Layerable hydration toner with madecassoside and aloe; some find it too drying.

A simple watery toner built around glycerin, madecassoside, aloe, and sodium hyaluronate. It’s the kind of thing tret users layer two or three times for extra hydration. Dry, already-dehydrated skin may still want something heavier.
