FEEL REFRESHED BUT NOT A WONDERFUL TREATMENT

When buying sprays you really shouldn't expect the stunning results you should expect from a regular facial. I have a lot of skincare knowledge, I've done some research and tested a lot of different products and I can tell you this is a good all-purpose facial spray and not a toner. I have very dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin, but my skin has changed a lot over the past few years thanks to extensive research and knowing how to properly care for my skin. THE SCIENCE: This product contains approximately 10% Centella Asiatica leaves. Water dilutes water in large quantities. This means that 10% of the less concentrated form of Centella has been added to this product, making it even less concentrated. Although Centella is an effective remedy for burns, scars, etc. (similar to aloe), this less concentrated form does not provide the desired benefits. There was a study that showed that Centella 0.2% CONCENTRATE applied topically to rats generally increased cell turnover and improved antioxidant levels in newly formed tissues. This means it didn't need a particularly high level of Centella to work on the skin. However, take this information at your own discretion as this was not the most extensive study ever conducted and I am only providing it to provide insight into Centella's performance itself. USE: I have been using this product for several weeks. and I like to spray it after applying my final step in my skincare routine. It makes me look hydrated and my face feels softer. This is just my personal experience and there may be several other factors why my face appears softer. I wouldn't use it as a tonic either. The term "toner" is used very openly. Sometimes people confuse toners with the purpose of removing excess dirt and makeup from the skin, which is completely wrong. Just use this to refresh your face from time to time. There is no harm in using it unless you are allergic to Centella.
