Review: Axis-Y Daily Purifying Treatment Toner & Intensive Barrier Ampoule Review

The first time I was offered to try Axis-Y products I wasn't really that keen honestly. It's a brand that I wasn't familiar with but at that time I was in the midst of changing my skincare routine after a bad breakout so I did some digging on skincare and it's ingredients. When I looked into Axis-Y's products, it changed my mind and made me very keen to try them out. After almost 3 months with this brand and reaching to empty bottles, here are my final says. Keep on reading to know.

My Thoughts on Their Daily Toner

Their marketing points sure got me hooked, as it pointed out one of my main concerns that I wanted to fight with at that time which was acne. As I mentioned in my Instagram post, I've used it for a while now and I'm almost finishing the bottle after 3 months of usage. It has been my daily toner upon rotation with another but I've been using this one a lot lately as I feel it works effectively.

Ingredients
This toner is mostly full with plant-based extracts and its ingredient list is pretty good with amazing ingredients inside. The main exfoliating agent for this toner is Salicylic Acid which is very good to help deal with acne. That's why this toner is highly recommended for people with acne problems. Besides that, it contains quite a number of soothing and skin-identical ingredients which perfects the combo. Just be aware that they do use a few ingredients that are comedogenic and irritating.


Packaging
It's simple and neat. I really had fun taking shots with this and most importantly it fulfils its purpose. I didn't have any problems with spills or wastage.


Texture
It's very watery and runny, takes. bit of time to absorb completely though but once absorbed, it feels great!


Scent-Wise
The scent is also to love which mostly the scent comes from plant extract, but be careful as it does contain an essential oil that could potentially harm the skin for some people with sensitive skin.



Experience
Every time I use this, I see less acne popping and my acne scars are almost gone. I definitely love how soothing it feels on the skin, as it gives an instant calming reaction.


Overall Thoughts
This toner was one of the first toners I've used when I started the 10-Step Korean Skincare Routine to heal my acne breakout. I still had less knowledge to properly use products back then but now I'm aware of it. The Axis-Y Daily Purifying Treatment Toner is an exfoliating toner which means it cannot be used daily even though it as a daily toner. This is because exfoliation is meant to remove dead skin cells and it also causes the skin barrier to thin out if used continuously. It's recommended to be used a couple of days a week. Rotate it with the use of hydrating or soothing toners instead.

Overall this is a really good toner, I've used it daily in the past and my skin healed from acne greatly. I don't recommend you using it daily though because harming the skin barrier is much more troublesome. If you're looking into a toner to help with acne, this toner is highly recommended. Even a lot of skincare fanatics highly recommends this brand. For me, this is definitely a toner you can look into.

My Thoughts on The Intensive Barrier Ampoule


Ingredients
It contains so much skin-loving ingredients, with Artichoke, Centalla Asiatica and Tea Tree as its superstar, the rest of the ingredients just perfects this ampoule. It's strong in giving antibacterial benefits which means better results in fighting acne. Ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin perfects the combo by providing hydration which is also one of the big keys to fight acne. It does contain a few comedogenic and irritating ingredients but didn't bother me much. 


Packaging
It's in a glass bottle provided with a dropper which is very hygienic. The dropper works so well in obtaining and dripping the product. I haven't had any issues with it. The design in also nice and it doesn't take much space in my skincare drawer as well.


Texture
It's thick and pleasantly soothing. It absorbs quite fast into the skin as well.


Scent-Wise
It doesn't have a strong scent as it's toner which is actually very good since it perfuming is based from a plant derive Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract.


Experience
I think my acne recovered a lot from using this and my skin is surely better than it was before, I never had experienced really bad acne ever since I used this. I could see major improvements to my skin too, it looks more healthy and alive.


Overall Thoughts
Love love love this! This product totally opened up my eyes for this brand and I'm rooting for more products from Axis-Y soon. Would totally recommend this for those with oily to acne-prone skin. Unlike it's toner, this Axis-Y Intensive Barrier Ampoule could be used daily and a very great ampoule to use too.
