Lovely toner pads. Good for reducing redness, irritation and I also used them as a quick morning cleanse. Not too harsh on the skin either....

Lovely toner pads. Good for reducing redness, irritation and I also used them as a quick morning cleanse. Not too harsh on the skin either. Probably wouldn't repurchase as much as I enjoyed the experience I didn't find a long term use for them in my routine.
