I got a sample before I went onto try the full sized version of this toner. This clearly corrective & brightening water; well true to it's name does give an impression of having a clear complexion from the first use, as it has illuminating minerals, that gives the subtle glow. But I was mostly looking out for the other main ingredients like activated vitamin C, liquorice root and white birch, which all combined together act as a good anti-oxidants plus gradually helps in clearing the skin. During a week's time that I got to try out this product, I liked that it sunk in and brightened my skin. These ingredients are effective but it does have alcohol in them, which wasn't mentioned in their website. It's common for many toners to have alcohol and this one didn't dry up my skin after toning. Since my skin could get flared up overtime, I didn't want to continue with the product. It could prove effective for someone who is very oily and needs a good toner that doesn't dry their skin,
