Review:
I love the idea for the box dispenser with the 2 types of cotton pads and do feel cleaner when using the dual step application method. However, on lazy nights I will stick to my 1 step cleansing with my regular cotton wool. Nevertheless, I love the texture of the cotton wools and will use them for their different purpose.

As I am also a wishtrend affiliate, I am no stranger to the brand Klairs. So far, I'm loving the blue line (which I used to sooth my eczema outbreaks as well as the Freshly Juiced line which I used for sun protection.

Review:
The product comes in the same type of holographic box as the rest of the products belong to the freshly juiced line. What puzzled me is that they packaged the product in a plastic bottle with a dropper, instead of a glass bottle. I would prefer it to be packaged in a glass bottle.
When dispensed with the dropper, the product flows out easily. For those using the product for the first time, it is recommended that you patch test the product with a small drop on your hand before applying it fully on to your face.
I do like the feel of the vitamin drop when I applied it on my skin as my thirsty skin absorbs it very quickly. I mixed the vitamin drop into my regular moisturizer and applied them together. The duration of test is however, too short to determine any changes to my skin yet. However, I will continue to use it and add it to my skincare regime as I do favor the idea of having Vitamin C for my thirsty skin.
2) Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner in travel size (Supple Preparation Line) (30ml) $29/180ml
The Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner helps to balance your skin's pH level and improves the effectiveness of your skincare products by enhancing the absorption of your serums and creams. It acts as a clean canvas for your skincare.

It also has wheat amino acids to help reduce inflammation in the skin. The blend of various plant based extracts gives you a calming, non-irritating and hydrating toner suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
This toner enables you to have full moisture retention and gives you a brightened and glowing skin while retaining your skin's hydration level by more than 20% compared to conventional toners with hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan.
The full size bottle of this product is 180ml and the product is suitable for all skin types.
Water, Butylene Glycol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Betaine, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Natto Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Polyquaternium-51, Chlorphenesin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer, Panthenol, Arginine, Luffa Cylindrica Fruit/Leaf/Stem Extract, Beta-Glucan, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Lysine HCL, Proline, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Acetyl Methionine, Theanine, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Copper Tripeptide-1
Usage Directions:
After cleansing your face, apply the toner to clean skin. Pat with palms for complete absorption.
Tips/Suggestion:
Multiple application is recommended for dry areas. Try this toner with Klairs Toner Mate 2-in-1 Cotton Pads. It is specifically created to maximize the toner’s effect by providing you with two types of surface - compressed and sponge.
Review:
While the bottle says apply and pat this toner into your skin directly they came out with a dual use cotton pad to use this product. I find this a little conflicting. The texture of the toner is also thicker than normal toners (more like a serum to me, than a toner).
Sad to say, this product does not really work for me. I would prefer other toners with a lighter texture given a choice. It feels too much like a serum and too heavy for my skin. Perhaps I'll use it on days when my skin gets really dry.
3) Toner Mate 2-in-1 Cotton Pad 120pcs/box - $16
The Toner Mate 2-in-1 Cotton pad is designed specifically to help maximize the effects of the Klairs toner within one conveniently packaged box which also acts as a cotton pad dispenser. It contains
60 compressed and 60 sponge pads. Two types of facial cotton pads to maximize the effects of the Klairs toner, in one box.
The Compressed cotton pad : 100% cotton for soft, smooth skin. A certified 100% pure cotton pad designed for the Klairs toner, compressed 5 times with the waterjet process. Wipe away irritants and gently exfoliate for soft, smooth skin. Use before other skin care products to help aid absorption. Increase hydration, decrease product waste.
The Sponge pad : Increase hydration, decrease the amount of product used. Air laid pulp fabric designed to act like a sponge. Doesn’t absorb the product fully, but soaks up the toner to effectively deliver the full hydration to the skin. Rather than wiping, use a patting motion to calm and cool irritated skin.
Compressed Cotton Pad: 100% cotton
Sponge Cotton Pad: Pulp/Rayon Blend
Store product away from direct sunlight or store it in the fridge.
