[REVIEW]
KEEP COOL Soothe Bamboo Toner | A refreshing surprise
Last December 2018, I won a
giveaway by KEEP COOL where they gave away the mini version of their KEEP COOL Soothe
Bamboo Toner,
which they recently launched around that time. They sent me 3 pieces of the
mini toner along with their KEEP COOL Ocean Mask. They currently have three
lines: Ocean, Soothe and Shine.
Let me share my thoughts
regarding this cute little toner.
What
it is
A pH 5.5 toner consisting of 85%
bamboo water which aims to help the skin retain moisture and freshness. Bamboo
water is rich in amino acids and minerals packed with antioxidants.
How to use it
The toner can be used in four
different ways:
1. The N-Skin Method
Layering the toner up to N
number of times. The most popular one is the 7-skin method.
2. Final Cleansing Step
After removing makeup and
cleansing the face, soak a cotton pad with the toner and gently swipe your
face with the pad to remove dirt residue.
3. Toner Mist
Place the toner in a spray bottle
so you can use it to refresh your face with a mist throughout the day.
4. Toner Mask
Soak a cotton pad and let it sit on
your face for a few minutes to soothe your skin.
Observations
The toner is unscented and
watery, similar in texture to the Klairs unscented toner, which I also love.
But it’s less viscous than the Isntree toner, which I’ve also tried and loved.

Experience
This toner takes a few seconds to be fully absorbed but once it
is, there’s no greasy or tacky feeling. It also didn’t
irritate my skin or cause any breakouts.

It gave me that cooling and
refreshing feeling, which I really loved in this toner. It’s perfect for our
tropical climate especially for those searing hot and humid days, which are
already approaching soon.
I need only 2-3 layers to get
that well-hydrated skin after. Now, this is not the most hydrating toner I’ve
tried but it definitely became one of my favorite toners because of that
unique, subtle cooling effect it gives to my skin. This is perfect for daytime
use especially when I just want something light and cool on my skin. I don’t
have enough amount to use this as a mist but I’m sure it will be perfect to
refresh the skin throughout the day.
I wasn’t able to try the toner
masking method because of the small size (and I’m too lazy!) and I want these
little ones to last as much as possible because I don’t want to run out of this
toner so fast!
One 20ml toner lasted me around 2 weeks, even when
using it twice a day. Just imagine how long the giant 350ml bottle will last.
I’d say I’ll totally get my money’s worth if ever I’ll have it.
Effectivity
I have dehydrated skin and it
easily relieved the skin-tightening feeling I usually get on my forehead after
cleansing.
Moisture levels L to R: 1) After cleansing 2) After 1
layer 3) After 4 layers
You can see in the skin analyzer
below how dehydrated my skin is after cleansing. I wasn’t able to slather the
toner immediately because I had to take this photo first. Then after the first
layer, the moisture level went up and oil level went down. The moisture level
further went up after the 4th layer and oil level went down to 16%.
Packaging
I love clear bottles and I’m glad
that this toner came in a clear one. The bottle has a hole dispenser which
helps control the amount needed to be used.
