Long-time loves I had long heard about the magic of this lactic-acid-based toner, but I couldn’t have known that finally trying it would be like meeting a soulmate. Applied with a cotton pad post-cleanse, the toner changed my skin, ridding me of the breakouts that had always plagued my chin and making my complexion clearer and brighter overall. I couldn’t care less that it smells of vinegar; in fact, it almost makes me trust the product more because the company isn’t trying to mask it.
