(Using Since 2021) Despite having Parfum listed as an ingredient, this is actually one of the few toners that my skin doesn't react negatively to. I also feel that compared to most toners, it's budget friendly for the amount that it provides. It acts as a nice additional cleansing and hydrating step for me as well.
