no more breakouts?
i honestly don't know what to make of this product because i used it in 2021 for about.. 6 months?? i was very generous since it was a small bottle. back then, i had extreme hormonal acne and a new pimple would emerge every day and i absolutely hated it. this toner lowkey lived up to the hype, but i wish packaging was better because the bottle did leak when received. they should Show more
I’ve been using this product for about a month, my acne is hormonal and I also have fungal acne issues. This product makes my GIANT pimples less irritated and go away in 2 days rather than their usual week-week and a half. Perfect for my combination sensitive skin!

amazing soothing toner to calm down skin with redness, flakyness, texture and dullness. it's a watery toner that absorbs quick into the skin and can be layered with ease. it leaves a semi matte finish, depending on how many layers u use of this toner. it does have a strong, noticable herbal fragrance, but my skin didn't mind it and wasn't sensitive/sensitized after the use. i use 2-3 layers every Show more
So hydrating, light weight, helps call the skin, reduces redness. Only downside is that it’s discontinued.
