TIAM - Camelliaskinensis review for Vita Refre-C Toner

✨This toner blends antioxidant-rich Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) that works to protect the skin from free radicals and helps revitalize the skin for a vibrant and healthy-looking complexion. The percentage of Vitamin C is undeclared but the product claims to be safe and and non-irritating for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It also has niacinamide and allantoin in the ingredients list. ✨This toner is housed in a yellow-orange glass bottle. Upon purchase this toner is not yet active, instructions tell you to press the button to release the Vitamin C powder in the cap into the Vitamin E toner, and to shake the bottle vigorously to evenly mix the powder. As with water-based Vitamin C the solution is unstable so the brand recommends keeping it in the fridge. ✨ It’s a clear, watery toner, no distinct scent and refreshing right off the fridge. My skincare fridge is malfunctioning now so this has been living in our fridge in the kitchen, but I go down to make my breakfast tea anyway so I just tone before I bring up my tea to my morning Zoom. It is hydrating (surprisingly given it is so watery) and skin softening, and I experienced absolutely no irritation with this toner. ✨ I paused all other vitamin C products during the testing period and I can definitely say that in terms of brightening, I did see visible results. I came from a beach trip and was a few shades darker, but in three weeks I’m evenly back to my original color and my PIH spots lightened considerably. ✨ All in all, this is a toner I’m really enjoying, and one I’d recommend, especially for those who are intolerant of high percentages of Vitamin C.
