I love my CAUDALIE Beauty Elixir...but it's $50 per bottle! I've tried making it myself based on the ingredients, but no such luck. The toner is just the best...I've tried dr.H, making my own with ACV, Terressentials etc (yes, I want a natural and organic one preferably)...but nothing beats the Caudalie one.

Does anyone know of a natural/organic toner that gives dramatic pore-refining results without killing the wallet?

Very Happy

For daytime use I like using 3 parts Rose water to 1 part witch hazel.

You can find the recipe for ACV toner at this link: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

And there’s a recipe for a Green Tea Toner and an Aspirin Toner at this link:

Personally, as far as I’m concerned, nothing beats the ACV toner. I’m not familar with your Caudalie, so why don’t you post the ingredients and maybe we can come up with a variation that you can make at home?

The ingredients for CAUDALIE Beauty Elixir:
Grape Extracts (full of oligoelements, minerals and vitamins) alleviate imperfections, and tighten pores. Extracts of Benzoin, Myhrr, Orange, and Rose Flower tone the tissues. Essential oil of Rosemary stimulates the skin. Essential oil of Organic Balm Mint tightens the pores with an astringent effect. Orange Flower Water softens the skin. Benzoin provides healing and soothing properties. 100% natural perfume, no preservative.


I hope we can whip something up, I'd really like to see it work out. Claudalie's Beauty Elixir is wonderful.
