FRESH FACE!

I love that my skin is so clean after I use this. I have found when I use it not only before I put my make-up on I use it after I wash my face at the end of the day too. It is such a great feeling to such a fresh face!

worth trying

I did enjoy this toner, sometimes i prefer a mist so I put some in a little spray bottle so I was able to throw in my handbag. Very mild formula.

Will be on repeat

I really like this toner. It's fragrance free and truly does not have any chemical smell, as with some unscented products. Removes any lingering residue after washing and does not dry out skin. Leaves my face feeling fresh and dewy.

Skin feels cleaner after using

It’s hard to say how much of a difference using this toner makes, but it feels good on my sensitive skin and has not caused any irritation. Although I double cleanse at night, makeup and sunscreen cling to my skin and I use a toner to make sure I have gotten it all off. My skin seems noticeably cleaner after using this product than others that I have tried.

Skin Recovery Essence toner

I do like using this facial toner. Right after a morning shower, I use my hands to pat it all over my face & neck. It really does calm & refresh my skin. Always feels great.

Good stuff!

I got this for my sensitive dry skin. While there hasn't been a huge dramatic turnaround, I definitely think it's helped my face feel more hydrated and helped my moisturizer work better. It also hasn't caused any breakout or irritation which is somewhat rare with my face. I also really appreciate the lack of scent and how soothing it is when applying.

EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner

Love this product. Only using at night but I can already see difference. Skin texture is much improved - feels hydrated and silky. I use before serums and night cream. Outstanding product!!!

I love ALL of my Elta MD products. I give them all 5 stars! I first started out with the 50 Tinted Face Sunscreen probably 5 years ago. Now I have eye cream, AM Therapy, Foam wash, toner, PM night cream….just to name a few!!

Great Toner for Sensitive Skin

I was having drier skin during the winter months once to furnace was on more often. Switching to the Elta Skin Toner was a game changer for me. I have never switched back. I recommend it for those w/aging or sensitive skin. Be kind to yourself!

Best Toner!

I’ve tried many toners over the years and they’ve always been extremely irritating and drying to my skin. This one removes all the excess dirt on the cotton as well as hydrate the skin after each use. Love wearing it and using it before I put on any type of moisturizer. Feels very cool and refreshing at the end of the day and removes all access make up. Highly recommend! I love all EltaMD products.

Skincare Routine Staple

It is so hard to find a toner that is hydrating, but does not irritate acne prone skin. This does just that. I have used so many bottles of this toner; it's so soothing and refreshing. Our collagen production decreases as we age, so this has helped minimize/slow down that for me. The toner contains three amino acids. It contains Arginine, which is a natural moisturizing factor. Also Taurine, which maintains skin homeostasis and helps skin recover from stress. Also Glycine, which helps prevent tissue breakdown and is a key amino acid in collagen. I absolutely love this product and I hope they never change it.

Not for me

Was honestly hoping this would do wonders for my skin. I had another toner I used that would take away any tightness after I would wash my face and loved it. This however did not do that, couldn't feel a difference after I put it on my skin. Unfortunately, will be returning

Just not a fan

I didn't get any benefits for this product. After a few days of using is my skin starting feeling dryer. My skin felt worse using this. After a few days of stopping Skin Recovery my dryness was gone.

Soothing and safe!

I have been using this toner for years. I have reactive skin to most skincare products. Luckily, I have found some products for anti-aging that help my skin, and this is one of them. I love the fact that it detoxes my skin but supports my skin barrier. I love how it helps remove anything leftover after cleanses leaving my skin super comfortable and hydrated. Definitely try it!
