My Experience with Pond’s Acne Clear Pore Conditioning Toner:
The product comes in a baby blue translucent plastic bottle having a white flip top cap. The cap shuts tightly making a click sound and that makes this bottle fit for travel purposes. The triangular-shaped bottle looks sleek and nice. Overall, the packaging is nice, lightweight and travel friendly.
It has a strong alcoholic smell, which irritates a lot. The toner is a clear liquid with a watery consistency. It feels light on the skin. This is an alcoholic toner and I usually prefer products without alcohol content. As I picked this up online, I was not exactly aware of the ingredient list, but I am glad that it did not cause any adverse reaction on my sensitive skin.
My skin recently had breakouts and I tried everything and nothing really worked. So, I decided to go back to the basics and use a calamine lotion. I decided to try this toner as well as it claims to clear acne. It contains salicylic acid and tea tree oil which prevents acne. I am really happy to share that it helped to control my acne within 4-5 days. It helped to dry out the acne and prevented further breakouts. It removes excess oil from pores and makes my skin soft.
Though I have combination skin, it looks oily after 2-3 hours of the application of this toner. I have large skin pores and this toner did nothing to reduce the size of pores. It is a nice pore clearing toner, removes all impurities from my skin and cleanses my skin, pore by pore. Every time I use this toner, I observe dirt and impurities coming out from my face on the cotton pad. Overall, I liked the results of this product. I loved how nicely it works on my skin but I would not repurchase it because of its alcoholic formulation, I would rather opt for some herbal toner.

it is good for removing dirt in skin but it’s alcohol content is too strong for sensitive skin. used it before going to bed and woke with a very itchy face and had a breakout 🙁
