Overview
An alcohol-free facial toner from PCA Skin formulated with lactic and citric acids plus aloe vera, sized at 7 fl oz and aimed at oily skin, reducing the appearance of pores and acne.
PCA Skin's own description frames this as a botanical blend meant to reduce excess oil and tighten the look of pores while calming skin, with a suggested use of applying it daily or as needed after cleansing, before a moisturizer or SPF. It is paraben free and fragrance free, which matters for oily or acne-prone skin that reacts to added fragrance.
- Lactic and citric acid toner
- Alcohol-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free
- Formulated for oily skin
- 7 fl oz, daily or as-needed use
Who it's for
People with oily skin looking for an alcohol-free toner to follow cleansing and precede moisturizer or SPF. It is not aimed at dry or sensitive skin types, since the listing specifies oily skin.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Alcohol-free formula with lactic and citric acids
- Paraben free and fragrance free
- Includes aloe vera to calm skin during use
- Formulated specifically for oily skin, not a universal toner
- 7 fl oz size, no smaller trial option in this listing
Performance notes
Lactic and citric acids provide the exfoliating action behind the pore and acne appearance claims, while aloe vera is included to calm skin during that process. PCA Skin positions it as alcohol-free, avoiding the drying effect that alcohol-based toners can have even on oily skin.
