Review of Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner
By Nadine D
Packaging The 10ml Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner comes in a glass bottle with a plastic screw top lid. The cardboard box packaging is bright pink with purple, gold and white lettering. The ingredients are listed along with product details in English and French. It stated that detailed directions for use could be found on the in-pack leaflet, but I was disappointed to find that the only leaflet enclosed was one detailing the product range.
Application I applied the toner after cleansing using few drops on a cotton pad. I could immediately feel the astringent properties of the toner and felt that it was really removing impurities on my skin. It did not sting or irritate my skin and my skin felt a little softer after using it for a week. I did not suffer form any blocked pores whilst using this product. The gentle rose fragrance was very pleasant and not too strong.
Ingredients I was very pleased that this product is low in alcohol as I find some toners far too drying for my skin. It is free from synthetic fragrances, colours, preservatives and raw materials derived from mineral oils. The ingredients are listed fully and the description of the product is in English and French. Its astringent properties are lent from witch hazel and the extract of the green leaves of Wild Rose, and the ingredients combine to support the natural pH balance of the skin. The product I used had a three-month shelf life, and this is more than enough if you use the product regularly.
Results After using the Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner for three weeks, my skin does feel a little softer and I have not had any problems with blocked pores. My T-zone that is usually slightly oily was definitely less shiny.
Pros: You can feel the astringent properties working straight away.
- My T-zone was definitely less shiny.
- It kept blocked pores at bay.
- It has a very pleasant fragrance.
Cons: I used this product twice per day, but think that once every day or every other day would suffice.
· It can be quite drying if used often on dryer skin types.
· It can be quite hard to control the amount dispensed from the bottle.
