Toners can be a great after-cleansing step to be sure you've removed all your makeup although a good cleanser and make-up remover should have already done the job well. When properly formulated, toners soothe skin and provide an extra dose of antioxidants and repairing ingredients.
This RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner is said to contain lots of antioxidants. Clear in colour, the toner has a lotion-like consistency and using it on cotton pads seem to be wasteful though thats the recommended method.
The 2 sachets I owned lasted me for about 6 days in usage. With the touted antioxidants in its ingredients and being able to reduce redness and making the skin smoother and softer, it seemed like an excellent toner, suitable for sensitive skin like mine.
However, in my case, I feel that the cleanser is doing a better job in making my skin softer and smoother while the toner did nothing much. Instead, it made my skin redder instead of reducing the redness. I have more redness along my T-zone each time I used the toner on my skin-sensitive days.
Waiting 5 minutes for the toner to sink into my skin and improving it seemed useless as it did not manage to soothe my skin at all.
On optimal skin condition ( when my skin is not having its bout of redness ), the toner works moderately well enough to provide a smooth feel.
In terms of ingredients, it contains high amounts of the antioxidants like ferulic acid, epigallocatechin gallate (the primarily polyphenolic antioxidant of green tea) as well as moderate amounts of vitamins C and E, quercetin, and pumpkin seed extract. Some well-known anti-irrtants are also present in moderate amounts, as licorice and beet root extracts.
However, due to its fatty acid contents (Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linolenic Acid) located as the 6th, 7th and 8th ingredient in the list, it may not be suitable for acne-prone skin or those with sebum overproduction skin.
You will be glad to know that this product is fragrance-free, color-free, free of harmful skin irritants and never tested on animals.
