I used it for 2 months and it felt really nice! I did find out I have fungal acne and this contributed to it, otherwise it was nice and hydrating

reallllly tried to love this product as my ever first fa safe hydrating toner but it caused me to break out with tiny bumps all over my face. i thought it was my skin reacting to something else so i gave it a few more weeks but the bumps persisted. upon discontinuing usage, the bumps disappeared so safe to say this toner was the culprit
