To quickly note, I received this for free from TRIMAY in exchange for my honest review.
The toner contains 200 ml (6.56 oz) and is free of fragrance.
The toner is fairly viscous, my favorite texture for toner.
It has a very hydrating texture.
It's extremely moisturizing after it's blended in.
Recommended use is after washing your face, apply the contents to the palm of your hand or a cotton pad. Apply gently by wiping along the skin texture. This product is vegan and fragrance-free. After using, the toner is fairly viscous but not heavy. It’s very refreshing and soothing on the skin without being tacky. It’s deeply hydrating and works to tone redness pretty quickly. It’s easy to swipe on with a cotton pad or simply apply and pat in with your hands; either method works very well. This can also be layered to enhance the hydration of your skin. There are no irritants in the ingredient list, and as mentioned, there's no artificial fragrance or colorants. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially to people with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and oily skin.
What I like: there's no fragrance, it contains amazing ingredients with no irritants, and it's very gentle and skin-friendly for sensitive skin. There's a good amount of product and this is really good at soothing any irritation. What I don't like: nothing, honestly.
