Green Tea Daily Toner

I really wanted to like this toner - seemed perfect for calming and soothing my face. But it did the exact oppposite - my face started burning after I applied it, and it quickly became red. I do have mild rosacea but not sensitive skin, so I can't really understand why I had this reaction. I didn't apply any other product before, only cleansed my face.

The same thing happened with the Q+A Niacimide toner (but I thought then that it's too harsh) so I think I won't be trying any other Q+A toners.

I bought this green tea toner alongside Q+A's niacinamide exfoliating cleanser and the zinc PCA moisterizer just over a month ago and have been using them every day since (the toner once daily, and the others twice).

I have combination skin which is dry and oily in different areas and finding the right skin care routine has been a real challenge as I'm pretty sensitive to new products and the typical ingredients you find in toners. But Q+A has saved the day and made some products that my skin really loves.

I really love the inclination Q+A has towards using natural extracts and ingredients, as I've had a lot of trouble with normal high-street skincare brands. This toner makes my skin feel super clean and hydrated, and has a pretty neutral smell, which I really like. Oddly, it does make me feel a bit calmer after I've applied it, and is a great start to my day alongside the cleanser and moisturizer. I'm massively happy with my purchase. :)

I love nearly all the q+a products I've tried over the last year but this, and the niacinamide toner definitely did not do it for me. My face stung and went bright red with both products so there's definitely something my skin isn't loving here! Hard pass.
