Again, toner is a product that I don't normally use so it was an adjustment for me to incorporate it into my daily routine. But by the third time of using it, it has now become a step I can't do without. Other toners I have used in the past haven't all been kind to my skin, as most of them contain alcohol that stings and burns the skin when applied. This toner is gentle yet very effective. It is also when using the toner that you can see how amazing the cleansing milk really is. There are no serious tell tale signs of dirt left on the cotton swab when wiping the toner across your skin.
