Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This toner is nice and gentle. It would've been nice to see it with a spray top, but it works just as well on a cotton round or dripped onto clean fingertips. There is a slight tackiness to the formula as a result of the inclusion of aloe and hyaluronic acid. (I have found a slight tack to be common in formulations containing about 1% or higher HA.) I actually really prefer the tackiness for application under makeup, as it performs almost like a primer. However, YMMV. I took off a star for the tackiness and the lack of a spray top, as I think they will be negative points for most users. The ingredients listed on the product description page are inaccurate. Here are the actual ingredients, as per Heritage: "Vor-Mag™ Water*, Glycerin (Vegetable), Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Potassium Sorbate and Rosa Damascena (Hydroessential Rose). *Water that has been vortexed and magnetized to raise the energy to a higher vibration that we believe to be more beneficial." Now, I don't know anything about how water gets vortexed, except putting it in a glass and stirring it real fast with a spoon, but I don't think it does any harm. The rest of the ingredients are of good quality. It definitely made my skin feel plump and hydrated, and it smells nice (if you like a light floral - if you don't... why are you even reading this?). Sodium hyaluronate is a more stable, water-soluble salt form of hyaluronic acid, so don't be scared by the "sodium." It's a smaller molecule, which makes it easier to be absorbed into the skin, carrying lots of water with it. The Sodium PCA is plant derived and has emollient properties, which performs a similar humectant function. It's found in tons of products, and even in human skin. It helps the skin retain moisture, even better than glycerin. It was the addition of glycerin, sodium PCA, and HA that sold me on this product over the ever popular rosewater and glycerin, which I've used in the past.
