What is this product designed to address?

According to sephora.com this is what the product is and what it does:

What it is: A toner infused with oil-absorbing Jeju Volcanic Clusters™ and silica micro-particles that help cleanse pores for a clean, matte complexion.

Skin Type: Combination and Oily

Skincare Concerns: Oiliness and Pores

Formulation: Lightweight Liquid

Ingredient Callouts: Free of sulfates SLS and SLES, parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, and triclocarban, and contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances. This product also comes in recyclable packaging.

What Else You Need to Know: This lightweight toner is infused with Jeju Volcanic Clusters™ and has a unique bi-phase formula with silica micro-particles that cleanses impurities while helping absorb oil for a smooth, supple-looking complexion.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to sephora.com:

-Jeju Volcanic Clusters™: Help absorb excess sebum.

-Silica Micro-Particles: Help absorb oil and mattify the complexion’s appearance.

-Lactic Acid: Helps exfoliate dead skin cells and minimize appearance of pores.

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as being liquid-y, like a water. It makes the skin feel soft after it dries down without any type of residue or hydration to it. 

Is it scented?

This has a clean, soapy scent. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:
I think this product works alright to tone the skin in the aspect that it softens my skin a little bit. That said, I personally don't see a difference in my pores or my main issue, which is sebaceous filaments that are somewhat noticeable. Given that I don't see this making any kind of significant difference I don't think that it's worth investing in for me personally.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
