Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

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. This is just that however, innocuous.
It's really watery and feels like nothing on the skin. It can be refreshing on a hot day (maybe it'd be nice in a mist bottle) and I haven't experienced any pilling when wearing makeup.
However, after almost a month of usage, I think (if still sticking to simpler formulations) I would rather go for something like One Thing's herbal toner, especially the centella one, I feel like that made more of a difference in my skin while still being non-irritating.

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.

Amazing Hyaluronic Acid Toner with several types of molecules. Yet, also Green Tea and Cica for Acne Prone skin. Overall great all-in-one toner. No need for seperate hyaluronic acid serum. Great to apply to damp/wet skin (not dry).
