Pros: Works amazingly. My skin is so dry I’d scratch myself by accident and my arms would be covered with white scratch marks. Currently using a mist spray and even that’s effective. 500mL would last weeks, I’m sure. An absolute fave! So much that I keep a handy Show more

so far my favorite toner and someone with FA and combination skin
+ acne
it doesnt trigger sebum production and it hydrates me perfectly very summer friendly and it calms down my skin
I am really sensitive to fragrance and it doesnt have any, only product that worked for me. I used tons of different toners but this is holy grail. I purchased this 3 times. This even has the gaint sized one with 400ml. Gives me glass skin.
