I was skeptical at first about using a toner. My AB regimen is pretty extensive already, and I thought, what does a toner step really do? Is it necessary? So, I went out on a whim and bought this Mamonde rose water toner. I can't believe how much of a difference its already made. My skin is softer, smoother, and way brighter. I try to use it twice a day and really notice a difference from before when I was not using it. Mainly, it's helped keep my oil skin less oily and moisturize "from within" if that makes sense. You should try it if you are on the fence about toners.
