Nice but shouldn't be used daily
I thought the toner had a nice and interesting formula, and it felt good on the skin right away. The consistency was thicker than I expected, more on the milky side, which gave it an almost creamy feel when applied. It also absorbed very quickly, and it sat really nicely under makeup while the skin felt refreshed right after application. However, since I have combination skin that easily gets dry during the winter months, I noticed that using it both morning and night, as suggested, was way too much and made my skin noticeably dry after just a few days. Therefore, I think the toner works better when used a couple of times a week as a mild exfoliation rather than daily. I would also recommend it primarily to people with slightly oilier skin types, as it likely provides better balance there. I didn't see any noticeable change regarding pores. In summary, I am still satisfied with the toner and will continue to use it, just more sparingly. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good and affordable alternative to a salicylic acid-based toner.

Too warm undertone
The self-tanning mist was nice and transparent, which made it hard to see where I had applied it and how much. After an hour, there was hardly any difference, so I sprayed on another layer according to the instructions on the packaging. It also said that you didn't need to rinse it off, which resulted in me waking up completely orange in the face the next day. The undertone is way too warm for my pale skin tone. Luckily, the color didn't last a week but faded after a few washes. One plus is that it didn't smell much, but make sure to hold your breath when you spray it. I also got a very orange nose, and the self-tanner didn't look good at all even though I had exfoliated beforehand. I wouldn't recommend this unfortunately.1 product in post Too warm undertone10 views - The post was made 5 hoursRating: 2 out of 5
Weak application and orange
This product unfortunately became no favorite. The self-tanner mist was nice and transparent, which made it hard to see where I had applied and how much. After an hour, there was hardly any difference, so I sprayed on another layer according to the instructions on the packaging. It also said that you didn't need to rinse off, which resulted in me waking up completely orange the next day. The undertone is way too warm for my pale skin tone. Luckily, the color didn't last a week but faded after a few showers. A plus is that it didn't smell much. If you like a warm brown self-tanner, this will suit you well, but for me, being very pale, it was a big minus.

Pretty okay
Vitamin C serum: I initially thought the vitamin C serum was good, even though I didn't feel any direct difference in my skin. The consistency was nice and it sat well under my daily routine, even under makeup. However, after using the serum for just over a week, I can say that the results still feel quite limited. In my opinion, there are better vitamin C serums on the market that provide a clearer effect. With this serum, I experience neither any noticeable change nor the feeling that it contains particularly much active vitamin C. Even though it sits well on the skin, it's not something I will use regularly. Vitamin C Glow boosting UV fluid: This sat nicely on the skin, but I didn't feel it provided much radiance. I have combination skin that gets quite dry in the winter, and with this product, I didn't get the glow I usually prefer. The coverage is very light and the color is somewhat too dark for me when I'm pale, but since it's thin, it still works well under makeup. It sat nicely under my foundation (L’Oréal True Match), but the radiance was barely noticeable. I will use it more in the summer when you just want a little shine, light coverage, and UV protection without foundation. For summer, I would absolutely recommend it, but for winter, it's not my favorite.
