I have not used toner before. In fact, I do not believe in the effects of toners. I do not get why I have to put on toner before my moisturizer but...
Shiseido The Skincare Hydro-refining Softening Lotion is the toner that I am using after cleansing with my Shiseido The Skincare Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam. It is supposed to prepare my skin for the moisturizer that I am using. I have no complaints about it. It is not greasy and is easy to apply ( I do not use cotton pads *hehe*). I do not know what it is doing but days into using this and the Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisturizer, people were giving me compliments about my skin. I do not get that anymore, I am assuming I have plateau-d :) or as we say in the Philippines, "todo na 'to!" *hehe!*
I am yet to finish the bottle that I bought last December or was it November? So I am happy that it has lasted for more than three months already. I hope it will last for more than six months so I can justify to myself the price. :) I am getting old and I have to take care of my face... seriously. I can see age creeping in... boo!
I have bought other bottles of gunk from my recent trip to Duty Free, they sell cheaper Shiseido there so if you can, stock up! I will share that next time.
