Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

I tried this for a couple of weeks, and it's not for me. Every time I use it, I feel like it sucks all the moisture out of my skin. It left my skin feeling dry and irritated after use. After a look into the ingredients, it seems there are ones that may have vitamin C content, and my skin reacts badly to that. If you don't have super dry, sensitive and reactive skin you might enjoy this toner.
