I have been using this for 2 weeks and it has made HUGE difference for me. This is the most hydrating toner i have ever tried, my skin looks smoother and hydrates under make up really well. It has a beautiful texture - watery but with a luxurious slip. Straight forward product that does what it claims. As someone with sensitive skin who can’t use centella or niacinamide, this has been a godsend. Show more
