Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Specially formulated to provide clean, refreshing toning without the harsh, drying effects of alcohol. It will not strip your skin of its own natural moisturizers. Special mild purifiers gently remove impurities and recondition your skin, making it feel fresh, clean and soft.

That is, if only I won’t have to worry about water bills. Gah. For now, I resort to maximising the bath in hotels so long as it’s 5-star quality. Hehe.
