So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

I was very skeptical about this product but once I tried this, all acne gone, eczema gone. Like two days of use I actually saw a difference. Acne-prone and sensitive skin will EAT this up.

I have been really liking this for calming down my petrified skin after laser hair removal. I enjoy the herbal medicinal smell and its viscosity makes it nicely hydrating. Will definitely be buying the bigger version eventually, I imagine it will work well for travel where my skin gets so dry and breaks out.

This is the first specifically hydrating toner I've used, so I don't really have anything to compare it to - but I really like it. It's a good, lightweight, quick way to get a burst of hydration and toning that absorbs fast enough to quickly move on to your next skincare step.

It absorbs into dry skin very quickly, the oilier skin not to much.
When my skin feels stripped and over-cleansed, this is very refreshing and calming.
When my skin is irritated and sensitive, this can sting a bit because it has a low pH.

Does it give me glass dewy skin hydration? Not so much. Like I said, it absorbs very fast into dry skin, leaving behind a more of a matte finish than a glossy one.

If used as a face pack soaked on a cotton pad, *then* it can give that ultra punch of hydration dewiness, but it still absorbs and dries very quickly once the face packs are removed.

I mostly use this without a cotton pad, patting it directly onto skin as a refreshing toner in between cleansing and serums.
