I’d go so far to say this is better, even, than Torriden’s hyaluronic acid serum! This is soooooo good, so affordable, and so effective. Five stars.

Beautiful lightweight toner. This is exactly what I was looking for in a toner, hydrating, calming, and soothing. Suitable for both the morning and night. Does exactly what it claims to do, calm my skin. I think this would probably work well for a variety of people, it's quite a simple ingredient list. Zero irritation just calming ingredients. Also a reasonable price for the amount of product.
