this is my first time using a nature republic toner, and i have to say, it works really well! it smells like aloe obviously, and it has a very watery consistency. the toner itself makes my face feel very moisturized and it has a cooling effect as well. this toner works really well before wearing a face mask--i noticed that when i used this toner before using a face mask, the effects of the face mask were amplified. i love this product overall!
