The Face Shop Clean Face Mild Toner Review

WHAT: The Face Shop Clean Face Mild Toner, 130ml
PRICE: 300 Php at Althea Korea (currently sold out)

Hello, friends! I got this toner last year as a part of Althea's Mystery box promo. I have recently emptied it and I think it's time to share my experience.

Ingredient Analysis

The key ingredient of this toner is Tea Trea Leaf Extract which has antibacterial and astringent properties to repair the skin. Because of this, the toner is recommended for people with oily skin and for those with acne.

The screw cap. Expiry date at the bottom.

Regarding the packaging, the product is housed in a thick beige bottle with minimal design. It feels heavy and coupled with the minimal look, it seems more expensive than it actually is. I like it. Anyway, it has a screw cap with a standard hole on top. The toner did not come in a box but it was wrapped in thin plastic.

MY EXPERIENCE

The Face Shop Clean Face Mild Toner
pH Test results - around 5.5pH

The toner is thin and watery with a mild tea tree scent. It can pick up dirt and residue but doesn't leave my face feeling tight and dry. According to my test, its pH is around 5.5 - definitely mild enough for sensitive skin! (Sidenote: always patch test and don't use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.)

I consider my skin as normal/combi and I only have the occasional zits. As such, I can't really comment on its healing properties. However, I did notice softer skin and less oily T-zone during the time of use.

FINAL VERDICT

The Face Shop Clean Face Mild Toner performed like how I think a toner should perform. It effectively removed dirt left during washing your face while still being mild and not stripping. I can't vouch for it's acne-healing claims but I think you can use this as a basic low-pH toner. 

Tried this? I would love to hear about your experience with it!
