REVIEW: SKINFOOD TONER PADS – CARROT 🥕 & POTATO 🥔

If you’re looking for a gentle, hydrating toner that delivers great quality at an affordable price, then BADSKIN Hyaluronic Spa Toner is definitely worth trying! This is a hidden gem that more people should know about.

One of the most impressive things about this toner is its huge 500ml size, yet it costs just around $8-$9 – an amazing deal for a product you can use daily. The texture is perfectly balanced – not too watery, not too thick – and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. Plus, it contains Onsen-Sui (hot spring water), which helps soothe and hydrate the skin while keeping it healthy over time.

I’m already on my third bottle, and it has become a staple in my routine, especially before makeup. It provides just the right amount of hydration without making my skin feel greasy, helping my foundation apply smoothly. If you haven’t heard of this toner yet, you should definitely give it a try – it’s a high-quality product that deserves way more attention!

BADSKIN Hyaluronic Spa Toner – A Hidden Gem You Need in Your Skincare Routine!

Honestly, I’m really satisfied with this product. However, one drawback that might make it less suitable for some people is that its hydration level may not be strong enough for extremely dry skin. If your skin is very dry, you might need to layer multiple layers for better results or pair it with a moisturizer to enhance hydration.

this toner features a gentle formula derived from natural ingredients and is free of alcohol, which helps balance skin moisture and tighten pores. The product highlights its ability to soothe the skin, providing an immediate cooling and refreshing sensation upon application. Its light fragrance is subtle and non-overwhelming, making it suitable for even sensitive skin. After using it for a period, I noticed that my skin became softer, more even-toned, and naturally radiant. Overall, this toner is a promising choice for anyone seeking a safe and effective skincare solution.

The texture of this toner is quite watery and absorbs quickly, which may not be ideal for dry, sensitive skin or during dry weather conditions. If you have very dry skin, you might find this toner lacking in hydration. To get the best results, it’s recommended to pair it with a targeted moisturizing cream to keep your skin well-hydrated and prevent dryness.

I have sensitive skin that easily reacts to seasonal changes, breakouts, and external aggressors. Because of this, I always look for gentle yet effective products to help my skin recover. And P.CALM Barrier Cycle Toner has become my go-to choice!

Right from the first use, I noticed its lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky residue. What I love most is its calming effect – my skin instantly feels cool and soothed, and any redness or irritation seems to diminish significantly. I also noticed that my inflamed acne spots appeared less swollen after continuous use.

For those with oily, acne-prone skin or sensitive skin like mine, this toner is definitely worth trying. It strengthens the skin barrier day by day without feeling heavy or causing further irritation. If you’re looking for a toner that effectively soothes and restores your skin, this might just be your holy grail!

The finish of this toner feels slightly heavy on the skin and can create a film-like layer. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend using it before makeup. It works better as part of a skincare routine rather than a prep step for foundation, as it might make your base appear uneven or textured.

If you have acne-prone, oily skin and are looking for a gentle toner to soothe your skin, especially after breakouts or extractions, then Caryophy Portulaca No Alcohol Toner is definitely worth considering.

I often use this toner as a lotion mask when my skin is breaking out or after popping pimples, and I can feel an immediate calming effect. Redness reduces significantly, and my skin doesn’t feel tight or dry. The texture is more like an essence—slightly thicker than typical watery toners—so it provides good hydration, though it doesn’t absorb too quickly. What I love most about this product is its super-gentle ingredient list, packed with botanical extracts that help soothe and support skin recovery. This makes it suitable not only for oily, acne-prone skin but also for other skin types.

Overall, this is a mild, skin-friendly toner that works well for calming acne-prone skin and strengthening the skin barrier without causing irritation. If you’re looking for an alcohol-free toner that focuses on soothing and lightweight hydration, this one is definitely worth a try!
