Lancome Absolue Rose 80 Toner Review

Disclosure: I was sent Lancome's 2023 Advent Calendar for review in October. There were some products in the calendar, that I've never tried. I've been reviewing these products since October. All opinions in this blog post are 100% my own and honest. This post contains affiliate links. I get commission for purchases made through the links in this post.

PR Sample: I have been testing the various toners I received in Lancome's 2023 Advent Calendar. I tried the Tonique Douceur Facial Toner and Tonique Confort Hydrating Toner. I really love the Tonique Confort Hydrating Toner, because it provides moisture to my dry skin. The next toner I tried, was Lancome's Absolue Rose 80 Toner (Bloomingdale's, Harvey Nichols, Nordstrom). I think this toner will be loved by ALL skin types. Let me share what Lancome states on their website.

Lancome states this toner is, "A luxurious face toner infused with 80% skin-soothing rosewater for visibly refreshed, brightened, even, luminous skin. Formulated with a concentrated blend of 80% skin-soothing rosewater, sodium hyaluronate, and salicylic acid, Absolue Rose 80 is a face toner which revitalizes and brightens the skin. After one application, skin is more hydrated and feels softer. In one week, skin feels smoother and complexion appears refreshed. Over time, skin texture looks refined and skin tone is visibly more even, bright, and luminous. Sourced exclusively from the South of France, Absolue roses are freshly handpicked one by one in the cool hours of the early morning to capture the flowers at first bloom. Rose 80  has the highest concentration of rose-derived ingredients in the Absolue collection, a luxurious rosewater blend which includes bio-fermented rosewater, distilled rosewater, rose essential oil, and rose nectar. Together, these elements of the rose help to hydrate, soothe, refresh, and brighten skin. They are combined with sodium hyaluronate, a derivative of hyaluronic acid known for its moisturizing properties, and salicylic acid, a known exfoliator to help gently smooth the surface of the skin. Striking the perfect balance between revitalizing power and divine sensoriality, Absolue Rose 80 face toner is the perfect preparatory step to prime skin for the rest of your routine. Face toners should be used as the second step in your skincare routine after cleansing. Overall, toners help to gently refresh the skin and remove any impurities. They also help to restore the pH balance of your skin so that it is prepared to absorb the benefits of the subsequent products in your skincare routine."

INGREDIENTS*
Formulated without parabens, sulfates, silicone, mineral oil.
80% Rosewater Blend: A luxurious blend of rose essential oil, rose nectar, bio-fermented rosewater, and distilled rosewater, this forms the highest concentration of rose-derived ingredients in the Absolue collection. Known to help hydrate, soothe, and refresh the skin. 
Sodium Hyaluronate: A salt form of hyaluronic acid known for its ability to retain water, thereby helping to smooth and re-plump skin with moisture. Sodium hyaluronate is also more bioavailable than hyaluronic acid, meaning that it can be more readily absorbed into the skin.
Salicylic Acid: A well-known exfoliator that helps smooth skin texture and balance the pH of the formula.
*Ingredient benefits are based on product formula testing, not on the individual ingredients.

Now, let me share my thoughts. I want you to first try this toner at night. When you apply this toner to your skin, your skin will immediately absorb it and your skin will immediately feel hydrated. After that, you won't detect anymore bells and whistles (for awhile). You will probably say, Kim suggested this stuff and I don't see or feel the hype. I know you will say that, because that is what I said. HaHaHa But when you wake up in the morning! OH THE GLORIOUS MORNING! There will be bells and whistles. When I woke up, I couldn't believe how SOFT MY SKIN FELT, how SMOOTH MY SKIN FELT, and how PLUMP MY SKIN LOOKED. I said WOW! I shared it with my mom and told her she had to try it. She did and she absolutely loves it. The reason why I tell you to first try it at night, is so you can see and feel the difference in your skin. After that, you can use this day or night. Will I kick my Fresh Kombucha Essence to the curb? No. I plan on using this toner at night and my Fresh during the day. The Fresh gives my skin extra plumping that I need. But this toner is some really good stuff! I LOVE IT!
