Review | Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion Treatment Toner

The Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion Treatment Toner was featured in my most recent skincare overhaul post. I mentioned in that post that I wanted to post a full review, and after using it for almost two months, I have a good feel for what this product does.

“Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion is proven to provide 24 hours of moisture and significant protection from environmental stressors while evening skin tone and refining skin texture. The radiance-boosting formula also softens the skin which allows ingredients to penetrate more deeply, enhancing the efficacy of your complete skincare ritual.”

Black tea, blackberry leaf extract, and lychee seed extract inhibits damaging free radicals and improves skin elasticity. Polysaccharides help to smooth the skin. Japanese mandarin extract boosts radiance and evens skin tone. Hyaluronic acid attracts and seals in moisture. Rosewater is soothing and balancing. Finally, vitamins E and C for added protection.

This toner is housed in a heavy, glass bottle. Not ideal for travel but adds a touch of luxury.

In other reviews I’ve read, people have found the scent too overwhelming, so keep that in mind. But, I actually really enjoy the scent of black tea. It doesn’t linger, but it is quite potent upon application.

I use this on alternating nights with the Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion, in my night skincare routine. Applied after cleanser, before the Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic. I apply it with my finger tips as opposed to a cotton round because I would rather it be absorbed into my skin, not the cotton round.

There has been a noticeable difference in my skin since using this product. I agree with all the claims, except I can’t really tell if the product is doing a good job protecting against environmental stressors. But, my skin is more radiant, moisturized, and the texture and skin tone have improved.

In my opinion, this product is definitely worth the $56 price tag.

I hope this review was helpful. Have you tried this toner?
