TreeActiv Balancing Herbal Toner 4 oz

Overview

TreeActiv's herbal toner is an alcohol-free spray combining witch hazel, rose water, clary sage and tea tree with salicylic acid, targeting oily, acne-prone skin in a 4 fl oz bottle for men, women and teens.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid known for cutting through oil and unclogging pores, paired here with witch hazel's traditional use as an astringent. Being alcohol-free is worth noting since many astringent toners lean on alcohol for oil control, which can also dry out skin; this formula aims for the oil-control effect without that trade-off.

• Salicylic acid and tea tree active ingredients
• Alcohol-free formula
• Witch hazel, rose water and clary sage blend
• 4 fl oz spray bottle

Who it's for

Suited to people with oily or acne-prone skin who want a spray-on astringent toner without alcohol. Less useful for anyone with dry or already-sensitive skin, since salicylic acid can still be drying with frequent use.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Salicylic acid works by dissolving the bonds holding dead skin cells together inside pores, which is the primary mechanism behind the acne and oiliness claims, with witch hazel and tea tree adding astringent and cleansing support.
