- Q
What is this supposed to smell like? I'm obsessed with Murad products, so I decided to buy this toner. The reviews say it smells great and citrus like. Mine smells like chemicals, almost like I'm putting whiskey on my face. It gave me an immediate headache. Did I get an expired bottle maybe? I intend on shipping back if this is not normal?
- Asked by Tanya
- Official Answer By MuradThat is not normal. It should be a light citrus.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If I use this with the other products in this line (cleanser, serum, moisturizer), in what order would I use this toner? What is the recommended process?
- Asked by Kay
- Official Answer By MuradOne you cleanse your skin and pat dry, you then would apply the toner and allow it to absorb. Follow with your treatment and moisturizer.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I currently have this as a spray but cannot find it now. Are you replacing the spray with a cotton ball option?

- Q
What is the difference between Essential-C toner and the Hydrating toner?
- Asked by Jan
- Official Answer By MuradThe Hydrating Toner helps to rebalance and hydrate the skin while using peach, chamomile and cucumber extracts to calm and soothe. Lecithin aids in hydration and also the protection of the individual cells. A powerful blends of vitamins C, E and grapeseed extract protect the skin from free radical damage. The Essential C Toner contains alanine, proline and lysine along with other amino acids help to condition the skin while restoring balance and fighting free radical damage. Skin is soothed with bitter orange and coneflower extract and sodium PCA, a natural skin moisturizer, helps prevent dehydration.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What is the percentage of Vitamin C in your Vitamin C toner?
- Asked by Kathy
- Official Answer By MuradFirst let me start by stating that we disclose the percentage of an ingredient only when it is an “active ingredient” in other words, an OTC (over-the-counter), FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approved ingredient. Here at Murad, as part of our Corporate policy, we do not disclose percentages in our high performance formulations as this information is considered proprietary. What I can share with you is that Dr. Murad creates formulas based on a result not a percentage. Our products are designed to treat a specific concern within the skin, keeping in mind our Whole-Person Health approach.Was this answer helpful to you

Nice smell!
This item has a nice refreshing smell that disappears after it dries. I have oily skin with a few fines lines and uneven skin tone. I was not sure if I should try this product or the clarfying toner but I am glad I picked this one. It has made my skin softer, I also feel this product is gentle but e...

It's Okay
I'm not blown away by this toner. I got it because it's alcohol-free, but the spray top is really annoying. I usually put toners on a cotton ball, which is better for wiping away impurities, and this just kind of sits on the skin. Either that, or I spray it onto a cotton ball, and it wastes some of ...

Vitamin C toner has helped my skin.
I used to love this product...
I have gotten this product probably 3-4 times and it's always been pretty amazing for my skin. It didn't cause any dryness or irritation. I went back to Ulta recently to buy another one and when I put it on my face, my face burned and not the lowkey tingling sensation that usually occurs. I don't know if they put something new in the formula or my skin just had a reaction but I'm probably going to have to switch my toner now.
Caused terrible acne
Product was easy to apply and used for almost a month and I kept noticing new acne bumps and didn't think it was this product, however, I now realize it is and my acne is out of control and in places that I never got acne before. Should've stopped using it as soon as I noticing the tiny white heads.
Not For Me :(
I was really excited to try this new toner after I ran out of my Lush Tea Tree Water - I'm one of those folks that can never stick to one product since there are so many options out there! Unfortunately, this was not the one. My main complaint is that I've been breaking out like crazy since starting to use it. Not deep acne, but tons of tiny whiteheads all over. I also found that the product stung slightly upon application, and while I appreciate the citrusy smell, it was too chemically for my liking. Hoping I can return this as it wasn't cheap.
Had high expectations but ...
I wanted to love this product since I also have the dark circle corrector and vitamin C brightening serum which have worked beautifully for my skin but once I started using this toner I began to get little bumps all over my cheeks and forehead. After a couple of days I stopped using this toner and bought a different one and my skin started to clear up. I do have somewhat sensitive and oily skin, so I would just be careful with this one for those with sensitive skin!
