so it should last you 5-6 months. You only apply a thin layer of it. |

| I second the suggestion for the Green Apple Peel. I LOVE this stuff, and personally I think it would make any clarifying toner work better. Actually, I love the smell of the Dr. H toner, but like you I don't think it does a whole lot for clogged pores, so I've temporarily shelved mine. Instead, I've been using Zenbiotic's Oxytoner (www.zenbiotic.com )--- cheap and it works GREAT, and the toner from Best Bath Store (www.bestbathstore.com ). The one from BBS is more expensive, but you can try a free sample first, which is nice. |

For peels, I highly recommend Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel and Neutrogena Acne Mark Fading Peel.
For a deep cleansing mask, I highly recommend the Clay-Neem Treatment by Earth to Body. I love this stuff. www.earthtobody.ca |

| I have the Dr. H facial toner and really didnt find it does anything for the skin. Overall I dont think toners really do much. You have to be careful about alchoholic toners since they can be very drying to the skin. I used to use the toners from clinique and that really dried out my skin very badly.. i would only suggest alchoholic toners for those who have very oily/acne skin. Other than that I think toners are a waste of money. A good cleaner, exfoliator and moisturizer should be goood enough. |

| I tried that Dr. H toner and did not like it either. I have been using:Witchhazel, Neutrogena Clean Pores and L'Occitane Olive Radiance toners. I like them all but can really give a thumbs up to the Neutrogena...it has Aha and Bha I think...it smells nice and keeps my blackheads away. Oh yeah...I have also been using the proactive system again (this week to clear up a few spots) and their toner is good too. |

I believe the toner was a waste of time for my skin so I have stopped using it. However still using Dr.H Cleansing Cream although debating whether that is actually working or not.
Just used the green peel all over my face a little red now but nothing stings. Heard your skin turns nice and pink after a while so we shall see!

| The only thing I liked in the proactiv routine was the toner. The cleanser and acne treatment were bad, but the toner was good |
