REVIEW - iUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner

iUNIK is a young Korean brand connected to http://www.unique4u.net web store that offers Korean skincare products, many of which are from smaller companies that are not so easily available elsewhere (at least for international buyers). Looking at iUNIK's products it seems to me they paid attention to what people are looking for and have produced their own line based on true and tested and much loved ingredients in Korean beauty. Rose Glactomyces Essential Toner is no different, its two main ingredients  Rosa Damascena Flower Water (70%) and  Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (10%) are  both well loved and popular ingredients among lovers of Korean skincare products. 

Toner claims to be moisturizing, re-balancing and softening to sensitive skin. As claims go these are rather sensible. I am digging the humbleness and common sense on display. 

It comes in 200 ml plastic clear bottle. Design is rather clean and functional, much like the product itself. Product is easy to dispense and control without any leaking of the product. Ingredients list is provided on the label in English and Korean as well as instructions for use and claims. 

Toner is clear in color and runny like water. It has a slight, rather pleasant rose scent. 
Instructions state to use it after cleansing with a cotton pad or fingers. Pretty much like any other toner. I like to apply hydrating toners with hands because it just seems a waste to drench cotton pad with one. 

Clear and runny like water

It sinks into skin easily and quickly leaving behind moisturized skin that is not sticky or tacky but is smelling faintly of roses. As other hydrating toners it helps products that follow absorb better. If you like you can use it for that 7 layers of toner skin care routine.  

Ingredients:
Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate,Butylene Glycol ,Water, Glycerin, Glycereth-26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Allantoin, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract, Adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin,Rose Flower Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

The star ingredients are of course:
Rosa Damascena Flower Water  - produced by steam distillation of Bulgarian rose petals. It has a long tradition of use in Europe for its antibacterial and skin balancing properties. Scent of Bulgarian rose is known to be relaxing. 

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate - well loved k-beauty ingredient that was made popular by a Japanese brand SK-II product SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. Galactomyces ferment filtrate is said to help with skin issues such as acne, pore size, oil/sebum control, uneven tone, improvement of skin texture, signs of aging as well as dry skin. 

Oriental Beauty fruits (iUNIK name for extracts of fig, pomegranate, morus alba or mulberry and ginko biloba nut) - they contain vitamins, amino acids and help protect skin from sun damage by absorbing UV-A and UV-B rays. They are also antioxidants. 

CosDNA analysis of the product comes out really clean 

Conclusion: This is a very pleasant basic hydrating toner that works well in hydrating and softening the skin and helping subsequent products absorb better. It did not irritate my skin or cause any breakouts. Its rose scent is pleasant without being overwhelming. I would recommend this to anyone that likes using rosewater as toner or loves a rose scent. Looking at formula it seems suitable for all skin types.
