Review: Eskinol Gluta-Milk Whitening Facial Toner

It's been a while since I've last posted here because I was busy and I've been travelling and procrastinating. I should really post more and upload things here since I should have a lot to to talk about.. BUT!!! My main problem is my brain derps too much and I cant find a good intro most of the time so I end up dilly-dallying.



This post's item review would be for this product:

DESCRIPTION: 
Glutathione Complex, purifies with a combination of 4 powerful antioxidants (Glutathione, Vitamin E,C and B3) to clear away impurities and reduce melanin formation for visibly whiter skin. Milk Essentials, norishes to soften and smoothen skin. 


I've never been the one to stick to skincare and things that require frequent and scheduled usage but since my skin have been crying out for attention I decided to stick to a routine and deal with the dark spots and enlarged pores on my face. I've heard that toners are a very important part of a good skincare routine so I randomly took a bottle of Eskinol Gluta-Milk Whitening Facial Toner from the department store.

After washing my face I'd use this one right after to remove the dirt that I've missed and so far it's proven to be a good follow up as it can really clean up what a facial wash can miss. The alcohol content is quite high but I didn't really mind because I have really oily skin and I kinda like the drying effect (it only lasts for barely 30 mins though). After using it my skin feels plump and a bit itchy but being stubborn and not being sure whether it was my new facial wash, I decided to stick with it a bit longer. BIG mistake! After a day or two, huge pimples started popping up and my face felt swollen and itchy. I still went on to use it for about a week and a half but the pimples wont let up so I had no choice but to conclude that it was the toner's fault and had to stop. I passed this on to my mother but she didn't like it either and I decided to throw it out since it's basically useless for us.



Pros:

Cheap
Smells good
Cleans up dirt well
Can be bought at department stores


Cons:

Has Alcohol
Doesn't deliver what it promises
High chances of giving breakouts


Rating:

1/5


Final Thoughts:


If you have sensitive skin or just don't want to risk a breakout in general then I WONT recommend this product. It does absolutely does nothing on lightening dark spots and based on other people's experiences; gives breakouts to almost everyone.
