My holy grail together with the normal lab 5000 toner
I bought this in September of last year, I use it every day in the morning. It hasn’t broke me out or trigger my fungal acne.
I have dry, sensitive, fungal-acne prone skin and it has hydrated my skin very well and helped me through winter.
I am looking at other toners but I’ve yet to find one that piques my interest but I will update if I have found a better alternative.
