I've tried a number of calming "HG" toners and this is the first product I'm planning to repurchase for my dehydration-prone, acneic skin. While at first glance it looks and feels like water, I feel like it's a great addition to your skincare if you often react to toners with breakouts. The hydration effect is not strong, so if you're looking for that, look somewhere else, but it calms my skin after harsh acids, acne medication and washing my face, returns my skin to feeling "normal" and reduces redness from irritation. I feel like it's also contributed to my skin's brightness and has boosted the effects of my subsequent steps of moisturizing, calming products. It is light and also suitable for layering (7-skin method), which I sometimes do if I don't want to overwhelm my skin with too many different products.

The packaging is great: sturdy, thick but light plastic, with a screw on cap. I've lugged this around with me to the gym on several occasions and it's never spilled, so I feel like purchasing the smaller size is great for a try-out and also for the packaging which I can now reuse after I purchase the larger size.

I have almost used up my 80 ml bottle after daily usage morning and night and have been very satisfied - it has lasted almost two months for me, so I feel that this product is very much worth the money.
