Nice and Soothing Toner
Initially, I didn't expect much from this toner because of how watery and simple it seemed. I was so surprised by how soothing it felt on my skin. I also think it did an amazing job at hydrating my skin and improving my skin barrier. Usually, my skin feels tight and dehydrated after washing my face. But I noticed that after a few days of using this toner, my skin doesn't Show more
This is amazing for my dehydrated skin (due to FA). This saved my skin because due to FA I have to use a gel moisturizer and they are NOT hydrating enough. The texture is super thin and watery but packs a punch. I can do up to three layers.
I repeat, this saved my dehydrated skin.
