I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The toner is not exciting or glamorous at all! :) Even the bottle is quite ugly even though I like orange. But that's beside the point.
- Does have fragrance, strangely sweet, but quite mild
+ Immediately, in a couple of days, relieved my dry, christmas stressed travel skin - small pimples were gone, cheeks + forehead smoother, skin didn't hurt anymore! Moisturizing and "purifying"/cleansing at the same time
+ Price point is good and the product is easy to find
+ Doesn't have fermented ingredients/anything weird derived from plants, fruits etc. that might irritate my skin
+ No alcohol, either
+ The shape of the bottle is practical

* I have to say I'm quite surprised by this toner by Neutrogena. I wouldn't have bought it myself, I received it as a gift, and after two weeks I'm already convinced about buying another bottle! Another toner of the same kind might work just as well, though.
* Better than basic micellar water to use as a (cleansing) toner, better than Garnier Micellar Water for Dry&Sensitive Skin and Lumene Klassikko/Classics Micellar Cleansing Water.
* I don't know if in actual long-term use the toner is as amazing as I've made it out to be. And of course I'll always stay on the look-out for something better or interesting.
* I would be curious to know the percentage of lactic acid and salicylic acid the toner has. Probably around 0,5-1 % or so? Maybe even less for salicylic.
Price:
About 7 € / 200 ml
Bought from:
Supermarket
Buy again?
Yes.
Worth the money?
Yes. Boring product that works, excellent back-up! I recommend Neutrogena's Purifying Toner for almost everyone. Of course it still has Butylene Glycol, Parfum etc. that not everyone can tolerate, but for basic skins like mine, it's surprisingly good.
