Today I am going to do a little product review on Origins United State Balancing Tonic.
This is essentially a toner designed to united the oily and dry areas of your skin into one perfectly balanced face.
It's designed for combination to oily skin (I have oily skin) and comes in a 150ml bottle all for £17. http://www.origins.co.uk/product/3861/11393/Skincare/Category/Toners/United-State/Balancing-tonic/index.tmpl
The first thing to say is that for me this didn't work. It didn't balance out my skin, didn't make my skin any less oily, and to be honest I didn't actually notice any difference when using it! The actual tonic itself has the same consistency and looks like water but with a very chemical smell, much more than other toners I have used.
The bottle does look cute on your dressing table but it is a real pain, the top screws off entirely and there is no stopper underneath, just the opening meaning that when you try and get some product onto a cotton pad it gets a bit messy. This really deterred me from using the product as I felt that I wasted a lot just by the bottle not being designed very well, this was backed up in that I used this much quicker (around a month) than most other toners I have used which have lasted a good 3 months or so.
I do love other Origins products (reviews to follow) but won't be repurchasing this one.
What do you think?
