The Purple Spirit Asks:
I have oily skin with large pores and blackheads on and around my nose and chin (aftermath of bad acne during teenage). And now I want to use a toner that will help in its reduction. Please don’t suggest Clinique. I know that’s the best but I’m looking for slightly cheaper options pls.
Thanks in advance!
ummm… i wanted to suggest clinique one ๐ ๐

is it ok if we dont apply moisturizer after using toner?
my skin is oily acne prone
Please name some few toner that dont need moisturizer afterwards
PS…….I have found that the best toner that has worked for me and has stung less….is the Nivea Visage oil regulating toner. :yes: :yes: :yes: The other ones which I have found with less stinging factor is the Avon’s rose toner, Oriflame’s aloe toner. :yes: :yes:
Thank you Jomol! Will try these. :thanks:
Ya have heard mixed reviews about Biotique and I’m ok with stronger astringent type toners also. But if this reduces pores I’m definitely getting it. :teddy:
Arey this reply is for Visakhi and heena below. Pata ni kyun yahan popst ho gYa!
Biotique cucumber freshner works really fine for extremely oily skin.. It reduces pores also. But its on the stronger side. I like it, but if you want some mild ones, don’t go for it..
me too 4 biotique cucumber toner.effectively reduces pores n removes dirt
Same here!! I have been using Biotique Cucumber water toner for last 8 months and I am loving the results :preen: I have oily skin which easily falls prey to zits but since last six months I have seen NONE!!!! :yahoo:
Nivea? I too have the same problem and Vichy Normaderm works well. But since it is not an option for you, Nivea could be good I guess. Have heard good reviews.
Lots of people are recommending Nivea.. :thanks: Prerna.. Will go for the Nivea one next!
You can try Fab India Tea Tree toner.. its just 150 bucks & its good..
Thank you lovely. I just ordered for this online since it’s so cheap and to see how effective it is. :thanks:
lotus basil tone..its refreshing ๐
Shaili does the lotus one foam or it’s liquid type only?
when you spray it kinda foams on the cotton pad but i guess its cuz of the pressure only as my fab india rose water also foams on the pad which later subsides
i cannot use tea tree on my oily/combi skin as it stings me a bit
so i just alternate between lotus basil tone and fab ind rose water ๐
is the lotus one alcohol free?
hey gals wese me wanna ask does normal vinegar wil do ??? ?:) ?:) ?:) ?:)
homemade me to i try lemon or citrus fruits se scrubbing at tyms,,, they work well… cucumbers r also good.. n rose water is unforgettable to mention… i’ve super oily skin but wasn’t able to find my HG toner till yet!!! :struggle: :struggle: :struggle: :struggle: :struggle:
blackheads – clean and clear daily scrub is really good
tonner – Nivea Visage oil regulating toner / Neutrogena alchohol- free tonner
open pores – donno heard Retinal A cream/ointment help minimize pores.
Thanks nidhi! I’m already using clean n clear ka scrub and it is working.. Thanks for the other suggestions too! :teddy:
himalaya’s night cream s quite good!though i have oily skin but whenever i apply it b4 bed….the next morning my face looks smooth n fresh….but u need to check for urself…
i have a lil same problem … i use fab india tea tree toner…i have seen a lot of difference in my face texture! hope u find ur type soon….
:thanks: :thanks: Rati for posting my query.. Very helpful responses! :teddy: :teddy: :puchhi:
good query thePurplespirit. I will try the Nivea one too. is Toner absolutely necessary though? can i just do cleanser/moisturizer?
Aruna I myself was only using cleanser and moisturizer but I find with passing age (I’m almost 28 now) I need a toner to reduce my pores and keep blackheads at bay. Im also going to start using a nighhtcream coz good skincare will pay off when we get old. :high5: :high5:
that logic makes sense..btw, me have announced it to anyone who listened that me well into my 40’s :woot: so I think finding the right toner is a must. i must tell u that TBS seaweed toner works quite well too
Thanks for reminding me that I seriously need to get a toner. :shy: :snicker:
My vote goes to Witch Hazel (distillate)! It’s about $10 in New Zealand, which is cheaper than most of the other toners here. If you can’t get that, then you should get a toner with Witch Hazel and Tea Tree Oil in it. I have oily, acne-prone skin too and this toner has improved it!
