Magic number pH 5.5
First, let's look into the science behind this toner. In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. A pH 5.5 = normal and healthy skin. While dry skin will have a lower pH closer to pH 4.0, and oily skin will have a higher pH closer to pH 7.0.
Verdict
The Soon Jung toner is another great addition to my growing collection of hydrating toners. If you are a believer of the 7 skin method just like I am, then I suggest incorporating this product in your routine. It works wonders on irritated skin. I prefer having gentle toners that help soothe and relieve skin from external irritants. However, I still use chemical exfoliants with higher strength, and I only apply them two to three times weekly, apart from my toning regimen.
Fact: This toner contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract or what we call green tea! We all know how green tea has amazing benefits when ingested or used topically. There's a lot of study and research backing the wonders of green tea. Also, I make it a point to drink green tea at least every other day. 😁
"Green tea is proven to be a great antioxidant, UV protectant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial Because of these awesome properties green tea is a great choice for anti-aging and also for skin diseases including rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis."
For those conscious about ingredients, I'm happy to report that this product is alcohol-free and fragrance free! I know a lot of skincare enthusiasts are very particular about these two ingredients, because of how irritating they can be. Although personally, having both don't stop me from using a product. I'm more concerned about results and benefits of a product.
