I really like this toner! This one is actually my 2nd bottle, soo a repurchase. The toner itself literally looks like tea (color, consistency, and scent). It's not the most hydrating toner for my dry skin, in fact it lacks hydration and couldn't be used as a standalone hydrating product for me. What I like about it though is how soothing it is. It soothed my redness and makes my face appears brighter as the redness subsided.
