My Experience with Garnier Pure Active Sensitive Anti-Blemish Clarifying Tonic:

I recently picked up a gel wash as well as a toner from the ‘Anti-Blemish’ range. I had never used a wash and toner from the same range earlier. My toners always last longer than face washes but this time I ran out of my toner. And in the search of a new toner, I came across this range. The toner comes in a transparent plastic bottle. You can see the quantity of the toner as it is a transparent bottle. It comes with a flip cap, which shuts with a click. Thus, there is no chance of leakage.

The toner has a gel-like consistency and this astonished me. I assumed that all toners had a liquidy, runny texture. The gel is a bit runny and dries off within 10 seconds. It smells pleasant and floral. Just 2-3 drops of the toner are enough for face and neck. The face wash dries out the skin and following up with this toner soothes the dry skin. This toner also adds a refreshing, cleansed feel to the skin.

The toner also effectively removes makeup and other residues including oil. However, it is not very effective when it comes to removing waterproof makeup. I have used it on my eye area and I didn’t face any irritation. Thus, the product is suitable for sensitive skin. When both, the wash and the toner, are used the skin is mattified and oiliness gets controlled for almost 4-5 hours. The skin also feels very soft and smooth.

The toner creates a perfect and a clean base before moisturization and makeup. If you have a combination skin, you need to follow up with a moisturizer. When I use it along with the gel wash, I get good results. I had a pimple and this range almost faded it without leaving a mark. The toner also tightens and firms the skin. I have also noticed that it evens out the skin tone and adds a subtle glow. Overall, the toner is a good one!

So, summing up:
