I bought this toner out of curiosity as soon as it was released, following the great experience I had with

Missha Time Revolution First Time Essence (original formula).

This toner is on a different league and cannot really compare with the FTE though. Whereas the FTE gives a honey-skin finish, the Vitality toner gives a clarified effect.

Sorry, I cannot deliver a scientific approach about pH measurement and threw the box away, so cannot give you the full ingredient list either!

I remember the formula list was verrrrrry long: saccharomyces, licorice, niacinamide, anti-oxydants middle-high of the list etc.

My current assumption is that it seems to be a slightly exfoliating and acidic lotion to prepare my skin to receive the following skin cares.

It's not sticky at all and doesn't sting the eyes whatsoever. However, I need nearly 1/4 more than FTE to indulge my face and neck properly (I simply pat the lotion on with my hands).

It absorbs very well and feels pleasant to use. There's a very very light floral and fruity smell of the namesake ingredients - hibiscus and cranberry - I find soothing and enjoyable.

The texture of my skin became smoother after 2 weeks bi-daily use; also, my skin tone is clearer, more transparent but in a radiant way, not a dewy way.

I guess this lotion would be perfect for spring because it feels light weight, yet hydrating. I reckon I would use less product too because my skin is usually less thirsty outside our current winter time.

It's been over 1 month I've been using it and I'm very satisfied. The price point is also very reasonnable for such a good product that actually delivers.
