  1. Omg what! I am obsessed with the riceberry toner from liitllextra! It leaves my skin feeling super fresh and clean. It’s undoubtedly in my top 3 favorite toners, and I’ve already bought it twice!
    I m a dry skin girlie and it nourishes my dry skin beautifully. My friend who has acne prone skin also uses it, and she said its helping calm her skin down. So in my opinion its truly universal skin friendly.

  2. I appreciate the explanations here. I can’t get all of those into my regimen but I prefer individual products that include multiple skincare products in one. For example, my moisturizer also acts as an SPF & a primer so I get 3 in one. I also double cleanse with an oil based cleanser & gel afterwards. I’ve had to include an added layer of oil to my moisturizing routine in these harsh, cold 🥶 winter months. And out of the 4 above, I prefer serums & ampoules for my sensitive combo skin.

  3. This video is super clear and helpful! I’ve never really understood the difference between toner, essence, serum, and ampoule, but thanks to this video, everything is explained in such detail. The way you broke down the differences between each skincare product, from toner to ampoule, really helped me visualize the steps in my routine. I especially loved how you explained the blurred line between essences and serums – so interesting! Thank you for the valuable info, I’ll definitely try applying these steps in my skincare routine after watching this!

  4. Hello,
    My step is = Cleanser then exfoliating toner pad then rice
    milk toner ..then snail essence 96 , then.. niacinamide sérum and moisturizer then and spf. My step is ok?♥️

  5. Actually toners is really unnecessary if you want to bring back moisture and all because you will get those moisture from you essence/serum/ampoule. Toner only necessary if you want to use it as an exfoliant. Please don't buy toner because you want to use it to remove the leftovers impurities. This is wasteful of product, always double cleanse your face using micellar water/oil cleanser/makeup balm and follow with face cleanser. If when using toner and you see your makeup in your cotton pad which means your double cleanser is not good enough to remove all the makeup.
