I've been dealing with acne for a long time. I wanted to start using The Ordinary peeling solution, but I needed a very mild toner with no harsh chemicals to use after chemical peeling. I decided to give this toner a try, and it's the best. I've gone through more than three bottles of this toner. My skin tends to struggle with healing after acne or injuries, often leaving dark spots or pitted acne scars behind. It definitely made them less visible.
My skin also tends to get a bit oily in the middle of the day (I live in a very humid area). If I don't wanna wash it, I can simply use it with a cotton pad to wipe the oil off.
