WHICH HYDRATING TONER OR ESSENCE ARE YOU USING?

Dazlin — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 22:23:33 GMT

I have Dickinson with E, no alcohol. Also Heritage Rose and glycerin spritz. Are these considered hydrators??

I usually use Shiseido enriched softener, but im out of it, and figured I look around. I could use hydration and a pore minimizer too. My skin is normal.

Anyone use Glow Recipe, what's your thoughts...is it sticky,(some reviews said sticky) ??

Others that I'm looking at...Fenty fat water, Hyaluronic essence, and saw a toner from Cerave...please share your thoughts.

When I need it I use this multi-purpose spray. A toner, setting spray and hydrator in one. It has fragrance just so you know.

Currently I'm using SKINN Pitahaya Essence. I've liked it ok but I'm almost done with it and will move on to Beekman 1802 Milk Shake HA and Squalene facial mist. It says on the Beekman bottle that it minimizes pores and hydrates. Trying it on the recommendation of posters here. Then after that I'll start using up my Mario Badescu stash of facial mists. LOL as you can see I have a quite a few to go through.

@SilleeMee

Do you think the Dickenson's Mist would be too drying for someone with combination and sensitive skin?

Thanks!

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (Japanese). Costco is cheaper but it's a Costco member item only. I wait until it's on sale. I've tried other toners/essences but I always go back to the SK-II.

@Swedishmiss

It's not drying. Contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E plus rosewater. It's a super light mist so you can't put too much on at once. Description says it's "gentle".

I have been using Tatcha Essence for I don't know how long. I always repurchase. It has plumpling properties that I can really see! I stopped using it for whatever reason. Maybe to cut down on the routine. When I used it again, I couldn't believe how much better my skin looked. I thought-- why did I stop using this? It's pricey at around $100, but QVC usually has it in a set or the website has a deal.

@justashopper

I don't remember the sale price of the Tatcha Essence but it's currently on sale at Costco dot com thru Feb 8th. There's a buy more and save on many Beauty products, (frequently discussed here) buy three save $30, buy 4 save $50. Mix n match. Free shipping.

Hi @rochelleS

Thanks! I agree-- deals can be had!

Did you see that at your local costco or on line? When I responded to the OP, I googled it for the price and was surprised to see it's also at Sam's club for around $80. I have never seen it at either Costco or Sam's. I shop at both.

I just began using CAUDALIE BEAUTY ELIXIR...purchased the smallest size 1 fl.oz.

I use it after my skincare and before foundation for a bit of moisture and hydration... again after makeup in that zone to remove any powdery look.

I've given up on my MAC Prep and Prime setting spray becauseit felt sticky. I'm trying MORPHE. I do think hydrating spray and essences can take the place of setting spray. I'm only in full makeup (foundation, etc.) 4 days a week and then only no more than about 6 hrs.

@justashopper

Hi, I saw the Tatcha offer and many, many other top tiered beauty products on Costco dot com.

I used to see more items in store years ago and noticed some stores had more selections of these fine department store Beauty products. That was based on the location of the Costco store. Now you see the items, including skin, hair and facial devices and more offered on Costco's web site. Many of which are offered on the Q, but at substantial savings by comparison. Not saying better deals can be occasionally found too but the prices can be pretty great. Especially if familiar with the products price points.

@Shanus , I'm really not looking for a setting spray. I like a a hydrating softener or toner to pat into my skin before moisturizers and make up.

@monicakm , I've looked at many reviews and I think I'd like to try the Glow Recipe. Where do you buy it...Sephora?

Lots places have it...all around $34 full size. There's a mini too, $15...I dont think I'd buy that size...and then there's Shipping.

One thing I can say about the Shiseido enriched softener, (not the plain one) although that's good too, but not as emollient as enriched, is it really softens and feel moist on my skin...plumps out any little dry lines. Never sticky or filmy. Sometimes I find it TJMAXX...for a third the price...or ill watch for deal ,or kit, , sometimes macys has sales. It's something I'll always keep around. I'm in love with the fresh gentle scent...I think a salesperson once told me it's the Camelia flower...not sure...but I love it.

Ordered the Glow Recipe a couple days ago...should be here today 🙂

@monicakm , it just came...ill start it tonight. I see it says alot about pores...that would be great if it minimizes my pores too.

Report back on the cream please...thx

Re: WHICH HYDRATING TONER OR ESSENCE ARE YOU USING?

TerryNJ — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 22:26:30 GMT

I currently am not using one, but these suggestions sound good. Also, might look into the new one from IT and the one from Bare Minerals.

Re: WHICH HYDRATING TONER OR ESSENCE ARE YOU USING?

@monicakm , so I used it last night, this morning, and again tonight...it doesn't exactly feel sticky, but I can feel it on my skin. Just feels like a moisturizer, but very light. I don't mind it all, and I'm used to layering several products, so feeling something on my skin doesn't bother me. The main thing is I was able to apply all my skincare and foundation with no problem. It definitely makes my skin moist, so im super happy about that. Now I'll wait and see what else it does. Many reviews about reduced pores, I'd love that. I like smell, but it's more like cucumber, rather than watermelon, which I'd prefer.

Another one I'm looking at it the C dark spot serum...looks sooooo good...but I can't see $45 for 1 ounce 😑. I'll keep my eye out for a sale. Please let me know any specials coming up.

Let me know when you order the Plum Plump too.

I feel like I'm getting obsessed with this line...thanks to you...😆
