the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a light blue box with big transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything inside from the outside. there's ingredients of everything inside at the back of the box. the toner also comes in light blue plastic bottle with light blue plastic screw cap. there's another ingredients list printed at the back of the bottle as well. the mini size is basically the miniature of the full size one. the opening of the toner is the usual size, however, the toner doesn't come out easily and i have to shake it so the toner will come out. the sample size comes in 20 ml while the full size one is 80 ml.

the scent: i don't think this one is scented, but at least it doesn't smell bad. 

the product: it's a watery type toner so it looks like water and liquid like water. since it's liquid like water, it's absorbed into my skin quickly. it doesn't leave tacky feeling afterward. i have to say that i'm surprised to learn that i need to use more than somethinc toner to get the level of hydration that i want, so obviously, i finish it pretty quickly. i use it up in 6 days so yeah.. that was quick.

the result: aside from hydrating and a bit moisturizing, i don't feel anything else. mainly because it's finished too quickly. as for the soothing properties, i can't say for sure since i also use soothing serum sometimes, but during using this toner, my acne is not flaring mad, so it must've been working somehow. 

i have to say that i'm not that impressed with the toner. considering how the moisturizer gets the hype, i thought the toner would be at least impressive. but turns out that it's just mediocre. i'm not saying that it's bad, it's just not impressive. i think i like somethinc toner better than this one. however, this toner is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive one. however, i don't think dry skin will like this as this is quite lightweight. as for me, definitely i won't repurchase it nor buy the full size one.
