It's been a while since I have used a toner because I usually think that I can get away with skipping this step. I have been using the toner for less than a week now and it made my skin brighter, as for the texture there are no major changes yet. The good thing about this toner is that it does not include alcohol. Great for sensitive skin and any type of skin because it is moisturizing and not sticky. The thing I both like and dislike about the product is the odor, though it smells really good it does stqy on for quite a while but when you qpply the other skincare products the odor goes away.
