I have originally purchased a different toner but due to certain circumstances, I exchanged it to this one. I was lucky that I ended up with this toner. I have very sensitive and dehydrated skin which was also gravely damaged by a chemical pilling a few years ago, thus, maybe products just simply don’t work for me. However, this toner does not only smooths my skin and does not irritate my skin, it also soothe redness and any spots I had previously. It does have a smell to it, but it is not a bad one and over time, I do not take notice of it anymore. In the beginning, I did have a reaction to it, but only because it contains many fermented ingredients and it was a lot to take for my skin at first. I would recommend to start off slowly at first, just to let the skin get used to it before applying it morning and evening. I use my hands to lightly stamp and then tap the product into my skin right after I’m done with cleansing my skin. So far, it is a dream.
