Only the CUSkin PH Balancing Toner is of retail-size while the Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (L) and Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture are of trial size.

There's 3 different types of lotion, namely Light, Moisture and Acne under this range. I received Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (Light) as part of the goodie bag for the Freshel event. Prior to using Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (Light), I was using Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. Hence, I wasn't really used to the thin consistency of Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (Light). So I stopped using it for a while until I finished using Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture.

The consistency of Laneige Power Essential Refiner Moisture is somewhat between a lotion and a toner. Hence, I find that my skin could adapt better when I switched over to Kanebo Freshel Whitening Lotion (Light) after I finished the bottle of Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture.

Moisturizing: ★★☆☆☆

Brightening: ★★★★☆

Fragrance: ★★★★☆

Consistency: ★★★☆☆

Cleansing: ★★★☆☆

Overall, I am rather satisfied with this lotion as it really helps to brighten my skin. Plus, the fragrance is very mild which doesn't trigger my sensitive nose. The only gripe is the consistency as I would prefer if it was a little thicker. But then again, it says 'Light' on the bottle, probably I will have to try out the 'Moisture' one if I really want a thicker consistency.

Overall rating: 3.2/5

CUSkin PH Balancing Toner is like your regular toner. It contains alcohol which probably explains which my cheeks turned red when I first started using it. I kind of freaked out and stopped using it immediately. It can be a bit drying for normal to dry skin.

However, it removes impurities rather well. Scent-wise, it rather mild and not overbearing. I like the fact that it comes in a pump bottle which is easier to control the amount of product that I need.

Although I wouldn't recommend this for daily usage, here's how I use CUSkin PH Balancing Toner till the last drop:

1) After removing blackheads with pore strips, I would apply CUSkin PH Balancing Toner to my nose area before applying pore tightening serum. I find that by using CUSkin PH Balancing Toner in place of my regular toner, it helps to tighten my pores better.

2) If I spot any angry red bumps/pimples, I would apply CUSkin PH Balancing Toner to soothe it before using a anti-acne facial mask. This would reduce the redness and swelling of the bumps.

I have reviewed this previously in one of my post. Here's the link, http://sweetestsins.blogspot.com/2011/09/laneige-water-bank-series-revitalised.html
