I just recently returned from a study abroad trip in italy, and this product is one of the gems I brought back with me. Having packed no toner or astringent, i picked up this bottle, attracted to the cobalt blue color, and paid approximately $4US for what has been one of my favorite products to date. It is incredibly light, the rose scent is gentle, and it takes off all the filth and makeup of the day without leaving my skin dry and deprived for moisture. It is so gentle, in fact, that i can use it whenever my skin needs a little pick me up, more nourishing than a splash of water. I use it every morning and every night, and sometimes in between. I'm sad that I'll have to pay twice as much for it now, but I cant imagine living without it!
