Breaks me out every time. I used for a few weeks and finally had to stop because it was continuing to make my acne worse.

I suffer from dry and dehydrated skin that doesn’t tolerate hyaluronic acid in winter, so this toner is my HG during the colder months. Soothing, hydrating and without pilling. One of my all time favourites for effective and fuss-free skincare.
