My Views on Clarins Toning Lotion with Iris for combination or oily skin:

I'm very particular about skin care products off late, and while I was looking for a good toner for my oily skin. And this toner is probably the best I have ever used. This toner does not over dry my skin or make it stretchy. It's water like toner which is green in color and has a strong fragrance but that is totally okay.  

This includes quite good ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, witch hazel water, guajava fruit extract, iris root extract. 

Most of the time the toners used to make my skin too dry and stretched. But this is soooo good, does not make my skin greasy at all leaves my matte in just few seconds. I use this 2 times a day and follow it up with a moisturiser.  Works well in humid weather too!! This toner did not break out but it did not do much on my open pores. My skin feels better after I have started using this.

The packing is not fancy, but then its a sturdy bottle ideal for travel.

Pros:

1. Gentle toner, that leaves the skin smooth and soft.
2. Has no alcohol, so does not make my skin dry or stretchy.
3. Good ingredients.
4. Refreshing fragrance.
5. Has glycerin but does not make my skin greasy.

Cons:

Does nothing to minimize pores.

Recommendation:

This is a very gentle toner meant for combination or oily skin. Leaves the skin soft, hydrated and moisturised. A very good alcohol-free toner.
