MY EXPERIENCE
"I have been using natural skincare products for eight years now, but a good natural toner is still missing from my toiletry bag. Most toners I've tried so far unfortunately dry out my skin. This is because they often contain too much menthol and alcohol (even if they come from natural sources) and have few nourishing ingredients for the skin itself. That's why I was very happy when I received this package with Witlof's balancing toner. Especially when I read the list of ingredients. The added flower waters such as rose water, cornflower water, and witch hazel water sound heavenly!
THE BALANCING TONER
A balancing toner is exactly what my skin needs right now! I have combination skin. I see the first signs of aging (hello lovely crow's feet), but I also occasionally have issues with impurities. If I can believe the description of this toner, it is suitable for both concerns, which is great!
It has been about three weeks since I started using the toner, and I have thoroughly tested it. By the way, I always test products for at least three weeks before writing a review so that I can provide a realistic picture of the product and its effectiveness. It's only fair, right?
WHEN TO USE?
I prefer to use the toner in the evening after cleansing my face with a cleansing milk. It's wonderful to finish my cleansing routine with this toner. It gives a refreshing feeling, and it also helps to close the pores.
Additionally, this balancing toner smells really lovely (which is not surprising with all those delightful flower waters, of course). I wasn't expecting a pleasant scent when I read that it contains apple cider vinegar, so it exceeded my expectations.
This toner costs €13.95 and contains a generous 50ml, so it lasts for quite a while. After three weeks, I have realized that this is a product I will definitely purchase again! It's a very enjoyable product to use, and I haven't found any drawbacks. Actually, I have nothing but praise for this brand and product. So, if you're looking for a natural toner suitable for all skin types, including yours, this toner is definitely worth a try!"
