Hi Friends,
My skin
behaves well when I am sincere to my toning routine. If I skip my toner for a
week I start noticing not so good changes. I was using rose water earlier and
for the past 3 months I am using the toner from Lotus Herbals which I will be
reviewing for you today.
Packing
The
product comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a pump dispenser to spray
the product. The dispenser is covered by a transparent plastic cap. Though I initially
felt that the cap was flimsy, it survived the trips it took in my bag.
Claims

My
Experience
This
product comes in two variants one designed for combination-oily skin and one for oily
skin. (I saw the option available for the skin types in their website). I got the
one designed for combination skin as my skin is acne prone.
This toner
is very good at removing the traces of my face wash/cleanser. After using this,
I am left with a squeaky clean face. With continuous usage, the blackhead
formation is noticeably decreased. My skin feels clear and soft.
One of my favorite things about this toner is its ability to remove the excess oil without
drying. My skin feels hydrated and smooth.
Initially I
did not notice any major change in the pore size. But with regular usage I am
beginning to see clear and smooth skin within minimal appearance of pores.
It did not
cause any allergic reactions or acne breakouts. As this product aids at keeping
the skin clean,I am not getting any huge breakouts nowadays. But this is just
a toner. It does not do anything special to keep your skin acne-free apart from keeping it clean and hydrated.
This
product smells of cucumber and it is very mild. The fragrance does not linger
long. I did not feel any tingling or burning sensation when I apply it.
One bottle (100ml) comes easily for a month with liberal 2 times a day usage.

1. Does

4. Helps

5. Helps

fragrance.

packing.
10. Affordable.

Dislikes:
1. Contains
Parabens.
Maniac’s
Rating: 5/5.
I really don’t
mind the fact that it contains parabens. This product is very good. You cannot
obviously expect miracles over night but with sincere usage it helps. I am
already on my third bottle and will definitely repurchase.
Highly recommended to combination skinned ladies.

Some useful Info - Astringents
and Toners:
Astringents
normally contain alcohol or other similar chemical. Astringents help in shrinking the pore
size and eliminating oil from the pores. They cause tingling sensation when
applied. They are normally advised for oily acne prone skin. They tend to irritate
sensitive and dry skin. Whereas, toners are milder and do not contain
alcohol. So they are good for sensitive skin. Toners help in maintaining the
ph balance, improving the complexion and skin tone.
