hey everyone.. i've been slacking. somehow i'm easily feel exhausted and both my kids are unwell again *sigh* but i still have some products to be reviewed.. probably the makeup part won't be reviewed anytime soon since i have no time to take the picture.. but i will review some of my skincare products. actually, if you've been reading my blog, you'll know that in my wish list i put etude house wonder pore freshner or the face shop 9 in 1 toner in my wish list. but turn out i pick this one to buy in full size and none from my wish list. well, to be honest, after trying the etude house sample, i think the alcohol content is quite strong for me, so i decided to skip it. as for face shop, i have to pre order it, and by the time i've finished all my toner samples, i realize i don't have any toner left.. so this one is ready stock in one online shop and i buy it impulsively.
actually, in this 90% toners series there are 3 types, witch hazel, bulgrose and camomile. the bulg rose is for radiant and soft skin (i believe it's for moisturizing, a dupe for famous rose water), camomile for soothing, and witch hazel for sebum control and pore tightening.
this is the description from en.koreadepart: 3rd cleansing + skin booster + skin pacifier + pH balance controller. witch hazel 90% controls sebum and cares the pores. removes pore secretion and wastes. preserves water balance and makes skin firm. skin booster for next product usage. non gloss. paraben free, artificial dye free, alcohol free.
the packaging: well, i guess korean like big sizes. this toner also comes in a big bottle, 210 ml! it's packaged in a plastic bottle with big colored label outside. the witch hazel has green label, while the bulgrose is pink and camomile is yellow. it has screw top and the hole inside to pour out the toner.
the smell: i can't pick any distinct scent, but it's a good thing right? sometimes i can smell something refreshing, but not alcohol scent.
the product: it's watery, looks exactly like water and the texture just looks like water. it's easy to absorb and doesn't leave sticky feeling.
the result: i agree about 3rd cleansing part, since i can see some makeup residue traces on the cotton pad that i used to swipe the toner on my face. i've been using this for about 2 months and i believe this one helps control my sebum too. but together with my power 10 vb effector, i think it's a little bit too strong and somehow my face slightly drier than usual after using this toner. but for pore tightening, i don't think it has any effect. but some said that it has effect on her pore and not on her sebum production. oh well, the result is different for each person, so i guess you might want to try it to see the result yourself. as for anti inflammatory, since three weeks ago i started incorporating aha into my skincare and somehow it breaks me out sometimes, but it doesn't last long. only a day or two in the inflammation period and then it will fade away and started in the scarring period.
well, i'm pretty glad i buy this one. it helps with the sebum production that i need in the morning and also have anti inflammatory properties to help me with this purging. and it also comes in big size, so it will last a loooonnnnggg timeee.. and have i told you that it's cheap? well, if you have combination-oily skin and have problems with sebum and pores and acne, i think you might want to try this one. it's alcohol free! and for dry skin, i don't think this one is for you..
