This product was annoyingly watery, in my opinion, and I'm not sure how much it was really soothing my skin, even when applying many layers.

Current favorite soothing and moisturizing toner pads. So much serum and very soft which is perfect for irritated skin. Not as calming for redness as some others but definitely very gentle and moisturizing
