A great toner that suits my combination skin. It’s quite soothing and has no scent or a very very light one. I wanted to try a product with mugwort and I am quite satisfied. I will also probably buy another bottle after I finish it.

Been using for about a month and I really like this product. I’ve got combo/acne prone skin and this is very soothing even when I’ve got breakouts. It has an herbaceous scent that some might not like but it isn’t very strong and I’ve come to enjoy it. It also dries down well and doesn’t leave any unpleasant residue on the skin. Will be repurchasing when I use up my current bottle.
