Honestly, I wanted to love this product. It did help with redness and hydration. But I fear this was part of my face feeling a burning sensation when I added moisturizer on top of it…
I was wary of trying this, as I absolutely despise BYOMA’s brightening toner, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth all the Internet hype, especially considering how cost effective it is compared to most other milky toners. Quite light and immediately hydrating. This is definitely going to be my staple winter toner.
