I use this toner twice a day in my am and pm routine. It smells awesome - I saw a lot of people complain about the alcohol smell, but I don’t smell anything else than just aloe vera. It also moisturizes my skin and adjusts pH.
I like to use it before the aloe vera sheet masks because my skin feels so hydrated and plump afterward. Sadly I can’t see any changes in my acne (and aloe vera is well known for acne treating) and it didn’t reduce my redness at all, but maybe it’s because I have only used this only for a short amount of time(around 2 weeks). There wasn't any cooling effect too.
Another thing I don't like is stickiness. I kinda feel like it's just laying on my face.
Also, it doesn’t absorb very well - I must wait for a few minutes than I can continue in my routine - and it’s kinda annoying because in the morning I usually don’t have much time and I need my routine to be quick.
Overall, I think it’s a good toner for those, who want hydration (and aren't sensitive to alcohol), but since I want from my toner a little bit more effects, I probably won’t repurchase this.
