I quite like this toner, but I don’t love it as much as I’d hoped based on the ingredients (which is too bad, because I accidentally ordered two… still, it’s nice enough that I am fine either using the second or giving it as a gift). I think I was hoping for a bit more of a follow-up glow, like what I get from Dr Ceuracle’s Kombucha essence, but I guess that wasn’t a fair expectation; they’re very different products with very different purposes in a skin care regimen. Just FYI!
Anyway, it is much more “toner” than “ampoule” in that it’s quite watery, though it has a slipperiness to it that shows it’s got extra hydrating power. I like it as a first step or quick refresh, though since I live in a desert, it wasn’t really enough as the only hydrating step in my routine. I was also hoping to use it as a light hydrator before tretinoin, since anything too heavy might interfere with the medication, but again it wasn’t quite enough on its own. I bet it’s great in humid climates, though!
