Excellent (only beneficial ingredients, proven research)

Good (mostly beneficial, not extensive research or just not quite outstanding properties)

OK (mostly thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is necessary, but not a skincare per se) 
Bad (irritants and anything bad that shouldn't be in a skincare, usually fragrance)

Discussion: 

This is quite shockingly disappointing product. Even though it is alcohol free, it contains so many irritating fragrance ingredients and essential oils, that will be very harmful for anyone. You can tell from a glance at the ingredient list, that about one third of it is marked in red (meaning ingredients have irritating qualities). Long term exposure to irritants causes low grade skin inflammation which can destroy collagen and elastin in the supportive skin structure (besides obvious redness, breakouts and allergic reaction). That can lead to premature loss of elasticity and skin aging (which is the opposite from what this product claims to do).
What's good in here? There are few moisturizing/moisture binding ingredients and also salycilic acid. But their positive effect will be completely negated by irritants. If you want a good toner with salycilic acid, you can check out Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion with 0,5% BHA (reviewed here) or Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid (available here).
Also the scent of this whole Nutriganics line is very strong and unpleasant to my taste. I had a set with face wash, toner and two creams, and I couldn't even use the face wash (and usually I'm not that picky about them), that's how unpleasant the experience was.
Full size product (200ml) retails for 16$.

Verdict:

Not recommended. Can potentially damage the skin.
In general I do find The Body Shop's skincare rather lacking.
