Hi there! Today’s post is about this Asda Kind & Gentle Facial Toner for sensitive skin.
This toner is free from alcohol, fragrance and colourants. It contains pro-vitamin B5 and aloe vera, and it promises to help tighten pores.
I’ve been using this toner for a while (the bottle is almost empty) – initially every morning after the shower, then just as the last step of my cleansing routine when I remove my make-up.
The reason I reduced the use of this toner to 2-3 times a week only is that I noticed my skin getting mildly irritated around my eyes when I use this toner for a few days in a row.
However, there are no issues at all when I use this toner once every 2-3 days to remove the last traces of make-up and cleanser before I apply my night cream.
I don’t like the scent of the toner. Since it’s fragrance-free, it smells like the sum of its ingredients. And it doesn’t smell good. Personally, I would have preferred a fragranced toner. I appreciate some people are sensitive to fragrances, and maybe they can appreciate this toner more.
Still, the toner just isn’t for me – because of its odd scent and also because I would not be able to use it every day as it caused mild irritation. I always stopped using it when I noticed the first signs of skin irritation. I will finish this toner, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
If you’re interested, Asda Kind & Gentle Facial Toner is available as 200ml for £1. This toner carries The Vegan Society‘s logo, and this means that the toner is certified vegan & cruelty-free.
