I think the sourcing of centella makes a difference in the quality of the product and I don't think any company has a better centella than Skin1004...
I think the sourcing of centella makes a difference in the quality of the product and I don't think any company has a better centella than Skin1004 since their entire product line is centered around this ingredient. I like all of their toners but this one is my favorite since the centella is fermented. This is my go-to toner because it feels so great on my skin.
