Tried and true
I have used this toner for about 3-4 months and it has helped with my combination/oily skin. It is gentle enough not to dry out my skin, while still really helping with the sebum production.
I have moved on from it just because I want to experiment with other products - otherwise it is a tried and true product: it has even helped with keeping the ocassional breakouts at bay.
Brighten my skin a lot. Very very hydrating. Literally so underrated compare to other popular toner, this toner contains much more helpful ingredients and targets much more wider skins concerns. If u have that one feeling of tightness and dry after double cleansing. This is the toner for u. Very soothing 💚💚

If you’re super duper mega oily and live in hot, humid weather, then this toner is definitely for you. It’s incredibly effective in terms of oil control. I have combination skin, and this toner really helps manage the oiliness in my T-zone.
It’s doing such a great job at oil control that even my cheeks, which aren’t oily, ended up feeling dry. Clearly, it’s really effective at controlling oil.
Makes other steps bearable! My temporary repair moisturizer isn't very hydrating I think, and it leaves my skin sort of sticky that isn't very pleasant until several hours later, but this toner really helps with controlling sebum that I believe it makes for a better feel until my PM routine!
Unsure if better with other hydrating products, as my current routine has very little, but for those Show more
