    I had this toner just sitting around in my stash for quite some time. It is winter and it is cold and dry, so my oily but dehydrated skin was feeling a little depleted. I decided to add this to my...

    Overall a nice toner. Lightly moisturising, nothing crazy. Was okay for my sensitive skin. It isn't great at removing makeup (not that I'd expect it to be) but it's fine as a quick morning cleanse...

    Contrary to the name, this made my skin irritated and shockingly red. As in "What happened to your face?!" red, but not like a swell-y, hive-y allergic reaction. It was localized to my cheeks. I...

    A caveat about me: I am not a daily toner user and this is not so life changing that it has turned me into one. If it had been that good, I would have given it five lippies. However, I do like to...

    To be honest, I never really understood the added benefit of a toner. It always seemed like a useless extra step to me and I prefer to limit the amount of steps in my skincare routine in order to...

    When you have sensitive and/or redness-prone skin, toners are always somewhat tricky. I'm also one of those people that must use a toner after cleansing, as I feel that toning really makes the skin...
