SkinSort community - Dry skin, June 2025 (July 2020 version)I bought this before knowing that I had dry skin, thinking that it would help with my acne. It did not help with my acne, just dried it out a lot. (#drying #irritating)
SkinSort community - Combination skin, May 2022 (March 2021 version)Too harsh. This is too harsh for my sensitive combination skin. I prefer toners I can use daily. I liked the cooling effect it gave.
