The Face Shop Clean Face Series: Mild Toner and Mild Lotion
Item was priced at Php645 each during time of purchase
Available at all The Face Shop stores
Product claims: “Clean Face series — Anti bacteria, soothing for breakouts and sebum controlling.”

I got a free trial kit of Clean Face Mild Toner and Mild Lotion when I bought nose strips from The Face Shop last July. It was a blessing in disguise, since I’m searching for new skincare products to try (that time I was eyeing Tony Moly Dr. Tony AC Control line). Perfect timing cos I need to tame those pesky lil zits popping out when I sleep late! Lol. So yeah, it was love at first use! It has everything I look for in a toner and moisturizer that I want to commit in a full-size product asap!

- THE FREAKING BOTTLE!!! I mean, trying to get the lotion out of its unsqueezeable glass bottle with a small nozzle is one of the most frustrating things you can do — imagine doing that in the morning and at night? Seriously, it’s like shaking out ketchup in a ketchup bottle. HAAAATE!
