*This product was sent out to me from Ma:NYO and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.
Alright more skincare ! This time from a Korean company called MA:NYO, whose name translates to sorceress . Honestly that’s pretty cool and I really like the look of the simple bottle too. So let’s see how this works .
I’ve reviewed other essences and toners. or serums including some sort of bad ones like Eve lom Time Retreat Radiance Essence, The Ordinary saccharomyces ferment 30% milky toner, the infamous JLO glow serum ( I talked to one of my friends who got that in a beauty bag and she wasn’t too impressed with it either); and the good amazing serums like the COSRX the 6 peptide skin booster serum, and the Laneige skin toner and moisturizer. So where will the Panthetoin toner place ?
So this is a vitamin B5 and ectoin ( an amino acid that helps skins cells from enviromental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. I read somewhere that it’s found in certain bacteria and microorganisms and helps keep in moisture . I like that it sort of combats redness too. Or at least that’s what I’ve read , I haven’t really been going out in the sun too much the summer and when I do I usually wear sunscreen and a hat. I was happy though that it seems to have worked really well the products I have at the house. Like my ELF Holy Hydration, and my Laneige Waterbank cream .
The consistency of the toner is a thicker sort of jelly like liquid , and I like that it didn’t just pour out like water , kind of like some of the other toner/serums that I’ve used before. It does hydrate and it sort of stays on my skin before really getting absorbed . It made my skin sort of sticky too. I didn’t mind at night but during the day if I was going fresh faced it was kind of an issue. However I really liked how it made my face feel after I wiped or washed it off. It seemed to smooth my face more and make it more hydrated.
One day my skin was feeling a bit more dry , so I really layered it on with my moistrurizer cream , and after I left it on for a few hours and later wiped it off my face felt so fresh.
Not the best pic but one of the few no makeup ones . This was right after I bleached my hair and toned with blue. I feel like using it for weeks really helped my skin and it really didn’t aggrivate my acne . I did get some hormonal acne later that month but I don’t believe it was caused by the serum in anyway.
And a tiktok video too !
Overall this is a winner ! I really like the consistency of the liquid , the fact that it does moisturize and hydrates my skin ,and the fact that it worked well with my other products and didn’t break me out. I would actually be down to try MA:NYO’s other skin care products too. Well let me know what you think and if you have tried MA:NYO before.

Look at you! Everyone says TikTok is the place to be. I just can’t bring myself to go over there.

Haha , I like tiktok , I don’t stay on there too much cause it can be super easy to waste time , but it’s great for my hobbies , makeup , games and other interests . The best thing is trying to curate your algorithm , which seems to be a bit easier on Tiktok than even IG .

It’s pretty good , not sure how good it will be once it’s sold , but at the moment it’s not bad . If you want a truly solid video algorith thoigh , check out Xiaohongshu . I was on there during the tiktok ban and there’s literally so many cooking videos that I kept saving . And I was even able to talk to other doberman owners in China and share pics of Roxas . It’s truly wholesome , and is even better than tiktok .
