iUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner 29 ingredients
I really hate the smell of it, it’s kind of irritating, it smells a bit like medicine or hospitals with rose undertones🙈. I haven’t noticed any change on my skin while using it. Definitely not calming or soothing I would say even a little bit irritating - but maybe it is just the smell that triggers me. I wouldn’t buy it again.
