My Experience with Biotique Cucumber Water Toner:
I like this toner mainly because it is natural based. It is extracted from all the natural herbs which looks very exotic. It is alcohol-free and I did not experience any jarring effects on my skin . However when I first use the Cucumber water, I felt a slight cooling/ stinging sensation initially. But, the feeling subsided after about 1-2seconds. I guess the stinging sensation is sort of “repairing” my oily skin, and to tighten my 24 hour active oil secreting pores. It does not feel like astringent, not harsh to my eyes also. When you apply an ordinary low-based astringent or other toners which claims they are alcohol-free even if they are not, it gives you a painful reaction to your eyes. I am glad that this one does not cause my eyes harshness. But the most important thing about this toner is its ability to control oily skin and further prevent it. We all know that cucumber minimizes the production of oil in skin which in turn eliminates the oil eventually.
Pros of Biotique Cucumber Water Toner:
· The greatness of cucumber offers soothing effect on the skin.
· It is definitely skin clearing. It makes my skin appear clean and soft and free from any blemishes, but not 100%. Although it serve a great extent to what it claims.
· It supposedly helps to reduce oil which clogs the pores and therefore helps to reduce the oiliness on the surface of the skin. Even three hours after washing my face & applying the toner, I notice that my face is still shine-free and my nose is less oily than before.
· Another good thing about this toner is it is made from natural ingredients and there were no harmful elements in the product
· It is alcohol free.
· The best part is the smell is not too strong & it doesn’t irritate my nose.
· All throughout the day my skin is less oily and more tolerable.
· The price I paid for this one is 149, which is good because it is not expensive but it does what it claims.
· I am acne-prone, but thank goodness it does not cause me to break out.
· Boutique, does not conduct cruel tests on animals.
