So I don't need to use toner? Most of my friends and online articles recommend using it after toner as "vitamin" and "serum".
A toner is recommended but what i mean to say is that the SKII Men Facial Treat Essence you're
using is actually a toner so you dont need another one on top. The reason they probably recommend you using FTE on top of a toner is because FTE only has one main ingredient and that is Pitera, so you need to add other things on top--> you can either switch Toner- you can try Clinique Even Better Essence Lotion. It has these ingredients:
Cucumber Fruit Extract, Wheat Germ Extract, Watermelon Extract, Green Tea, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate (similar to Pitera), Barley Extract, Algie, Sodium Hyaluronate etc.
Or else just use a good serum after the toner.
How about Lab Series Oil Control Daily Hydrator? This was the one recommended by the salesperson while I was at the Lab Series shop.
I personally wouldnt use the Oil Control Daily Hydrator- it contains peppermint. On our website-
tonicgrooming.com/blog - I wrote about menthol being an ingredient to avoid as it causes a high TEWL (transepidermal water loss) in other words dehydration which will only irritate your skin and probably cause it to generate more oil.
Besides Lab Series, any other brand to recommend? The one thing that puts me off from Lab Series is its 50ml packaging. I'd prefer something that's at least 100ml. Very ex and ley chey to buy 50ml non stop.
If you want 100ml why not try Clinique for Men Mattifying Moisturizer
This clay mask is good so I'll stay with it. Is it necessary to follow up with a mositurising mask after a clay mask?
No, as long as you dont wait until the clay mask dries on your face and cakes off.
Got it. Will try this!
Mid 20s here. Will this be needed? Ppl keep telling me if use SK II FTE, don't need serum le.
TBH, people will tell you that the earlier you start the better but men have more lactic acid than women, thicker skin and denser collagen...so you don't really need to worry about it until say after 30.
Actually I tried your website already. For moisturiser, it recommended Lab Series Max LS. However, the salesperson at Lab Series recommended otherwise...
Just a feedback, if you have the manpower, try to have a "chat" feature at your website where potential customers can talk to you. Like right now, I think you're providing great help here
On another note, do you guys sell the individual product on your website directly? Can't seem to find it.
Thanks very much for trying the website and the feedback, we will definitely add online help when we expand.
We don't sell individual products as we are a platform and avoid being an online store. However, you can take away products that you want and choose items that you do.
From my experience atleast but alot of the counter sales don't really understand the ingredients in depth and tend to tell you what the product company wants them to say. Next time you go and talk to one, flip the box to where the ingredients are and ask them to explain them to you:
This is for the hydrator-
