It does what it says. Nowadays, I only used these two products: Mamonde Rose water toner and the Rose water soothing gel. I'm trying to minimise the number of products I put on my face and thus these two compliments each other. I'm not particular with lightening skin effect, pore shrinkage, acne care, etc. Just that I love my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturise. This does the job. Loving it! The smell, for me, is a plus as well. <33
