Adds a level of plumpness to my skin that’s unattainable without it. The way my skin just feels so full after this, it’s hard to describe but without this toner it really feels like it lacks luster. I layer this on top of a soothing light toner and it absorbs into the skin so perfectly, it has a thicker milky texture and makes your skin feel full, the reason why I prefer it to I’m rice milk toner is because this one includes peptides and ceramides and hyaluronic acid which is probably why it feels so filling to the skin (because of the increased collagen and skin barrier building affect it has on it) It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump all day, just like rice. I really love it and recommend it. I was given the sample bottle which was 20mls, that lasted me an entire month while using it twice a day for the full face. I now have the 150ml version and I think it will last an estimation of 7-8 months. I really recommend it (after your own research of course!)

I don't understand this product.
After doing skincare for over a decade, I've tried hundreds of products (yes, my wallet isn't happy). This product was one of the worst out of these hundreds. Most products I've tried are alright. This one was truly not good. It has a strong scent, didn't absorb, and just didn't do anything positive for my skin at all. I gave it 2 weeks and stopped when I started breaking out. I truly cannot understand why people love this toner so much.

This is my holy grail product. I’ve always had oily, acne prone skin. I first used this while staying at a friends, and she let me borrow her skincare. Changed my skincare forever. Better than any other anti-acne product I’ve used.
