[#My Own Money] Skinfood Yuja C Toner

1. Why I used Yuja Toner

When I was looking for a toner with a good scent,
I came across the famous Skinfood Yuja(=Yuzu) C Dark Spot Clear Toner!

I liked the concept of Skinfood’s healthy ingredients,
and I was excited that the fresh yuja scent would make me feel better.

 

2. Product Introduction

• Product Name
  • Skinfood Yuja C Dark Spot Clear Toner
• Capacity and Price
  • Capacity : 200ml
  • Price : Less than ₩20,000 (~$14) [varies depending on where and when you buy it]
• Key ingredients & benefits
  • This functional product contains yuja extract and vitamin C
    derivatives to help whiten and care for blemishes.
    With regular use, it is said to revitalize skin and reveal a clearer complexion.
    It also contains niacinamide for a synergistic effect!
• Packaging
  • A clear plastic container with a refreshing yellowish tint
    that makes it easy to see how much is left.
    The lid has a nice sized hole to scoop out the toner,
    so it wasn’t difficult to control the amount.

3. Honest Feeling

• Texture and Application
  • It is a watery formula that looks like water.
    It’s not very viscous, so I think it’s a good product to use with a cotton pad.
    When I put it on my hand, it flows lightly, but when I put it on my skin,
    I was satisfied with the way it spreads smoothly without any streaks.
• Scent
  • As soon as I opened the cap, I could smell the fresh, natural yuja scent!
    I loved it, but if you are sensitive to scents, please note.
• Absorption and Finish
  • The lightweight formula absorbs really quickly.
    It sinks into the skin in no time and leaves a fresh finish without any stickiness or shine.
    Immediately after application, my skin feels instantly moisturized and has a subtle dewy glow.

4. Analyzing the results

how did my skin change after using the product?

Most importantly, I’ve been using it consistently, morning and night, for about 2 months.

• Skin tone & complexion
  • Honestly, the first week or two I used it, I was like, “Oh, it’s just a moisturizing, refreshing toner.
    After about a month of consistent use,
    I noticed that my overall complexion was clearer and more evenly toned.
• Blemishes & marks
  • I definitely noticed that recent red or brownish acne marks were fading faster than before,
    but it didn’t dramatically fade older, deeper-seated blemishes or freckles.
• Moisture
  • It did help with quick dryness.
• Irritation
  • I didn’t experience any particular irritation or breakouts.
    (But be sure to test if you have sensitive skin!)
