I have mixed feelings about this toner. It's super hydrating and feels good on my skin some days. I expected this to be really comforting on days when my skin is more sensitive since it has a lot of comforting ingredients, but it's not. It leaves me disappointed, and I wish I had a bottle of oat toner from Purito. It also smells, but nothing is perfuming every time I check the ingredients, so Show more
