i'm in a huge toner dilemma too. I have a dry skin and when i did a dermoanalysis (in a mall.. lol.. for free) they told me to go ahead and use a toner to nourish my skin better. But I hear so many contradictory oppinions. Some say it's good for my skin, some say it will make it even drier. I went ahead and bought the Sea Weeds toner from the body shop, which i definitely recommend to those with oily/combination skin.. really, you'll be sebum free in no time. It's really a strong toner. I ended up giving it away.. now I have this nivea lotion.. which is nice, actually.. I havent noticed any difference. I feel my skin cleaner and more clear though, which is fine. Now I want to try the Clinique clarifying lotion and moisture spray, which Critty recommended, and I hope my skin will stop looking so dull..

by the way, my friend has an oily skin and she's truly delighted with the Hyseac products, from Uriage. And I've heard various people being happy with it.. And also, a thermal water with more minerals could help you out.. try Uriage or Vichy, 'cause they have more minerals than Avene or.. others, so they are more suitable for oily/combination skins.
