The toner is milky, runny, and absorbs reasonably fast. Little goes a long way and one bottle will last for months of daily use. I'd give it 5 starts, but the scent is quite strong - the scent is floral and it's not that it's unpleasant, I just wouldn't recommend this to someone who is uncomfortable with heavily scented products. Apart from the strong scent, this is a great alternative for ceramide creams.
