Hey guys!
Skincare, right? We have all probably heard of toner, and what it's good for. If you haven't, I'll explain. Toner is a facial cleaner or wash that is designed to shrink pores and leave the face clean and refreshed. It's a step after washing and before serums and moisturizers. It can be applied by mist, liquid via cotton balls or cotton pads, or lotions, generally. They're great to help clarify and nourish the skin, that's why so many people recommend it and claim it's an essential part of the skin care routine. This one in particular is by Valentia, and looks like this:

This company always has such nice, sleek packaging. I love it because it looks like it's high quality. The fact that it is wonderful just adds to the greatness.
I am sure that you've heard of this brand before on here. It was one of the first companies I reviewed for back when I first started. I reviewed a Detox Clay Mask, an Eye Cream, a Facial Scrub, and now this. It's only fur products, but these products always did outstanding work on what they're meant for. With the exception of the toner, which I haven't used long enough to give a definitive answer for, these products did exactly as they should. Including the toner this time, all of these show promise and have been a joy to use.
What do I love it?
Because it's great. No, I can't say it's the best toner around, but it does hydrate, nourish, and refresh. I am hoping it also shrinks pores, but it'll take a little longer to see if it does that. I love the size of the bottle. It isn't humongous but it's big enough to give you enough product to last for awhile. Especially because it sprays a fine mist over the face evenly. It absorbs quickly and freshens up the face nicely. I use it after cleansing and sometimes through the day if I need to brighten up. It's super easy and doesn't leave any oily look or feel, and doesn't drench you.
Any dislikes?
I wouldn't say I dislike it, but the smell was a bit strong at first. My sister and I agree it smells somewhat like lemon and something else we can't put our finger on. It still smells fine, and you can't really smell too much when you're applying it (unless you apply via cotton ball or cotton pad. I can't attest for that), but if you smell it from the bottle like me, it's very strong and kind of weird. The first spray may smell strong but after that it's not all that noticeable (to me at least).
I love Valentia products, they're my go to skin product line when someone asks what I would recommend, and what I use/like most. You can find their storefront here.
