Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin due to propylene glycol and aloe barbadensis leaf juice, but lacks targeted ingredients for effective oil control.
  • While it provides general skincare benefits, the formula's primary function is not aligned with addressing your oily shine concerns.

How to apply

  • Use your hydrating toner in your AM and PM routine every day to keep skin fresh.
  • Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 15.0k+ reviews

This mist is widely praised for its ability to instantly revive dehydrated skin and provide a dewy, radiant glow, making it a staple for users with dry or dull complexions. While the majority find it soothing and refreshing, a small subset of users with sensitive or acne-prone skin reported irritation or breakouts after use. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

Questions and answers

How well does Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater work for oily skin?

This hydrating toner offers moderate moisture for oily skin, but it lacks targeted ingredients for effective oil control. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients, lightweight moisture, and oil-controlling agents to properly manage oily shine.

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for oily skin?

Aloe barbadensis leaf juice and propylene glycol give your oily skin moderate hydration, but this toner lacks targeted ingredients for effective oil control. Oily skin needs lightweight, non-greasy products with oil-controlling agents and soothing ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and centella asiatica extract to manage shine without breakouts.

What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for oily skin?

Aloe vera leaf juice helps hydrate oily skin by increasing water content in the outer skin layer without adding heavy oils or modifying water loss. It is also often combined with treatments to help calm redness and reduce acne breakouts.

Clinical Pharmacology, 2018Skin Research and Technology, 2006

What does Rose Hip Extract do for oily skin?

Rose Hip Extract helps balance oily skin by keeping it smooth and soft without feeling heavy. It is unlikely to clog pores and may improve the look of everyday redness.

Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This toner goes after cleansing and before moisturizing in your morning routine, and it can also be used as part of your weekly routine after a cleansing mask. Because this spray offers only moderate hydration and lacks oil control, oily skin generally needs ingredients like niacinamide and lightweight, oil-balancing formulas to manage shine better.

Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this hydrating toner with your retinol, applying it right after cleansing and before your retinol treatment. A product of this type for oily skin needs ingredients that help balance oil and shine.

How often should I use this toner?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine, as it offers moderate hydration for your oily skin through propylene glycol and aloe. Because it lacks targeted ingredients for effective oil control, oily skin also needs a product that includes mattifying ingredients or oil-balancing agents to help manage shine.

Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This hydrating toner is unlikely to cause purging, but it may occasionally lead to breakouts for oily skin since some reviewers noted this issue. Oily skin works best with a product that includes targeted ingredients for effective oil control.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, citronellol, and geraniol).
