I am a huge believer in good skincare and have tried many different products. None have ever worked as well for me as Origins. Also, no other toners/tonics have ever worked as well as this one. I have dry, sensitive skin and although this isn’t made specifically for that, it still works well for me. I always double cleanse when I’ve worn makeup, and even though I do that there’s still some that hides deep in your pores. This tonic gets all that is left hiding. It also gets all the deep down dirt when I don’t wear makeup. It gives a cooling sensation, but it’s not overbearing and doesn’t burn like some I’ve used in the past. I would highly recommend adding this to any skincare routine to ensure that you skin is truly clean even after cleansing.
I picked up this toner because, I’m a sucker for packaging and I think this wins the award for cutest packaging. Luckily, the product inside is amazing as well! I have combination skin, with some dry patches on my chin and am oily t-zone, and this has helped even out my skin! My oily parts are less oily and I noticed it helps remove excess oil when I use it at night, plus my dry patches have been kept at bay. The only downside is the bottle is quite small, so when using it day and night, it only lasts me about a month.
This toner was OK! It made me break out a bit, and left my skin dry with random dry patches, and burning/itching. I think it was a little too harsh for my skin type, but I gave it to a friend and it worked really well for them. I personally, wouldn’t but this again just based on my skins reaction but it really just depends on how it works for your skin.
I’ve used a lot of different toner in the past and none of them really made my skin feel good 😭. I have a very sensitive combination skin that would really react to the product that I’ve been using. Once it give a bad reaction to my skin I usually stop using it and change the brand. In this balancing tonic I’m really surprised and amazed that my skin doesn’t feel dry after I’ve applied it. I like that it doesn’t have that feeling of burning on the skin and never had reddish patches and itchiness. It feels cool and refreshing. Never gives me breakouts: So far I’m happy with the result and will continue buying this product.Origins United State™ Balancing Tonic
This toner helps control oil on my forehead without accentuating the drier spots on my chin. My face feels cleaner without feeling too tight when I use this toner after washing my face. There's quite a bit of alcohol in this product which I thought would help with acne but I don't see a noticeable difference which is why I took off a star
I love this toner. It’s great for dry or oily skin, and really makes your skin feel cleaner and clear with every use. The witch hazel does a great job of clearing up any blemishes, while the chamomile and lavender in the toner soothe my skin. I use it every day, twice a day and have really noticed a difference in my complexion
I literally love this for me toner are meant for burning sensation all time due to sensitive skin but this one has amazing cooling effect on my skin leaving but feeling smooth and clean.its bit drying but thatbdoes not bother me at all as it prepare skin to absorb moisture or serum really well.definitely recommended
This toner is so drying on my skin, very stripping and I’m almost convinced that this has a high alcohol content (bad for your skin!). It did an okay job of cleaning and refining pores when applied with a cotton pad, but the aftermath was such dry skin and the results were such a temporary band-aid that I don’t see how this could be worth the money or the hassle /: <3
I purchased a small kit called the Origins Skin Starters, which included this product. I have used just about every product on the market to get my oily skin under control. Within 30 minutes to an hour or so after washing my face or applying makeup, my T-zone was oil central. Nothing worked. Astringents, toners, magnifying gels, powders, I tried it all. I loved the Origins Checks and Balances, and I'm trying to convert all of my products to all natural, so I was eager to try out the little kit. Within just two days, my oiliness was drastically reduced. It's now been five days, and my oil is under control. This truly is a balancing product. Couldn't be happier
I got this as a sample when I ordered off origins. After cleaning your face your suppose to sweep this over your face with a cotton ball. I’m not really sure what this is suppose to do but I felt like it kinda irritated my skin it was only for a couple of seconds tho but it made my skin feel really tight after settling
Q & A
How well does this product work with combination skin? Does it work best with a once or twice a day use?

I have combination skin and the beauty consultant recommended I use this toner with the check and balances face wash and ginseng moisturizer. This combination worked really well for my skin, my acne has completely gone away and my skin has been feeling amazing! I would definitely recommend this toner and for you to pair it with the face wash and moisturizer I mentioned earlier.
What skin care type would this be best for? Sensitive skin OK?

An Origins Representative suggested this toner for me, but when I got back to them and added I have sensitive skin, they recommended me a different toner. But I went ahead and tried this anyway and it didn't harm my face. But everyone is different. Just wanted to share with you my experience. :)
Does this give a tingle on your face? What are ingredients?

No, definitely not. You can get similar products for a lot cheaper and without the potential irritating ingredients
How well does this work for skin that has acne, whiteheads, and milia? I need something to help combat skin texture so I can have smooth skin again.
