I've been using this product for 5 months. I really loved it it was so good, gentle and never broke me out.
iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Toner 22 ingredients
Tried and true
I have used this toner for about 3-4 months and it has helped with my combination/oily skin. It is gentle enough not to dry out my skin, while still really helping with the sebum production.
I have moved on from it just because I want to experiment with other products - otherwise it is a tried and true product: it has even helped with keeping the ocassional breakouts at bay.
Brighten my skin a lot. Very very hydrating. Literally so underrated compare to other popular toner, this toner contains much more helpful ingredients and targets much more wider skins concerns. If u have that one feeling of tightness and dry after double cleansing. This is the toner for u. Very soothing ๐๐
