After checking the ingredients, I saw that it contained PEG and phenoxyethanol, which are on the list of 20 cautionary ingredients for me. So I thought it might be quite irritating to my skin if used for skincare, so I only tried it before applying makeup. First of all, it was moisturizing. Since it's meant to be used as a toner before makeup, it helped a lot in refining my skin texture, and I also felt like it helped with my skin's roughness. However, since it's just a toner, I didn't expect it to provide a lot of hydration. When I applied a water-based cream or essence on top, it seemed to create a better base for my makeup. I didn't experience any breakouts. But after using this, compared to the gentle toners I normally use, I did notice some redness on my cheeks and around my nose. After using it a few times, I stopped using it. I don't plan to repurchase this. I'll just stick to my gentle toners.
ConsIt contains PEG and phenoxyethanol. It also has the fragrance ingredient glyoxal, which is considered a high-risk ingredient even at 0.01%. That makes me a bit uncomfortable. These days, consumers are very knowledgeable about ingredients, so I wish they would avoid using those kinds of ingredients.
