PURITO Oat-In Silky Toner 10 ingredients
I wanted to love this as it scored a 94 for me. My rosacea, dry and sensitive skin didn’t have any reactions but it was not hydrating enough for my dry skin. It also gave my skin an oily film, hard to explain but it seem to sit on the surface and make a barrier so my skin would sweat. It also stung my eyes horrible if I rubbed my eyes during the day at all. It did however have a calming effect Show more
Love this one! This saved my stripped skin barrier and winter dry skin 🤍
I have acne prone and winter dry skin. My skin barrier had become dry and unbalanced. This toner is thin enough to not to clog my pores but moisturizing enough that I barely need to use moisturizer as well. 2-3 layers of this in the morning or evening and just a light layer of moisturizer for a couple of weeks and my skin Show more

The product didn't break my oily and acne prone skin out and it did significantly reduced my PIH and acne scars within 2 weeks. It hydrates my skin too due to the hyaluronic acids it contains which helps me to replace my 6HA serum. It has a translucent appearance with a slimy consistency, and it gets sticky after rubbing it. However, it gets light after you let it dry.
