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.

not FA-safe and contains oils. it clogged my pores and broke me out really badly. only good thing was that it had a 'cooling' effect which is nice for hot weather but that was about it. i was so disappointed because i've heard many good things about it and people hyping it up.. i don't recommend at all.
