Suuuuper gentle watery toner with beneficial & mild plant extracts.
I downloaded mine into a spray bottle and use it as a refreshing spritz when my skin needs an extra boost of hydration. Not going to blow your mind but really solid & non-irritating product.
I've got nothing bad to say about this toner, but I'm also unsure that it does anything. I went for it because I was experiencing irritation and fungal reactions from previous products and decided to dial down my routine and switch to simpler formulations with less actives.

Super hydrating, soothing, works well with other products, great to layer under a light moisturizer in the summer. Works great under a lip balm as well. I definitely notice accelerated wound healing (e.g. acne marks) when I use it.
The consistency of this toner is more thicker and the skin feels so smooth and hydrated after using this! Love it!
