RayaRAYA Calendula Astringent with AHA 6 oz (G-206) | Glycolic Facial Toner for Combo and Partially Oily Skin Prone to Break-Outs | Helps Normalize pH and Fight Bacteria | Made with Alpha Hydroxy Acids

I purchased this to replace The Ordinary Brand Glycolic Acid Toner I was using. That can only be used once a day but I wanted something for both am & pm; I also found that one to be too rough feeling on my face. I had recently started using a different Raya product which made me familiar with the brand.Truth be told, I wasn’t crazy about this toner the first few days when I was using cotton squares to apply it. However, once I stopped using those so I can spread it onto my face right from the palm of my hand, I noticed a HUGE difference. My skin drinks it up this way with absolutely no drying, stinging, or burning, & my skin is left incredibly soft. It’s genuinely like spreading satin across my face. I’ve also begun to see brightening effects after about 4 days of using.So, YES, I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS TONER, & THIS BRAND IN GENERAL. I had success with the Active Gel Cleanser first, & this has been a great addition to that. And while I love the free samples included with each order, unfortunately I only really received 2 different products to try, because I got identical samples with each order, & they had a smaller version of the item I already purchased. But, nonetheless, it’s still really nice to receive anything at all, as the products are excellent & I’m sure we can all use an extra mask or moisturizer in our arsenal that allows us to deviate from our normal routine, especially with changing weather. I INTEND TO CONTINUE TO ADD RAYA PRODUCTS AS MY SKIN SEES FIT. The price point is excellent, in my opinion, when considering how long each bottle lasts. I will try to update how long this bottle lasts me, but for now I’m guessing there’s no way I’m getting less than 3 months use out of it, but likely much more.

I love RAYA! I’m completely hooked. I have acne prone skin with redness, sensitivity, and at times cystic acne. It gently cleans pores, evens out skin tone, and exfoliates skin without any burning sensations. It’s a soft moisturizer without leaving you feeling oily! That was huge for my oily skin! I don’t really notice a smell. If there is one, I’d describe it more of a light, natural fragranceWhat also sold me was the ingredients! No parabens! You can recognize the ingredients, which are largely fruits and plant extracts. And, the bottle it comes in doesn’t contain any harmful BPAs, huge plus!I use this on my face, entire back, and top of my chest. So, a small sized bottle lasts me for 2 weeks. I hope that helps you budget for how much to purchaseWithout a second thought, I gave RAYA 5 stars!

I have been using Raya Day Spa products for a few years now and just love all of it. This toner helps my skin look more clear and smooth. I use their moisturizer and vitasilk as well. I also love that they always send free samples of other products to use. This also got here in three days which is faster than anything since I am in Hawaii. Thank you so much!

Great toner! I use when I’m having a breakout

This astringent is gentle on my sensitive skin. I was a little apprehensive about using it because it does have sd alcohol in it. It's way at the bottom of the list though. I use it on my T-zone and use the Ginseng astringent everywhere else. Both are impressive products and very kind to your skin. I did have a break out issue on my skin the first week I used these. But that has totally cleared up within a week! My skin feels cleaner and softer, and more balanced.

Been going to Raya’s for years and using their products for years (mom has been using their products for over 30 years!). Absolutely phenomenal products. They make their own products (I believe her husband is a biochemist). You can tell that you are receiving quality ingredients. Definitely worth a try.They understand that there are more than 4 skin types in this world (sensitive, normal, oily or dry) and will provide you with products for your SPECIFIC skin type.

Just received my third reorder. This toner has been a great addition to my evening regimen. I gently apply with a cotton ball after cleansing with cold cream and a warm washcloth. I let the toner dry completely before applying night cream. I am over 50 with mature skin and this toner helps keep my complexion gently exfoliated so my cream absorbs well and the tone of my skin even. Will continue to use.

I am very sensitive to smells and this astringent has a yucky smell!! Sorry Raya. I've ordered a ton of stuff from you! This is the ONLY one I didnt like!!
