I got a sample of this toner from a local health store a couple of days ago and has been using it once a day ever since.
The toner works pretty wellgetting rid of flaky skin caused by retin a and it does not leave my skin tight and feeling weird(this is important for me since my skin has tendency to be dry).
However, this toner smells kinda bad. It kinda reminds me of ACV toner, and it stings a bit when I have open wound (from popping pimples). Maybe it is from the AHA.
Overall, I think it is a pretty good product, however, for the price, I do not think it is worth it and will not repurchase

Thank you Roadtonowhere - I'm quite intrigued about the Astara products at the moment, masks in particular. Sounds like you're not "wowed" by this though. The stinging does sound normal for an AHA product on an open wound (I think the recommendation is that you avoid open wounds).

Mabsy: Unfortunately, I am not very impressed with it. I really wanted to like it a lot because they sell it in a local pharmaca here, but for what I have experienced, I cannot justify spending the money for it.
