A review of Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting Toner THE PACKAGING... 150ml of this toner is packaged in a transparent plastic cylindrical bottle with a silver coloured metal screw cap lid. The product is easily recognisable with the boots Botanics green plant logo on a sticker label covering the front of the bottle. Written in gold green print is "Pore Perfecting Toner" giving a straightforward explanation of what the product should do. Below this ...
...in mind that with a boots advantage card you do get the extra points. Boots also generally give you money off vouchers when you spend £5, £10, £15 and so on. So maybe buy this product when you are also buying other things and save on vouchers! Other toners I have used which have been cheaper than this, for example, boots fragrance free £1.99 toner and simple toner at £1.99 were both useless. So paying £1 extra for this botanics one is definitely ... Read review

Advantages: Alcohol-free, decent value for money
Disadvantages: Leaves skin greasy, screw-top lid, smell

...to look at alternatives. The Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting range seemed to offer products suited for slightly more mature skin still suffering from teenage problems, and I decided to give it a go. Pleased with the performance of a couple of its products, I decided to get the matching toner. Until I tried this product, I was used to alcohol-based toners and toner/cleanser 2-in-1s. Alcohol, however, can irritate the skin and is best avoided. The ...
...and that's not the only way in which it differs from mainstream toners. First of all, the container is cylindrical and topped by a screw-cap rather than a flip-top.

Advantages: Gets rid of large pores and blackheads, cheap, smells nice
Disadvantages: None!

...toner ran out (a disastrous Boots one) and I had to buy a new one! Off I went to Boots, and i had a look around the Botanics section to see if any caught my eye. This little badboy did. With something like Amazonian clay extract and rosemary extract, how could I argue? And for £2.99? I was running to buy it! To be honest, it takes a couple of weeks to really make a noticeable change, but boy, does it make a change! Use it both morning and night ...
...blackheads around my nose and forehead had shrunk to almost nothing!! I was delighted! The only thing is, you have to carry on using it to keep other large pores from reforming and so spots etc are kept at bay, but for £2.99 its a very cheap and fantastic skin routine in my opinion! Perfect for those with oversized pores and/or blackheads or oily skin as it also targets shine problems too! Brilliant! ... Read review

Advantages: Hydrates the skin, doesnt clog pores, smells nice, light
