Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Soothing Toner- Review

Combination skin, scorching heat occasional visits from my age old enemy ACNE all this makes it very essential for me to have the right skin toner. Something mild yet, effective. Something soothing and non irritating. Today I’d be reviewing the Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Soothing Toner.

It was last month that I saw this pink beauty winking at me in Talal Supermarket, Al Qusais. I loved the pure baby pink bottle and thought to give it a try. Was it good? Did it break me out? Did it heal my semi dry skin? Read on..

Product claims:
If you have dry and sensitive skin, this toner is an ideal daily touch to moisturize and soften skin for a fresh, healthy and beautiful skin.

Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin,Citronellol,Methylparaben,Panthenol,PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Rose water, Fragrance.

Usage:
After cleansing the face, use the product with the help of a cotton pad to tone face and neck. Later apply moisturizer.

My experience:
I bought this at around 9 in the evening and I could not wait to return home and use the product. Once I reached home, I washed my face thoroughly and poured the almost colorless toner on to my cotton pad. As soon as it touched my skin ahhh…bliss.. I loved the fact that it was so soothing and hydrating. Yet, it thoroughly cleaned my face and neck of all the little impurities left out after washing. The fragrance was so refreshing. And, the best part :My hubby comes to the room for some file, walks past me, returns in a second, comes very close and says “ wow u smell lovely and fresh..what is it??” ahhh…blush blush…

I love this toner. In a week’s time I did notice my skin getting healed. In a month’s time I should say my skin is softer than before and I just love this product. It did not irritate me or break me out. It did not make my skin dry or overtly oily. My skin looks as though it is meditating  and is completely at peace. I would recommend this product to people with dry and sensitive skin. I really do not have any idea as of how would it react on oily skin. Because of all these positives, I happily ignore the paraben part of it.
