Green People Gentle Tone


Review of Green People Gentle Tone
By Joanna E

Packaging: The packaging is quite iconic and instantly recognisable. The Green People Gentle Tone comes in a plastic tube with nozzle and a very clever ridged lid, making it easy to open. The outer card box is recyclable anywhere, but the recyclability of the plastic tube itself would depend upon local facilities.

Application : Having previously only used alcohol based liquid toners, to now try a gel based non alcohol one was a very different experience. This Green People toner does not dry out skin at all, but enhances hydration which left my skin feeling very soft. I’ve used this for 2 weeks now, just once a day and there has been a definite difference in my skin, which does seem much softer and showing fewer tiny lines. I didn’t use it round my eyes, but on my neck and the rest of my face, using about a pea sized amount and first stroking then patting it into my skin. Being gel, I did have to leave the Green People Gentle Toner for about 30 seconds to sink in before adding my moisturiser on top. It doesn’t feel sticky at all and is absorbed really well into the skin. The aroma of chamomile and rose geranium is quite delicate, which is good, rather than being overpowering and it is quite an uplifting aroma.

Ingredients : This has a high ratio of organic ingredients, as I would expect from Green People products and their policy of strictly avoiding all the harsh chemicals makes their products trustworthy. This particular product is certified by the Vegan Society and also 10% net profit from all their products is donated to various charities.
The ingredients are listed in both Latin and English, and also states which are used as the natural preservatives, so you can see exactly what you are getting. It has a shelf life of 12 months which is more than long enough to use the full sized product – this small size would last about 4 weeks making it ideal for travelling.

Results : After using this once a day for 2 weeks, my skin does feel much softer and more hydrated, so I would definitely buy this again.

Pros : A definite improvement in my skin and a lovely aroma

Cons : None that I have found.
