As you can see, there is a film of oil on top of the solution which is quite odd compared to what I'm used to in a toner. However as this is used to combat combination skin, I have noticed my T-zone is less oily and shiny throughout the day and my face still feels supple and soft.
My brother also happens to have the same skin type as me and we tend to share our skincare items (as well as cosmetics :P). Not only have I noticed an improvement, but he has as well in his skin. He has mild eczema on his face and this toner has certainly reduced his flare ups.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: [mal:gem] is a Korean word for cleanness, clarity and pureness. Skin Malgeum hypoallergenic toners promote clean, clear and pore complexion with moisturizing and pore cleansing formulas.
HOW TO USE: As the toner is separated into two layers, I shake the bottle until the layers are all mixed and place the toner onto a cotton pad. I swipe this all over my face and then continue with my usual skincare routine.
SCENT: What I first noticed about the scent was that it was not as "chemical" compared to my Biore Triple Action Toner. There is a slight citrus/maple syrup scent which I don't mind and its not overly powering.
PACKAGING: When I first looked up images of this product, I expected a glass-like bottle but what surprised me is that its made of plastic! It's definitely sturdy and I like the screw top lid as with my previous toners, sometimes I tend to break the capped lids :(
OVERALL: For those of you with combination/oily/sensitive skin, I highly recommend this toner. As it promises, the skin[mal:gem] Essential toner does 'promote clean, clear and pure complexion' and it certainly reduces oil production. One little thing I do miss compared to the Biore Triple Action toner is that refreshing feeling afterwards after cleansing, but I think that mostly has to do with the witch hazel in that product.
RATING: 8/10. Definitely will repurchase :)
For those of you with dry, normal or oily skin types, there are also other toners/astringents suitable for you in the skin[mal:gem] line.
