hydrating toner adds moisture and other nourishing ingredients. [SEP] Nice feeling moisture boost. Lightweight, nothing oily about it to me. My dry skin loves a good hydrating toner, and this fits that need. I pat some on all over face, neck and chest. Sometimes I do this a few times to saturate my skin. Then I follow up with other products (serum, moisturizer, and/or sunscreen). Ceramides help build and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture (but be sure to lock it in with a moisturizer or an occlusive ingredient). Sedum provides intense hydration & minerals, and vitamins to the skin. So lots of good stuff going on with this toner.
