I use this emulsion after my toner in order to hydrate my skin, which it does a wonderful job at. It smells nice, not overwhelming, and spreads well. It comes in the form of a pump which makes it easy to use. If you have dry skin, I would recommend applying this after toner and before the rest of your skincare routine. I do not use this as a moisturizer/cream, as it is too thin for my dry skin to fully hydrate it. I apply a separate moisturizer at the end of my skincare routine. If you have oily skin, this may be enough to replace your moisturizer at the end of your routine rather than after your toner step.
