Advantages: Protects, moisturises, just as good as designer skin care

...fan and while browsing in the shop I saw their Vitamin E range. I haven't used any products of this range (in fact any of their skin care ranges till then). I ran out of my Simple Toner I thought was a bit on the poor side (it just felt like water) so I thought why not and bought it. Packaging As with most Body Shop products the toner comes in a simple but effective flip-top cylindrical bottle that has the dark green Body Shop logo on. ...
...and are great for recycling. The Vitamin E range has its distinctive light pink colour too. How it works Using wheat germ oil extract rich in Vitamin E works through its double action. First, it removes dirt and excess oil trapped in pores, as well as moisturises and protects the skin to leave it refreshed and cleansed. How to use The toner isn't oil free, but it is very soft and light to the touch and only needs as much of oily ... Read review

Advantages: very natural

...comes to toners in general Ole Henriksen uses a lot of natural ingredients in his products that really helps cause that is what we need now a day's, and if you have noticed it has a short expiry date. The amazing thing about this product that it balances your sebum (oils) because your face needs most of the oil that it produces, so we can't remove all the oils otherwise wrinkles will run after us, but it keeps your oils balanced, it as well refreshes ...

Advantages: Value for money, easy to use, cruelty free.
Disadvantages: No real benefits for me. Skin was rather sensitive afterwards.

...bust. So, what about Montagne Jeunesse's "5 minute miracle face tonic"? I recently tried this out for myself to see how the promises made on the sachet stand up to the real-life test. There are 3 varieties of this face tonic, so let me first make it clear exactly which one I'm reviewing. It is the Dead Sea Minerals, anti-stress variety in the blue sachet, intended to moisturise, tone and rejuvenate tired skin. (The other varieties are orange oil ...
...in Boots was 89p. Montagne Jeunesse products can also be found in Superdrug and larger supermarkets. The Sachet The shape of the sachet is a teardrop, but the design must have been updated since Ciao's picture, as the teardrop is now the other way up. The sachet of the Dead Sea Minerals tonic is predominantly pale blue with a photo of a woman wearing the blue fabric face mask. "Calms and soothes the skin, lifts the spirit," proclaims the ...

Advantages: leaves skin soft
Disadvantages: no real difference to the appearance of my skin

I love No.7's soft and soothed cleanser and have been using it for years, and not long after I first started using it, I also purchased a bottle of their soft and soothed toner to go with it. I remember when I first started using this, I had used it once or twice, and then noticed that I had come out in a few spots, so I put it down to the toner, and relegated it to the back of the cupboard. I always thought that toner was just really a product ...
...was a bit of a marketing con by the manufacturers, a relatively useless product, that they sell alongside their cleansers to make an extra profit. I then read somewhere that toner is actually supposed to help close enlarged pores, as well as get rid of any excess cleanser. I have started getting quite noticeable enlarged pores around my nose, so I fished this out of the cupboard and started using it again. ~About the product~ This toner is made ... Read review

Advantages: Cleans away impurities
Disadvantages: None

Marks And Spencer toner When wandering around M and s, I am often struck by how much their products seem to have changed over the years, and am usually impressed by their range of toiletries and make up. Being in need of a new toner, and always willing to try something new, I decided to have a go with this one. This is marketed as a calming toner, with camomile to calm and aloe vera to soothe. It is suitable for sensitive skin, fragrance and alcohol ...
...no promises that using the Marks and Spencer moisturiser will have miraculous effects. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY Available instore from Marks and Spencer or online, this costs £2.50 for 200ml VERDICT I do like this toner. It is easy to apply, and a quick sweep across the face and neck does indeed reveal that I am usually pretty bad at removing all traces of make up. The product is very gentle on the skin, and does not feel harsh or abrasive; after ... Read review
