Suuuuper gentle watery toner with beneficial & mild plant extracts.

I've got nothing bad to say about this toner, but I'm also unsure that it does anything. I went for it because I was experiencing irritation and fungal reactions from previous products and decided to dial down my routine and switch to simpler formulations with less actives. This is just that however, innocuous.
It's really watery and feels like nothing on the skin. It can be refreshing on a hot day (maybe it'd be nice in a mist bottle) and I haven't experienced any pilling when wearing makeup.
However, after almost a month of usage, I think (if still sticking to simpler formulations) I would rather go for something like One Thing's herbal toner, especially the centella one, I feel like that made more of a difference in my skin while still being non-irritating.
