skinfood fresh apple sparkling pore toner

hi everyone! i've been trying to keep my pace in trying new stuff, and it's pretty hard since i don't have the luxury of time to use my usual skincare regime.. but i keep trying.. for now, i'm in a toner trial marathon, and i have no idea if i have another toner to try.. i haven't looked at my stash yet. but for now, i can clearly say that i've finished another toner and ready to make complete review. for you who haven't known my purpose, i'm looking for a toner that's suitable for combination oily skin, preferably one without alcohol. but so far, only the nature republic one that doesn't contain alcohol. both skinfood and etude's had alcohol in them.
okay.. so i am certain that skinfood has sparkling apple line and smooth apple line, but i'm not so sure now since i can't find the difference between those two. and now, skinfood has separate apple line for men. oh well, let's talk about the toner, shall we?

the packaging: the full size bottle is made of glass, and some said it's difficult to get the product out. the sample sachet however, is shaped like apple.
the smell: it smells a bit fruity and though it's nice, i can smell a bit of alcohol inside it.
the product: it's a clear toner.. just like water. it absorbs quickly onto my skin. one sachet can be used twice, but since it's difficult to transfer it to a clean bottle, so i use it straight from the sachet. but.. since i have a very curious toddler, having an opened sachet is a big no-no. so i use it all at once. a bit too much for me in one use.
the result: this toner can help get rid of sebum and oil and probably some dirt on my face. not too drying, but if i use it too much, i can feel it become drier afterwards.

overall, if you have extremely oily skin and don't have problem with alcohol, then you might like this one. but for me, i think i'll try my luck on faceshop toner first then if i don't like it, i will decide between etude or skinfood.
