MY EXPERIENCE WITH H2o plus MARINE CALM balancing toner

In the past I have used the Lush toner( Lush Eau Roma Water Toner Water) which is an amazing toner as well as a refreshing spray, helping to calm down my skin the moment it is sprayed all over the face. The toner should be used after washing face by a cleanser/face wash.  H2O marine calm balancing toner is packed in a plastic green bottle, the cap is tight enough which makes it travel friendly. The liquid inside is transparent just like water and a little quantity is needed to cover the face and neck area.

Once when I apply this toner I can a feel a refreshing cooling sensation on the skin, and a mild tingling (but no burning). I have a sensitive, acne prone skin and this toner is gentle on it. It removes away the dirt from the skin and keeps my pores clean. It tightens the pores as well but doesn’t help in keeping away the blackheads somehow, maybe because it’s very gentle. I like how it feels on my skin. So gentle, and ultimately refining the texture of my face skin. It keeps the oil secretion at bay, for about two hours after which my skin starts getting oily. It says that it is fragrance free but I can smell something alcohol type in it, though it’s not an ingredient so I am not sure why the smell but yes it’s not overpowering so if you have sensitive nose need not worry.

TURN ON: H2o plus MARINE CALM balancing toner

1)    A nice option for sensitive skin.

2)    It didn’t irritate my sensitive, acne prone skin.

3)     It didn’t break me out.

4)    It preps my oily skin for the moisturizer as I get a nice hydrated skin, after applying the toner.

5)    It’s free of parabens, dyes and fragrances.

6)    It goes a long way! I have the 50 ml small bottle, which I am using last 15 days, twice a day, and still a lot is left to be used!

7)    This didn’t dry out my skin.

8)    H2O is against animal testing.

TURN OFF: H2o plus MARINE CALM balancing toner

1)    It’s an expensive option.

2)    It may not suit extremely sensitive skin if it’s being treated with retinol or similar formula!

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.60/5

“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- Yes it soothes and balances the skin by not making the skin dry and keeping the moisture in check! I can now apply my moisturizer well as it provides a refined base for it. It’s definitely a must have for sensitive skin.
