It does contain alcohol denat and  quite a few different oils (lavender, lime, rosemary etc) so it might be worth bearing this in mind if you are sensitive to these ingredients.⁠

Tocobo is a new brand to me and I was thrilled to be chosen by StyleKorean to review this.
⁠Tocobo is a Korean brand based on intuition that values the essence and creates products of clarity based on insights.⁠
⁠The AHA BHA Lemon toner is a watery gel toner formulated with lemon extract, glycolic acid, salicylic acid plus a whole host of skin loving ingredients like betaine, panthenol and beta glucan. It has a subtle herbal citrusy scent and has been gentle enough for me to use every day without causing any irritation (Tocobo recommend using this at night because of the AHA/BHA content). ⁠
⁠
Designed to vitalise, brighten, exfoliate and calm I have been really enjoying using this toner and love that i'm getting gentle chemical exfoliation as well as hydration - also how fun is that lemon lid packaging?!⁠

This product doesn't have any downsides for me

***I received this product for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review***

Skin1004 are a Korean who's products focus on their hero ingredient - Centella (one of my fave ingredients!). Sourced and harvested from Madagascar, grown in selected regions for for ideal environment and climate they have perfected the extraction method to ensure high quality 100% pure centella essence. Why the name Skin1004? In Korean language the number 1004 is a homonym for angel which represents the brands aim to be the guardian angel for the skin.

Serving a dual purpose of both hydration and skin brightening this toner not only contains the brands hero ingredient centella but a whole host of fabulous ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin and betaine as well as papaya and apple extracts for gentle exfoliation. It also contains their patented ingredient MadeWhite - a natural active ingredient extracted from Madagascar Centella.

I love the chic, minimalist packaging and have been using this in both my am and pm routine for the past few weeks. Its a clear, watery toner with no scent, I like to use it with a cotton round but you could easily pat this directly onto your skin. It's mildly acidic to match the pH level of the skin. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed using this toner and love the hit of hydration for my thirsty skin. While the main ingredient is centella I love that it also contains niacinamide which I love to incorporate into my routine to keep my skin barrier strong. 

For me there were no downsides to this product 

Formulated with green tea extract, a triple Hyaluronic acid complex and 6 types of peptides this golden hued gel textured toner is a perfect hit of hydration as well as antioxidant benefits from the green tea and anti-aging from the peptides. I use this with a cotton round but you could also apply this directly to your face, it would also be ideal for the 7 skins method.

It does leave a slight white cast so might not work for all skin tones

Isntree's newest SPF offering is their Hyaluronic Natural Sun Cream - A physical sunscreen with an SPF of 50 and rated PA++++ this is a lightweight SPF with a gel cream type texture and no scent. Because it's a physical SPF (made with zinc oxide) it does leave a bit of a white cast on me when initially applied but it does fade. This SPF has been working well for me and layers very well under my make up. It also contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, betaine and panthenol so feels like an extra hydrating layer as well as giving me sun protection.



Would prefer a bit of scent to make it more enjoyable to use but that's a personal preference

I'm a huge fan of Isntree although I was surprised when I saw their new line was onion based and wondered what benefits could onion have for my skin?! Turns out its an ingredient rich in phyto-nutrients and the red onions used in these products are grown in the mineral rich area of Muan.The products are also forumalated with a NosCalm Complex - a skin loving combination of allantoin, panthenol, and heartleaf houttuynia (don't worry, none of the products smell like onion!).

I adore a gel cream texture for my moisturizer, especially in the Summer here in South Africa when I don't want thick, occlusive feeling creams on my face. This is lovely and lightweight gel cream with the same gorgeous colour as the cleanser. Made with higher concentrations of onion extract and the NosCalm complex this is soothing and hydrating and manages to keep my skin feeling hydrated the whole day.
