Overview
This toner is formulated to be hydrating first, with an unscented profile that suits sensitive skin and a natural, vegan formula overall. It is positioned specifically for dry, sensitive and acne prone skin, and it includes centella and birch sap, ingredients commonly chosen to support a calm, hydrated look.
The 5.07 fluid ounce bottle is priced at $38, which puts it firmly in premium territory for a toner. That price reflects its essence like, moisture focused formula rather than a simple splash toner meant to just wipe away residue.
With a 4.7 star average across 422 ratings, feedback has been consistently positive, though the review count is smaller than some mainstream drugstore toners. The current bought last month figure of 5 suggests a steady but niche following rather than mass market volume.

Performance notes
Centella asiatica is widely used in Korean skincare to support the appearance of calm, less irritated looking skin, while birch sap contributes to the hydrating, essence like feel of the formula. Being unscented and vegan keeps the ingredient list simpler, which fits its positioning for sensitive and acne prone skin.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average is a strong result, and while 422 ratings is a smaller pool than some big name toners, the consistency of the score suggests the formula reliably delivers on its hydrating, calming positioning for the skin types it targets.

Frequently asked questions
Is this more of a toner or an essence?
It is marketed as a moisture essence toner, which means it sits between the two categories, offering more of a hydrating, nourishing step than a simple clarifying splash. It works well layered after cleansing and before a serum or moisturizer.
Is it safe for acne prone skin?
It is positioned for dry, sensitive and acne prone skin types and is unscented, which can help reduce the chance of irritation. As always, patch testing first is a reasonable step if your skin reacts easily to new products.
Why is this toner priced higher than average?
At $38 for 5.07 ounces, the price reflects its essence like formulation and inclusion of ingredients like centella and birch sap rather than a bare bones cleansing toner. Buyers who prioritize hydration and gentle ingredients over price tend to be the best fit.
