I think this is more of a preference but I prefer as a first step toner, a more watery formula and while this worked for the stated purpose of hydration, it wasn't as good as a few layers of my usual Soonjung toner though it was more convenient to put one layer of this toner on. It never irritated my skin or stung though so I do think it can be used by people sensitive skin (unless you have an allergy or reaction to any of the botanical ingredients). It is similar in texture to the Klairs supple preparation toner.
