How we score →Yay
8 experts · Moderate agreementHeads up: 5 of the 8 experts here were paid by the brand, leaving 3 unpaid. We have kept this score cautious as a result.
What the gurus are saying
This toner's thin, watery texture keeps coming up, and it hydrates without the greasy sheen some hydrating products leave. Sensitive or dehydrated skin is the fit the takes point to most, and repeated layering on parched skin has caused no irritation for those who tried it. The one thing to keep in mind: oily skin is the group the takes steer clear of, and a lone nay says not to buy it.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
