Benton

Creator self-purchased and nearly finished the toner, calls it reliable and efficient, says it leaves her dry skin soft and smooth with a non-sticky natural finish, works daytime/evening, and rates it 8/10. She says it is less hydrating than Dr. Ceuracle Kombucha and I'm From Rice Toners, is not a must-have for her, and is unsure about repurchase.

After three to four weeks of twice-daily use, creator reports improved hydration, more even tone, and controlled redness. On combination skin that can be oily yet dehydrated, it helps retain hydration and layers with every skincare product without pilling, residue, or stickiness. She totally recommends it as easy to integrate and affordable.

Creator reports no white cast and, despite mildly sensitive skin, no irritation, stinging, or eye sting. She finds its scent non-overpowering, texture light and watery, quick absorbing, and nearly weightless on skin.

Although hydrating, fragrance-free and peptide-rich, creator says bee venom does not work with her skin, dislikes witch hazel, calls it boring for summer, and eliminates it from the summer-toner race.
