 My thoughts

~PACKAGING~

Simple tube packaging

~SCENT~

It has quite a strong scent and I hate it! 

~TEXTURE~

Watery-gel

~PRODUCT~

I started using this 3 December 2015

It is very easy to spread and apply.
It is sticky and takes quite long for the product to sink into the skin...
No allergic reaction.
I think this is pretty good. The blackheads are under control when I use this.
It did not completely banish the blackheads but I think it did reduce a little.

As for the pore size, I did not think it is smaller in any way.
I also notice that the occasional pimples on my face were less when I started using this.

Pros

Easy to spread

No allergic reaction

Blackheads are under control

Affordable

Cons

Strong scent
Very sticky

Repurchase?

Yes, when I need to keep the blackheads under control!

Recommendation?

I do recommend this when it is under promotion as it is worth a try!

 My thoughts

I bought this because it was on promotions!

~PACKAGING~

Simple spray packaging
Sadly, the pump did not work

~SCENT~

It has a very strong scent and I hate it! I have no idea how to explain the scent so I will not bother explaining in case I misled you.

~TEXTURE~

Just like water

~PRODUCT~

I started using this 21 November 2015

It stings my skin a little the first time I used it.
I tried using it again the next day. It did not sting as much.
I avoid my eye areas because my eyes are sensitive to it.
I decided to continue using it. lol
It feels light on skin...
BUT
It is super sticky! I had to wait for quite a long time for the stickiness to disappear completely!

After using it for more than 2 weeks, I noticed that there were a few red patches on my cheeks.
I noticed it a little too late...
It took a while for my cheeks to heal.. lol
When I stopped using it, my cheeks gradually became better...
I tried the toner once again... two days later, there were red rashes...
Now that I am sure this is the main cause of the rashes...
It will probably rot somewhere... lol

Pros

Cannot think of any

Cons

Strong scent

Extremely sticky

Did not do what it claims

Allergic reaction

Repurchase?

No, I prefer Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner

Recommendation?

I do not recommend this to those with sensitive skin and those who hates stickiness.
