Now we already talk about serum, cleanser and all bunch of stuff. Next, we move on to toner. Let’s face it, not everyone use toner. Some say, it has no use and just a waste of money. But for me, I use it for extra cleaning and to ensure that no residue is left over after cleansing.
Here, it goes!!! One of the most famous toner/lotion there is in the market, Sekkisei Lotion.
Ingredient :
Water, Alcohol, Glycerin, Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract, Coix Lacryma, Jobi Seed Extract (Jobs Tears), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract (Witch Hazel), Melothria Heterophylla Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil (Wheat), Citric Acid, Dl-C12-15 Pareth-8 Phosphate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Citrate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Triethylhexanoin, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance
The result from using this lotion is instant. Based on its claim, it has the ability to moisturize and whiten at the same time. So, from my first experience of using it, I do feel and see the effect. You will feel that\ your skin is well hydrated and brighten from your first application. However, the whiten effect is not really that significant.
If you look at its ingredient list, alcohol is no.2, so it may irritate some people. Although, alcohol is known to cause drying, but I do feel that the lotion is hydrated enough.
The brightening effect comes from glycyrrhizate (licorice extract). Third ingredient is known for having an anti-inflammatory effect.

Apart from that, this lotion can also be made into a mask. My friend really like to make it into a mask, but I personally would prefer it to be a lotion. Because, the smell of alcohol is too strong, and the first time I did this, it almost made me want to puke. However, if you could tolerate with the smell, just go on with it. So, overall, this toner is really recommended for people with oily/normal, resistance, pigmented and wrinkle/tight skin type.
Pros : It practically has all the benefit such as brighten, hydrate and a little effct of whitening except for anti-aging
Cons : May cause dryness to some people as it has high concentration of alcohol.
Price : RM 248 for 360ml in West Malaysia(WM) and RM255 for East Malaysia(EM), RM 148 for 200ml (WM) and RM 151 (EM)
