Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Toner - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2025)

Overall, this toner is great. It's not at all harsh or drying on my skin like so many other toners. It also has a pleasant smell. It's a good all-around toner; however, I have not noticed a...

This brightens my acne scars! They started off as dark, but I've noticed how lighter they've gotten. I'm very satisfied with this product. Plus, it smells so much more better than their other...

I almost used the bottle up so I can definitely say now that this is a miss for me. In time, the alcohol in this toner made my t-zone oilier and the smell of alcohol became so overwhelming I...

I haven't really used toners other than this one. so I can't compare this to anything else. I'm on my 3rd or 4th bottle. but it works, it gets the last dregs of makeup off after a makeup wipe and...

I finished an entire bottle of this. It's not cheap here in Canada but no regrets when buying it. It does have AHA which means you just have to wear sunscreen since youre more sensitive to the sun....

I love this toner!! I bought it because of my large pores. Just a week after I started using it in the morning and evening I can see such good results: my pores are much smaller and my skin feels...

This is brilliant at fading acne scars and keeping skin balanced, as long as you don't follow the instructions on the bottle!I agree with everybody who says this product is too drying and...

This is a great toner! Not drying, has alpha hydroxy acid (wish I knew the %) and does indeed seem to brighten. It doesn't dry my skin out either.

I stumbled upon this gem one day after I was aimlessly roaming the aisles of Target. I am so happy I found this! Boot’s Skin Brightening Toner is wonderful. It takes off every last bit of cleanser,...

A non-spectacular toner -- it gets the job done and smells terrific, but I'm not sure what sets it apart from other similar products. I love the bottle, but I'm not sure it's doing anything great...
