Horoscope: 5 points are very good!

I'd like to leave a candid review of Clears' Supple Presentation Unsent Toner.

First of all, one of the biggest advantages of this toner is that it has no scent. This product was perfect for me with scent-sensitive skin. I was able to use it without any burden on my skin even though I didn't have a strong scent like other products.
