Individuals with oily skin are well aware of its benefits and drawbacks: such skin can maintain a youthful, radiant appearance for many years, but there is also the issue of enlarged pores, which can look unsightly, as well as excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. In oily skin, bacteria proliferate rapidly, causing inflammation. While it's impossible to physically reduce the genetically determined size of pores, visually minimizing them is entirely feasible.
Experts from the Spanish brand Babe Laboratorios have developed a marvelous purifying toner. This product is designed to regulate and normalize the function of the sebaceous glands, aiding in the reduction of enlarged pores, and also preventing the occurrence of inflammations. Its tasks include daily cleansing, toning, and mattifying oily and acne-prone skin, as well as preventing the formation of acne and blemishes. With regular use of the toner, the size of the pores is noticeably reduced. The product does not over-dry the skin, heals minor blemishes, eliminates oily sheen, and reduces redness.-
Wipe the skin of your neck and face with a cosmetic pad moistened with toner. Then apply the balancing moisturizing cream.

I'm reading reviews about the smell of alcohol, and I don't understand. Maybe it's a question about storage conditions, because I haven't experienced that. As for the toner for oily skin, it's great. It effectively removes oil from my skin, especially in the morning when I moisturize and apply makeup afterwards.
I have been buying this tonic not for the first time, it suits me well. It is very suitable for oily skin types.
I only use this tonic. My skin is oily and problematic. When using the entire range of products, my skin has noticeably improved!
I really liked the tonic. I have been using the entire series. Overall, it has a great effect on problematic skin when used in combination.
I'm purchasing it for the third time, this excellent tonic is perfect for my oily and problematic skin.
I bought this product for my son at the pharmacy. It was a good choice. It effectively performs its functions: mattifying the skin and minimizing pores. In the first week, there seemed to be a slight increase in breakouts, but the skin quickly adapted and now everything is fine.
I didn't like it. This alcohol has a strong scent, which made me think it would dry out breakouts. But, on the contrary, it actually caused more breakouts, probably due to some oily ingredient in its composition.
It is too early to write about the results, but I have never heard such a strong alcohol scent from any other tonic.
It worked for me. I used it for several days before my "girly stuff" days. During these days, my skin becomes more oily than usual and pimples appear. So, with this tonic, everything went smoothly, no pimples appeared.
The best toner for oily skin. It suited my skin perfectly, and after using the gel from this line and the toner, I finally felt how clean and smooth my skin was. The toner effectively dries out breakouts, and I even noticed that my skin became less oily after purchasing this series.
I have ordered it for the third time, with a discount of 280 UAH, but now the price is already 406 UAH. I should have ordered a few more((
Together with other skincare products, it helped me fight constant breakouts and acne. I have very sensitive, oily, and porous skin. The condition of my skin has improved for a year now, no more breakouts like before. It cleanses very well, does not dry out, and slightly tightens the pores. I like the scent.
I am satisfied with this product. I forgot what it's like to have oily shine on my face! Even throughout the day after my morning wash, there is no shine. My work is tough, I'm in a hospital, so I have to wear and remove a mask constantly, and so on, but everything is great!
Terrible toner, just like the entire acne line from this company. The toner is alcohol-based, and when applied to the skin, it stings the eyes. After a month of use, my skin is as greasy as if it were coated in oil. The cream from this line also shines excessively, does not moisturize, and does not even out the skin tone. Breakouts have increased, and it seems like my pores are even more enlarged, although they should be the opposite.
I have been using this tonic for about a month now. I have oily skin with enlarged pores and occasional breakouts, but not significant. I am 35 years old.
So, here's my summary: the tonic is sticky, even with minimal application, whether on wet or dry skin. I cleanse my face with the same brand micellar water and in the morning, I apply SPF 50 with the same babe tone, but the cream tends to slide off. My pores haven't shrunk, but I haven't had any new breakouts either. The tonic has a good composition, so I will continue using it until it runs out. However, next time I will try the alcohol-free tonic, maybe it will suit me better.
The scent is very pleasant. It absorbs into the skin immediately upon application. The skin becomes soft and pleasant to the touch for a long time. The dispenser is convenient. Thank you, MAKEUP, for the fast delivery. As always, the best among the best.
The tonic is absolutely nuclear. When applying it, one must hold their breath because inhaling it is simply impossible, it immediately triggers a cough. It does manage to fulfill its task of shrinking pores, but at what cost... I doubt I will ever purchase it again.
I didn't like it, the skin felt sticky after using the toner..... I didn't like the whole line..... maybe it just didn't suit me, even though I have combination skin.
I have been using the gel from the same series and decided to buy the tonic. The pores have indeed become smaller, it effectively dries out breakouts, but the smell... It makes you start coughing, your eyes water, it's very sharp and pungent. However, this is due to the high concentration of active ingredients, so I won't remove a star.
I have bought this tonic several times, and at first it seemed to be pleasing, but after using it for a long time, I didn't see any results. I have problematic skin with occasional breakouts. In short, I am disappointed!
I was looking for a replacement for La Roche toner and decided to purchase this one. It is just as good! I read reviews and learned that some people are bothered by the smell, but it suited me fine as I am used to it. As for breakouts, I didn't notice any decrease specifically after using this toner, so it's probably the combination of all my skincare routine that is working.
Very spicy, not suitable for sensitive skin, may cause irritation. However, it effectively combats breakouts.
I have ordered for the second time, and the tonic is suitable for my combination skin prone to breakouts. The scent is a bit specific, especially after application, but I have gotten used to it. I also purchased the facial cleanser gel and moisturizer.
The tonic is great, I have been using it for about 3 years. I have tried different manufacturers from time to time, but I always come back to this one. I have combination skin and it suits me perfectly :)
Unfortunately, this product didn't work for me. I have been using it for a month now, and during this time, I have consistently experienced breakouts and rashes. I believe it is because of this product, as I haven't made any other changes to my diet or skincare routine.
I simply love it, and that's it! I highly recommend it. I have combination skin.
This product effectively dries out pimples, but it tends to leave the facial skin excessively oily. Therefore, I use this toner sparingly, only when there is a need to quickly moisturize the skin.
Drying pimples, narrows pores.
The tonic really visibly tightens the pores, and the skin becomes smoother. I've been using it for just over a week. My initial impressions were scary. It has a strong smell, something between alcohol and salicylic acid. Most likely, it's salicylic acid. My skin started tingling, and a few days later, I had a breakout. I wanted to throw it away, but I noticed that my pores really became smaller, and my skin was not oily but smooth. Now, I have gotten used to the smell, and my skin no longer tingles. I will continue using it out of curiosity. There are no new breakouts, so I think my skin is just getting used to it. If your skin is not sensitive, then I don't think you will have the same problems as me.
This toner is great, I use it together with the mattifying cream and cleansing gel from the brand's line for problem skin. I am 100% satisfied with the results. The number of pimples on my face has significantly decreased, blackheads have lightened, and my skin seems less oily as it no longer shines like before. It's wonderful that I noticed these products earlier, now I buy this brand and sincerely recommend it to others.
I recently ordered this tonic and have been using it for two weeks now. It doesn't dry out my skin if I use a cream afterwards. It feels refreshing. As for fighting acne, I can't say much yet, as it's a lengthy process. The only downside is that it has a strong alcohol smell. However, overall, the tonic is decent, just like the rest of the brand's products.
This product has a strong alcohol scent, reminiscent of an old cologne. There has been an increase in breakouts. I will go back to using Madara, even though it is more expensive.
Do not buy this tonic if you do not want new breakouts. I was recommended it by a "fake-cosmetologist" and it caused even more breakouts for me... because it contains alcohol! Now I am dealing with terrible deep acne even in places where there were none before!
The tonic is not bad and it does its job well, but the smell of alcohol puts me off. There are alternatives that are much more pleasant-smelling or even odorless.
This product did not work for my combination skin; it immediately caused redness and skin peeling.
After moving to a different region, I started experiencing skin problems. I suspect it's due to the change in microclimate and water supply. Small annoying red rashes appeared on my cheeks, my skin became oily, pores enlarged, closed comedones appeared on my chin and temples, and occasional pimples emerged. When I ran my fingers across my forehead, I could feel tiny light bumps, as if it were coarse sand. I even started washing my face with drinking water, but there were no changes.
I bought this toner "just in case," along with a mattifying moisturizer from the same series. At first, I didn't like it at all. I thought I wasted my money. My skin would become sticky after applying the toner, and I didn't feel any freshness or cleansing effects. Then I started using the toner to wipe my face after washing it with a gentle scrub for problem skin (from another brand) and used less product on the cotton pad. That's when I started experiencing different sensations and seeing results. Firstly, my forehead cleared up, the annoying stubborn pimples disappeared, the red rashes gradually faded, and the marks from the pimples (which usually take a long time to go away for me) lightened. The pores also almost stopped getting clogged and noticeably shrank in problem areas. I wouldn't say my skin is radiantly healthy, but compared to the horror it was before, it's like night and day.
As for the moisturizer, you need to get used to it. If you use too much, your face ends up looking like it was washed with buttery pancakes. It moisturizes well and also effectively reduces inflammation and flaking, but it doesn't provide much mattifying effect. That's why I didn't use the moisturizer when going out on hot days. In terms of mattifying, a cheap cream (I won't mention the brand) that you can find in any supermarket does a much better job. However, when combined with the toner, this cream performs very well in other aspects.
This is my first proper tonic! I have been using it since spring, in the morning and evening after using the gentle cleansing product from Avene (I also wrote a review about it, it's truly my savior). The tonic effectively cleanses the skin and reduces inflammation overnight if any appears (which often happens due to sweets and dirty hands). Overall, I have problematic skin with blackheads and breakouts, as I mentioned. In short, I really like this tonic and it lasts for a long time. I still have a third of the bottle left since spring. I also bought a moisturizing cream from the same brand for the summer, and it's also good.
Some people mention an unpleasant smell, but I actually like it. It slightly dries out problem areas and the smell dissipates within a few seconds. It doesn't dry out the skin or leave any stickiness. I don't understand why some women complain about it.
I also want to mention that after using this tonic, I apply regular powder. Since I started using it, I no longer feel the need for foundation or other products.
The product has a very strong smell of alcohol and deodorant. It stings the eyes, but does not cause any irritation on the skin. I am afraid to use it to wipe the skin around my eyes, and I do not recommend it to you either. Even just smelling the cotton pad soaked with this tonic makes my eyes water. It helps dry out breakouts, and the skin feels fresher afterwards. It is a controversial product, very controversial. 6/10.
The tonic worked well for me. I noticed a significant reduction in breakouts and an improvement in the overall condition of my skin. This is my second time ordering it, and I highly recommend it. However, it's important to switch it up from time to time as the skin can get used to it.
The tonic is really good! I have been using it for a year and during this time, my problematic skin has improved by 200%. I use it twice a day and it doesn't dry out my skin. I have already bought four bottles and just ordered more. I also tried the cleanser from the same series and the keratolytic fluid (which is amazing). The main thing is not to rush to conclusions after a week. Wait, and it won't disappoint you!
I have purchased this tonic for my husband for the second time, and he really likes it. He has oily skin, so the tonic is perfect for him. It effectively mattifies the skin without drying it out excessively.
I purchased this product about a month ago. The facial cleanser from this series is just your average gel, nothing special. However, the toner is a waste of money - after applying it, my skin becomes greasy and shiny. Cheaper products do a much better job. I'm giving it two stars only for the nice scent of the cosmetics.
I am satisfied with the use of this toner. It has an appropriate price, a large volume, and most importantly, noticeable results. My skin has become less oily, matte, and smooth. I am happy with this toner and can confidently recommend it to anyone who has skin issues.
The only good thing about this product is its scent. However, when I apply it, it stings my face and causes even more breakouts. I have oily combination skin.
I thought that maybe it would work for my husband, who has dry skin, but it didn't. It also started causing breakouts for him.
This product worked wonders for my combination skin. It doesn't dry it out and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Additionally, any inflammation seems to diminish faster.
I'm buying it for the second time now. This product line is absolutely amazing.
I found it suitable for me. I have oily skin and I use it at night. In the morning, there is no greasy shine.
The pores are greatly minimized. I also bought the cream from this brand, and I apply it after using the toner. I wait for 5 minutes and then apply the cream. The results are truly remarkable.
I ordered a tonic and my impressions are mixed. The scent is quite strong, but it smells pleasant. This may not be important to me, but it might not be suitable for someone else. After wiping my face with a cotton pad, I can really feel a deeper cleansing and my skin becomes velvety. It doesn't dry out my skin, even though I have a combination skin type with occasional breakouts and an oily T-zone. So, the effect is there. I have been using the tonic for about a week and during this time, some of my breakouts have worsened. I understand that this may be due to the salicylic acid in the composition, so I'm observing it for now. In any case, everyone's experience is individual - it may work for some and not for others.
The makeup is great, and the package arrived quickly. Thank you for your work.
Good toner, if only it didn't contain alcohol.
The product did not work for my oily skin; it left a sticky feeling and even increased the number of blackheads. However, I will give it a star for its pleasant scent.
I bought this product with the goal of reducing breakouts on my face and minimizing oiliness. I have combination skin, leaning towards oily. Unfortunately, it didn't work well for my face at all. It seems like the tonic actually made my face even shinier throughout the day compared to when I didn't use it. Additionally, it leaves a slight sticky residue, which is even more of a downside than the fact that it contains alcohol (usually lotions contain alcohol). However, I did find a use for it. I had some minor breakouts on my shoulders and décolletage area, and the tonic actually helped with that. Although those areas tend to get oilier faster, the breakouts disappeared. I recommend trying it for those who also have issues on their back, shoulders, and décolletage and for those who found the facial tonic unsuitable, so it doesn't go to waste on the shelf or get thrown away. The delivery process was also problematic, but that's a separate issue.
Pleasant tonic. Eliminates oily shine. Effectively combats small redness on the face. The tonic gives the skin a matte finish. I use it together with the moisturizing matte cream from the same series.
The toner does its job well, regulating the functioning of sebaceous glands, clearing and preventing breakouts, and making pores less noticeable. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, I noticed that there is ALCOHOL in the composition, which I always try to avoid. I have oily, porous, and prone to breakouts skin, so it really needs to be dried out, but at least in the winter period, this toner is too alcohol-based, both in smell and feeling on the skin. Even though it doesn't dry out like other astringents, my face still tries to protect itself from over-drying, and as a result, my skin became much oilier after three days of use... But in the summer period, I think this toner will be a great find.
Became my favorite toner, helps with breakouts.
I have been using this product for two weeks and I must say it is the most effective tonic I have ever had. My skin has noticeably improved, my pores have become less prominent, and there is a noticeable sebum-regulating effect. I am amazed by this product. The scent is subtle and pleasant. It tingles a bit on affected areas, but it is not a big issue. I will definitely buy it again.
I am very satisfied with this toner. It noticeably shrinks enlarged pores and heals inflamed areas. It regulates and normalizes the function of sebaceous glands, reduces inflammation, and does not cause irritation or dryness. It removes oily shine from the face. I highly recommend it!
I bought this toner for my son, who has oily skin. He uses it twice a day. The toner effectively reduces shine and minimizes pores. There has been a significant decrease in breakouts.
I don't know who is saying that tonic has a smell of alcohol, but the tonic actually smells quite pleasant and not harsh. It works well on the skin and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. I definitely recommend it.
This tonic is suitable for oily and problematic skin. It has an antibacterial and antiseptic effect, prevents breakouts, and tightens pores. However, it is not recommended to use it around the eyes. I bought it for my daughter, and it works well. I highly recommend it.
