Can be a little strong at times, depending on how reactive or sensateces tour skin/acne prone skin is. But for the most part, is definitely effective in providing hydration and toning at the same time. Would buy again, but think Combo might be a better fit for my skin concerns. As part of the experience of me enjoying a product is how to applies and feels. Love that the packing is in a spray bottle in comparison to other toners. Definitely simplifies the routine. Love this.
