It feels nice on my skin, very gentle and hydrating. I like how it doesn't have fragrance. It does have a subtly medicine smell but I think that's because of the ingredients, it's soothing and not too overpowering. This toner leaves my skin glowy the next morning whenever I use it the night before. I use this everyday since my skin got accustomed to it, used to only use it once a week, every week, Show more
A staple in my skin care routine that I stock up on! My ace scaring and residual red acne marks have overall brightened over time. I noticed specifically this when i introduced it to my skin care routine made a hugeee difference in the severity of my breakouts and the quickness of the fading of my acne marks! Make sure you use sunscreen though because i heard some people say it makes blemishes Show more

Minimal and fantastic. A great product to add to a multi-step routine without overloading the skin, like I’ve found other products do. Non-irritating too, which is a problem I’ve had with other toners. I splash this directly into cupped hands and apply straight to the skin, so I don’t waste any. It’s a lovely product that produces tangible calming benefits, elevating the quality of the skin.
Gentle, refreshing. Minimal ingredients, great for acne-prone and sensitive skin types. My new favorite toner.
