The Face Shop: Pore Minimizer Controlling Toner with Powder

Price range: P700+ (130 ml) (Sorry I always forget the price ;P)

Consumption rate: At twice a day usage, it can reach a month.


How to use: There's powder settling, so shake well before use.

Being on the pore-minimizer side, I expected the toner to well, minimize pores, haha. Though that's really difficult to deliver here in Manila due to the temperature, at the least I expected it to even out my skin tone, ie     have a matte-ish effect, regardless of whether my face gets oily or not. Also, it should help control minimize breakouts at the least. But for the price, I really ought to expect more.

With my minimum expectations, I have not seen any change in my skin texture. Though there was a period that my breakouts stopped, I could not be sure it was because of the toner (because the streak ended, and I got complete sleep that week ;P)

And oh, the powder did not give any matte effect (at least on me).

It's not alcohol-free, though it doesn't sting and has a very mild and relaxing scent.

However, I have already moved on from this toner, and see if any difference will be noticeable. I think that the price is too much for what it can do.

I give this a 3 out of 5 for at the least not triggering any breakouts and help minimize them a little.

(Note: My facial skin type is combination skin, and is partly sensitive. I am prone to breakouts which I partly attribute to stress and the often skipping of the night time face washing, though I have my good skin days too.)
