The Perfect Hydrating and Soothing Formula for Dry and Sensitive Skin

In conclusion, this Aromatica Reviving Rose Infusion Treatment Toner is a well-crafted natural solution designed for mature, dry, dehydrated, and/or irritated skin. The carefully selected ingredients work together to provide instant hydration and calming effects. I truly love its natural, light and pleasant rose scent. Another aspect I appreciate is how quickly the two phases blend, thanks to the product's lightweight texture.

To give you an idea, it’s more liquid than the Haru Haru Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner, but richer due to the presence of rose and moringa oils. It leaves no greasy residue, and the products I applied afterward (serums and creams) absorbed easily into my skin.

The price of the Reviving Rose Infusion Toner is €28 on Stylevana (the cheapest site), although your order may take longer to arrive. On other online retailers, it can go up to €41, but shipping is faster. It’s up to you to decide based on your budget and how fast you want to receive the product.

I hope this review of Aromatica’s Reviving Rose Infusion Treatment Toner has been helpful. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments if you need more information, and let me know which toner you're currently using!

Key Ingredients in the Reviving Rose Toner

Aromatica Reviving Rose Infusion Toner 200ml glass bottle for mature and dehydrated skin.

The Aromatica Reviving Rose Infusion Treatment Toner is a two-phase toner infused with powerful hydrating and astringent ingredients such as:

Organic Damask rose water extract (64.7% ! — hydrating)
Aloe vera (soothing)
Rose oil (anti-inflammatory and regenerative)
Moringa oil (anti-oxydant, reduces the appearance of fine lines and skin brightening)

These powerful ingredients make it an ideal product for mature, sensitive, or dry skin. When shaken, it transforms into a milky pink toner, resembling a yummy strawberry milk. It also has a pleasant, natural rose scent—delicate and not overpowering, perfect even for those who, like me, prefer neutral-scented skincare.

This toner’s combination of active ingredients provides intense hydration, which my 30-something skin absolutely loves! Not only does it hydrate, but it also nourishes the skin thanks to the rose and moringa oils. Despite its lightweight and fluid texture, the toner is rich, leaving a slight oily film on the skin (since it contains oils), but without any greasy after-effect. I also enjoyed its soothing properties during sensitive, irritated skin days, likely due to aloe vera’s humectant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Damask rose extract further softens the skin. The rose and moringa oils moisturise, nourish, and aid in skin regeneration, particularly for dry, flaky skin. Plus, the presence of oils helps seal in the moisture provided by the aloe vera and rose water.

Though not heavily promoted by the brand, it's worth mentioning that this toner contains niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient known for boosting skin radiance, maintaining hydration, regulating sebum, and combating signs of aging. Niacinamide also fights discoloration, redness, irritation, and inflammation—an impressive lineup for an ingredient that flies under the radar in the product’s marketing.

The Aromatica Reviving Rose Infusion Treatment Toner comes in a sleek, elegant glass bottle, although it can get a bit slippery when you have product on your hands. I personally would have preferred frosted glass, but that’s just a small detail. It comes in a generous 200ml size, which is quite substantial, and since the toner is rich, a little goes a long way. This bottle lasted me nearly a year as I alternated with other toners. Depending on my routine, I prefer applying this toner after my essence (when I use one), as I layer my skincare from the lightest to the thickest.

Aromatica: A Sustainable Korean Beauty Brand You Need to Know

Created in 2004 by an aromatherapist, Aromatica offers a unique blend of essential oils, botanical extracts, and natural ingredients, making it a go-to brand for those seeking clean, vegan beauty products. This eco-conscious brand is not only cruelty-free but also committed to sustainability by reducing plastic waste through its container recycling program. In fact, Aromatica launched the first-ever beauty refill station in Korea in 2020, featuring a café and an aromatherapy zone to promote a more sustainable lifestyle.

In France, where beauty standards are as high as anywhere, I used to be loyal to the Whamisa toner, another Korean brand known for its impeccable, organic formulations. While the Whamisa toner is incredibly effective, its price point (around €50) pushed me to search for a more affordable option after my beauty budget shrank when I started my handmade jewellery business (oh the joys of entrepreneurship!). In the early years, the price wasn’t an issue as long as the product was effective, and at that time, my skincare routine was still very very minimal. But after starting my business, I had to be reasonable and look for an alternative with a great formulation that works just as well as Whamisa’s toner. That’s when I came across Aromatica on Stylevana. Besides, at 35+, my combination and sensitive skin started to crave hydration, and after testing various products, Aromatica’s Reviving Rose Infusion Treatment Toner emerged as a winner for delivering intense hydration and nourishment without breaking the bank.
