What the community says

Backed by 2 studies

A watery toner with Centella Asiatica, glycerin, panthenol, and botanical extracts that layers easily for hydration and post-active soothing. It suits oily, dehydrated, redness-prone skin, though chin CCs and occasional worsening make patch-testing sensible.
