Peach Sake Toner

As a diehard fan of Skinfoods Egg white perfect pores cleansing foam, I decided to give This toner a try and change up from my juiceB toner pads that work so wonderful with my oil slick/acne prone, red splotchy face. I waited 2 weeks for the review to be fair... but This did not help with any of my issues. Even with extremely oily skin, this was way beyond drying. After reading all the great reviews I really wanted this to be my go to toner. But it makes my face Tightsnd irritated. Of course when I put my oil free moisturizer afterwards it helps, but I don't get a light, clean, healing, oil control result that I was used to getting. Sad it didn't work out since I use the egg white cleanser everyday with excellent results. This toner irritated my acne and only increased my redness. Nope.. this product is not for me sadly.

I didn't come to Ulta looking for this but I thought the packaging was so cute and wanted to try a new toner. This toner smells so good! It makes my pores invisible and my skin looks so smooth and soft. I did notice a break out this morning but I'm not sure yet if the toner is to blame so I'm keeping an eye out. I would definitely buy this again if it turns out its not causing my acne.

This toner is right on the cusp between a traditional western astringent toner and an asian moisturizing toner. While it does contain denatured alcohol, which is a problem for some individuals, keep in mind that the alcohol listed is the sake portion. I absolutely adore the smell; it smells like a freshly cut peach. While the scent is strong when you first apply, it disappears within just a minute or two. This combined with the serum and emulsion (lotion) has literally saved my skin. It's controiled my oils in my t-zone area, made my pores look smaller, helped with my overall facial redness, and flattened several nasty acne bumps around my chin. It leaves my skin very lightly moisturized in combination with the other two products and the line leaves my skin feeling velvety soft. Almost powdery soft. I would highly recommend that this product not be used without a moisturizer, even for oily skin. Moisturizing is essential after this product to recieve its full effects. I will continue to repurchase!

Smells amazing! Leaves my skin feeling fresh and looking clear. Since I have very sensitive skin I usually get very red afterwards but that will fade overtime (though doesn't matter to me since I put on makeup afterwards). This helps keep my pores clean of gunk so I can prevent breakouts.

I'll start off saying this...I have no idea how to be a girl. I'm a 34 year old freckle faced, pale skinned, ginger woman who has never learned how to take care of my skin, hair, or even put on makeup properly. The only skin care routine I've ever had was avoid the sun and wash my face with whatever soap I had in the shower. I am fortunate enough to look younger than my age but the skin on my face has started to look rough over the past couple years due to sunburns and my pores remind me of craters on the moon. Ok, maybe they aren't as bad as that but they have gotten bigger and my skin has gotten this dull dirty look to it that I can't stand. Anyway, I bought this toner yesterday after researching about 50 different kinds. I washed my face soap and water (nothing special), patted dry, put some Peach sake toner on a cotton ball and put it all over my face. First thing I noticed was the smell. It smells AMAZING. Sweet, light peach scent. Not too strong but definitely enough to make you go "mmmmm that smells great". Second thing I noticed was all the nastiness on the cotton ball that I hadn't gotten off my face when I washed it. Third thing was my skin was WAY brighter, not shinier, brighter. My skin tone was even, healthier looking, cleaner. I'll go with the term whiter, because for a pale girl that's exactly what it did for me. It whitened and brightened my skin which is a great thing and exactly what I needed. Fourth, the dreaded pores....they were legit smaller. The pores on my nose and my cheeks were much MUCH smaller. Maybe this is what all toners do, maybe not? I dunno. I was so thrilled that I thought maybe I was fooling myself so I used it on my boyfriend and it made his face look better and made his pores smaller. He wasn't too thrilled about it but I was. Lol So, now I'm hooked on this stuff. I woke up this morning and my skin still looked pretty darn good. I washed my face, used the toner again and BAM! My skin looks even better now.
