What the gurus are saying

This toner prioritizes exfoliation over hydration, which means it does not deliver the balancing moisture typical toners are meant to provide. Experts who reviewed it found it functions more like an additional exfoliator than a true toner, and some flagged that the exfoliating strength may not justify the cost or the extra step if you are already using other actives. Those on a budget or new to toners may want to skip this and start with a simpler, hydrating option first.

"The toner at $45, a skin renewing toner using double acidic and enzymatic exfoliation to help reduce the appearance of pores and enhance skin texture. It isn't really a toner, it's another exfoliator, so it's not hydrating at all in any way. Yeah, it's an exfoliating toner, but not necessarily a good one."

"You don't need the toner. I wasn't always a toner girl. I find that this really added a step that I wasn't used to using and it really did make a big difference. The purpose of the toner is probably to just balance out your skin pH. If you're dry and you really want a hydrating, really super moisturizing toner, that's fine, but a lot of toners have alcohol, they're drying, irritating. If you're on a budget, you really don't need a toner. It's like a way extra step."
