良い点The Secret Key Aloe Soothing Moist Toner was the first K-Beauty product I ever bought in January of this year. Intrigued by its claims to be soothing, skin softening and suitable “for all skin types” I set off to find a reputable source. I hovered over yesstyle.com for weeks but the product never came back in to stock. This was promising for me. Products that are out of stock are obviously popular! I am on to a winner, I can tell.
Not able to source it from yesstyle I bought the toner from Amazon. It was from an independent store on Amazon so I ran the risk of not knowing if the product was authentic but I risked it for a biscuit. I know a good deal when I see it (or so I thought)- 248ml of “soothing” toner for £13.65. I thought what the heck and added it to my cart. Several weeks later it arrived so it must have been on the slow boat from Korea.
So off to a good start with the quantity and price. A good place to start with Korean skin care I thought, especially as I planned to use this in layers as they do in 10 and 12 step Korean routines.
So the application experience is messy if you apply it by hand. You can use a cotton pad but I never did this. I’m not wasting precious toner! FYI, it runs everywhere if you just use it on your hands and dab it on to the skin in layers like you do with an essence. There was no stinging to the skin or eyes, no burning, no tingling. My plan was to decant it in to a spray bottle for easier application.
The texture of the toner is clear, thin and lightweight, almost like a slightly heavy water texture. After about 20 to 30 seconds it absorbs in to the skin. I am trying this product again as I write to have a very up to date review!
悪い点So to summarise, yes, maybe I am allergic to one of the “good” ingredients. Maybe I am allergic to one of the filling ingredients. Disodium EDTA may have increased the potential for any ingredient to penetrate deeper and cause a skin reaction. However, I think it is likely I am allergic to one if not all of the ingredients used primarily for preserving and fragrancing the product. I have to bare in mind that I also bought this from Amazon and it may not be a genuine product.
おすすめThis hasn’t been a winner for me but it doesn’t mean the product will cause any reactions for others. It’s worth a go as the list of beneficial ingredients is impressive. For the price, you have little to lose and beyoutiful skin to gain
