Christina toner for normal skin reviews (English)

Christina toners (Christina) are cosmetic products from an Israeli brand intended for professional skin care. The goal is to eliminate the imperfections of problem skin. The use of tonic liquid has also gained popularity at home. It not only completes the cleansing procedure, but also acts as a “conductor” for subsequent cosmetic actions. Thus, creams are better absorbed into the skin, and their effect is enhanced by almost 40%. It moisturizes epithelial cells, restores acid-base balance, soothes, mattifies, heals microcracks, removes oily sheen, fights acne and blackheads.

The Christina brand assortment allows you to purchase suitable tonics that suit your specific skin type. An incorrectly selected tonic will not perform its intended tasks. In some cases, the following may appear: dryness, rashes, redness, peeling and itching. Therefore, when choosing, you need to familiarize yourself with the composition and properties of the product, as well as correctly determine the type of epidermis. Then it will be safe and will not harm the epithelium.

Composition of cosmetics for problem skin

Christina will tell you about the purpose of tonics and the composition of each individual product. You can read about it on the back of the bottle. Depending on your skin type, the consistency may vary. Thus, for oily and problem areas, products containing a certain proportion of alcohol have been developed - up to 30%. Also included in tonics are:

water
extracts of medicinal herbs
vegetable and essential oils
hyaluronic acid
collagen
peptides

Thanks to natural ingredients, the absence of fragrances and aggressive substances, the cosmetic liquid gently cares for the face. Some products are approved for use during pregnancy and lactation. You can find out how to use facial toner in the article.

Care with an excellent composition from Christina: washing, toning, moisturizing

Aloha to everyone, dear readers!

Today I swung at the rhetorical questions of facial care. So,

• Are you looking for good products for basic skin care (Washing\Toning\Moisturizing)?
• Is it important to you that the composition of the products really works and not just masks problems?
• Do you want to know if the cream contains ingredients that can clog your pores?

If you answered “Yes” to at least one of the questions above, you are under cat. Welcome! be careful there is a lot of text

I think many have heard about the brand, but I’ll repeat it briefly. Christina is an Israeli cosmetics company that develops and produces products intended for professional cosmetologists. The range of therapeutic professional cosmetics includes many products to eliminate almost any problem or need of the skin.

With these funds from Christina I met when my skin was in a very poor condition.
About skin: she, my dear, is 23, combination, really problematic, constantly having rashes not just a couple of days a month, but every day for the last 3 years, very severely dehydrated a consequence of almost continuous treatment.
At that time, my skin was so dry that it was painful for me to even smile, and I’m just silent about such a little thing as peeling all over my face.

With such a Gobi desert instead of a face, I came to a friend of mine who is very keen on analyzing the composition of cosmetic products, and asked me to find me care products that really work, and do not just mask problems with a film of silicones on the face.

Therefore, for the products described below, I only had 2 requirements:
• Maximum non-aggressive and high-quality skin cleansing
• Restoration of hydrolipid balance and real saturation of the skin with moisture

Cleansing.
Christina Fresh Pure Natural Cleanser. Natural cleanser for all skin types

Texture The manufacturer states that this is a gel soap. I completely agree with him the texture of the cleaner resembles liquid soap, i.e. Its consistency is somewhat thinner than that of washing gels.

I apply it as follows: squeeze a small amount of product onto wet palms, whip it into a small light foam and apply it to the face. The foam turns out to be soft, light, slightly fluffy and at the same time...slippery. When you soap your face, you feel the foam sliding across your face, it’s an unusual sensation.
With this method of application, the consumption is minimal.
Smell A little intrusive, but it smells quite pleasant, like floral water.

Expanded opinion:
The product has an excellent composition and does not contain harsh surfactants such as SLES, SLS or synthetic components. The Cleaner is based on soft detergent bases and purified deionized water. The manufacturer's website states that the product is safe during pregnancy and lactation.

I always remove makeup with micellar water, so I can’t evaluate how well the gel removes makeup. The gel cleanses my skin well and delicately. A nice bonus is that it can be applied to the area around the eyes.
I manage to completely cleanse my face in one go, and at the end I get clean skin, without a feeling of discomfort or tightness, there is no slippery film left, the skin is soft, clean, soothed. It seems to me that the complexion after washing becomes somehow uniform, without redness. Doesn't sting eyes or dry out.

Summary: This gel soap is an excellent basic cleansing option for any skin type, be it oily/combination or dry/sensitive. It cleanses all impurities well, but at the same time delicately, without drying out the skin (you won’t be able to wash your face until it squeaks), but on the contrary, leaving it soft and gentle to the touch.
Grade: 5
Price: 850 rub. in the online store
Testing period: about 5 months

Toning
Christina Unstress Stabilizing Toner. Rebalancing toner

I believe that toning is an important step in skin care. Tonic/Lotion not only completes the cleansing procedure by removing any remaining detergent, but also serves as a “conductor” for subsequent care products. I noticed on myself that the properties of creams are revealed better with tonics, and they are absorbed many times faster.

Texture. Tonic is a viscous liquid substance, i.e. not just water. When applied with circular movements on the face, it begins to foam a little (due to decyl glucoside, the safest surfactant. After all, the tonic can also be used for makeup removal).
The consumption is very small.
Smell unobtrusive, light floral.

Expanded opinion:
The composition of the tonic is excellent, soft and at the same time contains moisturizing components that can really saturate the skin with moisture and restore lipid balance (due to glycolic acid, lactic acid, panthenol). The website states that this tonic is safe during pregnancy and lactation.

As I said, the toner may foam a little when applied, which doesn’t bother me at all. It is quite viscous, so after application you feel it on your face, but within 1-3 minutes the tonic is completely absorbed. The skin after it becomes velvety, there is no feeling of stickiness, while it perfectly soothes the skin and slightly moisturizes.
The tonic does not sting even very dry areas of the skin or wounds, so it is very comfortable to use.

Summary: I can recommend this toner to people with normal, dry, sensitive skin who want to maintain the natural level of skin moisture. I can also recommend it to those with combination skin if you feel like it lacks hydration.
For those who have oily skin, it will most likely seem too heavy, it will take a long time to be absorbed, and perhaps after it you will feel that the skin even shines.
Grade: 5! Excellent tonic with excellent composition.
Price: 1100 rub. in the online store
Testing period: about 5 months

Hydration
Christina Elastin Collagen Placental Enzyme Moisture Cream. Moisturizing cream with plant enzymes, collagen and elastin for oily and combination skin

I believe that hydration is the skin’s immunity the less water, the harder it is for it to function normally and fight the external environment, bacteria, etc. All skin types need hydration at all times! When my skin stops being dehydrated, my blackheads disappear and my T-zone becomes much less oily. Therefore, I try not to use mattifying products, but, on the contrary, to actively moisturize the area that bothers me.
Texture: White light cream, not thick in consistency, easily spreads over the skin. The smell is barely noticeable (to my nose).

Expanded opinion:
The composition of the cream is simply gorgeous. The cream really moisturizes the skin, because... The composition contains powerful moisturizing components that, on the one hand, instantly moisturize (fast surface hydration), and on the other, have a prolonged accumulative effect (deeper hydration). At the same time, the cream contains almost no components that could clog pores. The website also states that the cream is safe during pregnancy and lactation.

The cream is very comfortable, easy to apply and quickly absorbed. The skin after it is moisturized, nourished, soft and velvety to the touch. The cumulative effect is felt, because the skin is a little bit every day, but it still becomes less dry and dehydrated. I didn’t notice a drying effect on inflammation or narrowing of pores, and I didn’t need it. I can’t say anything about matting, but it doesn’t make the skin any more oily than usual.
For me, this is an excellent cream for warm weather, because... It's a bit light for winter.

Summary: This is a great workhorse for normal, combination, oily skin. It really solves the problem of under-hydration of the skin and does not cause oiliness. However, if you feel that your skin is severely lacking moisture during the heating season, it may be too light and more suitable for spring-summer.
For dry skin there is a similar cream with the same good composition, but according to reviews the difference between them is not striking.
Grade: definitely a 5! Decent product.
Price: 1150 rubles for 100 ml of cream in the online store.
Testing period: about 3-4 months.

Grand total. These are not products that you fall in love with at first sight or use, they will not decorate the bathroom, they will not excite the mind with deep relaxing scents. However, it is workhorses such as these products that improve the condition of our skin day after day and help it look beautiful.
These are great working products for any skin that feels lack of moisture or that needs quality daily care.
I would like to warn you that not all brand products have a harmless and effective composition, so any product must be carefully studied.

Thank you for your attention!
Peace, Goodness and successful shopping to everyone.
