Who is it for?

Anyone who likes to use a hydrating mist. :) We especially recommend Liquid Hydration, if your skin prefers multiple, light hydrating layers, is prone to dehydration, or is sensitive, or you are using strong actives (e.g. anti-acne such as benzoyl peroxide or anti-aging such as tretinoin) known to dry the skin or compromise the skin barrier.

how to use it?

After cleansing, apply mist morning and/or evening. Close your eyes and spray all over your face from about 20-25 cm (~9 inches) away. Let it sink in and follow with the rest of your routine.

If you also use a liquid exfoliant (such as Smooth Out, Cheer Up or Calm Down), we recommend to start with the exfoliant and follow with the toner spray. If you use C-Glow with Liquid Hydration, we recommend to start with C-Glow and follow with Liquid Hydration mist.

My liquid love

I've really tried dozens and dozens of toners and essences... This one is incredibly hydrating and lightweight! I already have the third pack and love it

Pure Hydration!

This toner is one of my favourite G&G products. It helps when layering different serums, for example. I also like to use it together with my ultrasound gel for ultrasound treatment to keep everything wet and hydrated.
