AMOREPACIFIC Time Response Skin Reserve Toner Face Treatment, 6.8 Fl Oz

I love my Korean Beauty products. The ingredients tend to really help the skin look and feel as healthy and radiant as possible. I have used a variety from all price levels. This Amorepacific Time Response Skin Reserve definitely the priciest I have tried. I was keen on this particular "toner" as it has a lot going on for it. It reminds me of KB multi hyaluronic acid I use, but better because it also contains other powerful skin bettering ingredients. Copper peptides are listed- and they are amazing at helping the skin to be all around healthy. I can actually remove one of my products by using this (hence adding value to the price for me). The texture is is viscous, slightly tacky, and feels super hydrating. My skin is left looking and feeling soft, supple, dewy. That is instantly! I am curious what a whole bottles use will do for me :) We are getting into the cold, dry months and my dry skin is so very pleased with the way this toner treatment works. I am going to love it even more when the humidity is real low and my skin is feeling extra parched. I find myself treating this more as a serum than a "toner". Not so much in the summer, but in the winter I am a big fan of employing the "7 skins method"- basically applying a layer (skin) of hydrating toner, letting it absorb, adding another layer (skin) letting it absorb, and repeating that until the skin can't absorb any more. I can do that with this a few times. Or just once. Sometimes I use this after another toner as a semi serum, or by itself as the only toner. It feels like a hybrid. Whatever it is, it is glorious. I apply it by sprinkling a few drops into the palm of my hand, then dispersing between the two palms, then gently patting all over my face. I don't use cotton rounds as I don't want the material to soak up the product. I have used other toners from Amorepacific, and this is the one that is incredible for me. I acquired it in November 2020, and it has a best by date of 2023. I know this will last me a year for sure. Despite the price, if it continues to work well for me then it is a potential repurchase.

Love the product, hate the higher pricing. It's not worth the retail price, that's just too much for any product like this.

AmorePacific Time Response Skin Reserve Toner makes my skin look fresher and feel wonderful. I'm using several AmorePacific products right now that work together to even my skin tone, reduce pores, and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some days I use this toner and other days I use their Botanic Soothing Toner. I find that the Botanic toner does a faster job reducing the appearance of pores and I also feel it tingle a little. The Time Response toner feels more hydrating. Both are slightly viscous for ease of application. The toners have a delicate scent that is suitable for women and men. The directions say to apply with a cotton pad. However, I suggest using fingertips only for application. Otherwise you will end up throwing away a lot of expensive toner that is absorbed by the cotton pads. Either apply directly to your fingertip or shake a couple of drops into your palm and apply. The toner soaks in and dries quickly so you can then use the next product in your skincare routine.

This is different than any other toner I have used in the past. Most toners are thin but this one has more of a gel-like consistency which surprised me. A little bit of toner goes a long way and this 6.8 bottle will last a long time. I have been using this toner along with a few other AMOREPACIFIC products and they all have a fairly heavy scent that reminds me of baby powder. I would prefer if they were less perfumed. Though the texture of this toner isn't what I expected, I do like the way it feels on my skin. It goes on nicely and leaves my skin feeling smooth. Almost like a primer. I have used this product for almost a month and sadly, I don't feel like it has been skin changing. My skin tends to be dry and this has helped a bit but I still have some flaking and dryness. My skin texture is slightly better than it was before I started using this, but I don't think the results are over and above what I would get using any product consistently for the same time period (my skin routine is usually pretty minimal and doesn't contain a toner). This is a high priced toner that is likely a stretch for a lot of people's budgets. For me, the results would have to be very impressive to justify the price and that just didn't happen for me. If price isn't an issue and you want to try a new kind of toner, I would recommend trying this. It does feel nice going on and other skin types might have better results.

This toner comes in a bottle that is easy to open and close, the cap twist off and there is a small hole on the top to squeeze out a small amount of toner. This toner is thin, readily absorbed by my skin and feels light. I have been using it for over a week and have not noticed much difference with this product alone. The smell is a bit overwhelming and too perfumey, it faces after several minutes. I personally think this toner makes my skin dry out and feel itchy. I would not recommend this to anyone with a sensitive nose or a dryer skin type.
