true to skin mugwort cica essence toner

since i had good experience with the true to skin moisturizer, i was curious with their other products, so the next one that i tried was their toner/essence. i didn't read any other reviews before buying this one, so it was a blind buy, totally blind. let's see how it goes.

this is translated from their website: mugwort cica soothing and hydrating essence toner formulated with natural ingredients and balanced pH with essence-like texture. with natural ingredients that moisturizes, helps to treat acne, soothes inflamed skin, your skin will be soft and moist with this toner. main ingredients: mugwort, cica, cactus extract. 

the bottle

the packaging: the toner didn't come in any box, it just came in the bottle. it's a transparent light green plastic bottle with screw cap. the body is see through so you can see the remaining product inside. there's description at the back in indonesia as well as the ingredients list. they seal the whole bottle with plastic sealing. they also seal the inner opening, so it's completely secure. it comes in 100 ml which is the usual toner size. 

description at the back

the scent: i don't think it's scented. however, it doesn't smell unpleasant, which is a good thing considering that it claims that it uses natural ingredients. somehow all natural ingredients can smell unpleasant.

the product: this is a watery type toner. it looks like water and feels like water. since it's watery, it's easy to absorbed and doesn't leave tacky feeling afterward. once it's absorbed, it gives slight sheen to skin, but nothing to glowy.

the result: even though this is watery, this packs a punch. it's still lightweight so you can still layer it up to your need. it gives hydration and a bit moisture. it's more moisturizing compared to muji toner, but i think it's comparable to erha essence, somethinc supple toner but not as plumping as studio tropik probiome. if i can describe it, this feels like water that fills your body and then slowly fills it up so you can feel yourself full. i do agree that after using this regularly, i can feel my skin softer and smoother. as for the soothing effect, it's not that recognizable. 

i have to say that this one impresses me as well. i think it's suitable for all skin type, but for dry skin, you might want to layer additional toner or serum. i have to say that even though this is watery type toner, but it certainly not unforgettable. price wise it's affordable. as for availability, i bought this from sociolla, but i think you can find them at their official stores/marketplace as well as some online stores. for me, definitely will repurchase if i ever run out of stuff to try. however, it might take awhile since somethinc just released more products. it's hard to catch up with them, really. anyway, true to skin doesn't have lots of products in their line, but so far, i like them all! hope they can expand their products in the future.
