Overview
A bathroom counter after cleansing is where this toner works, wiped outward across the face on a dampened cotton pad. Cucumber extract is the listed active ingredient, and the lotion is described as an acne-healing astringent.
Cucumber extract and a plain cotton-pad routine make it easy to fit into a cleanse, tone and moisturize order. It is positioned for oil and breakouts, so very dry skin is outside its stated use, and the item form field oddly reads lotion and oil together.
Who it's for
A routine that already includes a cleanser and a moisturizer, with the toner as a middle step for shiny, breakout-prone skin. Reactive or dry skin falls outside the listed skin types, so those users should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Cucumber extract listed
- Directions given for use
- Not aimed at dry skin
- Scented with cucumber
- Oil and lotion form unclear
Performance notes
An astringent toner works on the skin surface, so what it removes depends on how much oil and residue are left after cleansing and on how firmly the pad is wiped. The listing says it reduces build up and bacteria, a maker claim with no test data. Moisturizer should follow, as the directions say.
