Which brand of astringent water is good? When is astringent water most effective? Many girls have heard of astringent water, but have rarely used it, so let’s learn about it together.

Which brand of astringent water is good?

1. Dr. Ci:Labo Pore Astringent: This product is also very famous in the pore astringent world. It can be wiped on the face with a cotton pad or applied wet. It has a good astringent and oil-control effect. It has a certain cooling and stimulating feeling when used. It is recommended for oily skin and should be used with caution on sensitive skin. Only 100ml is a little bit insufficient.

2. Naris Pore Astringent: This astringent has just started to be sold in China and is not very famous, but it has won the COsmE Beauty Award in Japan for two consecutive years. The working principle is the same as Dr. Ci:Labo, and it is also a medical cosmetic, but it is gentler and has no irritation or odor when used. In addition to cleansing and oil control, it also has a good effect of hydrating and moisturizing.

3. Clinique Brightening Water (No. 2 Water, No. 3 Water): This water from Clinique mainly emphasizes its keratin care function, which can make the skin smoother and more transparent. But in fact, it also contains oil-controlling and astringent ingredients, not to mention hyaluronic acid for hydration. Both No. 2 water and No. 3 water have a strong smell of alcohol. Clinique says that their alcohol is specially developed and will not harm the skin. After using one bottle, I can accept the results. My skin is indeed smoother and more translucent, and the oiliness has improved a lot.

4. Innisfree Pore Conditioning Water: This water is specially designed for oily skin. In fact, it is also a secondary cleansing type. Its function is to clean sebum and dirt in pores, and improve oily skin, large pores, blackheads, and dullness. It's just that what it emphasizes here is the role played by their unique volcanic mud composition. In fact, if your skin's stratum corneum is thin or too sensitive, ordinary oil-control pore astringent water is recommended. The effect may not be as obvious as the secondary cleansing type, but long-term skin conditioning can also improve the condition of pores.

5. Kiehl's Calendula Toner: This toner is Kiehl's star product. Its main functions are to moisturize, soothe sensitivity and regulate the water and oil balance of the skin. The main plant ingredients among them, such as calendula, can also soothe, resist allergies and regulate skin oil secretion, making it very suitable for sensitive skin.

6. byphasse witch hazel toner: The main ingredients of this toner are witch hazel extract and basic moisturizing ingredients. Witch hazel is a very common and effective astringent ingredient. It can control oil secretion, effectively increase the skin's moisture content, balance the pH value, shrink pores, and has certain antibacterial and soothing functions. The 500ml capacity is very cost-effective.

7. Ziaja Manuka Toner: The main oil-control ingredient of this toner is Manuka leaf extract, which has the functions of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, balancing skin pH and regulating oil secretion. A natural brand from Poland, also more suitable for sensitive skin.

8. Dr. Li’s Pore Refining Toner: Dr. Li’s product is also well-known among domestic oil-control and blackhead-removing products. This pore-refining toner is also added with extracts such as witch hazel to help the skin control oil and moisturize. The price is relatively cheap. The third type is an oil-control spray type, which is recommended to be used in combination with the previous two types. You can carry it with you to replenish moisture at any time to improve facial oiliness.

9. Caudalie Grape Essence Toner: This Caudalie Queen Water is also very famous. It is made from a mixture of grape extract, rosemary and peppermint essential oils. The spray is fine and can eliminate facial shine, replenish skin moisture in time, make skin softer, smoother and more delicate, and make subsequent makeup fit better.

10. La Roche-Posay Gentle Astringent Spray: This spray is known as the oil-absorbing tissue for the skin. It can instantly improve the oiliness of the face, tighten pores, and soothe the skin. It is suitable for fitness, spraying when sitting in front of the computer for a long time, and controlling oil before makeup. However, I heard that antiperspirant ingredients are added to it to make the feeling drier after spraying, but I don’t know if it’s true.

When is astringent water effective?

Generally speaking, astringent compresses are the best. After cleaning your face, pour astringent water onto a cotton pad and apply it to areas with large pores and wait for about 5 minutes. Using astringent water in this way can maximize its effectiveness, allowing the skin to absorb the nutrients inside, thereby shrinking pores and balancing facial oil. Of course, if you think it is a waste to apply astringent on your face, you can also wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in astringent, which can also shrink the pores, but the effect may not be as good.

Okay, that’s all the explanation about astringent water. I hope you all understand it clearly now, my friends.
