I never go without this! I've been using this for years and always keep this stocked up. I even carry a travel size with me if I need to feel refreshed. Feels good when I'm feeling a bit dry or for a little refresh in the heat. 🫶

If you have oily skin this is a great toner. It didn't feel moisturizing enough for me, so I just use it on summer days. I won't be repurchasing but just for that exact reason, otherwise it's a great product.
Absorbs somewhat quickly into the skin, leaving a refreshing sensation. Has no smell.
