As someone with super sensitive skin that gets flushed even after gentle cleansing, I was thrilled to find a product free of harmful ingredients! There was one potentially sensitizing ingredient - citric acid, I believe - but it must be in such a low concentration because I experienced no irritation or blemishes from the very first use. My skin is so delicate that incompatible skincare usually causes redness and tiny bumps within minutes, but this product caused no such reaction even when layered 2-3 times. The fragrance-free formula might be divisive, but I prefer it to overly artificial scents. Unlike some unscented products that still have a lingering smell, this one truly has no detectable odor. The lightweight texture absorbs well without any stickiness. It has a watery consistency like typical 'doctor' toners, but the hyaluronic acid seems to provide much more hydration. You can layer it multiple times for extra moisture without any heaviness. This would be perfect for combination dehydrated or sensitive skin types who dislike rich textures.

For my skin that's changed from oily to nearly dry over the past two years, one application wasn't quite enough. Those with dry skin may need to apply 2-3 layers to feel properly hydrated. While it could work well for dry skin in summer, it might not be sufficient in winter. I deducted one star because it may not be moisturizing enough for very dry skin types.

You can layer it multiple times for a fresh, non-sticky boost of hydration - you really feel the moisture locked in! Since my sensitive skin tends to get red after cleansing, I've noticed this toner helps reduce redness noticeably faster when applied right after washing. For those with sensitive skin or irritated skin, soaking cotton pads with this toner and applying them as a mask works wonders for calming angry skin. It's excellent for soothing inflamed skin.
