The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This toner has a creamy, lotion like texture rather than a thin watery one, which fits its name. Ceramide is the named active ingredient, and it works alongside a peptide to support the skin's natural barrier while the oil free, alcohol free base keeps the formula from feeling stripping or drying. The unscented formula is positioned for combination, dry and sensitive skin, and it is meant to calm and soothe while it hydrates.
At 150 milliliters, or about 5.07 fluid ounces, the bottle is sized for daily use over several months. Because the texture leans creamy rather than liquid, it can double as a light layer of hydration before serums and moisturizer, which some people prefer over a thin, quick absorbing toner.
With a 4.7 star average across 995 ratings and a reported 50,000 or more units bought in the past month, this is clearly one of the more in demand toners in its category right now. That combination of a high rating and strong current sales is a meaningful signal of ongoing satisfaction.

- Ceramide and peptide combination supports the look of a healthy skin barrier

- 4.7 star average across 995 ratings
- Very high recent purchase volume suggests strong current demand
Cons
- Creamy texture may feel heavier than a traditional watery toner for some routines

- Unscented formula, so it will not appeal to anyone wanting a spa like scent
Performance notes
Ceramide is a lipid that helps support the skin's natural barrier and can make a formula feel more cushioning and less drying, while a peptide is included to work alongside it. Together with the oil free and alcohol free base, this points to a toner built for comfort and hydration rather than surface exfoliation, which fits its calming and soothing positioning.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 995 ratings is already a strong score, and a reported 50,000 or more purchases in the past month puts this toner among the more actively bought options in its category. That level of current demand alongside a high rating suggests consistent, ongoing satisfaction rather than a one time spike.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner good for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is formulated to be oil free and alcohol free, and it is positioned for combination, dry and sensitive skin. The creamy, ceramide based formula is meant to calm and soothe rather than exfoliate, which is generally easier on reactive skin.
Does this toner have a scent?
No, it is listed as unscented. If you prefer a fragrance free routine or have fragrance sensitivities, that makes this an easier fit than scented toners.
Can this replace my moisturizer?
It is meant to be a toning and hydrating step rather than a full moisturizer, so most people would still follow it with a separate moisturizer. Its creamy texture does add a layer of hydration, but it is designed to work alongside your other products, not replace them.
