Good, but didn't like the feeling afterwards

Toner is probably one of the most important steps of my morning and evening skincare. It leaves my skin with a clean-feeling and ready for next products. So I like to experiment with different toners, targeting different skin concerns, mostly acne scars and pimples. I had a high expectation of the @renskincare Glow Tonic that it would become stable in my routine same as more affordable products like Pixi and The Ordinary ones. I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately, I couldn't.

It did not help with my hyperpigmentation, acne scars, redness and hormonal breakouts. Nothing changed in the slightest. However, it may have added a little bit of radiance to overall appearance the morning after. But actually, any average skincare products with active ingredients is able do this to my skin.

Another thing I hated was that the really sticky film it leaves on my skin after application and that does not quickly absorb. So uncomfortable and annoying. It also felt extremely heavy every time I apply it with cotton pad. It has a horrible and weird orange-y smell. Would not repurchase. If you have sensitive skin and thinking to give it a try, be cautious, it was really harsh and gave tingly feeling even to my not so sensitive skin.

Harsh Toner

I got this sample of this toner/tonic. I normally don’t use toners in generally because I have sensitive skin and can get irritated easily. It has acids in it but is also supposed to hydrate the skin. Unfortunately My skin became red and dry immediately after using it. It got raves and I’m sure this product would be great for others but not if you have sensitive skin like mine.
