love to use this as a face mask, soothes my skin and hydrates will purchase again
was influenced by han so hee to try this & i think it was q disappointing for me 😓 does its basic job of hydrating, but did not help reduce my inflammation as it claims it would. left my skin feeling rather sticky as well, which was something i didn’t like especially if i were putting on makeup after.
didn’t cause any breakouts, but not an amazing product either. huge plus points for being Show more

Did not live up with the hype I've seen all over TikTok.
I wanted to love it as I heard great things about it for acne prone skin, but it literally did nothing to me even when i used it for four months (2 bottles).
Once I stopped using it, my skin became better.
Very good at targeting redness and irritations. Whenever my skin feels irritated, either from treatments or using products with Tretinoin and Hydroquinone, or is experiencing Rosacea flare-ups, applying one or more layers of this toner noticeably reduces redness - sometimes it even disappears completely, depending on the severity.
I usually am cautios with hyped products, they tend to set you Show more
