I bought this as a replacement for my Hanaka hyaluronic acid moist toner which I can't get anymore. I thought it would be similar but I was so wrong. Consistency wise it's very thick and the fragrance is just too strong. It doesn't take too long to soak in but sometimes it feels like it's just sitting on the skin rather than soaking in. It's tacky as you apply it and I have to wash my hands after because they are too sticky to apply anything else. Personally these qualities are not what I look for in a product that i'm applying first after cleansing, maybe an essence or serum yes but not in a toner. If you want a hydrating toner on a budget it's ok but there are better ones out there. Question is how am I going to use this thing up now??
