Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This toner combines witch hazel with glycolic acid, licorice and niacinamide, which is a more active lineup than a typical witch hazel toner. It is marketed to exfoliate, clarify clogged pores, and support the appearance of a more even, brighter looking complexion, along with reducing the look of redness. Despite the witch hazel base, the formula is fragrance free and alcohol free, which is worth noting since many witch hazel toners lean on alcohol.

At 4.5 fluid ounces, the unscented liquid is suited to combination, dry, normal and oily skin, and it is also free of sulfates and parabens. The blend of an alpha hydroxy acid with niacinamide and licorice points to a toner meant to do more than simple cleansing, aiming at both texture and the look of tone.

With a 4.5 star average across 575 ratings, this formula has earned solid trust. As of this review, the listing shows it as temporarily out of stock, and recent purchase activity is reported at zero, so it is worth checking current availability or looking at other Urban Skin Rx toners in the meantime.

Performance notes

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that works at the skin's surface to support smoother texture, while niacinamide is included to support the appearance of a more even tone and calmer looking skin. Licorice is a botanical often used alongside brightening formulas. Combined with an alcohol free, witch hazel base, this points to a toner built to feel less drying than a classic astringent while still being an active, multi ingredient formula.

What buyers say

A 4.5 star average across 575 ratings is a solid, consistent score. The zero recent purchase count paired with its temporarily out of stock status suggests an inventory gap right now rather than declining interest from buyers.
