Lately my face has been getting a bit oily from the recirculated air and heat in the office. This toner was a bit pricey, but if it solved my oily issue it was worth a try.
This toner was the type that had glittery mattifying powder submerged at the bottom so I had to gently rock the bottle to combine the two. The instructions suggested that the tonic should be dispensed onto a makeup cotton pad used to gently sweep over the face and neck; however, since this stuff was too expensive to waste on a cotton pad, I poured some on my hand and patted it on my face. It was easily absorbed, but the toner contained a very alcoholic scent. Whenever toners contain alcohol they tend to be a bit drying on the skin, but this one did not make my skin too dry and it also left a slight shimmer. I tested this without putting on anything else just to see how well it mattified my skin, but it only lasted until noon and my t-zone started to get shiny.
La Mer website claims:
Reduces excess oil
The Oil Absorbing Tonic is infused with
soothing algae extracts and significantly reduces excess sebum to
rejuvenate and rebalance skin. The Miracle Broth™ infuses skin with
precious nutrients, immersing it in moisture and energy.

Repurchase: No. Given the cost and the effectiveness, I can find something else. The part that bothered me the most was where the instructions read: "CAUTION: Flammable until dry. Do not use near heat or flame." Yikes, how much alcohol is in this toner?
