[REVIEW] Skin Food Premium Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Toner

Hi guys! Happy March Month! 

Last week, I went and purchased this product from Skin Food and I received a membership card from Skin Food for spending over $40! Yay, me?

Anyway, I purchased this alongside with an exfoliator which I will be posting really soon, so stay tuned.
So basically, my previous post on my Isofurabon Toner from Japan Review wasn't really a positive review as because it caused me break-outs so I decided to stop using the product. I went ahead and bought this instead.

This toner basically balances your pH level for your skin and it double cleanses your face (basically it means washing off any sunscreen or make-up product away). No matter how many times you cleanse your face with a facial cleanser, the toner will do a better job since it is a 'double cleanse' product.

There were 2 facial toners on display in Skin Food. Lettuce and Cucumber and another one, Tomato. As a Science student, tomato is very acidic and it may (somehow) damage your skin or it'll be a bit too strong for your face, so I purchased the Lettuce and Cucumber toner because it's more mild and it's not too strong for my skin.

  • Review:
I love how soft and fresh it left on my skin. It's very nourishing and cooling as well. Once, I had make-up on (since it was Chinese New Year), and after cleansing my face, I applied this toner and I noticed there was a patch of BB Cream left on the cotton pad. Double cleansing? Yes, it works.

I also love the packaging. It may look like a medicinal bottle, but it doesn't bother me. It's easy to hold, the quality of the plastic is quite goof and basically, it seals better than my Isofurabon Toner. Who knows the toner may spill all over the place, which leads you to purchasing another toner.

  • What does it do to your skin/face?
As I said before, it balances the pH level of your skin (cleansers are alkaline while toners are acidic). Your face needs to reach to the neutral level, which is pH 7. Your face (generally) can't be either too alkaline or too acidic. It needs to be balanced. Not only that, it double cleanses your skin (similar to a cleanser) and removes any extra residue like make-up and sunscreen.
  • How to apply it onto your skin/face?
Basically, it's the easiest thing to do in my skin care routine. Just grab a cotton pad (one cotton pad, I repeat) and apply a generous amount of toner. Apply it until it is the size of a 20 cent coin or a penny. As for this product, I need to hit it onto the cotton pad 5 times (you can't squeeze it). Massage your whole entire face with the cotton pad at least 3 times, until you can't feel any signs of wetness on the cotton pad. Then, throw it away. If you have thick make-up on you, please do this twice.

  • Where can you purchase this product?
- Skin Food (any store, basically). You can also purchase this product from G-Market and Koreadepart.

  • How much was it?
-$25.50BND.

Overall Comment:
It made my face clearer, high pigmentations GONE within a week, double cleansed my face, felt fresh and nourished. Basically, I have no problems with this product. Usually, when you use new products, your face tends to grow more pimples and you'll suffer with high-pigmentation for at least a week as because your face skin cells is not used to the new product, but once I used this product, the blemishes just disappeared in a matter of a week. Will definitely purchase this product again. Even my mom noticed my face cleared. Haha.

Rating: 5/5

    1. Hi Emily! Thanks for commenting! It is quite scented and I don't really recommend this toner to those who have super sensitive skin (as in lots of acnes, pimples, blackheads, etc.) as because it is too mild and subtle, and it might not be effective (but everyone has different skin types so it might not or might work for your skin, you can give it a try). I recommend a toner that's more richer like Son&Park's Beauty Water or Mamonde's Rose Water as well as a Western product like Kate Somerville's Nourish Hydrating Firming Mist. Hope this helps! ^^

    1. Hi there! ^^ I recommend the Tomato Toner as it works well for people who have oily skin, though I can say from other people's reviews, it might have a slight hint of alcohol (which means it might not be suitable for those who have sensitive skin), but you can try it out. Everyone's skin is different. :) Glad I could help!
