What the gurus are saying

Deep hydration that sinks in without stickiness is what keeps coming up, gurus praise how watery yet plump it feels, with eight types of hyaluronic acid that layer beautifully without affecting other products. Kombucha ferment and its antioxidants support a healthy glow, and the formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin types, though one reviewer flagged that not everything in the brand's range suits sensitive skin equally. At a lower price point than comparable options, it's won over gurus who've repurchased repeatedly since 2022.

"I finished this before the Fresh Kombucha toner. I had it on one side of my face and Fresh on the other, and this side looked better, though I'm not honestly sure that would have been statistically significant in a clinical setting. The bottom line for me is that this one is more affordable, and if something is more affordable than something similar but more expensive, I'm going to like the more affordable one more."

"It's a really fantastic toner, very very hydrating, and [...] I have a dehydration beast in my skin so [...] I need something very, very hydrating, and this dives down deep into the skin to give that replenishing deep hydration. [...] It also has just a little bit of plumping body to it [...] that helps lock the hydration in, [...] while still maintaining a lightness and a wateriness, a quickly absorbed quality, without drying sticky or tacky on the skin."

Ranking My Skincare Empties with Emojis! Summer '23 Edition

"It's really hydrating. All of these toners have had a really similar texture because we're talking about stuff I emptied in the summer months, so really deeply hydrating and replenishing and watery. It'll just kiss a body that gives you just that little like fullness and that little plumpness to the skin. The way that I like to describe this is, you know, I love Dr. Sarah Cole vegan Kombucha Tea Essence, that's the dual layer one with the tea portion and then that cream portion at the top."

August Faves | KAINE, Torriden, Versed, The Manucurist

"This is really hydrating and that's the first thing that I want from my toner because my toner can't really deeply replenish and hydrate my thirsty skin I'm not gonna mess around with it for any other benefits and this [...] absolutely does replenish the skin it feels so good so refreshing. [...] I am looking for that hydration that dives deep into my skin and I feel like this dives deep. There are quite a few different humectants in here, they are using eight types of hyaluronic acid."

PM Routine w/ Tret | What Well-Aging Means to Me

"I've been liking doing just like a quick little layer of this. It adds some nice nutrients into the skin. It just feels so good and refreshing in the summer time too."

My Top 5 Hydrating Toners | 2025 Edition

"What really made me fall in love with it is definitely the amount of hydration that it brings to my skin but also its ability to bring out a really healthy vibrancy to my complexion. It really makes my complexion glow, makes it look really bright and even toned and just really healthy. It's hydrating but it also brings up the quality of your skin as well and the quality of your glow. There's one percent of panthenol in here and this is one of my favorite humectant ingredients."

GRWM Barbie Movie | AD ft KAINE

"That's the hyaluronic acid that I really do enjoy. This really helps balance my skin in just two layers, which I really like while still feeling really, really light. I've been really into this toner. It really replenishes my skin. All of that tea, I always feel like it just supports a really healthy complexion. The vitamins and minerals from the fermentation process really help to support healthy skin. When your skin is healthy, that's where the glow comes from."

The Best Skincare of 2023! 🎉

"I absolutely love this toner because it's that texture that I really enjoy. It is lightweight and watery, but it's not the type of thin watery toner that just sits on top of your skin and almost feels like it disappears after a minute or two. This dives deep into the skin to really replenish hydration, really get down to the deep source of dehydration. If that's something that you suffer with, I do, and so it really feels so hydrating and replenishing."
