I got a travel-sized version of this in the Beauty Vault. I found the size super handy for just slipping into my carry-on. It comes in a very simple and clear plastic bottle with a cap over the pump to prevent accidental sprays. I kind of wish the bottle was more sophisticated, given the price range, but it's a small bone to pick.
I love that it uses natural ingredients and is made in NZ without harsh chemicals. This is super important for sensitive skin.
I found the toner very refreshing and two sprays was more than enough for my skin to feel cooler. I guess you could spray more, but I didn't want to use it up too quickly!
I found it gave me a dewier look when I sprayed over foundation and made my skin look less tired after a few weeks of use. It also feels very soothing and cooling after application. It doesn't feel oily either but is instead quite lightweight. The only thing is that it has a distinctive, almost liquorcey, botanical smell that some people may not like very much. It does fade away after a few minutes, but I would recommend having a sniff in person first before purchasing if possible.
I got a travel size bottle of this in my BBBE box. What I love about it is, it's cruelty free and a NZ brand. Two ticks already and that's without even getting to the nitty gritty.
The bottle is clear with a spritz top. This intrigued me, I had never seen a spritzer bottle for a toner. The label to me screams clean, green image. It keeps it simple but does what it's supposed to. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. It suggests cleansing first then using this toner before moisturising.
After I have used the Evolu cream cleanser I spritz this on my face making sure I don't get it in my nose, eyes or mouth. It is very, very lightly scented. It gives off almost a fresh earthy scent. I do love the feeling of fresh it gives you when you spray it on. It's like an instant wakeup call. Once you spray it on and let it settle a bit, it leaves a slight sting at the end. It’s not painful more surprising. I am used to this from alcohol heavy toners but I didn’t expect it from this.
Once it’s dried on to my skin I apply a moisturiser. It has now been two months since I started using this combination. My skin has the appearance of a more even skin. It’s not so dry anymore and the red flaky skin in between my brows has almost disappeared. The redness has reduced and my skin is now plump to the touch and bounces back when I touch it. It is now well hydrated and feels like it’s young again. Evolu I am a believer and the cost of the skin care range that used to scare me will now be a part of my life. Patene said it best……..”because you’re worth it”.
Tips: Use the Evolu skin care range with this for best results
