Gel is a skin care product that many people have used, but few people know about it. So can gel replace toner? What is the difference between condensation and water?

Can gel replace toner?

The effect of gel is similar to that of lotion and cream. They are used after toner to further lock in moisture and moisturize the skin.

Cannot replace toner alone

If you want to put on makeup, I suggest you do this: toner - lotion - primer - foundation

Because the gel is easy to rub off and may remove makeup, it is good to use it before going to bed at night

The texture of the gel is thicker than ordinary lotion, but lighter than essence. It has a liquid gel texture that is refreshing and easy to absorb, and does not cause any burden to the skin. Currently, skin care brands’ development of gel not only stays in the initial hydration stage, but also rises to the level of locking moisture. After washing your face and absorbing all the moisture with a towel, using gel can condition the skin and supply moisture to the stratum corneum, which is a preparatory stage for absorbing nutrients. It supplies moisture to the skin and has the function of regulating the water and oil balance of the skin. It is pure, moist and easily absorbed, and is a must-have skin care product for all seasons.

What is the difference between condensation and water?

1. Texture

In ancient Chinese, "gel" refers to condensed dewdrops. Now it mainly refers to a type of cosmetics, belonging to the category of gel. Gel = essence + lotion.

The texture of the gel is thicker than ordinary lotion, but lighter than essence. It has a liquid gel texture that is refreshing and easy to absorb, and does not cause any burden to the skin.

Gels are generally transparent, thinner than lotions, but thicker than toners. Some gels can replace lotions, but generally gels have special effects, such as removing red blood streaks and moisturizing.

2. Form

1. Moisturizing gel is solid, between water and lotion.

2. Moisturizing water is liquid and belongs to the category of lotion, including toner, cleansing water, softener, etc.

3. Efficacy

1. Moisturizing gel usually contains gel ingredients, which will have a mild moisturizing effect

2. Moisturizing water can quickly replenish moisture to the skin's surface, but it does not stay there for long and cannot achieve a moisturizing effect.

Moisturizing gel can help the skin speed up the removal of aging cells, making the skin more refreshed and accelerating the absorption of subsequent whitening products. However, removing dead skin cells can easily cause dry skin, so it is best used with moisturizing products.
