Hi Everyone!
It has been a while since my last review about skincare products. I started to use this product several months ago How I have used the essence of this same brand I wanted to try this toner because I read good reviews about this product too. The acid hyaluronic is one of my favorite ingredients now because it provides a good quantity of moisture to my skin, and my skin looks healthy and pretty.
This is not a sponsored review I buy this product with my own money. I just share my review for informative purposes only. The toner in my life has not been so important respecting the skincare but I guess that is because I have not found the right toner for my skincare before. In the past, I was always looking for toners with good control of sebum or acné but not with the focus of moisturizing my skin. But now I have sensitive combination skin I feel How my skin needs more moisturizing and If I don't have enough moisture my skin is gonna look dull and dry and I don´t want that.
Features
A moisture-bomb toner contains 3 different types of hyaluronic acid that fills up your dry and tired skin with moisture.
Light texture toner which is absorbed into the skin quickly.
Supplies fresh moisture to dried skin and maintains skin to be moist for a long time.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Chemistry and physicochemical properties. HA is a non-sul-phated GAG and is composed of repeating polymeric disaccharides of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine linked by a glucuronidic β (1→3) bond.1
In humans, HA is most abundant in the skin, accounting for 50% of the total body HA, the vitreous of the eye, the umbilical cord, and synovial fluid, but it is also present in all tissues and fluids of the body, such as skeletal tissues, heart valves, the lung, the aorta, the prostate, tunica albuginea, corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum of the penis.1
The biological function of HA. Over the past two decades there was considerable evidence presented that unraveled the functional role of HA in molecular mechanisms and indicated the potential role of HA for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for many diseases. Functions of HA include the following: hydration, lubrication of joints, a space filling capacity, and the framework through which cells migrate. The synthesis of HA increases during tissue injury and wound healing and HA regulates several aspects of tissue repair, including activation of inflammatory cells to enhance immune response.1

Conclusions
I started to share little about the chemical aspect of Hyaluronic Acid but the reason behind was this is naturally produced by our own organism. Obviously when I talk about the ingredient in this toner like in almost all the skincare products is synthetic. It is important to know that in our skin this is the key to main the hydration in our skin. And due that is that the skin looks healthy and refreshed after applying a product with this ingredient. The benefits of this ingredient are that heps to the skin heal faster, helps to maintain in good condition our skin barrier and that occurs because this helps to store the hydration.
This toner contains good ingredients like Glycerin and Panthenol that are amazing providing moisturizing to the skin too. So this toner is a great option If you are looking moisture for your skin. Now I want to share my personal experience with this toner.
I started to use this product for around five months ago my first impression was this is so lightweight is like a liquid jelly toner. Has that jelly feeling but is not so dense and when is applied feels so lightweight and I love that type of texture so I can feel comfortable applying the other products of my routine. The absorption is quick so I don´t lose anything of time and in just two minutes I can start to apply my essence or serum depending on the day.
This toner has a content of 200 mL but you can find a version of 400 mL my only issue with this is that using regularly every day is hard for to me use the 200 mL in less than 6 months because this product expires after opened in 6 months which is sad.
For my sensitive combination skin, this product is perfect because it provides me enough quantity of moisture that I am looking for but doesn´t feel heavy on my skin. By the way, If I want more moisture I apply another layer but like I am going to apply a moisturizing cream (light but moisturizing in the end) in my routine this step is not necessary. This is the perfect toner If you have normal, oily, or combination sensitive skin like mine. Talking about sensitivity this toner is perfect for those days when my skin is more sensitive than usual like I am in my premenstrual time. My advice is not to apply this toner like the only source of moisturizing you need something to seal this moisturizing effect.
On another side I apply this toner with my clean, washed bare hands for me is a waste using cotton just a few drops are enough for my skin face and my neck. I need to repurchase this product again. Now there is a version plus and I want to try that one and of course I hope to share my review with you. After several months using it I can say that my skin feels and looks more hydrated, smoother, and brighter.
