very hydrating and absorbs super quick. it does leaves a slight layer of moisturizing film after. the scent of lavender oil is a bit strong and some might find it bothersome, i'm personally find with it cuz it doesn't linger and I didn't have any bad reaction to it as well. overall, this is a really great hydrating toner. won't be repurchasing this one tho since the brand just came out with an unscented and alcohol-free version, so i'll be getting that instead.
