In addition, it includes EWG green grade ingredients that exclude harmful or allergenic ingredients for sensitive skin. This is a skin-soothing, trouble-eliminating, and skin-comforting iUNIK’s toner, serum, and gel cream skincare routine.

The iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Toner. This toner is watery so it would be easier to soak a cotton pad with it. As you apply it to your face, it will feel cool and moist. It’s very simple, you just have to wipe it to your face and you can move on to the next product. But when your skin is drier and more heated than usual, you can use it as a simple toner pack. This also contains Portulaca extract that heals and soothes skin damages. So you can use this toner when your skin feels hot and sensitive to cool and soothe the skin quickly.

There are times when the skin becomes rougher than usual, when dead skin cells, whiteheads, and blackheads all rise, running makeups – that’s when this toner comes into play.

Next is the iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum. This serum is watery and nonsticky. It will feel very light and moisturizing on the skin. Smooth and quick to be absorbed – you can even use this all year round regardless of the season. Sometimes, serums are as moisturizing as this can be oily, so it would be better to wait for a while after applying this serum to prevent oiliness, but only smoothness.

The last item is the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream. This product has a clear and watery gel-type texture. With low viscosity, the cream will feel fresh. It is soothing and refreshing. There is also a gentle aroma in this cream and you might worry that the cream might have some artificial fragrance, but its aroma is from bergamot oil extract which is all-natural. You would smell it while applying the cream, but it would fade away after a while.

You can apply this cream before makeup, unlike other gel-type creams that just don’t get along with makeup. This cream is also absorbed quickly into the skin and smooths the skin helping makeup adhere to the skin better. Not only that, but this cream also cools the heated skin. It is a great product to protect heated skin especially the heat in the summer season.

If you use various products that reduce skin troubles from excessive sebum, making your skin oily yet dry, then this skincare routine is suited for you. This also works great for dry skin. If your skin is dry and feels dry, then you should try this as well.
