Description:
- a toner that helps treat skin troubles
- Controls the production of oil/sebum
- Contains tea tree extract which kills acne-causing bacteria
- Gets rid of skin's impurities/blemishes
- Contains malt extract that calms skin
Directions:
After washing face, get adequate amount on cotton and rub out from the face to the neck area.
^^These directions were taken from The Face Shop's International website, but I personally don't really follow them ahaha. I dont use the cotton pads and instead I use my hands to gently pat the toner around my face. I dont know why....but this makes my face feel more moisturized. LOL Also, I know many people "double-cleanse". Double cleansing is when you first put the toner on a cotton pad and use the cotton to wipe your face from any remaining dirt or residue and then re-apply the toner again. I don't use the double cleansing method because I believe that if I did the face washing part accurately and thoroughly, I don't need to cleanse AGAIN with the toner. xD But it's all up to the individual's opinion. :)
Packaging:
The packaging is pretty nice. The product is in a tall orangish glass bottle. The liquid comes out easily through the hole at the top but might require you to lightly shake/tap the bottle. It would be better if it came out of a pump for hygienic reasons. But so far my only concern is that one day I might accidentally knock over the bottle and break it since I am pretty clumsy. :P
Smell/Texture:
In my opinion, the smell is pretty pleasant. I dont really know how to express how it smells like....it smells a little florally but at the same time not really florally...i dunno LOL But i can say that it smells really fresh and calming. The texture is a light, clear runny liquid. It absorbs into the skin really quickly and isn't sticky at all. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized! :D
Effectiveness:
I'm not 100% sure that this helps clear up my skin. I haven't really noticed MAJOR visible results, but Im going to continue using this and see if any improvements happen. :)
Pros:
- Didn't break me out
- Left my skin feeling really moisturized and refreshed
- I like the smell <3
- Easy to dispense out of bottle
What I didnt like:
- I don't know if it's just me, but I'm using this product up rather quickly LOL so i dont think this product will last for more than 2 months
- I didn't really see a major improvement in my acne...just didn't break me out
Total Rating= 3.5/5 Mostly lost marks on the effectiveness
Will I repurchase?
No, I don't think so. After I finish using this, I want to try Hada Labo's Arbutin Whitening Lotion ahaha I heard great things from this line. :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts too!! Feel free to leave a comment :D
