In my skincare routine I use two different types of toner. My morning toner is a more moisturizing, soothing, and gentle toner. My evening toner is more of a cleansing and purifying toner to remove the gunk that accumulates on my face from going outside. This is a review for the Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Skin Toner which is my current morning toner and is great for the summer months.
Here's a detailed product review with reasons why I am a fan of this:
Packaging: Bottle with screw top.They upgraded the packaging from an opaque bottle to a transparent bottle. I definitely prefer the new bottle - it is easier to see if you are running out - with the old bottle you had to hold it up to the light to see how much you had left, which of course was annoying.
Color / Consistency: The color is clear and slightly milky. This toner is noticeably thicker than other toners I have used. It almost is a hybrid between a liquid and a gel. Some people think this is a lotion because of this, but it does not provide enough moisture to be considered a lotion - you'd need something else on top of it. I have normal skin and I still need something on top of it to moisturize.

Scent: Light perfumed smell
Pros:
- Gentle - good for sensitive skin
- Moisturizing
- Skin softening
- Skin calming
- The scent is not overwhelming - as someone who doesn't like to use Laneige products because they are too perfumed, this product has just the right amount of scent
Cons:
- Somewhat more on the pricey side, but I suppose the bottle is a decent size to make up for this
- I can't say I have seen a noticeable difference on blackheads, the Benton Aloe toner seems to be better for that purpose (detailed review to come)
- As the box mentions this product is for normal to combination skin, this product will not be the most optimal toner for those with oily skin
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5.0
Overall this is a really solid toner that is worth a try. I've purchased it two times already and find it a good back up for those red and inflamed skin days.
