The L’Occitane Angelica Face Toner Also Doubles Up As A Hydrating Face Mask

September 22, 2011 Paris B 16 Comments

So, earlier today, I told you that whilst the L’Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream was a pretty decent moisturizer, it didn’t quite tick all my boxes. I’m not quite sure why myself. I’m usually a lot more forgiving 😛

But there is one product in the Angelica range that did tick all the right boxes – the L’Occitane Angelica Face Toner.

l'occitane angelica face toner review

This is an alcohol free face toner infused with the Angelica water and Angelica essential oil which as we learnt earlier this morning, has hydrating and skin repairing qualities. Like the Hydration Cream, this toner smells green. I swear its like a cucumber-parsley mix which isn’t unpleasant but is very green. To me, the scent isn’t as strong as that in the cream and does not linger on the skin.

Part of the reason I like this toner after trying the tester size that was provided to me, is because it does not dry the skin. I wet a cotton pad and wipe it over my skin and it feels refreshed, and clean and not drying at all. The other reason I like this is because I can also use it as a mask! 😀

The latter reason is why I used up the sample bottle so quickly and had to go get myself the full sized bottle. On top of using it as a toner after cleansing and before moisturizing, I was also using this as a face mask. I was told at the press launch that I could do that, so naturally, I had to try it.

l'occitane angelica face toner review

You can use those compressed paper mask pellets that you get in beauty supply stores. But I just used regular cotton pads. What I do is moisten the cotton pad with this Angelica face toner, then apply it to my skin focusing on the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. You do get better coverage if you use those paper masks but I was too lazy to go out and buy them. Cotton pads do the job just as well and these make perfect travel partners because you can use them anywhere! For better coverage (and to save money 😛 ), I do split up the cotton pads so I can cover more skin surface.

Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes then remove the cotton pads. I like how my skin feels cool and fresh after that. I kept the sample sized bottle as you can see above. Its a 50ml bottle and the perfect size for me to travel with, so I can decant the toner from the big bottle and have a hydrating mask and toner with me when I travel 🙂

In a nutshell

A face toner that can also be used as a face mask to cool down skin and infuse some hydration. The scent is light and fresh and after use, skin feels cool, clean and refreshed. It isn’t drying on my skin and I like using it as a face mask too.

Pros: Multiple uses as face toner and mask, Skin feels clean and fresh after use

Cons: Some may consider it pricey but it does last quite a long while

The ingredient list is below for anyone interested. Like the Hydration Cream, the Angelica water and Angelica Essential Oils are from organic sources but this does not make this product an organic product per se.

l'occitane angelica face toner ingredients

Like the boxes, there is braille dots on the back of the bottle, which you can see above. I just noticed that there is peppermint oil in the list of ingredients which might be irritating for some people if you intend to leave it on your skin. I experienced no irritation using this, but I guess this is what ingredient lists are for – so you know if there’s something you should avoid 🙂

    Ever since I tried the Shea eye balm which stung my eyes BADLY, I don’t dare to try any of the other products.

    I realize that their products contain parfum/fragrance.. I thought organic or ‘green’ skin care does not contain parfum… hmm….
    BTW, nice review! Always get to know the product w/o first using it..hehe

      Ah thats why these are not organic skincare 🙂 Just the Angelica water and essential oils are organic but the range isn’t.

    I tried both the Angelica cleanser and Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel.

    For me, Angelica cleanser is a bit hard to rinse off cause it is quite slippery. But this is no big deal, just a few more splashes of water will do the job. After wash, face feel hydrated and soft to the touch.

    For JB Green Apple Cleansing Gel, it is not a watery gel form with scent of citrus. It’s quite easy to rinse off. After wash, face feel hydrated as well but not as good as Angelica cleanser. However, after 2 weeks use (day and night) of the cleansing gel, I can see there is a visible improvement of my skin where it is visibly more radiant and smooth.

      Thanks for sharing Bryan. Haven’t really tried anything from Juice Beauty myself. The few samples I did try didn’t wow me 🙁

      Yes I think so too. I don’t know how it’ll fare in drier climates though.

    Since I already got the REN moisturiser in lieu of the L’Occitane Angelica moisturiser (I’m still interested in it, though :P) I might get the toner to use as a mask! 😀

    OMG!!! This is what I have been expecting from you 🙂 I was looking around for a hydrating toner without alcohol & parabens and this one looks so tempting with the green glass bottle. One question, does the peppermint oil give you the minty feeling afterward? Like when we put medicated oil on painful muscles… I wouldn’t mind if it is there for the cooling & refreshing effect but hope it wouldn’t be too much…

      One note Coraline, the bottle for the face toner isn’t glass, its plastic, which is unlike the face cream. I don’t get any tingling feel to be honest. I didn’t even know there was peppermint oil in there until I looked at the ingredient list recently 😛

    I agree with you. L’occitane Angelica Face Toner is so good, leaving my skin feel soft and moist. It almost feels like there is no need to apply any additional cream at all..

    I live in Norway. When the temperature is moving below 0 degrees celcius, my skin is transforming into a dry, dusty place. I was so happy to discover that this one could change my skin back to that summer feeling 🙂
