Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

I've reconsidered my thoughts on this, while it is lightly hydrating, it still does make a big difference in my skin. I stopped using it and noticed my skin was MUCH less bouncy and hydrated - i feel like it also smooths out large pores (only slightly), i personally wont repurchase as i feel my skin is too dehydrated and need something a little more but for someone else i feel this would be amazing

Hyaluronic acid has been trending over the last few years like crazy, so I started putting them in my skincare, and it worked really well. A lot of stuff on my skin cleared out, and my acne scars are getting better - although that's partially due to the fact that I try to drink a lot of water (nothings changed about my diet or sleep schedule tho)
Anyways, heard torriden toner is good to use with other torriden serum and cream, so decided to buy one just to try it out.
I washed my face with the normal soap that I always use, then I wiped my face with a towel. I poured the toner on my hands and kind of patted it onto my skin. After it dried, I used a few drops of serum, then dry, then it was the torriden soothing cream.
1. The toners basically like water. It looks like water and feels like water. However, it does sting when it gets in your eyes so that's how you know its not water.
2. **Not very hydrating** - ngl it wasn't really hydrating. I've been using scinic toner and that felt like it was hydrating from deep within my skin. This toner however, is mostly like water. I really liked the other two hyaluronic acid serum and soothing cream, but the toner was kind of a disappointment. Likely won't really buy again.
3. Feel like the best way to use it could be to put it in a spray bottle and kind of use it like a mist. Don't have a spray bottle so I'm not doing that yet, but its just a suggestion. Use other toner alongside with this, and just use this as a mist whenever its kind of dry and you don't want to go through your whole skincare routine again.
personally 3stars - its not bad, but could be better
agree on the fact that it wasnt that hydrating
