ULTA - SashaGrace review for Milky Toner

Given my skin type, I typically avoid "cream" or "milk" keywords in my skincare. It's too greasy, too occlusive for me. However, there are certain patches around my mouth and where I get cystic acne on my jaw that still have a dryness I didn't have before starting tretinoin 0.025%. 💓Sooo glad I found this toner! I bought it for $10 USD at Ulta. Super accessible, super affordable. 💓This kind of feels more like an essence. It is extremely moisturizing. Hydrating as well, but I choose to still apply a couple layers of toner before using just one layer of this Ulta Milky Toner. 💓The formulation contains hyaluronic acid, meadowfoam seed oil, carrageenan extract, sugar cane, things that are very good for dry skin. The carrageenan might have given me pause with my former very oily skin type, as it can be an acne-triggering ingredient, but it works very well on dryness. 💓It definitely has a viscous slip, but is very watery in consistency and does absorb pretty quickly. Like a gelly milky toner. Once massaged in, I'm left with a light layer of oil that also does sink in, but remains more surface as occlusives tend to. ✨I really love this toner for Fall and Winter, I wish I'd had this during my really flaky tret days. I probably won't need this during the Summer, but it could act as my moisturizer if anything.
