Review on 🥑 SKINFOOD Avocado Rich Toner 180ml - Nourishing Facial Toner with Avocado Extract and Oil, Moisturizing and Minimizing Dark Spots - Korean Skincare Toner for Hydrated, Healthy Skin by Robin Williams

By age 32, I had persistent hormonal acne and dry, flaky skin (partly due to Colorado's dry climate). I deserve clean, youthful skin. I was delighted to find that my dream skin inspired the routine in Korean cosmetics. Best of all, almost all of the products I tried were relatively inexpensive and easily available on Amazon. My acne is now gone and my skin tone and texture is so supple and smooth. I have provided a list of my routine that includes this product below. I'm not saying this is the best or only way to get my results, I just thought others might be interested in what I used. Cream (Purchased from Ulta for a fraction of the $6.99 price) First Toner - Mario Badescu Face Mist with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, 4 oz. - $7.00 - It's like a sip of water for your face. I love this stuff and will randomly spray it again throughout the day when I need to refresh. The scent is a bit harsh in my opinion, but (almost like a perfume) I'm willing to ignore it since rose and aloe do so much for my skin. I have only used pure rose water in the past which has a very pleasant smell but I like the spray better with this product. It's a nice thick toner, much more nourishing than the Western aqueous toners I'm used to. The smell is very light and green (that's the best I can think of to explain) I love the smell! I smell it on my face from time to time and it gives me an invigorating charge. This toner moisturizes and soothes my skin well and I will definitely buy it again. A little goes a long way with this stuff, so it's not going to happen anytime soon! Treatment - Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum with Vitamin C and Natural Green Tea, 2 oz - $13.99 - I use it throughout the day. to make my skin feel hydrated and give my skin a boost of antioxidants to fight aging. It's a lightweight serum (which is why I use it under makeup), but it takes a while to fully absorb and dry on my skin. After putting this on, I usually head down to breakfast before returning to the end. The aroma tends more towards green tea, which is refreshing again in the morning. Milky syrup, slightly viscous, with minimal stickiness. Eye Cream - Loreal Revitalift Eye Cream 0.5oz (14ml) (14ml) - (Purchased from Ulta) Face Cream - [MIZON] Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml (1.52 fl oz) ) Pack of 2 - 9.99 $ for a pack of 2 - A lightweight moisturizer that's perfect under makeup. This product does not have a strong odor. The consistency is unique, something between a gel and a cream. Glides on smoothly and when combined with my other moisturizing products, delivers a decent amount of hydration. I don't like using occlusive products during the day and this moisturizer is perfect for that. - Purchased from Ulta for the bargain price of $6.99. Double Cleansing - [2 total] The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil + Foam SET - $14.21 - Cleansing oil feels light and silky. In the evening I rub 1 dose into the skin and it dissolves the day make-up well. After removing all of my makeup, I wash some of it off with water before moving on to a sudsy cleanser. My only complaint is that the smell is a bit strong and can sting my eyes if I'm not careful. It leaves my skin soft and clear. The foam cleanser does a good job of removing the oil left on my face. The smell of washing foam is more bearable for me. It comes out of the tube shimmering white and is very gentle. These two cleansers are good for cleaning my face and preparing it without the typical feeling of tension. They make my skin soft and hydrated. Peeling - Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System Microdermabrasion Treatment 1 Kit - $21.99 - once a week - I used to use the Philosophy Microderma Kit, but this one offers exactly the same results for half the price. This scrub leaves my skin soft like a baby, but it feels a little rough so I don't want to use it too often. I love the fresh citrus scent of the crystals and the warming lather after applying the activator. Since I only use it once a week, it lasts VERY long and is totally worth the price. It's a nice thick toner, much more nourishing than the Western aqueous toners I'm used to. The smell is very light and green (that's the best I can think of to explain) I love the smell! I smell it on my face from time to time and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner moisturizes and soothes my skin well and I will definitely buy it again. A little goes a long way with this stuff, so it's not going to happen anytime soon! Essence - [Cosrx] Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml - $15.85 - I only use it at night because it leaves a light film on my face that I find uncomfortable under makeup. It dries quickly and one wipe is enough to cover my entire face and neck. It doesn't smell, but it has the slimy texture of a snail (it's 96% slime!) and can be a bit gooey when all is said and done. I have also used this on some iron burns to heal faster and minimize scarring with great success. Treatment - MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule - Anti-Wrinkle - Multifunctional Formula - $11.43 - Anti-Wrinkle - Multifunctional Formula - Clear viscous liquid. Not as slimy as essence. Odorless, absorbs quickly. I pay close attention to snail care products at night because I've read that copper peptides, found naturally in the snail canal, decrease the effectiveness of vitamin C and vice versa. Spot Treatment - [MIZON] Acence Blemish Out Pink Spot 30ml Essential - Works wonders to reduce blemishes overnight. When I first started I used it quite a bit, but after a while of using all these products I didn't have any significant acne anymore! Sheet Mask - Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Mask, 16 Combo Packs - $10.40 - I use it once a week. I know sheet masks are the hottest thing in Korean beauty, but I don't think they'll give me anything other than a relaxing home spa. I just don't see them offering much and probably won't be buying more. MIZON Korean Cosmetics Snail Repair Eye Cream, 1 oz 1 oz - $13.98 - Lightweight, absorbs quickly. The container is pretty generous, and a little goes a long way. I think I'll have it for a while! It has no smell. Face Cream - MIZON Black Snail All-in-One Cream, 2.40 oz - $10.49 - Like all the Mizon Snail products I've tried, this is a very simple introduction to the world of snail skin care. It has minimal odor and light texture. Minimal slime factor, one would not even suspect in a blind comparison that it is a snail. It is cream in color and light in texture. It does not work as a wall occlusive, if you wish to do so you may need to add another moisturizer at night. Facial Oils - I use a blend of two oils applied at the same time: Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil 4 oz - 100% Pure, Cold Pressed, Certified Organic. - $13.95 - and Radha Beauty Moroccan Argan Oil For Hair, Face & Skin, 4 oz - USDA Organic 100% Pure Cold Press Virgin Oil from Morocco - by Radha Beauty - $12.95 - I like using oils, because I feel like they really keep everything sealed inside and hydrating for the whole night. Rosehip oil is a very yellow-orange color so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day, but I sometimes mix argan oil with foundation when I want a more dewy look.
