Review: Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner

Hello! ~♥ This is a review of the Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner. I already reviewed the Skinfood Fresh Apple Mild Pore Peeling Gel from the same line a long time ago and loved it, so I wanted to try out more products from this line ever since. I have no idea why it took me almost 2 years to finally do so. The Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner comes in a long 160ml glass bottle with green apples on it. It's nothing fancy, but still pretty. The bottle looks identical than the one of the serum from the same line, so don't confuse these two if you want to purchase this product.

While a glass bottle makes the product appear way less "cheap" than a plastic bottle, I am not too fond of it. The bottle is really heavy and it is very hard to get product out of it in the beginning. I experienced the same with previous Skinfood toners that come in bottles: At the beginning you only get single drops out of it and it takes forever to get enough product for one cotton pad out of the bottle. Only once you have used up about 1/3 of the bottle's content, the toner starts coming out in a normal way.
The Skinfood Fresh Apple Mild Pore Toner is a "carbonated toner with fresh unripe green apple extract that cleanses soap residue and skin impurities while tightening pores."
If you open the label at the bottom of the bottle you get a short English explanation of the toner's main ingredients: "Unripe green apples have a bitter, astringent flour. This green apple extract helps control sebum production and tightens enlarged pores. Cho Jung sparkling water refreshes and tones skin naturally." Unfortunately there is no complete English ingredient list to be found on the product.The Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner is color-less and has an apple scent to it, though it is way less noticeable than with the peeling gel. I suppose there is alcohol in it, which makes every scent less pleasant.The toner works alright for me, though it isn't anything extraordinary. Maybe I was having too high expectations after the peeling gel, but this one doesn't improve my skin condition noticeable regarding all my impurities. However, it does not dry out my skin and seems to help with sebum control indeed, as my skin appears slightly less greasy while I used this product. My pores also seem alright, though they were never overly huge to begin with. A decent product, but no miracle, so I don't think I would re-purchase this. I have heard that this one works better if you combine it with other products from the same line though. Nice scent
