To tone / To moisturize
I have been using this one for years! I always buy the bigger size because its a lot cheaper by the ml. This toner has no alcohol, and it is very moisturizing. Very gentle for dry and acne-prone skin!
I got this in a travel size from Sephora, and it has became a new favourite. I use it as an essence, right after toner in my morning / pre make up routine. It's a bit thicker than the toner but still watery and absorbs instantly. It helps my makeup t...

I got this a few months ago from my trip to Japan, and I was blown away by it. I was hesitate to get it because of the price, but after I tried it, I regret not getting it sooner! The operation is straight forward, and the warmth feels soothing and r... tighter pores. It is a little bit pricey, but I feel like it is a new chapter for my relationship with my skin, and I will use it consistently because I want to be able to care for sagging as I age.
