Horoscope: 5 points are very good!

I'd like to leave a candid review of Clears' Supple Presentation Unsent Toner.

First of all, one of the biggest advantages of this toner is that it has no scent. This product was perfect for me with scent-sensitive skin. I was able to use it without any burden on my skin even though I didn't have a strong scent like other products.

The texture of the toner was lightweight and absorbed quickly. It felt fresh without stickiness even when applied to the skin, and it provided moisture, especially without any oiliness.

It also had an excellent effect in terms of hydration. After using it, my skin was able to feel alive as if it were reviving, and I felt that my skin tone improved after a long period of constant use.

The toner didn't have a large capacity, so it was convenient to carry around and perfect for everyday use. Also, it was compatible with other skincare products, so it wasn't burdensome to integrate into the routine.

Clears Supple Presentation Unsent Toner has no scent, so it is less irritating to the skin, and I think it is an excellent product for taking care of the skin condition by properly hydrating it. It is especially recommended for those with sensitive skin.

In total, the Clears Supple Presentation Unsent Toner was a perfect blend for effective hydration and fragrance-sensitive skin, and it was really satisfying.
