Great value but won't be buying it again
I've finished a bottle for probably a course of 6 months (?), and personally, I'm not going to buy it again. I noticed that it takes too much time to absorb into my skin. While I'd usually appreciate this since I do stuff while waiting for it to absorb, I found that it would just run down my face. And while it didn't break me out, it may have caused my forehead acne and CCs to worsen. The moment I went off on using it, only did I notice my troubles to go away.

It is still a good toner for those on a budget! Hydrating and makes your skin look plump for longer because of its size :)) Although I'd rather just get a smaller toner that will perform better than this.
