What Is It
Think of Tonic as a nutrient-rich drink for your skin. This weightless hydrating toner delivers everything your skin craves – deep moisture without the heaviness, botanical nutrients without irritation, and that coveted dewy glow without stickiness. Use it after cleansing to prep your skin for serums and moisturizers, or mist throughout the day whenever your skin needs a hydrating refresh. The result is plump, radiant skin that feels nourished and looks naturally luminous – like you just had the world’s most refreshing facial mist.

This is an amazing toner. My whole face feels refreshed when I use it, but in a gentle way, not a tingling way. I love it. It smells wonderful. I have sensitive skin and follow it with the Bare serum.

I am new to Root Science and am finding myself falling hard. So far everything I’ve tried I really love including this Tonic. I’ve always just used hydrosols for misting my face which is lovely but this Tonic feels so nourishing and hydrating. And it has a pleasant scent. I will definitely be ordering more!
Thanks Root Science! ❤️

For some reason, it took me a while to love this product but now I think it’s a keeper. I just ordered a full size when I panicked that I didn’t have enough to last during my trip to Oslo, so thank goodness the products come very quickly and always packed with care and attention. I love the clean and natural smell of this product, and it cleans without stripping. I’m a huge fan of this line now. Their customer service is also the best!

I love this product. This will be my second bottle of toner. Its not just a toner but feels more like a spa treatment for my face. After using it my skin feels calm and soft. Really pleased with Root Science products. Their products really work.
Amanda –
This is a really lovely toner. I was using plain rose water before switching to this toner, and while my skin always felt soft and hydrated, I felt like I was missing out on other benefits like pore minimization and skin tone evening. This toner accomplishes all of that!
Aimee –
This is hands down the best toner I have ever used. It actually feels more like a skincare treatment than a toner. It instantly hydrates and calms my skin, smells amazing and has a beautiful, silky texture with absolutely no stickiness. Thank you Gigja for another superior addition to my skincare routine! xo
