Slosophy - GracyGrace review for Newtinol Toner

Claims: Essential liquid type of toner that enhances the skin turnover cycle of damaged skin cells and provides hydration with a retinol-alternative called Bakuchiol. 🧐What is Bakuchiol? Bakuchiol (“buh-koo-chee-all”) is a meroterpene isolated from the seeds of the Babchi plant, also known as Psoralea Corylifolia. Bakuchiol is a cosmetic ingredient that’s considered a true natural retinol alternative, without the irritation, photosensitivity or general concerns associated with traditional retinol products. Scent : Herbal-like scent which is not overpowering and eventually fades when applied on the skin. Packaging : Comes in an eco-friendly packaging made with 30% post-consumer recycled plastic with a leather holder that are 100% eco-friendly and non-toxic. (The bottle can be upcycled in creative ways after use, and purchased with or without the leather holder). Texture & Consistency : The texture is thicker than the water, more like an "essence toner" which gives a silky smooth, non-tacky finish. #WhatGracySays This gentle toner is very lightweight and also helps to hydrate and softly prep the skin for the next step. It can even be layered on multiple times for a moisturizing effect, reducing a complicated skincare routine into what the brand calls a “skip-care” routine. Other ingredients include (1) ectoine to stimulates skin recovery, (2) winter cherry extract to protect damaged skin cells, and (3) fructose to preserves skin moisture. The formulation is gentle enough to be used in nighttime and daytime routines. As for me, I love using it in my AM routine and just use my hands and pat it in. My skin just drinks it up! I apply it in 3 layers and I love how it feels as it does its job in prepping my skin for the next product. It doesn't feel greasy, heavy nor cause me any irritations & breakouts! It is true to its claims of providing an ampoule-like hydration for my combi-oily skin however, I haven't noticed any significant changes yet, so I think I'll still need to continue using it for another week or so. Of course I will keep you posted! 🥰
