I wanted to love this but I believe citric acid is a risk for those with sensitive skin. I'm not sure why this product would contain citric acid and also gear towards sensitive skin. Overall, not a fan due to the irritation it causes. It's defiantly a nice toner otherwise for those who aren't as sensitive prone! It does clean the skin well and doesn’t leave the skin feeling dry.
Loved the smell and consistency, but I hated the design of the bottle. The lid made it hard to work with due to the consistency of the toner. My skin looked brighter after consistent use, but I ultimately decided not to repurchase due to the lid.

Feels nice and does not irritate sensitive skin
I've been using this toner for about six months in the mornings. Overall I like it. When my skin feels rough after I cleanse it I swab the toner over my face and my skin feels noticably smoother.
I have combination skin that is prone to clogged pores and cystic acne. The toner goes on easily, has a light fruity fragrance and is a pretty creamy Show more
