instantly hydrating toner that plumps skin, makes skin feel good
I am a big fan of hydrating toners, especially Korean brands. They do not contain drying alcohols nor is it astringent. They are for helping to increase hydration, skin plumpness, gentle toning, and to prepare skin for the next steps.  I tend to apply multiple layers (ala "7 skin" method) adding some to the palm of my hands then patting it on. I do this a few times with several seconds in between. I know when my skin is hydrated enough once the product doesn't seem to soak in any more. Then I follow up with usually a serum and moisturizer (or SPF if using during day).<br /><br />My skin enjoys a whole host of different toners I have used over the years. Most are good enough, some are pretty great, and I was pleasantly surprised that this toner is rather fantastic for my dry, semi sensitive skin. I could tell with first use. I don't often comment on price because our budgets all vary, but I am commenting on this for being a good size, with great ingredients, effective results, and at a reasonable price ($20 is a good price point for this). Even with multiple "layers", it will last quite some time.<br /><br />My skin really did fall in love with it the first time I used it. I had just finished using a skin care line I ultimately wasn't crazy with. I had been skipping my usual dose of hydrating toner, and I felt that my skin was sorely missing the gentle hydration from skipping that as well as exacerbated dryness from a not too moisturizing skin care line. So now I am trying to return to my usual preferred products when this became available. Like I said, I haven't met any toners I didn't like. However, this one I have quickly- like first use- come to love. My skin is like, "ahhhhhh hydration". It feels so good that it doesn't seem like it would need a moisturizer on top-- but please do so you help lock in the hydration.<br /><br />I like it so much, that it absolutely will be repurchased when the time comes. I have a lot of skin care, and every once in awhile I think about what I would want to keep if I could only keep a few items. This is one of them, and I have loved other hydrating toners. I think I am sold on not only the way my skin feels but the medical grade ingredients.
