Althea Bare Essentials Primer Water comes in fancy frosted looking plastic bottle. I do like the minimalistic simple white box and bottle. You can squeeze the bottle to make the product comes out easier. The opening is also just suitable to dispense the toner. The cap is the aluminium screw type which is great because it won't comes loose during travelling with your toner.
Althea Bare Essentials Primer Water has water as the first ingredients, there are solvents, emulsifier, plant extract and fragrance. There isn't any coloring. Do check out if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Chia seed, centella asiatica, sugar, sage, German chamomile, rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme and agar. These plants ingredients are chosen for the calming, anti inflammatory and hydrating abilities.
Prebiotic sugars as in Fructooligosaccharides to heal and soothe skin conditions.
The scent is powdery floral scent. The scent does become faint after 30minutes but it is still there (2 hours and above) but if one apply it a few layers the scent can be strong. I am used to unscented and Korean medicinal scent so I am not really liking floral scent. I do know that there are people who loves strong floral scent in their skincare though.
The texture comes out as viscous watery liquid. It does absorbs fast into the skin and makes the skin hydrated as well as soft without the sticky feeling.
It is a hydrating toner with pH5-6 of so it is not a exfoliating toner. One can also use it with compressed mask if you like hydrating milky mask. It is also hydrating enough for the 7skin methods.
After using it for 3 weeks, I think it is a nice hydrating primer toner which is great especially for skin that tend to flakes during makeup. It doesn't irritate the existing acne but it does not clear it up so I guess it is okay.
Overall,
Althea Bare Essentials Primer Water is nice hydrating toner for makeup, dry to normal skin type, doesn't have problem with the ingredients. It is not a toner for treating acne.
