Good to know it’s alcohol free :D

Also, love Kiehl’s products, so thanks for the tip on Rosewater Facial Freshener!

I tend to flip around a bit.

Right now I’m using Mary Kay’s Purifying Freshener, which is what I grew up with my mom using. It’s alcohol free, so it doesn’t strip my skin of moisture, but gets the job done.

Sometimes I use Sephora’s Professional Flawless Toner, which is also alcohol free (and on sale right now! $4!). During the summer because it’s particularly nasty and humid up here I frequently switch to Kiehls’ Rosewater Facial Freshener which does have alcohol. I usually only use it at night, when my face feels particularly grubby. Even though it does contain alcohol, I don’t find it as drying as some of the other toners with alcohol out there.

Interesting!! Thank you for sharing your information, Mariah :) I’ve read a lot of mixed messages when it comes to how essential toner is, too.

I wonder what the “real” answer is, lol.
