Summary
Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner is a nice refreshing item that can be used as a thermal water and as a toner-cleanser. It has a very convenient dispenser that creates a fine mist upon spraying and allows for economic use of the substance. The toner has a distinct lavender scent that may be overpowering for some, but I've found it OK (and it is not lasting). The item is a bit pricey and isn't particularly magical in terms of regular things that similar product does, so I can recommend trying it, but will not praise its uniqueness.

I adore this toner from Elemis the fragrance is stunning! This toner is specifically designed for combination to normal skins and it maintains the natural ph balance of your skin so it is never drying or irritating. The toner is a light green lotion that has a beautiful fragrance of lavender and a subtle floral. The product contains no chemicals, alcohol detergents that can irritate sensitive skin. After cleansing you simply sweep across the skin with cotton pads and your skin feels instantly cooled, refreshed, calmed with an instant toned feel. It is remarkable at closing and reducing open pores. This product has never dried out my skin or caused any breakouts and after use your face feels hydrated and soft. You only need a tiny amount of toner for the whole face so the big bottle is excellent value for a salon grade product.
If you want a high quality alcohol free toner that is refreshing on the skin I cannot recommend this highly enough!
