Overview
This toner is built around a 7 percent glycolic acid concentration, rounded out with rose water, witch hazel and aloe vera gel. It's formulated without alcohol or oil, and the gel texture is a bit different from a splash on liquid toner, which some people find gentler to apply.
What stands out is how broadly it's positioned: the skin type listing covers combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin, and the rose scent adds a pleasant note to the exfoliating step. It's also cruelty free, and each bottle holds 6 ounces at $17.95.
A 4.4 star average across 936 ratings is a strong, well established result, and 7 units bought in the last month shows the toner continues to sell steadily on top of its existing review base.

Performance notes
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that works at the surface of the skin, and at 7 percent this formula sits at a moderate strength that may help with the look of dullness, uneven tone and rough texture over time. Rose water and aloe vera gel help soften the experience, while witch hazel adds a light toning quality, which likely explains why the brand lists it as suitable across a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
