Love this tonic

I've only been using this tonic for a week, so I guess it's too early to see if it has any effect; however, I love the feel of it and it's non-irritating. I am glad to have it in my routine.

This review has been long overdue. I have been using this since April and I only finished it around August. I love how it felt on my skin and how light it is.
