iUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner
"This toner offers powerful moisturizing and soothing effects to sensitive skin thanks to its 70% damask rose content. Also contains 10% galactomyces ferment filtrate to control sebum production and contract pores, alongside extracts from pomegranate, fig, mulberry and ginkgo for antioxidant benefits."
Don’t be fooled by its name, the Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner is indeed an essence!
I use it in the morning, after using my toner (the Dokdo Toner I reviewed earlier)
Essence’s are a great first moisturizing step, which will facilitate the absorption of the products you will apply on top and also help to hydrate the skin more deeply!
And the least I can say is that this Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner essence perfectly fulfils this role of a very moisturizing product but it also has cool other effects on top!
It’s made up of 70% rose water, which makes it a very soothing and slightly purifying product as well (but without drying out at all, it’s not an astringent ingredient!)
There are also some galactomyces in there, an ingredient I like very much for its regenerating and brightening boosting effects!
Add to that a little bit of rose oil to nourish the skin, some glycerin and hyaluronic acid for the hydration and allantoin for the soothing effect, and it gives you a super refreshing and nice to use essence!
I use it generously, sometimes in several layers because I love its refreshing effect, especially in the morning!
I know that many people consider essences as an extra product in a routine, but for me, they became an essential step in my routine, and I don’t hesitate to use them generously. What can I say, my dehydrated skin loves it!
And I also appreciate their plumping effect, which is immediately visible and that I can feel it throughout the day! 🙂
I also love its subtle rose scent. For me it’s the little extra something that makes it lush!
I also love that the Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner essence lasts a super long time! I started it this summer and I still have a half a bottle left..... only because winter started, but summer will be here soon!!
And since it’s not very expensive, I think it’s a great value for money! 🙂
IN CONCLUSION:
If you have dry and dehydrated skin like me, and you like rose-based cosmetics (I know I’m not the only one in this case!;)), the iUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner is definitely a great skincare product to consider!

Method:
I use the iUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner essence in the evening and/or morning, on cleansed skin, after using a slightly acidic toner, but before my other targeted treatments (my serums and oil) and my moisturizer.
I apply it on my face, including my eye contour and neck.
I pour the essence directly into the palm of my hand. I shake it about three to four times, in order to have enough product in my palm. You can also use a cotton pad to apply it, but I personally find that you lose far too much product using this method.
I then apply it directly on my skin, with light pressure from the palms of my hands until the product is absorbed.
I finish by dabbing my skin lightly to help absorption.
