Etude House AC Clinic Daily Toner

Hello again. It seems I may be able to proceed with brand feature for this week. I reviewed a foundation from Etude House yesterday and for today I have a skincare product from the same brand. I also bought this one from their The Great Princess Sale at 20% off discount which is not too shabby as this is already priced reasonably. I picked this up in hopes of finding a HG toner to combat my skin's oiliness and tendency towards hormonal acne.

Packaging: This toner came in a big green, glass bottle. It's quite heavy so I imagine this won't be travel-friendly unless you transfer the liquid in a smaller, less heavy plastic bottle. I like that there's a seal on the bottle as this guarantees that it's still new and unopened. I also like the clean,  minimal look of the packaging. One thing I didn't like was the opening. It's quite difficult to dispense the right amount of product from the bottle as I have to shake it so the liquid could come out. I think a pump or spray dispenser would have been effective.

This also smells a bit herbal, which I don't mind. It doesn't smell too cloying and can be pleasant and soothing. The formula is watery and has a cooling effect when applied on the skin. Although there's alcohol in the ingredients, it doesn't smell of one and doesn't sting even I apply it one some red patches on my skin.

Result: I've been using this toner for about about a month, applying every morning and night. I had some blemishes that were healing and red patches on the skin prior to using this. In a month's time, the blemishes had healed completely and are now starting to fade and the skin redness had also dissipated. There were also no hormonal acne that popped up during that time of the month. My skin is now looking really clear, smooth and even. This toner is really good and I might be repurchasing as soon as I ran out. I'm also considering trying out the lotion and cleansing foam.
