I've found this toner to be gentle on my skin and has a lovely soothing effect whenever I use it. It moisterises my skin and leaves it feeling nourished. Key ingredients in this toner are niacinamide, centella asiatica leaf water and Glutathione. It does have a slightly earthy smell but I like that it doesn't have added parfum in it.
I use this toner by pouring it into a cotton pad then swipe it gently across my face. It hasn't irritated or caused any breakouts from using this toner. It does help to mattify my combination skin.
