Which brand of toner is good? Are these high-performance waters really useful?

There is an obvious difference in the efficacy and ingredients between lotions that cost dozens of yuan a bottle and those that cost hundreds of yuan a bottle. Today we will analyze some lotions that are considered expensive to see whether they really deserve the reputation of "aristocrats among water".

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence  

Reference price: 1000RMB

The first thing I want to talk about is the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, which is known as the "magic water". How powerful is this water that costs only one thousand yuan a bottle? So Benny will first take a look at this "noble".

Don’t be scared when you look at the ingredient list, because it only has 7 ingredients. Many people may ask: Is it worth spending so much money to only buy such a small amount of ingredients?

Don’t jump to conclusions, because the ingredients in it are very important. Although the ingredients are relatively few, the filtrate of galactosyl fermentation products accounts for more than 90% of the total, and it is the core ingredient of SK-II, Pitera.

This is a natural yeast extract that produces small molecules such as B vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc., which can help improve the skin's natural physiological functions, balance oils, adjust the skin's overall condition, and make the skin translucent.

I have used the Fairy Water before. Because it does not contain alcohol or fragrance, it feels very gentle when used. The texture is as refreshing as water, without any stickiness or irritation.

After using it a few times, you will find that the water and oil balance is well adjusted, and the skin looks much more delicate and translucent. Even my husband said that my skin has improved. I am so happy!

But I still have to complain about its smell, it really tastes too much like saliva... The smell of natural yeast is really hard to accept, SK-II, don’t you really want to find a way to improve it?

Albion Toning Essence

Reference price: 600RMB

The next thing I want to talk about is ALBION’s “Healthy Water”, which, like the Fairy Water, has the title of one of the “Four Great Waters of Japan”. The other two products are Golden Water and Bio Water, which will be discussed later.

The main ingredients of health water seem to be very sincere, with moisturizing, whitening, freckle removal, soothing and antioxidant ingredients all available. However, health water contains alcohol and fragrance, so people with particularly sensitive skin should use it with caution.

Its main functions are very similar to those of the magic water, both of which are mainly focused on controlling oil, anti-inflammation, and regulating skin pH.

Therefore, the ingredients include European horse chestnut seed extract and North American witch hazel extract, both of which have good permeability and can soothe and anti-allergic effects on skin redness and acne.

It is also worth mentioning that it also contains an antioxidant ingredient called glutathione, which has an excellent anti-aging effect. It can be seen that the ingredients of healthy water are indeed very attractive.

Its color looks a bit like soapy water. It can be used as a wet compress or in combination with their penetrating lotion, first with lotion and then with water. Benny thinks it is more effective for oily skin and acne-prone skin. If there are red and swollen pimples on the skin, a wet compress will quickly subside the pimples. The anti-inflammatory and oil-removing effects are very obvious.
