Here's what our community thinks
Biossance Squalane + BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner 27 ingredients
This was too harsh of an astringent for my sensitive dry face, nobody needs so many fragrant plant oil extracts with chemical exfoliants, but it found a new purpose exfoliating on and behind my ears, on the kp bumps on my arms, and on ingrown hairs on my bikini line.
