How we score →Yay
3 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This toner's creamy, gel-like texture delivers hydration and plumping without the thin, watery feel typical of many toners. It leaves skin smooth and glossy, and works particularly well for hyperpigmentation and brightening, thanks to green tea and licorice root, which provide both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The rich formula suits cooler seasons best; those looking for summer hydration may want to save it for fall.
