Laneige Light Power Essential Skin Refiner
Pretty bottle
I’ve been a fan of Laneige products for a long time and snagged the Light line as part of a set a couple summers ago. It’s part of their oily-combination skin line, which is perfect for me during the summer months. This is the Power Essential Skin Refiner (known as Power Essential Skin Toner in North America). The one I’m reviewing is from Asia.
The Packaging
The bottle is made of sturdy plastic, is clear with a bluish tint to it. The cap is the twist kind.
Silver foil covering the opening
Removing the cap, you can see a small silver foil sealing the opening to the bottle. Bonus points to Laneige for sanitary packaging.
Foil removed, small opening
After taking the foil off, it reveals a small opening. I prefer these small openings as it allows me to control the amount of product that comes out instead of accidentally pouring too much out.
The Product
I use this as a toner after cleansing my face. It has a light, pleasant scent to it and isn’t overbearing at all. There is no sensation using it per say (as in there is no cooling or tingling sensation) and I find that it doesn’t irritate my skin. My serums and moisturizers soak in quite well afterwards.
The Verdict
Using this in combination with the Light Balancing Emulsion made for a great combination over the summer. It won’t be enough moisturizing for those with dry skin or for the winter months, but summer use is great.
