Reviews
My favorite toner
"Then why 3 stars? I've been buying the value size of the clarifying cleanser and toner for years. . . They've sadly been discontinued. So, the product is great, but the price makes me cry. . . But if you aren't trying to stretch a buck? Definitely recommend. . ."
Good go-to over witch hazel
"Murad Clarifying Toner surprised me in a good way. I usually just use basic witch hazel, but this feels like a definite step up. The scent is pleasant and clean without being overpowering, and it leaves my skin feeling really fresh afterward. I’ve also noticed my pores looking tighter and my skin feeling cleaner overall after using it regularly. Feels more polished and refreshing than standard toner products I’ve tried before."
Clarifying Toner
"This product is great! Keeps my skin firm and glowing."
Toner
"This product has helped my skin so much in a short time. My skin is significantly less oily and clearer."
Lightweight and refreshing
"Love the lightweight feeling this leaves my skin after my routine. Helps keep my skin looking fresh and clean!"
Absolutely a staple!
"This clarifying toner has become a year-round staple for me. I've got normal, sometimes finicky, skin prone to the occasional breakout. Using this (esp in the T-zone) has both remedied, and prevented, problematic pores and breakouts. Moreover, it does so without drying our or damaging my skin barrier! Highly recommended!"
"Love"
Helped so much and quickly too
"Was using Paula’s choice SA exfoliant for years and didn’t see much difference but the difference with this product was almost overwhelming. I will say it can be a bit harsh at first so don’t go in with too much or use every night and make sure you have a good moisturizer to pair with it."
Works amazingly well!
"Absolutely one of the best brands you can EVER buy! I bought this for my father and it absolutely took his face from extremely oily to normal. No more changing his pillowcases every single day & ruining some of them from his exorbitant facial oil! He is so happy & it was well worth spending the money on!"
Q&A
- Can I use this before my retinol serum at night?
- Yes, you can ideed.
- In addition to using on my face, can i also use this on my body (chest, back, etc)?
- Yes, you can however we do have the Clarifying Body Spray as well.
- How should I use this in combination with the Clarifying Cleanser? Do I apply them both at the same time on damp face or do I apply clarifying cleanser first on damp skin, rinse, then apply the toner, then rinse?
- What you want to do is cleanse your skin and then pat dry. Apply the toner with a cotton pad and allow to absorb. Then follow with your treatment and finally your moisturizer/SPF.
- Is there a reason this does not come in a spray bottle? Can I transfer this to a spray bottle and use it?
- The toner contains salicylic acid and the idea is that if you were to put a spray top on it, air can get to the formula and degrade its efficacy.
- The ingredient spotlight says this product includes algae extract to reduce shine, but algae extract is a 5 on the comedogenic scale, so how can this be good for acne prone skin? I also don't see algae extract on the full list of ingredients...is it actually in the product, and if so, why is it advertised as non-comedogenic for acne-prone skin?
- There is algae in the toner. It is Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract. The algae extracts used in skincare are actually highly processed – this means that the beneficial components are retained and concentrated and all other components are removed. The Clarifying Toner is great for those with acne.
