Makes skin so clear!
The best toner/exfoliating skincare product I've tried. I have no texture on my face, and I'm so glowy! It's all I use, other than cleanser. (I have non-sensitive combination skin, for reference.)

Cleared my skin so fast!
I received the travel version of this product for Christmas and not only did it last me a long time it also cleared my skin out so nicely. There was no irritation and it gave my skin the perfect amount of exfoliation to reach clarity again.

Smooth and clear!
I didn’t realise how good this was until I ran out! I’ll never be without it. Definitely helps to minimise pores, and give smoother complexion.

Cleared my skin
The only reason I’ve given this 4 stars is because they’ve changed the packaging and it feels so cheap now but the product itself does wonders for clearing up and smoothing my skin. It caused some irritation when I first started using it but now that I use it sparingly and only a few times a week, it’s been great especially since I deal with a lot of clogged pores and whiteheads
