okay, once again, i will remind you that when i bought this toner, it was before the whole controversy arose. however, i already had my doubt about it and decided that after my last purchase, i wouldn't buy anything else from them. i have 50-50 chance with their products so somehow i became reluctant to try anything new from them. anyway, let's try this toner.

| the box with its description and ingredients list |
this is the description from their official marketplace channel: formulated with centella asiatica, it is designed to care for acne-prone skin and help reduce the appearance of new breakouts on the face. it has a lightweight and refreshing texture that easily absorbs without causing a greasy sensation. it aids in controlling excess oil and is enriched with ectoin and panthenol to soothe the skin. specifically formulated for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

| the bottle |
the packaging: it comes in sage green box with description and ingredients list on the back and sides of the box. this time, there's no telling where it was made but they clearly stated that this one is imported and the company name is clear that it was a foreign company. anyway, the toner comes in a green plastic bottle that's transparent so you can see the remaining product inside. the screw cap is opaque green. the opening of the bottle is big enough to pour the toner onto my palm. it comes in 80 ml which is not much for a toner but it's a decent size. they seal the opening with white plastic stopper but you can pull it out. the opening is big enough to pour out the toner.

| the seal |
the scent: this one is unscented but if i sniff closely, i think i can smell the distinct smell that other cica products have. like medicinal stuff. but very subtle.
 |
| the opening |
the product: it's a transparent watery toner. it looks like water and feels like water. it's really lightweight and very quick to absorbed. it doesn't leave any tacky feeling or whatsoever after being absorbed.

| how it looks like |
the result: this one is a so-so product. it's hydrating but not much. but considering how hot these past few days, it is suitable for the weather since it's quickly absorbed not doesn't leave any sticky feeling. it's very lightweight as well so it sinks in quickly. my skin has been reacting badly after my two weeks travel, however once i put on a purifying mask and using this toner, somehow it calms down a bit.

| after patting it |
i think this is a lightweight toner that will suitable for oily skin much better than other skin types. as for helping to reduce acne, i can't say for sure, but i can say that it helps calming down my skin but not entirely prevent acne from popping out again. even though it's nice, i don't think i'd repurchase this one. there are other toners that are similar to this one so i won't worry about finding something similar to this. anyway, it's affordable so if you want to try this and think that it will suitable for you then go ahead. as for me, i won't repurchase.
