I love gel moisturizers. But it was not as good as I expected it to be. It seemed like it absorbs into skin fairly quickly, but somehow it sits on top of my face and feels greasy after the application. I do not understand why here.
It gives some refreshing feeling though when you use in the morning. It also has some strong yet light and fresh scent, which was little irritating on the skin. I do not think the fragrance is good those with sensitive skin.
Great for use during warmer months as its hydrating effect is average. I also did not expect that jar to be glass. Great when you hold the jar in your hands, but not great for travelling. Would not repurchase.

I love using it during the summer to refresh my face. It mists really fine and gives the perfect amount of hydration to skin when you need for a finished makeup look. It gives a soothing effect that feels lovely when you stayed outside for too long and your skin feels irritated.
I also love that this comes in different sizes, such as for travelling. I want to remind that this is not a miracle that will tackle all your skincare problems at once, to me the most important things is the feeling you get after each use.
Quick tip: You are able to buy the bestselling French skincare products in France or any other European countries at very affordable price, for example I bought this for like 4 bucks at a French supermarket. Will definitely stock up on this during my future travels overseas.

Affordable toner with average result. I often use acid toners as my skincare step after cleansing. It is gentle enough, yet very moisturizing compared to the acid toners I use, such as Glycolic toner from The Ordinary and REN Glow Tonic. I really can't approve that it helped with my other skincare problems, such as hyperpigmentation, redness and acne scar, as well as pimples.
But it is a good way to boost your skin moisture while ensuring that your skin is completely and properly clean as it effectively removes surface debris. However, I think I will repurchase it because it is one of few products I can happily afford to buy from the Kiehl’s, my favorite brand.

I have used the green sebium version which I did not actually love. I was left with the impression that the green one was average and quite similar to cheaper drugstore micellar waters.
But I was impressed with how comfortable and gentle the red sensibo H20 version is. It really gave me the soothing and fresh feeling. I wipe my face with it on cotton pad and every night and I feel that it effortlessly makes my face clean from dirt and makeup and I am ready for the next stage of cleansing. Most importantly, my skin is not stripped afterwards as most other micellar or regular cleansing waters I have tried made my skin drier.
Also, I love that it comes with a nozzle dispenser that ensures no spills. So great for travelling especially if you have the smaller bottle.
The only con for me is that it does not effectively clean the waterproof makeup, including my loreal double extend mascara. You have to press the soaked cotton pad on your eye and wait a few seconds for the mascara to come off easily, without rubbing. But that is not a problem for me. I always finish with water-based foam cleaner, which completely wipes away everything on the skin. It is my new skincare stable and will always repurchase.

Never knew how comfortable and time-saving toner pads are, until I bought @cosrx One Step Original Clear Pad. This is quite easy to use, especially, if you are in rush. I wipe my face skin with as a toner after washing with foam and that helps my skin calm down and completely cleans it.
Each pad, despite being very thin, is soaked with the perfect amount of toning solution and enough to cover my entire face and neck. Not too harsh, but very effective, perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
After using this, the look of blemishes, blackheads and redness is really minimized and improved.
I use the embossing side firstly to get the exfoliating feeling and then wipe with the softer side. As a result, I can feel and stay confident that my skin is completely clean.
Will buy again and will include it in my all-time favorite list.

Toner is probably one of the most important steps of my morning and evening skincare. It leaves my skin with a clean-feeling and ready for next products. So I like to experiment with different toners, targeting different skin concerns, mostly acne scars and pimples. I had a high expectation of the @renskincare Glow Tonic that it would become stable in my routine same as more affordable products like Pixi and The Ordinary ones. I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately, I couldn't.
It did not help with my hyperpigmentation, acne scars, redness and hormonal breakouts. Nothing changed in the slightest. However, it may have added a little bit of radiance to overall appearance the morning after. But actually, any average skincare products with active ingredients is able do this to my skin.
Another thing I hated was that the really sticky film it leaves on my skin after application and that does not quickly absorb. So uncomfortable and annoying. It also felt extremely heavy every time I apply it with cotton pad. It has a horrible and weird orange-y smell. Would not repurchase. If you have sensitive skin and thinking to give it a try, be cautious, it was really harsh and gave tingly feeling even to my not so sensitive skin.
