Toning Your Skin with Malunggay
Ok herbal cosmetic lovers! Are you ready for Moringa-O's Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner?
 |
| Moringa-O Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner 100ml (PhP 89.75) |
"Malunggay leaves are an excellent source of vitamin A and B, and minerals such as calcium and iron. It is even an excellent source of protein, being higher than the amino acid pattern of Food and Agriculture Organization-reference protein, yet contains very low fat and carbohydrates. The leaves are incomparable as a source of the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cystine, often the natural minerals humans lack.
Due to its high vitamins A, C, and E, which are very potent antioxidants, malunggay is a very good quencher of unstable free radicals that can react with and damage molecules that cause aging. Antioxidants reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They also prevent the onset of various chronic diseases like arthritis, cancer, and heart and kidney diseases."
The label basically explains it all. Yes, Olive Oil is great for moisturizing the skin too! So imagine the benefits when two of natures great ingredients are combined!
I not even going to pretend that I know everything there is to know about eading labels but basically I just Google ingredients I am not familiar with and then weigh it from there.
So, the ultimate test! I used this on myself for 3 days. Once in the morning before moisturizing, and once again at night after cleansing my skin.
The truth is, I couldn't use it longer than 3 days because I couldn't stand the strong fragrance. I am impressed with how great it cleanses and tones the skin (my pores actually became less obxious!) with just a little product, but I just found the product too fragrant. It lingers for a while too that's why I didn't use it for too long.
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while would know that I really don't like strong smelling cosmetics. The product smells of sweet green tea. Like those handwashes or massage oils that smell too fragrant? Like that.
If smell is something that doesn't bother you easily, then I would recommend this toner! It really cleanses well, leaving your skin fresh and feeling clean.
Have you tried this toner? What do/did you think of it? Share with me!

That is such a shame about the smell! I hate when products have a really strong scent - it makes me not want to use them!

That's so true. I don't like cosmetics that will just annoy me the entire time because of powerful fragrances!
DeleteI only tried their lotion that I got from SR. Scents from these kinds of products won't really bother me at all, so I guess I will give it a try. Plus the malunggay benefits and affordable price. Large pores has also been a problem for me and good to know that it minimizes pores! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jelly! Lucky you, you are not picky when it comes to cosmetics with strong fragrances! I get turned off easily with strong smells so I don't get to use a whole lot of products when they smell too strong :( Thank you so much for dropping by!
DeleteSometimes I do, but when I think of the great effects it'll do in my skin, then scent wouldn't really matter for me at all. You're welcome! I love your blog. I do even share it on my fb. You deserve more followers and likes Ms. Sabs! xx
DeleteThat's so true! Thank you so much for your support! ♥
DeleteI'm loving this toner, I grab my first one from SR.
ReplyDeleteI already purchased 3 more bottles, got one left. It made my skin really healthier and softer than before.
Loving it!♥
Good for you! I did read so much reviews on the benefits of malunggay! It's just me that I don't like strong smelling cosmetics :) Hahaha! Thank you too for sharing your experience on this product! So helpful! ♥
DeleteOhh it has fragrance in the ingredient list. I was hoping it was a natural scent. Thanks for this though
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean :) Thank you for dropping by!
DeleteI love organic products but the scent is one of the thing I consider too. I want to try this but if the smell is too strong lalo na ngayon I'm suspecting I'm pregnant Ms. sabs, it will add to my morning sickness. THanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHihihi! i heard that pregnancy has extra special sensitivity to smell :) Hehehe... Congratulations! And thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteI like this toner, but I'm not a fan of the scent either! It's not the strength of the scent that bothers me, I just don't like it, period. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about products having unpleasant smells. Which is a shame because sometimes the product is so good, the fragrance is just eek. In all fairness to this toner though, I like the smell, it's just waaaaay too strong! Hahaha! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI'm not a fan of the scent of this one either but this one really helped my skin so I just learned how to ignore it. I have a dry skin so this toner is not that harsh and really moisturizes my skin. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good toner ♥ Thanks for reading my post!
DeleteHaven't tried this Ate Sab. Yung lotion lang nila. Mejo strong nga ang fragrance ng Moringa products. But I am planning to try this, currently having skin breakout na naman :(
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sorry to hear about your breakout :( But malunggay has a lot of natural antiseptic properties that could help :) Good luck! And thank you so much for dropping by!
Deletei love this toner. it has no alcohol so it doesnt sting. i deligently use this AM and PM. my pores are noticeably smaller, my skin smoother and less oily. i dont mind the "herbal" smell.
ReplyDeleteI actually tried using it again before I do my facials and I'm getting used to the smell now :) I want to make it work because it has amazing effects ♥
Deleteim not a fan of products that is scent-overpowering.. really.. i have sensitive nose.. and the truth is i have rhinitis so this one is No-No for me.. i would go back to eskinol na lan siguro ms sabs =)
ReplyDeleteEskinol classic is the bomb ♥
DeleteI am curios about this product! well i am using pure extract of malunggay (dinudokdok ko yong leaves niya hanggang lumabas yung katas niya) then i put it on my face. After it dries I apply kalamansi extract! After 3 days of using it my mole got lost and my skin lightens too. It got fresher! And i'm hoping that my warts will get rid of it! Just sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is such a helpful tip! I will definitely try this! Thank you for sharing!
