I don't understand this product.
After doing skincare for over a decade, I've tried hundreds of products (yes, my wallet isn't happy). This product was one of the worst out of these hundreds. Most products I've tried are alright. This one was truly not good. It has a strong scent, didn't absorb, and just didn't do anything positive for my skin at all. I gave it 2 weeks and stopped when I started breaking out. I truly cannot understand why people love this toner so much.

This is my holy grail product. I’ve always had oily, acne prone skin. I first used this while staying at a friends, and she let me borrow her skincare. Changed my skincare forever. Better than any other anti-acne product I’ve used.
