I used this toner for years and I didn’t think it was doing much for me so I removed it from my skin care routine. I replaced it with another toner. Within months, my skin started to break out and I couldn’t pinpoint the reason why. I eventually removed the other tone and replaced it with this one. In just a few weeks, my skin cleared up and I realized that this was the trick. It gentle calms my skin without being too harsh. I enjoy that it’s alcohol free as well. Never removing this from my skincare routine again.
