Toners, toners, toners, oh I love them toners! Before I got so hooked up with taking care of my skin, I would always ask why use toners, what the hell are they for, what’s so important about them? You may have asked the same questions but I’ll be so happy if you’re reading this and already know what toners are for! 😉
Toner, a water-type Pokemon (LOL)! They are mostly watery-type textures but there are also the watery-gel type of toners. They may look and feel like water but I bet you they are just so much more! They are used after cleansing and exfoliation (note that you only need to exfoliate twice or thrice a week). They are used to prep your skin and your pores for the next step of your skincare routine. Think of your skin like the sponge we use to clean up dishes, if the sponge isn’t soaked in wet then the dishwashing gel won’t be easily absorbed, but if you soak in the sponge then you see the gel sink in more easily. (Tada!)
Now that you get what toners are for, let’s get into the newest toner I’m currently in love with!
SIORIS, if you want to know more about this clean beauty brand then I suggest enjoy reading until the very end.
The SIORIS Feel So Fresh Toner, as per their product description, soothes and manages sebum, pores, and dead skin cells, all at once! A fresh toner made from the citrus fruit, Jeju Pomelo. Jeju Pomelo is a refreshing and juicy mandarin grapefruit from Jeju. It is known as the Fruit of the Year that is Born in the Summer. This seasonal fruit of Jeju can only be seen in the hot, early summer. The harvest time of this fruit per year is from April to June. This product contains 85% of Citrus Natsudaidai Peel Extract instead of using purified water. This product also contains 5% of Witch Hazel Water which is good for soothing the skin and pore management, and 2% of Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract which removes dead skin cells and help with sebum management! It’s highly recommended for those with combination to oily skin!
Its pH level is slightly acidic with a range from 4.5 to 6.5, it may slightly differ due to the different seasonal production times.
Packaging
All Sioris products have this very unique packaging design. All are housed in a tube bottle of the same. The toner comes with a transparent bottle.
Texture and Scent
It has a watery-type texture. A clear, with a blue and sea green color. I don’t know how to explain the scent really, it’s not herbal nor medicinal. But the scent doesn’t linger and the scent really didn’t bother me.
Ingredients
*Citrus Natsudaidai Peel Extract (85%), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water (5%), Propandiol (2%), Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract (2%), Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Bioflavonoids, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Betaine, Sodium Phytate, Water, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Copper Gluconate (* indicates organic farming)
My Experience
This is a toner that will always be in my skincare stash. I used it twice a day every after cleansing. I sometimes skip cleansing in the morning but I’ll never skip toner. This toner greatly helped with my pores and sebum control, and because I use a lot of products to test, I realized the importance of keeping this to my routine. This one is so hydrating and it doesn’t leave any greasiness or sticky feeling when absorbed by my skin. I’m so glad this one didn’t gave me any breakouts rather it helped me get rid of possible breakouts from new products I’m using. I had no allergic reactions to it and I didn’t had irritations from using it! But is it the best toner I’ve used? – no but it’s actually a second! I’ve used this product for 3 weeks, the product’s almost out and I forgot to take photos before using them (okay I was that excited).
I got this one in a discounted price to test but its international price range is from $21 to $22, price may differ accordingly and may differ in each country.
Over-all, I love it and will recommend to those who have combination to oily skin! If you’re from the United Arab Emirates and you’re looking for a store with this product available then I suggest you follow @amara.kbeauty on Instagram because we will be the first Korean Beauty store to bring the brand to the United Arab Emirates!
PRODUCT RATING: 5/5 It’s a YAY for me!
