main ingredients:

- onsen sui: 79% onsen belgium hot spring water - is useful for cleaning skin pores effectively, preventing acne formation and soothes your skin.

- 9 layers of hyaluronic acid - 9 different layers of HA molecules can effectively penetrate every layer of the skin from the inside to the outer layer so that the skin is maximally hydrated.

- chondrus crispus/ carrageenan extract - carrageenan serves to be antioxidants that protect the skin from exposure to UV rays and pollution, help the skin stay hydrated, softens and improves skin texture.

- betaine - the chemical structure of betaine resembles amino acid glycine with three additional methyl groups (called trimethylglycine). the benefits of betaine in skin care include hydrating, soothing, as an anti-inflammatory and anti-aging to skin.

- squalane - it is a lightweight and non comedogenic oil that does not clog pores. functions as natural moisturizing factors (NMF) to maintain skin moisture and does not strip the skin. squalane also functions as an antioxidant that can prevent skin damage when exposed to UV rays, it helps to keep the skin supple, youthful and hydrated.

- niacinamide - is able to maintain skin moisture, maintain oil production, reduce hyperpigmentation, reduce redness and relieve inflamed acne. 

ingredients list: onsen sui, water, niacinamide, butylene glycol, 2 hexanediol, dipropylene glycol, chondrus crispus (carrageenan) extract, caprylyl glycol, saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) extract, betaine, sodium citrate, propanediol, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, sodium hyaluronate, citric acide, adenosine, allantoin, hyaluronic acid, plumeria alba (frangipani) flower oil, ehtylhexylglycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, caffeine, PEG-9 diglycidyl ether/sodium hyaluronate, potassium hyaluronate, tocopherol, dimethylsilanol hyaluronate, sodium benzoate.

the packaging: okay, i honestly forgot if they put plastic sealing around the bottle or not, but i'm guessing they did since there's no box. the toner comes in green plastic bottle with screw cap. the opening is closed with plastic lid that you can close back up after using the toner, so it's safe to bring with you everywhere. don't worry, i've brought this with me during travelling and it didn't burst or anything. there's description and ingredients list at the back but as usual, the font is too tiny that i didn't even bother to read it. there are 2 sizes, the full size one is 120 ml (which is plenty) and the mini one is 40 ml (again, pretty decent). i used this every day during my 10 days trip, twice a day, and there's still some left when i got home (fyi, i used the glowincpotion set on the plane because they're tiny so i can slip them into my bag).

the scent: this one is scentless and doesn't have foul scent so it's suitable even for sensitive skin.

the product: this is a watery type toner. it looks like water and quite runny like water. however, it doesn't feel like one. it has some weight into it. if i can picture it, try imagine your skin has spaces in between the cells. this toner fills the spaces in between slowly and then after it's full, you can feel your skin is plump and well hydrated. it gives hydration slowly but sure. i can use this in layers, but daily, i use two layers top. 

the result: this toner is definitely hydrating and a bit moisturizing. when i use this during travelling, the weather is pretty cool and windy before getting warmer at the end but still cool at night. usually my skin gets drier around weather like that, but i didn't experience any dryness thanks to my simple but sufficient skincare, including this toner. 

i can say that i like this toner. it gives enough hydration and a bit moisture that my skin needs. it's not too rich but it's not too watery as well. it's more moisturizing than the muji toner but not as plumping as peachy toner (totally forgot the name). this toner is suitable for all skin types. price wise, it's affordable especially since somethinc often holds sales. if you're not sure, you can always try the mini size before jumping into the full size one. at this point, i will keep buying it if i ever need travel size toner, but for full size, i have other toners that i want to try. but this one is a favorite that i'll put in my rotation list.
