Dermafirm Moist Barrier Boosting Face Toner M4, 6.76 fl oz

I got the oil-free, fragrance-free version of this product that was supposed to help moisturizer soak in. I was surprised that it really was completely fragrance-free and not oily. The claim was so true I wondered if it was just water (that is the first ingredient listed), however when I used my Laneige skin care it actually did absorb better. The Laneige Water Bank felt very gummy on my skin without it, but using it after this it spreads better and soaks in leaving my skin feeling moisturized rather than tacky. I noticed my skin looked better after a few days (this winter has been more brutal than most drying it out and causing breakouts). After about a week my breakouts had finally stopped too. I like it better than the Mario Badescu or Thayer brands I’ve used, but with it’s price tag it’ll definitely be more splurge than staple.

I live in a dry climate and have extremely dry skin, even more so in the winter. Any additional moisture I can get, I'm getting! I haven't noticed a huge difference over the past couple weeks using this toner, more on the level of -- let's say there's a skin dryness scale of 1-100, my skin seems to be averaging 5 points less dry than normal. So it's a difference, but I'm not sure I'll permanently add it to my skincare routine. Maybe if you're someone who has always noticed a big difference from toners it'll work better for you! I generally find that I keep trying them and never find them to be worth it (and yet I never learn, haha). It hasn't made me break out, which is always my main concern with a new skincare product. (Stupid parents with their stupid "acne well into their 50s" genes)

My wife has been using this product for a couple of month and it seems helping on her dry and sensitive skin. She told me this toner is oil free which doesn’t provide that sticky feeling and the creamy water keeps the hydration level for nourishing the skin. She is very pleased with this product and will continue to using it.

Right out the gates I was pleased after reviewing ingredients. Right up front you have propanediol that helps draw moisture into the skin. Betaine for anti aging preventing wrinkles and anti inflammatory benefits. No scent to product and has a watery almost gel feel to it. When applied to my face after cleansing it felt very wet on my face. After a few minutes it did soak nicely into my skin. Left a very faint tightness feeling but that maybe the intention of the product. So far I’m pleased.
