Skin Recovery Essence Hydrating Face Toner, Alcohol-Free, 7.3 oz | Hydrates Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin, Removes Impurities, Fragrance-Free, Dermatologist-Recommended

I have been using Elta MD products for over a decade now. This is a daily staple in my skin care routine that I can not live without. Quality grade products and a reputation for clean and protective skin care. It gives you that astringent vibe without the burning feeling we had back in the 80's. Soft and cool on your skin and a clean finish.

I’m really glad I gave this one a second chance. I bought it, used it twice, decided I didn’t like the way it coated my face, and shoved it into a corner for about a month. On a whim, I tried it again one day after a shower. What I noticed is that the light coating it provides made my moisturizer glide on like silk. As the day goes on, my face stays looking hydrated. So, I’ve been using it ever since for about two months. Now I feel like my routine would be incomplete without it. You could, if you have oilier skin, use this as your only moisturizer in a pinch. I like that it primes my face so beautifully, even though I don’t wear makeup. It makes the moisturizer glide and settle nicely. I *think* it also creates a sort of plump look to the skin. I am not sure that lessens scars or deals with discoloration yet. I do know, however, that it makes my skin look dewy and refreshed. I’ve experienced no irritable or breakouts. My skin is hyper-sensitive, it reacts to fragrances even before they touch my skin. Sometimes it burns slightly upon application, but it does not irritate or damage the skin in any way. It creates a very, very light coating on the face. But I have applied topical acne medication in spots over it and it didn’t prevent the treatment from penetrating. It plays well with niacinamide, which is in my la Roche Posay moisturizer, BP, and BHAs. I wrote elta asking if I could apply it before applying my retinoid at night. They said they don’t know and told me to consult my derm. Therefore, I only use it in daytime, after my morning cleansing. I would like to try it as a buffer to my Tazorac at night, but until my derm says it’s okay, I won’t. I think toners are absolutely necessary when you live in a hard water area like I do. But it has taken me years to find one that doesn’t break me out. Prior to this, I used rose water occasionally or no toner at all. I’m actually terrified elta will stop making this. Above all, its main benefit is that it removes residue from hard water and facial cleanser and restores the ph balance. That is all you should expect of a toner. But the added benefits listed above make this a keeper.

I have tried so many skincare brands, but EltaMD is hands down my favorite! Their products are gentle, effective, and make my skin feel amazing every single day. I use them religiously, and my skin has never looked better—hydrated, smooth, and glowing! ✨ My Must-Haves: ✔️ EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser—Leaves my skin feeling fresh without stripping it. ✔️ EltaMD AM Therapy Moisturizer—Lightweight yet super hydrating, perfect under makeup. ✔️ EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46—The BEST sunscreen ever! No white cast, non-greasy, and great for sensitive skin. ✔️ EltaMD PM Therapy Moisturizer—So soothing and helps my skin feel plump overnight.

Gentle, Hydrating & Perfect for Sensitive Skin. I’ve tried many toners, but the EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Face Toner truly stands out. It’s lightweight, non-sticky, and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin refreshed and hydrated. Best of all, it’s alcohol-free, so it doesn’t dry out or irritate my sensitive skin. After a few weeks of use, my redness has calmed down, breakouts are less frequent, and my skin feels smoother overall. It layers perfectly under sunscreen or makeup, and the 7.3 oz bottle lasts a long time. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a gentle, hydrating toner that’s safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Definitely a product I’ll repurchase! This is my second bottle.

Love elta sunscreen, figured i would try the toner (been in dermatologist offices all my life, patient) it doesn’t irritate my skin, the one annoying thing is the packaging all the color and wording has already come off

Loove this toner, my face has no been this clear and soft in a very long time (I obviously get some break outs here and there) ! Yes it’s pricy but definitely worth it!

It's been a challenge to find a toner that's gentle on sensitive skin, while also being effective at clearing out pores, but after spending hundreds of $ to find the right one - the EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Face Toner is my new "holy grail" toner. Given how long a bottle lasts, the price is pretty reasonable, and given that I live in a dry, cold climate, I really appreciate the hydrating formula.

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely! I’ve used this product for several years. I noticed the difference in days. Don’t hesitate to purchase. Your skin will thank you.
