Review: Thann Astringent Toner with Shiso and Algae Extract

I'M SO SORRY I'VE BEEN AWAY FOR SO LONG!
But I have a great product to recommend for everyone!

Voila, Thann's Astringent Toner! I've never been a great believer in toners, having only used Clinique's toner for oily skin a couple times when I was still in high school, and as I didn't see any results, I wrote toners off as a gimmick and an extra useless step in my skincare.

I picked up Thann's toner WAY BACK in March during my Bangkok trip (damn you, 3 for 2 promotions!) and I am so grateful I did. The clear solution has a lovely scent (slightly herbal with floral hints) and leaves my skin feeling refreshed.

I noticed a huge difference-I suddenly had almost NO BREAKOUTS (albeit the occasional hormonal spot right before my period) and my complexion looked more even with less discolourations.

This toner is very gentle, which is great for my combination/normal skin but please note that my slightly oilier friend reported that she didn't really see any results with this product. Personally, I think that this extra step has a neutralizing and calming effect, combating the damage from harsh tap water.

Another rave review for Thann! I really appreciate their natural skincare products and am currently eyeing their facial oatmeal scrub... would you be interested to see a review in that? Let me know!
