Packaging or Result: Wday blindly tests tonics

Packaging or Result: Wday blindly tests tonics

We tried nine tonics of different brands, costing from one hundred to four thousand, without seeing the packaging, and shared our impressions.

Before that, almost none of them bought tonics on purpose, sticking to one brand – we asked them to tell how much money they would spend on their favorite options.

They did not see the packaging itself – the tonics were poured into small containers in order to eliminate even a hint of the cost of the product and its brand.

The study will be useful to all those who follow the beauty market and simply like to choose cosmetics based on external factors – for example, without seeing the packaging, price and brand, the girls chose not the most expensive options as their favorites. But when they saw the bottles themselves, their hands reached out to the most beautiful ones!

1. Bella Aurora Bclean Tonic Lightening Anti-Stain, 790 руб.

What they promise: a niche Spanish brand from Cosmotheca offers to lighten age spots and complexion with this product. In addition, the tonic refreshes, tones, softens the skin, brightens the complexion. Cleans and shrinks pores and prepares skin for other skincare treatments.

– It smells very nice of a rose. It does not disappear without a trace, but as if it envelops the skin – while walking with it is comfortable, I think, in winter, when the skin needs protection.

2. Exfoliant tonic that enhances the radiance Payot, 1502 rubles.

What they promise: toner with raspberry extract is suitable for all skin types. Completes the skin cleansing and make-up removal procedure, revitalizing and restoring the radiance of the skin tone. The microrelief becomes more perfect.

– This one smells of berries, like red currants, and a very pleasant pink color. I’m used to the fact that tonics are usually tinted with something green or blue, but pink is something new! It is so cool to wipe the skin after sleep – it will instantly wake up.

3. Nutritional essence Blithe Viral Treatment, 3599 rubles.

What they promise: the formula of the essence is enriched with extracts of legumes of eight varieties. The product provides deep nourishment to mature skin, has a rejuvenating and tonic effect, and reduces visible wrinkles. The essence with an unusually light gel-like consistency does not overload the skin, effectively saturating its cells with useful components and life-giving moisture. Absorbs instantly.

– Pleasant texture and aroma, very pleasant and fresh smells of orange and does not dry the skin. It doesn’t look like a tonic at all, rather like a gel, but the aroma fades away quickly.

4. Cleansing toner for oily and combination skin Natura Siberica, 338 rubles

What they promise: effectively cleanses the skin, eliminates oily sheen, tightens pores. Thanks to the oregano included in the composition, it soothes the skin, relieves redness, normalizes metabolic processes in the cells, and makes the skin matte. Green tea has antioxidant properties, slowing down the aging process, and sage is known for its anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties.

– The fragrance is reminiscent of Cucumber lotion. There seems to be a lot of herbs in the composition, and I don’t feel alcohol at all.

5. Toning face lotion Eveil a la Mer Thalgo, 1619 rubles.

What they promise: active ingredient – sea spring water SÈVE BLEUE, rich in microelements. Prevents skin dehydration, restores its barrier function, saturates it with minerals and life-giving moisture.

– Very pleasant aroma! I think I’ve used it before, but I don’t remember the name. I got one on a beauty distribution at the editorial office. Will you give it back after shooting?

6. Сlarins. Toning lotion with chamomile extract, 1950 rubles

What they promise: This alcohol-free lotion, based on soothing chamomile and linden extracts, gently removes cleanser residues without disturbing the skin’s natural pH. It has a tonic, soothing and refreshing effect, preparing the skin for further stages of care.

– Also not quite my smell – grassy, ​​with chamomile or something. So in childhood, I smelled of a decoction, which was used to gargle in case of illness. I think it will suit lovers of healthy lifestyle and natural cosmetics.

7. Caudalie. Moisturizing toner Cleanser & Toners, 1199 rubles.

What they promise: This toner with a high concentration of Vinolevure grape water is an excellent makeup remover and brings the skin the first dose of hydration it needs.

– It gives the impression of a luxury tonic – a light and unobtrusive aroma, completely non-sticky, and the skin is comfortable with it! Cool – it’s the first one I really wanted to put on my face.

8. Cleansing tonic Tonique Eclat Lancome, 1840 rubles.

What they promise: cleansing toner Tonique Eclat has a delicate exfoliating effect, which allows you to more effectively cleanse the skin not only from impurities, but also from dead cells, freeing the skin surface for its full breathing.

– For dry skin, it is definitely not suitable – it will dry out. As a teenager, I think it’s a great option. Or for those to whom the skin can give a surprise in the form of inflammation.

9. Life-giving tonic Weleda, 600 rubles

What they promise: a cleansing complex based on extracts of mosquito rose and witch hazel in combination with lemon juice refreshes, improves the relief and structure of the skin, and maintains the hydrolipid balance. Due to the high content of tannins, witch hazel has a tonic effect, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and prevents inflammation.

– I have never seen a white tonic – and this one is also “soft” to the skin, it is quickly absorbed. And this one generally wants to drink! Reminds me of a liqueur, it seems to me that it is expensive. Cool consistency – like milk, and it smells like pine needles.

– I liked samples 9 (Weleda), 5 (Thalgo), 4 (Planeta Organica), 7 (Caudalie): they have a pleasant smell without weighing down, they do not pinch the skin and do not dry out. When applied to the face, they are quickly absorbed and prepare the skin for the application of the cream, but honestly, after some of them, the cream is not really needed. For example, 9 (Weleda) and 2 (Payot) – the first is very nutritious, and the second seems to me to be cleansing, after which the skin breathes perfectly.

– I liked 3 (Blithe) and 5 (Thalgo) – because of the neutral aroma and wide range of applications. It seems that these tonics can at least erase mascara from the eyes, they are so delicate. 9 (Weleda) and 8 (Lancome) will not work for my dry skin, and 1 (Bella Aurora) is not in favor due to the fact that I do not like the rose. The first sample seemed the most expensive – both in terms of fragrance and effect, but I wouldn’t be surprised if 8 (Lancome) is also not cheap.
