Hydrium Watery Toner.

"It says it's got 100% Centella asiatica. This is just not true. [...] The first ingredient in here is water. You're looking at 99% water in this product. Then it's got butylene glycol, then it's got 1,2-hexanediol, and then the fourth ingredient in here is Centella. So you're looking at a fraction of a percent of Centella, maybe 1% in this entire thing. And then calling it 100% Centella asiatica, I don't like it because you're being [...] misled. I really don't like that for my skin of color family. [...] But having said this, it's a naysafe product and it's actually a lovely product if you're looking for something that is just hydrating and soothing to the skin. If you have a damaged skin barrier, I'm happy for you to use this. Are you going to get any brightening effects with it? No. Is it going to help with texture? No. Is it going to help with fine lines? No. But [...] it is naysafe and it's going to be good if you have a dehydrated barrier."

"I do find that they make great essences and toners and it's their peptide booster for those individuals who can't get over that sticky tackiness. This is one that is a must try. It is super watery, super lightweight. You pump onto your palms like two pumps, you pat it all over your skin after cleansing, absorbs really quickly and because it's so lightweight it's very versatile in the sense I find that many people can benefit from this product. I also love the ingredients, especially for those who are tackling anti-aging concerns. It has a blend of various different peptides including copper tripeptide. Copper has been huge and I think it's going to continue to grow in popularity because number one it's antioxidant, it's anti-inflammatory, has wound healing properties and also has been shown as one of the few peptides that can truly help to support collagen synthesis. With how watery and lightweight this product is, it's really helpful for tackling fine lines and wrinkles. It also has niacinamide in there and also various different blends of amino acids. So just all around a wonderful lightweight product, really easy to incorporate into your morning and evening routine."

"If you're someone who really likes snail mucin, [...] this is one that I think you will really like. If you hated snail mucin, like it didn't work for you, then I would stay away from this because it has a very similar consistency, a similar texture. [...] But here's where this product has really been one that I think flies under the radar. It's that it's got poly glutamic acid in it, which I don't know why brands are not so generous with this ingredient because it compliments hyaluronic acid really well or performs really well on its own because it is hydrating but it creates this slippery soothing film on the surface of the skin to also reduce water loss. So it has occlusive properties but it's not heavy. Wonderful option to consider if you have very oily or what you consider combination skin where you have patches of oiliness and dryness. It addresses the needs of the skin barrier without feeling super greasy or heavy. [...] You can use it at night time after cleansing, apply it as a first step after cleansing at night or if you're using another product that is more of a liquid, thinner texture, you would put that on first and then this on over. It works really well as a standalone moisturizer at that point, especially if you're going to put a topical retinoid on over it."
