It costs 980 yen for 400ml in Japan. According to the description, it uses natural water from Iwate Prefecture's Fukaura and provides a moisturizing, dewy effect for dry skin. The transparent plastic container has markings in 100ml increments. While it is primarily used for wiping, it can also be gently patted into the skin at times. Although a Japanese product, it is free of colorants, fragrances, mineral oils, parabens, and alcohol. I was also pleased that it does not contain BHT. It is labeled as a mildly acidic toner. While an allergy test was conducted, it is noted that it may not be allergen-free for everyone, so caution is advised when selecting it. The scent is fairly neutral, with only a slight cotton pad smell. After using this, the chin, lower cheek, and side cheek areas feel smooth. It does not leave an excessively sticky feeling. Even if breakouts occur, it does not seem to be due to this toner. As described as a 'moist, dewy' type, it has a light, watery texture that leaves a slightly slippery, moisturized feeling on the skin, indicating the presence of hydrating ingredients. After using it for nearly 4-5 months, the toner is down to less than 100ml, which seems to be a sufficient amount for at least a season's worth of use, even when shared with a sibling.
ConsI would not recommend using this toner as the sole product. While the ingredients are good and it is not too heavy, there is still persistent thick flakiness on the forehead, T-zone, and cheeks. This suggests the hydrating ingredients may not be strong enough. The dryness is so irritating that scratching causes flaking, and even without scratching, the cold weather causes flaking, especially on the T-zone, which then leads to irritation and breakouts. Lately, the breakouts have subsided, but the flakiness persists. After wiping and gently patting the toner in, there is a slight increase in surface-level moisture, but the flakiness remains. Over time, there is a sense of increased oiliness, but it's unclear if this is from dehydration of the inner layers or just surface dryness. When first using this, there were instances of it unexpectedly splashing out when saturating the cotton pad, and this occasional splashing still occurs, making it a bit difficult to use.
TipI understand it has been tiring and difficult lately, so you've only been able to apply the toner without doing a full makeup routine. The second photo shows a list of 15 ingredients. The transparent packaging made it easy to read the ingredients in the store, which must have been quite an eye-opening experience. The extract is listed as being from the 'Ōshima Citrus' (王橘), which is translated to 'grapefruit seed extract' in Japanese. So it seems the 'Ōshima Citrus' is a type of grapefruit. Your sibling has been using the 'Sappari' (さっぱり) type, which they went through almost entirely in about half a year, so you got them another one. 'Sappari' means refreshing, crisp, or lightweight, so it's likely a less viscous formulation and finish compared to the one you're using. The 'Sappari' type seems more suitable for combination to oily skin types.
