REVIEW - MUJI Light Toning Water Moisture

 

REVIEW - MUJI LIGHT TONIGHT WATER MOISTURE 

As a person with (currently) sensitive skin, I was excited to try out MUJI's new sensitive care series. Promising lightweight texture that is fragrance free, paraben free, alcohol free etc. made with water from the Iwate prefecture in Japan, I had been meaning to try this out when I tried a tester in store a month ago. I was looking for a toner that I could blatantly splash on my face right after cleanser without harsh chemicals and gentle enough to use several layers. I even bought a spray nozzle accessory they sold in store right next to the toners (very smart) to try out. It seemed like my prayers had been answered.

Appearance and consistency:

I bought a 200ML bottle, it also comes in smaller travel-sized bottles. The liquid is clear and quite runny, it feels just like, well, water. Which I love! 

My experience:

I splashed about a 20c worth of liquid on my palm and patted the toner on my face using both hands. After one application, I found that this toner provided a good level of moisturization that is also buildable. In my current skincare routine, I am using a heavy moisturizer - actually its a skin barrier repair cream - so I am trying to avoid over-moisturizing my skin which can lead to skin sensitivity and a weakened skin barrier! This toner is a simple, no frills-added toner that provides a good level of moisturization that can be built up. I also enjoy using this with the spray bottle, it's so refreshing to spritz on and use as part of my daily routine and throughout the day!
