Are you thinking what the heck is softener! xP Its just a fancy name for new generation toners. :angel I always diligently use toners as I have oily acne prone skin and few pores around my nose. I have used many toners from different brands but hands down Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Refining Softener is the best. They have two versions Light for oily skin and Enriched for dry skin. Isn't that great having a toner specifically for your skin type. :L

My Take on Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Refining Softener
I hauled last month like crazy from Shiseido and got many samples of the softener and emulsion. I take a small amount of softener and apply it after cleansing. Its kinda watery liquid which easily gets absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue. I use this in conjunction with the moisturizer from the same range ( review coming soon :D ). My skin was quite dull due to acne medication but after using this for a month regularly twice a day; I have noticed a visible brightening effect (not to confuse with whitening :-P ) in my complexion. It doesn't make my skin oily or sticky and also takes care of the occasional dry patches. Its helps in better absorption of serum/moisturizer. With many toners I have experienced stinging sensation and my skin used to feel stretchy but this one makes my skin soft to touch (duh that's why its called softener :-P ) nor does it sting.
