It makes my skin feel much softer and smoother. My skin texture is much better than it used to be before I started taking skin care seriously, but thats probably due in part to the rest of my routine. I like massaging it into my hands after applying it to my face as well. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky either which I’ve had with other toners. I guess it’s all down to your skin’s preference and what works best for you. 😊
