What's up grils! I wanted to share a roundup of all the skincare I’ve been using the past couple of months. I picked these up at the end of March so it’s been just over two months of consistent testing. Since I love writing quick reviews, I'm gonna show one item every day. 

For someone who missed out my day 1, check it out!

About Me

Skin type : Combo leaning dry

Skin concerns : Sensitivity, acne-prone, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and large pores

Climate : Mildly humid spring weather, nothing too extreme

Quick note : All of these products are fragrance and essential oil free. If I mention a scent, I’m referring to the natural scent that sometimes comes with unscented formulas.

So, Today I'm gonna talk about MEDIHEAL Baobab Soothing Moisture Toner.

Rating: 5/5 MRP

So, funny story, after posting "Am I the only one who kind of hates toner?”, I had a bit of a revelation. Turns out, it wasn’t that I hated toner… I just hadn’t found the right one yet. Shoutout to everyone who dropped recs in the comments because that’s how I ended up trying this gem. And wow. I did not realize what I was missing.

This toner? So good. Like, skin-drinking-it-up, barrier-hugging, “why do I suddenly look so well-rested?” kind of good. It’s super watery but spreads like a dream, almost essence-like. I think it’s got some kind of nourishing oils in there because it leaves my skin feeling soothed, hydrated, and just… taken care of, you know?

I went a little overboard at first, cotton pads, multiple layers, morning and night. Then I noticed I was burning through it fast and realized, uh… it’s $25 USD. For a toner. And while I do love this stuff, I don’t love it that much.

Now I just use it with my hands and only when my skin is begging for a little extra TLC. It’s a treat-yourself kind of product, not an everyday workhorse at least not for my budget. I might repurchase if I spot it on sale, but in the meantime, I’ve found a few more affordable toners I feel less guilty slathering on.

Still, this one opened my eyes. Toners can actually do something and when they do it right, it’s magic.
