Love this stuff!
My 75 year old skin loves this toner! I've never been a believer in toners until I tried this -- only used about 1/4th of the bottle, but I already see improved texture and reduction in dark spots. Thanks to the Ordinary!

Heartbroken & Confidence down the drain.
If I could give this product zero stars, I would, I've had clear skin for years. I decided to include this toner in my routine since the ordinary products usually work well with my skin, not even after two weeks of just using this toner, my cheeks and jaw and chin broke out in hundreds of bumps. I don't even know what they are, but it accidentally ruined my confidence as someone who's been told they have nice skin for years. I currently have a hard time looking in the mirror. I was so in shock that this happened to me. I've haven't left the house. I've been skipping class. The bumps stopped as soon as I stopped using this toner. Mind you, I've only used this toner for a week for two weeks before this happened and my skin was clear for years before using this toner. I'm honestly heartbroken and don't know what to do.

Not for me
Dislike the smell and although it was not bad, I would not buy again.

Not for people with rosacea
I love all products from The Ordinary, but this one is NOT for people with rosacea. Even when used minimally, it aggravated my rosacea.

good, but smells bad.
I was using this daily and it seemed to be a good product. Gave good hydration and seemed to give a bit of a glow.
Unfortunately, I found out later it was giving off some odor. Was with my girlfriend who kept asking if I had been drinking milk, no.. confused I brushed my teeth and rinsed with mouthwash. Still there. Next day still there again. Oh.. milky toner. I of course couldn't smell anything...
So I was going to only use this at night, but there are other times out there that work similarly and don't. have the same smell issue.

Great product
it’s great value for the price. The texture is lightweight and milky, and I prefer applying it with my hands rather than a cotton pad so none of the product goes to waste. While it’s marketed for both day and night use, I stick to using it in the morning because it gives my skin a healthy, noticeable glow that layers well under the rest of my routine

Love this
I found this to be very gently exfoliating, hydrating and leaves skin perfectly prepped for make up. I use this most mornings and some evenings if I’m going to be using a retinal. It doesn’t have a strong smell and isn’t irritating on the skin. I’m now on my third bottle of this and will continue to use.
