Some background on my skin before I review my experience with the product: I have combination skin- oily in the T-zone, dry everywhere else, and sensitive skin around my mouth and chin.
The Beyond Phyto Aqua Toner is a product I stumbled on to while looking a Korean skincare products. The toner's formulation and ingredients are touted to maintain or increase the moisture of your skin. The formulation is also meant to mimic the skin's natural moisturizing factors to help boost hydration. It contains hyaluronic acid, which is an ingredient that aids with keeping the skin plump, hydrated, and aids with collagen synthesis.
As a person that just seems to have naturally dry skin (minus the T-zone), this sounds like something that would benefit me. I bought this and incorporated it into my routine (day and night) for more than a month. During that time, I noticed that it was very suitable for my skin type. My T-zone wasn't super oily/shiny at the end of the day, my skin wasn't like a desert, and it didn't cause any issue with my sensitive chin area. I've also noticed that my skin definitely feels a bit more moisturized and smooth after putting on the toner and letting it absorb. It didn't make my face feel tight, flaky or bumpy. In comparison to the Thayer's Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner, this definitely left my skin feeling more moisturized and more smooth/even.
Even during the times my skin dried out because of products with denatured alcohol, this toner has helped to slightly reduce the dehydration in those areas. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to a friend.
