I have mixed feelings about this toner. It's super hydrating and feels good on my skin some days. I expected this to be really comforting on days when my skin is more sensitive since it has a lot of comforting ingredients, but it's not. It leaves me disappointed, and I wish I had a bottle of oat toner from Purito. It also smells, but nothing is perfuming every time I check the ingredients, so that's odd as well. I'd repurchase this toner if it were the only option available. There are better options for hydrating toners for dry, sensitive skin.

I love thicker consistency toners, this milky one is a fav fav, great for winter. Also has brightening ingredients and honestly, it might be the first toner to ever actually work as a brightening product for me as I have many many acne scars and hyperpigmentation marks and using this for about a month has helped clear some spots way quicker. Obviously, it isn't perfect, i am also using products such as the Avene cicalfate+ cream but i still think this toner is doing a good job as a helper to reduce my irritation and dryness and to brighten up a bit. HOWEVER! The only con would be that it does have fragrance, and it smells like a cleanser(?) like it smells similar to some gel cleansers i've tried and it does throw me off a bit since well... it isn't a cleanser.. but i haven't found that it broke me out and i do have sensitive combo skin. Smell it before you get it lol, use milky toners during these dry winters, your skin will thank you and GOD is it gorgeous under makeupp.
