We all know the feeling – you’re standing in front of the mirror checking yourself. And here it comes, the temptation to look closer. No, that’s not close enough. Even closer.
And what do we see? All those hundreds, no, thousands of little holes on our nose. Cheeks. Chins. Foreheads. Thousands of unseemly pores, larger than we expected. Is this how we appear to other people? Unlike our perfect, smooth selfies? So the insecurity kicks in.
But here’s the truth – yes, we do indeed look like that to other people. But they also look like that to us. Do you mind it? Probably not, especially if you like the person. But even if you haven’t reached the levels of cool, unbothered zen of enlightenment yet, there is no reason to worry.
Skin toner for acne scars
There are products called toners, and then there is the Misumi Pore Purifying Toner. Toners are designed to reduce the appearance of pores on your skin, and ideally, also cleanse or unclog them. But not all toners come packed with the wealth of natural ingredients that the Misumi Pore Purifying Toner comes.
But ingredients only matter as far as their practical effects. From astringents (ingredients that tighten the skin) to moisturizers and antioxidants, the Pore Purifying Toner checks all boxes.

It comes packed with Hyaluronic Acid that will soften and refresh your skin, and is further enriched with Witch Hazel, Sage, Hops, Lemon Peel, Marigold, Comfrey Leaf and Lavender extracts. All these goodies in combination will efficiently, and safely, tighten your pores, cleanse them, restore your skin’s natural pH balance, and keep any excess oil in check.
For example, you’ll find plenty of Witch Hazel and Lemon Peel extract in the Misumi Pore Purifying Toner, both of which are time-tested astringents with strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These will keep your skin safe from any pollution by tightening the skin and protecting your pores. A nice side-effect of this? Your pores will appear smaller and your face will look smoother.
A lot smoother, thanks to Musumi’s attention to detail.
Add to this the Lavender Extract, which besides providing a nice aroma, also controls excess skin oil without drying your skin. Hops will also discourage any acne-causing bacteria from forming, while Sage Leaf will help reverse signs of aging and will shower your skin with precious minerals and vitamins.
It will also remove excess oil without drying or irritating your skin, and finally, soothe any acne inflammation you may have.

This toner will expertly reduce the appearance of your pores and cleanse your skin. It will also remove excess oil without drying or irritating your skin, and finally, soothe any acne inflammation you may have.
