burns a little but definitely cleanses [SEP] i am not a toner personcall it being lazy or just not interested however i noticed my pores were huge so i decided to use the cucumber water from biotique the water has more of a lemon lime smell than cucumber yet it cleans my face and reduced the size of my pores it stings going on but is refreshing once it cools down i will continue to use this product and others from biotique because they work for me give it a try
