Reviews

Dark spot targeting toner

"I like this toner a lot! I started using this from a sample bottle and had to buy a full size! Super soothing and does not irritate skin or cause acne. I think my dark spots are slowly but surely getting less noticeable!"

— Marie T. (4/5)

Powerful juice in a little bottle!

"I got this on a rec from a friend who went through her skin journey solely using Farman products. Long ago I received the face moisturizer as part of a subscription and fell in love but never researched where it came from. Anyhow I decided to try out farmacy again and with intention. Let me tell you this little product has worked amazingly well on my skin and it’s radiant and getting ready for this summer weather. I love that you can do trial sizes and they are enough for you to actually trial the product long enough to see if it works well for you or not."

— Lynn M. (5/5)

love the bottle, but product is sticky

"I see some improvement in brightening, and I LOVE the glass bottle. But I've never had a toner that felt sticky. I have to allow extra time for it to dry before I can do serums, etc. Not sure if I will repurchase due to the sticky factor. Otherwise, I love Farmacy products"

— KJ (3/5)

"I have never had a regular skin routine, until recently when I started using Farmacy brand. I am now regularly cleaning, with the foam cleanser and the Brighten UP Toner and love how my skin looks and feels. I wasn't sure about using a toner because any other one that I had tried seemed to dry out my skin and make it look tight. Someone told me last night that I looked like I was aging in reverse. Love all of your products and look forward to the future compliments."

— Sandra H. (5/5)

Pretty good stuff

"I've only used this for less than a month and not even daily. But I do like the results after I wash my face in the morning. Will continue to use for a brighter complexion"

— Charla E. (5/5)

Love this product

"I’ve been trying to get rid of my dark spots for over year and now that I’ve switched to using this toner, I’m finally seeing progress."

— Iesha B. (5/5)

Love this product!!

"I bought this product to help with dark spots on my face…. I do notice a difference in less than 2 weeks. The nice thing is doesn’t irritate my skin. I definitely will order this again!!!"

— Patricia H. (5/5)

Actually brightens skin

"I use deep sweep in the morning and brighten up at night. This may seem backwards to some but it works for me. This toner does remove dark spots, it works best with the vitamin c for me."

— Ashley P. (5/5)

Great product

"I just started using this line and I absolutely love it. It’s clean and effective and I love it."

— Suzanne H. (5/5)

Works great!

"This toner actually works with brightening your skin. I have freckles and sun spots and this product diminishes those. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and clean."

— Jacklyn H. (5/5)
