What the gurus are saying

This watery toner earns praise for instant hydration and soothing benefits, leaving skin refreshed and plumped without clashing with active ingredients in the rest of your routine. The second ingredient is denatured alcohol, which evaporates quickly and can actually help oily skin, though those using citrus oils for daytime should patch-test first since orange peel and lime oil may cause sensitivity in sunlight. At $28, it's a straightforward hydrating toner that does what it promises.

"For a regular toner, the belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner. I've been using this for just under 5 years. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, which helps hydrate your skin. Honeysuckle extract to help soothe the skin. Baobab tree seed extract to help with moisture retention. It's very watery, but it just leaves my skin feeling refreshed and plumped. It's everything a daily use toner should be. Hydration, soothing, locks that all in. It doesn't fight with my serums when it comes to active ingredients. It's not trying to be anything other than a hydrating toner, which is in my opinion all a toner has to be nowadays. I don't want to have actives in that might clash with the rest of my routine. And this is perfect for that."

AD Before Glass Skin Was Viral: How Belif Changed Skincare Forever
"You can use this in so many different ways. Obviously just toner on your face. You can put this on a cotton pad and use it like toner pads, which I love, especially if my skin is very, very irritated. My rosacea prone skin. Perfect for that. I'll be honest, I don't always love a really watery lightweight toner. I do like what I call like a full fat water type texture, but when the calming benefits are so nice, when the hydration benefits feel so instant, I can look past that. Don't care. Dry, combination, oily skin, you're going to love it."

"This toner is actually quite interesting. It's called the Aqua Bomb and it's supposed to be super hydrating but the second ingredient is actually denatured alcohol. I don't fear this in skincare because of how it evaporates off the skin and it can help with oily prone skin. I don't know exactly how much is in here but it seems to be a good amount. Overall the glycerin in here is probably pretty helpful. We have a lot of these plant extracts. I'd be worried about the orange peel oil and the lime oil especially for day use if you are going outside with this. But is it a bad product absolutely not. For the price it's 28 bucks, again if only it were cruelty free I would probably add this to my cart. It seems like a pretty good toner, it seems actually kind of more like an essence because it has that glycerin."
