Stinging around the eye area, though I've mitigated that by applying only a tiny amount to the eye and being careful not to get any of the lids. 

Great texture to this product; moisturising but never sticky. Leaves skin looking radiant. Absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a white cast (but I am very very pale!). Decent price too. Would definitely repurchase and try others in the range

The only toner I've ever used that I would rave about! Much thicker than western toners I've tried, you pat it on rather than sweep it across the face with a cotton pad. Very soothing and I appreciate how it comes in both scented and unscented versions. I like how it preps the skin for following products; typically I use this before and after face masks, and after my cleanser in my daily routine. A must try for dry or sensitive skin.

Sometimes, particularly with a new bottle, the ingredients seem to separate. This can lead to you getting a handful of liquid oil or it feeling gritty. Best solution is to give it a good shake before use. 

Why pay more for an oil cleanser? This is affordable, removes all make up and sunscreen, non-irritating and leaves your skin soft and hydrated. You can leave it on for a few minutes as a gentle moisturising mask or to melt off particularly stubborn make up. The oat is a great skin feeding ingredient. It's going to support your skin barrier, making this a great product for easily irriated skin.

Nothing at all, it's a holy grail product for me. 

I've never been a big believer in toners. I've always thought they were a fairly ineffectual part of a routine. However, this toner has been life changing. It's thick, thick enough to apply with your hands. It's infinitely soothing (I also really appreciate how there is an unscented version available as well, though I personally have had no problem at all with the scented version). Truly, a must have when using actives that might leave you a little red or irritated.

This isn't even a bad point because if you have sensitive skin, this is exactly what you need sometimes, but there are no actives here. I'd also love to see a slightly thicker version for night time usage. 

This is a holy grail moisturiser for easily irritated skin. After damaging my skin barrier, it was really difficult to find a moisturiser which 1. Didn't irritate my already angry skin and 2. Wasn't so thick that it left me looking oily. This product leaves a wonderful cool feeling on the skin and sinks away to nothing. For night time usage, it's layerable underneath an oil for added hydration if that is what you are after. From most sources, it retails for around £10 and lasts me about a month using it twice a day. I can't see me changing day creams for a long time.
