Mmmm... peach scent *o*


What comes after cleansing?
Scrub?! Yeah okay, but not that!
A mask?! Alriiiiiiiihgt, let's say I go wild and I don't do all that, what is there after that? Huh? ()

      Toner!
      *cough cough* All that just to tell you about the first toner from a Korean brand I have used...
      This great toner received praises from many people, so I won't write a long review or anything that could make you feel like physically harming me, I promise.


 
      To be honest I've not tried that many toners before because I didn't really care about using creams and so on until I was 19, which is bad really, but I used to buy a French brand, which was alright, but I wanted something to tighten my skin, make it firmer (if that makes any sense?!) and I wanted it to be from Korea haha
      This toner is meant to minimize shine and the appearance of pores.
      What I like the most about it is its smell though, which is not really the most important thing in a skincare product, but the smell is just amazing!
       It has this sweet and fresh peach scent which is just great to begin your morning!

       Okay, back to more pragmatic facts:

It did not break me out, which is a "yaaaaaaaaayz" factor as far as I'm concerned.
It does reduce the appearance of pores and tighten the skin, and thanks to the rice sake it contains it helps with keeping zits under control.
It leaves the skin feeling fresh, clean and plump.

       Moreover the frosted glass bottle is beautiful, which is a plus :)

       But (I know this is very immature but every time I use the word "but" I can't help seeing the minions of Despicable me laughing because someone said butt... I'm actually laughing right now... anyway...), there are some downsides, which could actually be of little importance for some but I felt like I had to share.

It can be quite drying, so don't forget to use a moisturizer after! And it might not be the best toner for people with dry skin.
When I bought it I was not all paranoid regarding ingredients as I am now, but there are actually some ingredients in that toner which I don't like.
       It contains methylparaben and silicon, as well as butylene and propylene glycol.

       Again, in one year the Korean cosmetic and skincare industry made great efforts to make its product safer and to include less potentially harmful ingredients. I bought that toner before they began doing that, that is why it contains these ingredients, but Skinfood is a great brand, which sells good quality products and now has skin friendly (is that English?!) products!

       I hope that was useful :D If you need any information don't hesitate to ask!

                                                       Talk to you later!
