I had learned about the importance of using a toner years ago, and I was using a great product, Skintelligence pH Normalizing spray. While I really enjoy that product, I thought I'd give this a shot. I use many of the other LDV Hommes products. The one thing that really stands out to me is that there is plenty of product in this jar, where the pads stay moist. Nothing worse than buying facial pads but they are dried out by the bottom of the canister. I also have found that my skin is tighter without being dry from this product.
