Sharing my thoughts on Etude House's Soon Jung pH5.5 Relief Toner.
What it claims?
This clear, watery toner comes with a pH of 5.5, making it ideal even for those with sensitive skin. Ingredients such as panthenol and madecassoside help soothe, protect and heal damage to skin caused by environmental pollutants and dryness. Used after cleansing, the toner restores skin's oil and water balance and strengthens the skin's lipid barrier.
Why I bought this toner?
I was looking for a hydrating toner, with no alcohol and fragrance, and I found this toner! It contains great ingredients. After reading some few reviews, I decided to buy it. I bought from shopee, RM31 for 80ml.
Ingredients
WATER, PROPANEDIOL, GLYCERIN, BETAINE, PANTHENOL, MADECASSOSIDE, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS ROOT EXTRACT, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, CARBOMER, POLYGLYCERIN-3, DISODIUM EDTA
There are only 14 ingredients, with no alcohol and fragrance. There's also a lot of hydrating ingredients such as propanediol, glycerin and panthenol which also knows as pro-vitamin B5 and it is one of the best humectant (ability to attract and hold moisture). It also contains soothing ingredients such as madecassoside (which also known as pegaga), green tea extract (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that also have anti-oxidant properties. Yeay for the ingredient!
Packaging
It comes in a 80 ml transparent square plastic bottle with a white screwable plastic cap. The packaging is simple a straight forward, semua details ada dekat packaging. I don't really like penutup macam ni sebab ada potensi nak hilang (my forever problem). Nak tuang product senang sebab lubang dia just nice je untuk product keluar.
Texture
The texture is very light, almost like water and absorbs easily without any sticky feeling.
Scent
Since it contains no fragrance, there is no noticeable scent.
My thoughts
I normally use this toner without any cotton pad sebab malas and I suka tuang atas tangan and dab dab dekat muka. I guna ni after cleanser, 2x sehari.
Cleanse - exfoliate (kalau ada) - Etude House Soon Jung pH5.5 Relief Toner (apply 3 kali like the 3 skin method) - essence/serum (kalau ada)
I love the ingredients, the texture and the no-scent smell. This is like one of the perfect hydrating toner me, with makes my skin feels really hydrated and supple. For a little extra feeling in case kalau ada redness, boleh letak dalam peti and pakai sejuk sejuk. Best!
Recommended for?
People with dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin, that needs a good hydrating and soothing toner.
Who will not love this?
People with high expectation, since this a just a hydrating and soothing toner.
Repurchase?
Yes!
That's all, thanks for reading!
