The toner comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with a flip cap on top, which makes it very easy to use & handle.
Since it’s a see through packaging , its easy to judge how much you are left with /used 😀 😀

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT
This has to be one of the best toners I have used till date and I am very sure that I am going to stick to it for a while.
Initially, when I started using it, I felt that it was a bit sticky on my face and my face got a little greasy too. I wondered as it is supposedly meant for oily skin, so it should not be making my skin greasy .Then I thought I might be using a bit too much of it than the required quantity. So the following day, I took a few drops of it on a cotton swab and just swiped across my face and neck , and my it didn’t make my face sticky at all then So, I have found that you should not too much of it for 1 time use . The toner is really refreshing and thus, I find it great for summers. It has a slight pleasant fragrance which I like. One thing I really like a lot about this toner is that it takes out /removes even the tiniest speck of dirt /makeup left on the face (even after cleansing.)
Now coming to how it has worked on my skin and what all issues it has dealt.
• I see a major reduction in my blackheads and whiteheads
• My post acne marks/ other blemishes have cleared a lot.
• Slight reduction in pore size
Overall, I am quite in love with this toner and I am definitely repurchasing this one

Pros of The Body Shop SeaWeed Clarifying Toner:

• Works really well in reducing blackheads & whiteheads.
• Reduces spots/marks/blemishes
• Slightly reduces the appearance of pores
• Will suit well to oily/ combination skin.
• Since a very little quantity is required, one bottle lasts for long.
• Skin feels very refreshed instantly after applying this.
• Removes any residual dirt left even after cleansing.
• Alcohol free.

• TBS products are cruelty free/ TBS is against animal testing .

Cons of The Body Shop SeaWeed Clarifying Toner:
• It has parabens.
• If you expect your pore size to reduce drastically, or to a great extent, you may not like it.
• Some of us may find it a little expensive @ INR 545 for 200 ML .

IMBB RATING – 3.5 on 5 (-1.5 for all the above listed cons)

      n be careful ok,
      jinal told me thr this beauty centre kuch mumbai mei, wahan fake products miley they thode din pehle, n thy also gie 10-20% discount on TBS 😐 😐 😐 😐

  14. arre nahi nahi…I m buying stuff from alfa since ages and all their products are quite genuine 🙂
    I think they import the products on huge scale and hence the discounts….they also have Biotique, VLCC, Maybelline, Colobar, Lakme etc counters directly from company….i know about this beauty center but never been there as quite far from my palce 😛

    1. haan alfa se maine bhi bahutttttttt saare ferfumess mangwaaein hain, i knw its genuine for dat 😀 😀 😀
      n tum naaa TBS US ka site dekho, 😐 😐 😐 😐 mujhe bhot hurt hota hai wenever i see it :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep:

  15. You know nuuufuuur,I was using toner religiously for last 6 months and I didnt notice anything drastic in my skin,so I chucked it..its been 3 weeks and my pore size has got enormous which in turn has increased black head 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥

    Now I am back to toner..will buy this for sure once I finish my huge fab india tea tree waala toner :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

    1. ritika, i left using toners last yr..
      but this year i started again, and i can clearly see the diffrnce 🙂

      oh dat fab india wala bhi good hai, i bought it, but 1 frend ne le lia 😐 😐 😐

  16. I love TSB toners & have been currently using the Tree tea one which is also pretty good.But now it’s getting over. I’ll look out for this.Thanks for the review :thanks:

    1. yeass, i have heard a lot abt TBS tea tree one too 🙂 I may get that too 🙂
