Some By Mi - xtalastar review for Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Toner

▶️ Two key ingredients in this toner are black snail secretion and Truecica™, an exclusive trademark by Some By Mi for this toner's calming care formulation of Teatree, Centella Asiatica and Mugwort. Other notable ingredients are Niacinamide, Licorice Root Extract, Arbutin, and Glutathione, which are good sources of antioxidants and provides brightening and lightening benefits. It claims to protect the skin from external stimuli and stress, as well as to strengthen skin barrier. It has a watery texture but not as runny as your regular water, and it leaves a dewy kinda matte finish. Scent is not strong and does not linger for too long. ▶️ My Experience This toner is a bit complicated to layer with other products. It bubbles depending on the products I layer it with. So, I just use it with a cotton pad, first for wipe off then apply a layer or two using my hands. Let it fully absorbed before I apply my essence, then serum, finally a moisturizer. Insert "sunscreen" for AM. And it did work better that way for me. I didn't experience any redness, irritation, nor breakouts from using this toner. Although it kinda stings my eyes around midday, when my skin starts to get all oily. And there were less to none brightening or lightening effects on my skin at all. There is a little bit of hydration to this and it gives that soft to touch feel onto my skin. One thing that's very important to note is that it kinda helped with my acne scars. I don't have much but I've noticed that this one particular acne scar that I have on the lower part of my cheek has improved. I will continue to use it to see if it will really help with acne scarring in the long run. I may post before and after photos to let you guys see and compare just in case.
