Hi, dear readers
I come back again with new review. This is a product that I
have bought and tested months ago, but I just have the chance to finish my
review now, he he… lazy me. If u follow my blog from the beginning, u must know
that I’m sort of toner type person. Like my skincare would be incomplete
without it. I usually use toner to remove the traces of cleanser and to prepare
my skin before receiving skincare and make up I currently use.
I have posted about The Body Shop Aloe Cleanser and Toner
that I ‘ve used up till the last drop, and I
satisfied with them. Some months ago I read on many blogs and some of
beauty bloggers raved about The Body Shop Vit E Toner. Oh, and then the next
thing u could guess, I bought The Body Shop Vit E Toner just because I could
not hold my curiosity.
As expected from Vit E line, this toner is moisturizing
type. It won’t dry ur skin. The good thing is this toner alcohol- free. Do
remember that alcohol (drying alcohol) is bad for our skin. I my self now avoid alcohol in any face products I use, except
for blackhead toner that I only apply on nose. I still count on my The Body
Shop Tea Tree Toner for blackhead removal, I’ll give the review later.
The bottle is not transparent so u can't see through
At the first usage, I noticed some medium smell from this
toner, but it did not bother me. It has clear color, slightly looks just like
water. The consistency is thicker than The Body Shop Aloe Toner. Of course it’s
because this one is more into moisturizing type. It helped to wipe away the
cleanser residue and remaining make up from my face. It gave me soft and
moisturized feeling after application. My dehydrated skin at that time was quite
happy with this benefit. But my happiness did not last long. When I have zits
or acne on my face, somehow after using this toner those bumps became more
obvious. And when my skin was in sensitive mode, I felt this toner is not
gentle enough for me, maybe because fragrance ingredients on it that my
sensitive skin could not take.
I used almost ¼ bottle of this toner before neglecting it. I
kept it to use once in a while only when my skin at normal mode.
Ingredients List
My mom tried this toner and she liked it. It did good to
soften her aging skin. It turned out to be my mom’s favorite toner. My mom
usually did not like too much steps in her skincare. But since she liked how
this toner softened her skin and made it suppler, then she happily added it to
her routine.
Lately I browsed some articles on the internet. And then I
found that Vitamin E skincare in many case does not get along well with acne
prone skin since it could trigger or worsen the bumps. Well, I haven’t read
much about it tough.

Repurchase ? Maybe, but not for me, I’ll consider repurchase
it for my mom if The Body Shop offers it in discount price, he he…
Actually this is a decent toner for certain types of skin,
too bad that it’s not quite for me. To be honest I have been battling complex
problems on my skin since teenager.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention. The price of this toner
was IDR 109.000 when I bought it last year.
So, What do u think, girls? What toner u use? What’s ur
