Vivienne Sabo Hydrating Foundation - Surrealist
My Honest Review of Vivienne Sabo's Surrealist Toner Cream: A Mixed Bag
summarizeEditor's Summary
I tried Vivienne Sabo's Surrealist Toner Cream and it's a mixed bag. The packaging is seriously cute, but don't let that fool you – the product itself is a letdown for me. I've got problematic skin, so I rely on toners to even out my tone and reduce breakouts. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite deliver. On the bright side, the pump dispenser makes it easy to use the right amount, and the formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin. However, it's not as moisturizing as some other toners on the market, and the price is a bit steep. I'm not sure it's worth the price tag, especially when compared to other toners on the market.
