Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner For Sensitive Skin

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

I really wanted to love this, especially since it’s an affordable alternative to Guerlain’s Abeille Royale line and contains some great ingredients. At first, it made my skin look and feel nice, but the longer I used it, the more I noticed small pimples appearing. Thankfully, the breakout calmed down about a week after I stopped using it.
