First post on here, apologies if I miss any rules!
Quick backstory: I started getting into skincare in April (actually the reason why I started this new account) and it's been a blast! I wanted to share with you some of the products that have worked for me (and some that haven't) starting with masks and toner pads. Most of these are labeled "for daily use", but l use them less frequently.
L-R, up-down:
-
VT PDRN Daily Masks (30 sheets), 8/10:
I'm not completely convinced with PDRN as an active ingredient but it's nice enough as a mask, no irritation, no scent, nourishing and fits me well. -
VT TX Toning Daily Masks (30 sheets), 9/10:
I think I prefer this one over the PDRN just for the actives. But really, it's a mask, and I just enjoy using them as long as they don't break me out. I keep them both in the fridge and it feels great to put them on during these warmer nights. -
Lululun Wipe OFF Toner Pad (50 sheets), 7/10:
Impulse buy! I was testing this out at a nearby drugstore, and It smelled so good and nostalgic I had to get it. It's described as a "marine" scent, and I think that's pretty accurate. But it's not the most luxurious feeling toner pad. It's feels pretty rough, and given that it's meant to exfoliate, I think it can easily be too harsh for some. -
Mediheal Watermide Moisture Pad (100 sheets), 8/10:
Chose this particular one simply for the name and packaging, but ended up liking it a lot! I often use 3 sheets at a time as a mask (because I got it with the refill bundle)and I love the fresh, clean, "water-y" scent. The pads are super thin and silicon-y, which feels great as mask but slippery to wipe across your face. The square shape is a bit to fit on my forehead and I wish I could tear it apart more easily. I have to use scissors. -
Saborino Mega-Shot Night (32 sheets), 2/10:
Broke me out horribly. After having troubled skin for a couple weeks (while using this with several other new products, bad, I know) I wore it one night, wiped the excess on my neck and chest and I woke up to horrible rashes that lasted for a few days. I tried washing the essence off my face when I used it last and it didn't break me out, but it still made me uneasy, so I'm giving this away. -
Skinfood Carrot Carrotene Calming Water Pad (60 sheets), 10/10:
The one that turned me into a believer! Such a simple, pleasant, reliable, and economical toner pad. Refreshing and light, and can be used for a quick cleanse, moisturizing, exfoliation, soothing mask, depuffing. This was great during the colder months, but I think it's a little rich for the summer season. -
VT Azelaic Acid Cica Exosome Toner Pads (60 sheets), N/A:
Haven't cracked into this one yet.
Besides the Lululun and Saborino, I got all of these sheets and pads on sale from 30-50% off, and honestly, I wouldn't get any of them at full price. Anyway, what do you guys have on rotation? 😄
