Watery pH 5.5 toner for hydration and redness; layers beautifully.

A watery, fragrance-free humectant toner built around glycerin, betaine, panthenol, and madecassoside. It suits dehydrated, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin that wants layers without heft. Cracked or very reactive skin can still sting, and some people get bumps.
