Not What I Expected from a "Hydrating" Toner

 

 

I bought the Torriden Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner hoping it would bring deep hydration to my skin especially as the weather turned colder. Given the hype around low molecular hyaluronic acid I had pretty high expectations.

Unfortunately this toner felt like applying water with little to no lasting moisture. The initial application felt refreshing but within minutes my skin felt just as tight as before. I layered it three times as suggested by some users but even then the hydration did not last. It also did not pair well with my other products and made my moisturizer pill sometimes.

Overall this toner was a major letdown for me. It might work for someone with oilier skin or for layering under heavier products but it definitely did not deliver the deep hydration I needed. I would not repurchase it.

    Totally agree. Felt like spraying my face with mineral water — refreshing for 10 seconds and then... nada. 😕

    I think it’s a nice layering toner if you have oily skin or live somewhere humid. But for dry skin in winter? Nope.

    I finished the whole bottle and genuinely forgot I even used it. Zero difference. Would not repurchase.

    Layering 3-4 times helped me a bit but it was still nowhere near enough for my thirsty skin. Better to invest in a richer hydrating toner.

    I actually mix this with a drop of oil serum and it works better that way. Alone? Definitely too weak for me. 😅
