The Gotz Bad Ischl Oxygen Facial Tonic is a facial toner hailing from Austria. This toner is specially formulated for those of us with oily, combination, or blemished skin. It claims to balance excessive oiliness, reduce redness, hydrate skin, even skin tone and minimize the appearance of blemishes, blackheads, and large pores. Along with getting rid of blemishes, it's multi-peptide formulation helps stimulate cell regeneration as well as collagen production. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Not only is this toner great for women, but men and teens as well. Men can use it as an after shave, while teens can use it to help fight the oiliness hormones bring. The Oxygen Facial Tonic is a 100% Natural and/or organic skincare product, certified to AT-BIO-301 (Austria Bio Garantie Zertifizierte Bio-Kosmetik). It is vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologist tested for sensitive skin. This toner is also free from mineral oil, parabens, silicones, and PEGs.

How to Use
There are two ways to use this product and to get the best results you will want to use both. The first way is taking cotton pads and spraying them with the toner. Then placing them on areas where you have blemishes, such as blackheads, pimples, and excessive redness. You want to leave the cotton pads on those areas for a few minutes. The second way is holding the bottle at least 6 inches away from your face and misting your entire face. You will want to do both steps after washing your face and before putting anything on your face like lotion. I don't do the steps in any particular order, it just depends on the day. Sometimes if I mist my face first then set the soaked pads on the areas I have blemishes they stick. This way I have my hands to start straightening my hair or do something else.
Does it Work?
Ever since I started using this toner I noticed the redness in my skin has become less noticeable. My face is also not as oily as it used to be. This makes wearing makeup a much better experience for me as it does not want to slide off my face. I am not needing to touch up frequently throughout the day or blot away excess oil. I still get blemishes but I will always get them as they are hormonal and I have just accepted that. My skin is looking more even and brighter, I actually found that I do not need to use my acne face wash as often as before. If I do try to use it as before my face will get red, and dry! That's incredible considering I used to have very oily skin. I believe this product does what it claims and is worth buying. I am keeping this in my skincare routine and will be purchasing it in the future.
