What Our Customers Say

“A skeptic turned devout believer! I’ve only been using this product for about 1 month, it has done wonders for my skin! I have seen much of my hyperpigmentation (from serious cystic acne years ago) lighten up dramatically. My skin is more radiant and overall clear and even-toned! Not to mention, there is NO irritation or redness for my sensitive skin. I was skeptical to use this product, but I’m SO glad I did.” -Verified Review from Clarissa F.

This toner is a MUST HAVE with the price point & the fact that it leaves my skin feeling like a baby’s! I hate toners that strip my skin/make my face look like a mess when first used. This toner is like magic water, my skin does not like too many products& is very sensitive, but this one is a MUSTTTT TRY. Obsessed!

I am begging you to NEVER stop making this toner!!! It is so gentle, and it makes the biggest difference for my skin of any skincare product I have ever tried. I have extremely sensitive, dry skin, and this is the only toner that has ever worked for me. I tried a different toner while it was out of stock, and my face broke out. Purchased another Cactus Water once it was back in stock - cleared my skin immediately.

Knowing it cleared things right back up after restocking is the ultimate compliment. Your words mean the world, and we’re so glad you’re part of the Freck fam!

Great acidic toner, fabulous for evening out skin tone and hyperpigmentation spots. I dont use daily because i think it would be too rough, but a nice addition to my pm regime 2-3 days a week. Plus, company was uber reaponsive to broken shipment, easily replaced. Many other products from Freck are on my list to try.

Amazing!

This product is one of the few toners that do not irritate and completely dry my skin out. My only wish is that this product came in a “mini” size so I can be able to take it when traveling!

I absolutely love this stuff. I used to buy it at Sephora however they are not carrying it any more. I can’t get enough of it. I see a difference in my face.

Used my Sephora rewards points to get a small sample jar of the Frenck Cactus Water. I have been wanting to try a lactic acid product for my face, but I seemed to find it only as an ingredient in toners with other acids, in body lotions ment for feet not faces, or involving me playing scientist, so I decided to give this a whirl. I was unaware that Freck made skincare, so that added to the curiouit of the experience.

The bottle is beautiful, and it is nice to have something on my counter that doesn't look like Chemistry 101 or cutesy. But it is the content of the bottle that has truly impressed me & why I ended up on this page as I am about to order a full size. Unlike the other toners I have used of late, this one has not caused any unpleasant reaction, nor has it made my skin painfully dry. I don't believe pain or discomfort means that something working. I'll be 55 next week, and I know that to be a fact. The only difference now is I know that the pain in the past was skin barrier being torn to shreds & thankfully after a month, I can say that Catus Water has not done that whatsoever. My skin's texture is smooth, and the pores on my nose are less prominent. Lastly, the Cactus Water plays well with my other products-serums and moisturizer.

Love the water - hate the bottle

I love the toner. Does great things for my skin. I'm leaving three stars because I hate the new bottle. No matter how much I try there is still a little bit of product in the bottom. I I have to use a dropper to get the last of it out. Also, used to be 7 oz. Now 6 oz. Wish they'd go back to the old bottle design.

Wonderful Lactic Acid Formulation

This is something different compared to the type of beauty regimens I've have. I bought this bec of the lactic acid formulation as I have used lactic acid liquid soap for years but can't find it anywhere in the United States. So far, it's great. I enjoy it, I bought 2 bottles.

Epic Lactic Acid Formulation

I normally don't write reviews, but I just have to! I have been looking for a quick & practical facial regimen. I am missing the Lactacyd liquid soap I used to have college days. Fortunately I found this toner thru YouTube reviews. I have always tolerated 'Lactic acid' formulation since the get go. I bought 2 bottles. This toner is a heaven-sent. Lightens my age spots & hyperpigmentation. Thank you!

So good

I never write reviews, but I was online to buy some more of the amazing toner and figured I’d share my thoughts. I’ve tried so many toners and this one I’ll be sticking with. It leaves my face feeling cool, refreshed, and ready for the next steps of my routine. I should also add I have very sensitive, acne prone skin and this hasn’t bothered my skin one bit.

Too Good

I was quite impressed with the Cactus water the first time I purchased it in April 2021.

It took close to two months for my skin to react the the product in a good way.

I saw my skin tone was glowing and helped my adult acne fade away less than a week,
than it usually does when I do break out.

Thank you for making this product.

My FAVORITE product in my regimen!

Everyone needs this product. I have been using it for about a year now and I swear by it. I use it as a second or third cleansing step and it amazes me every time. Not only does it feel refreshing (and like it's working), I can see the excess dirt, oils, etc. on the cotton pad (even after I've already cleansed with at least one cleanser).

I saw a comment about stinging... It does not "sting" but you can definitely feel the chemical exfoliation working. It's the only thing I trust to help heal clogged pores that don't have an opening.

I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Toner for my Night + Day

I wear this toner, in the morning and evening because it's SO GOOD! I have combo skin with very frequent hormonal + cystic acne and have NO issues with this toner. There's no stinging (even on a freshly picked pimple), has a lovely cooling effect, feels like water on the face that turns ever so slightly tacky, and has really balanced out the texture of my skin.
I have been singing its praises ever since buying it, and officially consider this a "must-have" staple skincare item.

Magic treatment water!!!

Already seeing reduction of sum spots. I splash it on as a treatment essence.

Does the job but it stings

Giving this product 3/5 because it is harsher and more irritating than advertised and than most reviews let on . I researched extensively for a Clean Beauty all natural toner that is supposed to be gentler for sensitive skin and was directed to this toner . It does it’s job but it does sting / burn the skin . I bought it once more since it didn’t cause peeling , redness or dryness until I find something better . Not the best for sensitive skin but not the worst either . I would recommend the product to someone with less reactive skin than myself .

Incredible Toner, Packaging Design Issues

Probably the best toner I’ve ever tried - gentle, hydrating, cooling, very effective at refining pores and texture! I love it and will continue to use it for my dehydrated dry/combo skin - However the new packaging (the stout bottle) is so big in diameter that it’s difficult to hold and pour, especially when full. The design is very unergonomic. I would love for Freck to reconsider the bottle design in the future so I don’t have to worry about dropping my glass bottle of liquid gold on the floor while I’m doing my skincare!

I love it but...

I really love Freck’s Cactus Water. My face kept breaking out and this stuff helped to balance it and clear it up. While I am giving this 5 stars and not 4, my only concern is “menthol” being used in this. I believe it’s for a cool or refreshing feel, but I believe menthol can actually sensitize skin or make sensitive skin react. I know it’s not super high on the ingredient list, but if this could be formulated without menthol then this would literally be a dream product.

Fresh Faced, F@ck Yes!

One of the nicest toners/tonics I’ve used. It gently tells my skin the cleansing portion of our routine is done, and it’s time to receive some moisture and nutrients! Tightens my skin nicely, smells fresh and clean, and creates the best primed pallet for the next skincare steps. A must use!

AMAZING but the new packaging sucks.

It takes up so much space. The old packaging was perfectly fine.

All of freck’s products are great if all used together. My skin has never been better.
Making the rich bitch moisturizer a smaller size is KILLING me. Did they do that to afford this fancy new unnecessary packaging?
