REVIEW : DR JIN "REFINING ACTIVATOR"

Hey! Continuing with my Dr Jin skin care line, this time I'm bringing you the review of Dr Jin "Refining Activator"

Each box came with 4 tubes - yes, 4 freakin' tubes! That's a lot! And I was like, is one of this different or not :o turns out every one of the tubes are the same product. Curious why they have to make it like that, because I don't think they sold them separately anyway!

The packaging is unique and with this I don't have to worry about travelling - and OH I just got it, maybee,  maybeeee they want their product to be "fresh" longer, so rather than opening a huge bottle of product, it's better to open little by little to keep the unused product "fresher".

I used this product after my cleansing routine as a toner. It is recommended to pour the product over a cotton pad and apply it but I skipped the cotton pad and just use it alone and it works better because it moisturizes my skin better that way!

One thing is that this toner stings a little bit - especially you know after cleansing, super clean and dried face, still very sensitive may be the reason why this product stings a bit on the first application. It does get better later after 3-4 times application.

Also, stings can be reduced by not applying the product directly after you finished cleansing your face. Wait until your skin relaxed and apply the toner! :)

The product is quite watery, a little bit yellowish, and quickly absorbed to the skin. It is said that this toner can help with enlarged pores and sebum control, contains BHA and helps brighten and fight acne.

For me the biggest difference I see in my skin after using this product is brightening effect, it does reduce my blemishes for a very visible amount and helps with sebum control! I see my face is definitely not as oily but still moisturized! For the pores, I do see improvement combined with other pore reducing serum and pore strips too! :)

I totally recommend this product, the packaging is unique and definitely great for people with combination / oily skin! :)

Also the fancy packaging, it's great for a gift too hahaha I'll be more than happy to get these on my birthday!

REVIEW : Lush "Tea Tree Water" Toner

Hey!

I think it's been years since I last review a skin care product here. That's because I don't buy a new skin care item if I hadn't finish the one I'm using and most of the time I just repurchasing stuff.

But today, I'm not reviewing a Korean brand, today I'm bringing you guys a review for 'Tea Tree Water' Toner from Lush.

I've been planning to change my regular toner with a spray on toner instead for the longest time ever since it seems I waste a lot of cotton pads on a Toner. Finally, I stumbled upon this toner on Lush that look like will work ok on my skin type. I know tea tree is good for troubled, acne prone skin. I don't find my skin to be extremely acne-prone, but I do have a very oily skin. After a few talks with the SA I decided to give this product a go. 

The simple black packaging is something that I always adore from Lush. Love it. And another perks of Lush is, I don't know about other country, but SA in Lush Korea is always so kind (mostly man)(I mean, good looking man) and can speak in English. It's really easy to communicate and they're usually are pretty generous with their samples that you can try and smell everything in the store.

In Seoul, there's a Lush store in Myongdong, in front of the huge Uniqlo building.

The 'Tea Tree' Toner is made from tea tree water and infused with grapefruit essentials. It supposed to help balanced the skin, keep up with the skin health and cleanness. When sprayed it has herb smell that I found very strong at first, but it doesn't' take long until I get use to the scent. I do think the scent does make me feel really, really freshen up when I sprayed this.

I usually sprayed about 6-7 pumps, after I wash my face twice a day, in the morning and at the end of the day. Of course you can still use a cotton pad but spraying some and use that to wipe around the face. Tried to do that, and it actually helps to take some 'leftover' makeups that you might miss when you cleanse your face.  

The pump nozzle is quite strong, it's like being hit with a water gun. That's also the reason why I need atleast 6 pumps to cover my whole face because the nozzle only sprayed small area at once. It looks like a lot of product to spray at once, but I had this toner since around 7 weeks ago and I still have more than half in the bottle. 

You can spray this over your makeup, but make sure that you hold the bottle not too close to your face. 

Overall, I love this toner! Like super love it. I would definitely repurchase. Upon using this toner, my skin has shown a lot of improvements like less red blemishes, no major acne problem and more even skin tone.  I realized that I haven't got any huge acne (that usually showed up during 'the time' of the month) that is not only bad in the aesthetic area, but also painful. Also, during this colder month, it doesn't make my skin super dry too! 

I totally recommend this to everyone that has oily skin and acne, blemish prone skin. It does helps with the problem and nothing is easier to apply than a spray-type toner. 

Thankyou so much for reading, guys! xx
