OxygenCeuticals Toning Gel – Premium Hydrating Gel Toner with Centella & Licorice Root Extracts, Adenosine Anti-Wrinkle, Soothing Care for Dry & Sensitive Post-Treatment Skin. 6.67 fl.oz (200ml)

My esthetician recommended this toner to me for my acne prone skin! She uses a lot of OxygenCeuticals products for my facials, and after a peel, this toner does wonders for calming my skin. I love the gel consistency and how nicely it spreads across the face (so you don't need too much product!) and it gets absorbed quickly. It doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky at all, and it doesn't pill either. I used to use witch hazel as my toner, but it felt like it was stripping my skin too much, and this toner makes my skin feel plump and healthy after each use. Though this toner is pricey, I definitely see why my esthetician recommended it! Side note: I also got some samples of other OxygenCeuticals products with my purchase, so that was a nice surprise :)

I see some difference but not worth the price.

Excellent! I got the Korean silky glass finished look on my skin as well as with my clients. I would highly recommend this product to my fellow estheticians.

If you're looking for a toning gel that leaves your skin smooth and soft without any outbreaks, try this! Refreshing feel and smell. Not heavy on the skin. I'd say it's perfect!

Very gentle and moisturizing toner. Highly recommended for sensitive skin users

This has more of a serum consistency to me as it’s not liquidy like water, which is what I’m accustomed to using as the first step in my skincare routine after washing my face (watery essence/toner followed by more viscous products like serums, lotion, or moisturizer, etc.). I appreciate that some samples of their other products are included (7 samples total) with this bottle of toning gel - a common practice when buying AB or K-beauty products online. I have been using my usual essence first (Missha Artemisia treatment essence) and then I apply three small blobs of this gel on my face and pat it in while my face is still damp from the essence. The gel sinks in nicely and doesn’t feel tacky or sticky although I usually mist my face with a hydrating facial mist before it dries completely and then I slap on some moisturizer while my skin is freshly moistened. It leaves my skin feeling more hydrated and supple when I wake up in the morning compared to before. I am very grateful it hasn’t caused any breakouts or skin issues since I didn’t patch test first (which you really should…). I would still recommend patch testing if you are prone to breakouts. or have super sensitive or reactive skin since you never know (YMMV!) I love so many of the ingredients, primarily the Centella Asiatica extract (3rd in the ingredients, meaning high concentration), aloe (7th ingredient), Allantoin (12th), Sodium PCA (NMF - natural moisturizing factor), Licorice root extract, etc. It does have fragrance listed but it’s the last ingredient so it’s a amount in the overall formulation of this product. Of note, this has Triethanolamine as the 6th ingredient. Some people have concerns about this ingredient so I thought I’d make a point to mention it as it’s listed high up in the ingredients list. Ideally, it should be used in concentrations under 5%. It is used in beauty products as an emulsifier, stabilizer and to balance pH.

I have to admit, I found this really weird at first. Although it is a gel, you use it just as you would any regular toner. You do not need to use much and I used my fingers to pat it in. The gel is quickly absorbed turning into ‘water’. I then used cotton pads to soak up the excess liquid. For a short while, my face felt incredibly sticky. Afterwards though my skin felt softer, brighter and the red areas were less noticeable. I did not notice any scent, however, I have a bit of a cold. Although my skin is sensitive, I had zero reactions to the toner. Besides the toner, they included various samples of other products. A terrific way to find out if other products appeal to you. The gel toner is expensive, but it is a large tube that will last a long time.

I have never used a toner in gel form, so this was a first for me. I'm used to watery toners. This toner feels so cool against the skin and is easily absorbed. The product has lots of great ingredients and I was happy I didn't break out as I have sensitive skin. I've been using it for two weeks now and I love how it leaves my face feeling. Product also came with 7 samples of their other product which I thought was a very nice surprise.

I was a bit of skeptical of this Anti-aging Centella Gel Toner. I was afraid that the gel would be very sticky. Actually, it is not sticky at all. The gel like texture turns into watery texture when you apply it to skin. The light weighted toner is nice and refreshing. Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards. I don't now about the anti-aging claim but this is indeed very nice facial toner and I'll keep using it. It is a bit pricy but 200ml bottle can definitely last me a good while.
