Has a slight "tightening" sensation whenever applied. It dries down, literally, but it isn't drying the skin in any way.

Decently moisturizes and brings some subtle brightening action too. Love using this for nighttime since it gives the skin a healthy glow the day after.

✔️ 2 protective lids + a mini spatula

‼️Has 7 weights of hyaluronic acid, might irritate some.

💭Thoughts💭
Easily one of the best toners I have opened right now. Now I love me some viscous toners and essences but sometimes I don't want that "weight" especially when I want to layer multiple products and here comes this lifesaver! It's not too too weighted but still has that little oomph of something that it doesn't feel just like straight up water.

Plenty hydrating and it holds onto that hydration, doesn't just evaporate to nowhere which I love. Has this moisturizing factor since there is oil present but it's not too much, faintest kiss of moisturization. I don't experience much calming, it doesn't bother me though. What really sold me is the fact that it is supposed to "purify" the skin, I mean isn't the idea of lotus flower itself is amazing? It can live on muddy waters, literally thriving even though it's dirty. If I can somewhat have that effect on my skin, I'm all for it. A great hydrating addition for keeping my skin looking healthy, yes please.

Toners aren't really essentials but if you want and is looking for one, I highly recommend checking this one out.

📑 Loaded with 392,000ppm(approx40%) lotus water which is said to purify skin from micro pollutants with its self-purifying properties all the while revitalizing skin. Also boasts this patented ingredient called Aquaxyl, an ingredient that is said to be an anti-dehydration shield.

✔️ Right balance between watery and viscous.
✔️ Great for layering. Doesn't feel sticky when layered multiple times.
✔️ Not overly calming but it is hydrating enough for my oily skin.
✔️ Fragrance and essential oil free.


✖️Idk maybe it&#39;s just me but the font color on product description&#47;information and ingredients bothers me a lot. It&#39;s white and it&#39;s very hard to read with all the see through packaging! 
‼️I bought mine on younfamily.ph on shopee if anyone is interested. Yaocos.ph also has this.

🗯️Overall thoughts🗯️
Soothing gels gained quite the popularity here in PH🇵🇭 since we basically just have one weather. Honestly it feels like summer all year round. 

Pretty much every soothing gel available here is either fragranced or it has alcohol in it and I didn&#39;t want that. So glad I discovered this brand. Main ingredient is houttuynia cordata AKA heartleaf. That&#39;s what really caught my eye since it&#39;s not your typical aloe vera soothing gel.

I find that this soothes&#47;calms my skin more than the other super popular ingredient centella. My acne prone skin seems to love this very much, effects are instant and they last for quite a while(given that you put a thin even amount). I like to use this on lazy mornings, pair it with a hydrating spf and it&#39;s bomb. Keeps me hydrated&#47;moisturized all day. Also tried using this as a sleeping pack(I slather quite a thick layer) when I do get my hormonal acne flare ups, you actually wake up with soft skin, no aggravated pimple anywhere in sight.

Highly recommend this, you hear me filipino folks. Get this instead!

📑Some bits of info ❕
Boasts a whooping 96% of houttuynia cordata extract and tree leaf oil. Formulated with 90% EWG Green Grade ingredients. 

✔️Not fragranced but smells midly medicinal(herbal-y and quite earth-y) in a way
✔️ Minimal ingredients with only 13 in total. 
✔️ Great value for money. Apparently these kinds of soothing gels come in no more less than 300mils
✔️ Unique but very well thought out packaging. Very sanitary.

✖️For dry/dehydrated skin maybe this will be too light, should follow up with a more occlusive moisturizer on top. 
✖️I read that it oxidizes, apparently green tea is a little tricky to formulate. 
✖️The 6M pao symbol is missing from the box and the product itself, it would be good I think if its printed on the bottle.

🗯️Overall thoughts🗯️
I find that this emulsion works great for our weather(🇵🇭) as it is very lightweight. It starts off as a cream-gel and as you work it into your skin it really melts into a liquid that will instantly soak into your skin.

I'm glad that this doesn't have any form of HA in it. Main humectants in here are beta-glucan and glycerin, really really great ones that are easily overshadowed by the popular HA. Thanks to those two, I find that I can use this as a stand alone moisturizer for daytime. I wouldn't recommend it for night use though, not much occlusives.
***edit: I found a purpose for nighttime use with this. I use this as an essence/serum step before my occlusive moisturizer. Layering is awesome*** 

This product is great if you want the lightest of lightest moisturizer for daytime and to those who are living in humid places. I don't necessarily think this will be worth it for you if you have dry skin and/or living in cold places. Unless you'll be buying this for the purpose of layering then go for it! 

Had great experience with this one. Would gladly repurchase but not necessarily after I finish this up. I'd like to test out some more products I've had my eye on

📑Some bits of info❕
Infused with fresh green tea extract from Jeju–Korea, this promises to revitalizes tired/irritated skin. Claims to be sebum controlling

 ✔️Lightweight, fast absorbed, no unpleasant smell and not sticky/tacky at all. 
✔️Great value for money (120ml is a lot), decently prized for the amount you're getting. 
✔️Helped keep my oils in check but nothing drastic, maybe it'll work better if used in conjunction with the toner from the same line

✖️ May slightly drag the skin esp if not properly moisturized. 
✖️ I find it small for the price. I was expecting it to be around 20g or more. 
✖️ Clings onto hair and&#47;or hair lines. Needs to be patted in.
✖️ Probably not the most hygienic but I always make sure to wipe the stick whenever I use it(U SHOULD TOO! We don&#39;t want the nasty bacteria to grow and multiply there😬)
‼️Pilled when layered with my vegreen nature mucin toner and cosrx snail essence. Every other toner I have worked okay, so maybe just those gloopy slimy ones?🤷🏻‍♀️

💭Thoughts💭
I know most of you have tried sunsticks already but this is a first for me and I&#39;m amazed by how practical it is. At first I was using it as a main spf but later on I much preferred it for reapplying. It takes some shine away(not in a bad way) and I love how my skin looks whenever I use this. To be honest the idea of sunsticks doesn&#39;t wow me because I&#39;ve always thought it&#39;ll be too greasy for my oily skin but this one definitely broke that mentality of mine.

I don&#39;t go out much but I can really say this is nice for reapplying. This sunstick really made my spf reapplication so easy and fuss free. Doesn&#39;t involve worrying if my hands are clean before touching my face and it just takes a minute to swipe on then you&#39;re good to go. Chef&#39;s kiss in a tube truely. 

Honestly there&#39;s not much to say, the spf claims are good and how it performs is amazing. This will be very useful once the pandemic is gone, I&#39;d gladly repurchase if I ever have the budget then. Recommend to anyone, I feel like it&#39;ll be good for all skin types. Do check it out if you&#39;re on the hunt for a sunstick!

📑 Focuses on protecting skin formulated with natural ingredients to offer gentle defense against the sun&#39;s rays.

✔️ Natural leaning satin finish and has no unpleasant smell. 
✔️ Practical, compact, and portable. I like how light and narrow the packaging is.
✔️ Doesn&#39;t seem to dwindle fast(since the stick is pretty stiff), it&#39;ll last you ages. 
✔️ I believe I&#39;m between the Fitzpatrick scale III-IV so there&#39;s a slight cast upon application but it goes after a minute or two. Kinda like how glue is white but then it turns transparent when it dries down. Not at all an inconvenience since I have clue where I&#39;ve already put the product.
