Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

This toner has a thicker consistency then I was expecting. I found that it never really sank into my skin but felt like it just sat on top. It didn't offer too much hydration which was disappointing. I passed it off to my husband and he had the same conclusion.

This is the first specifically hydrating toner I've used, so I don't really have anything to compare it to - but I really like it. It's a good, lightweight, quick way to get a burst of hydration and toning that absorbs fast enough to quickly move on to your next skincare step.

It absorbs into dry skin very quickly, the oilier skin not to much.
