Coming from someone who has worked in Dermatology for 8-9 years...
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with toners ranging from questions that I get constantly at work like, “is this really worth it?” “Isn’t my face going to burn from Vitamin C?” And the unsolvable mystery regarding witch hazel and it’s efficacy since It always seems to burn skin on contact. I have worked in Dermatology for around 9 years and I love this product. I apply twice daily, I also use Replenix Green Tea Fortified Cleanser and CeraVe PM lotion, retin-a cream, with a glycolic peel 2-3x per week depending on the amount of breakouts I get on my chin. It sounds like a ton but it’s actually very quick (>2min). Being in Dermatology for so long, I have a pretty good idea of what works for acne, oily, anti-aging skin. As the information state on the packaging, Vitamin C brightens, tones, and refines fine lines. It also helps exfoliate old acne scars (hyperpigmented areas from previous acne bumps) over time. I do feel a little tingling sensation when I apply this toner, but it is not painful. I also spray onto a cotton pad an apply on problematic areas of my face as needed. I have oily Mediterranean skin, there is nothing that will get rid of excess oil/sebum from my skin for over 2 hours... this leaves my skin matte and vibrant for around 4 hours until my inherited skin traits kick back in. This also has Vitamin E and Glycolic Acid in it. Vitamin E is good for cell rejuvenation, maintaining healthy skin and can be used to prevent aging/ increase healing (in some cases) Glycolic Acid is a great exfoliator and helps get rid of those hyperpigmented areas after a pimple has gone away. All that said— I think this is a worthwhIle purchase. You have many options when it comes to skin care and usually the dollar amounts matter the most. This is a very inexpensive helpful option for acne prone, oily, anti-aging skin and will last months. The entire line of InstaNatural seems very effective and wallet friendly. I would highly recommend this product as well as the InstaCare line to my patients.
