Dear Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner Review

Dear Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner

Bought for: P750/180ml

Bought from: an online shop

I am so sure that if you haven't tried this yet, it's already in your wishlist. This product from Dear Klairs has been so popular that almost every beauty enthusiast I know have already rounded up what's so great about this. Using this for over a month now (I even started from samples), I am still undecided whether or not this deserves all the praise. I hate to debunk the never-ending hype but let's settle down and I'll tell you all the things I know and experiences I had with this product. Help me weigh down the pros and cons! Let's start, shall we?

CLAIMS

Balances the skin’s pH level and improves the effectiveness of your entire skincare regime, helping you to achieve your best skin. Enhance the effectiveness of serums and creams with the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner that balances your skin’s natural pH levels, creating the perfect canvas for your skin care products.

Contains some key ingredients such as Phyto-Oligo to help thoroughly moisturize the skin and resolve skin dryness, and wheat amino acids to help reduce inflammation in the skin.

With various plant extracts and soothing ingredients blended together, a calming, non-irritating, hydrating toner for all skin types even for the most sensitive.

Quickly absorbs and provides full moisture.The skin glows brighter with high moisture retention. The moisturizing toner rapidly absorbs into the skin while prolonging hydration by more than 20% than conventional toners with hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan.

PACKAGING

It comes in dark-colored sturdy plastic bottle and a box that has loads of information about the product, sometimes, it's kinda overwhelming. :D It comes with a twist cap and  it's just very hygienic to use. The full-sized is kinda bulky but I can easily decant a few ml on an empty plastic bottle if I need to bring some for getaways. You can also buy the 30 ml travel size on some K-beauty shops but if you are doubting the authenticity or freshness, you can order through Althea Korea instead. Their items sell out fast so they restock every now and then.

Expiry and manufacturing dates are printed both on the box and on the bottom part of the bottle. The sticker that contains all information about the product is waterproof and does not easily tear or wear off.

SCENT, TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

It has a very faint scent, nothing too strong. I even examined the ingredient list and there isn't fragrance to it. Any scent probably comes from the natural ingredients it's made of.

This toner is clear in color, has a runny consistency and a bit of a slimy texture that fades away once the product gets fully absorbed by the skin. I bet that's what makes it very hydrating. It felt honestly a bit sticky at first and then eventually fades, leaving a soft and supple glow on the skin. If I am going to think about it, the texture actually helps in making everything I put on gets absorbed easily because of its adhering property. It also doesn't mess with everything I put on afterwards, even base makeups.

Because I have oily skin, I sometimes neglect heavy moisturizers and just settle with this toner. I would still feel that my skin is still hydrated all throughout the day.

PERFORMANCE

I already tried this toner for a week when I was breaking out and I badly need something gentle for my skin. Back then, using it alone with a couple other gentle products, although as soothing as it is, it still won't help alleviate the damage. I was still breaking out and tiny white bumps started to appear. I immediately stopped and hesitated to give it another try even when my skin heals.

I hate to think I am wasting P750 so I decided to give this one another try when my skin cleared up which was just last month (July). Just like the first time, I don't think it does anything special other than the fact that its truly hydrating on the skin. With regular use, I feel like my skin became softer  and plumper and this product just goes well with the exfoliant products I am using it in conjunction with.

I guess what's really holding me back in saying this product is great is the fact that it does nothing special other than being hydrating. But now that I think about it, not every toner goes well with acids. I needed something that would calm and balance my skin and at the same time aid in better absorption of whatever I put on next. I am into acids right now because I wanted to get rid of my breakouts and scars from previous chicken pox infection and I don't think I'll ever want to use a toner that is as strong. I realize that I needed a 'break' in between products too.

It seems clear to me now that Dear Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner should be a staple in my skin care. Given that it's very gentle on the skin, it really is suitable for all skin type. Those with dry skin might want to apply a bit more. Those who have oily skin like mine need not to worry.

I also think that this is a good value for money because you are paying for a product with 180ml of liquid that will last you about 2-3 months. Definitely perfect for those who are looking for a very basic toner that's hydrating!

Avoid Cakey Makeup With Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish
Bought for: P750 | SRP: USD $23 (Around P1200)
Bought from: an online shop

I've had this obsession with scrubs ever since and shouldn't it advertised to be used only at least once or a couple of times every week, I could have given in to the pleasure of scrubbing away dead skin cells on a daily basis. The beads feels so refreshing and smoothing that I can't help noticing how skin's overall texture improves every after use. And with that saying, I have here a tub of goodness which I'm going to talk about today, Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish.

This is the very first product I have tried from Klairs and it made me look forward to trying out more of their products. This didn't exactly give me that perfectly polished skin as assumed because of the name, but I just love how my skin feels super soft, hydrated and clear every time I use this. It makes everything I put on gets absorb easily.

We know for a fact that this sugar polish used to come in a tub with only 60g of product inside and was renewed early 2017. You don't have to use a lot every application but for a product with quite an expensive price tag for budget beauties, it would be nicer to pay for a bit of quantity too. It seems like Klairs heard us after all!

The texture and quality of the scrub made me reminiscent about my D-I-Y sugar scrub--I might do a step-by-step procedure with it and share that with you. I remember using black sugar mixed with some oils and honey for my scrub and it doubles its function as a mask too. The resulting product is quite creamy and the hydration properties of natural oils and fresh honey is really powerful. However, I don't have the whole time in the world, so convenience means a lot. Good thing, I've got this Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish for that fuss-free exfoliation whenever I need it.

Claims

The Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish contains an abundance of black sugar which aids in the removal of dead skin cells and blackheads. It exfoliates dry skin with ease and adds a glossy smooth look to the skin. When seasons change, the skin tends to become a uneven with dry patches that cause makeup to apply unevenly and look “cakey”. Using the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish once a week gives you smooth soft skin perfect for makeup application. 

See even better results by using the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish with the Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil. 

Klairs keeps your skin soft and supple by providing effective exfoliation with deep moisturizing. Its anti-bacterial and anti-aging properties help treat dry, flaky skin.

Packaging 

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish comes in a dark-colored plastic tub with a twist cap, an inner seal and a plastic spatula for hygienic purposes. I love it for it looks very high-end too. The tub and the accompanying box displays all necessary information such as directions, claims and benefits, ingredients and expiry dates. For an eco and vegan-friendly, natural product, it has an amazing shelf life of 3 years.

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The product is dark brown in color--something you expect with sugar scrubs. It has an abundance of black sugar with a combination of emollients that doesn't feel harsh at all and melt on the skin a few seconds after application. The thing with scrubs containing synthetic beads is that they don't melt so we sometimes tend to over-scrub and we know that it's pretty dangerous for the skin as it can cause further damage. Well, too much of something for any aspect isn't good, right?

I love everything about this product's texture--it melts like soft butter on the skin and the melted product seem to double like mask. I usually don't rinse the product yet because I find that the oils it contains hydrate my skin and make it super silky, soft and smooth.

The product has a wee bit of a cooling scent. The scent is not something I really love but it's subtle enough that I don't think those who are sensitive  to scents will find it off-putting in any way.

Performance

I really love this product as it lives up to its promises. The buttery texture removes tough makeups further and all other imperfections such as flaky skin and roughness. After use, your skin really looks clearer and smoother--you  have to fight the urge to touch your skin frequently. It doesn't remove existing blackheads but it helps smoothen out their appearance and prevent further damages on the skin. It is very clear that this product removes dead skin cells effectively as my skin seem to drank straight whatever I put on it.

This product is very mild and non-abrasive so it suits every skin type whether you have dry, combination, oily or sensitive skin. It might be a high maintenance product for me but I don't mind splurging a bit as it made it to my holy grail scrubs!
