This review is way overdue since I finished the cleanser and toner of this BeFine morning sampler a while ago. 

That's the official image of the so called "morning sampler".  It includes the Gentle Cleanser, Firming Toner, and Daily Moisturizer with SPF.  It normally retails (the sampler) for $20, but I got it Ross for about $5.  To be honest, I'm glad I only spent $5 because it wasn't all I thought it would be.  Now don't get me wrong, if it was the only thing around, I would use it because it didn't break me out or make my skin any worse than before, it just wasn't as great as I was hoping.

First off, the cleanser was really the downer for me.  I don't know if it's just the trial size, but the cleanser is incredibly thin and liquid, making the screw top unwieldy to try to close when my hands are wet, but I don't want to spill the product.  I did like the slight minty smell, it's kind of refreshing in the morning.  It felt like there was something thicker in the bottle, but no matter how much i shook it, it always came out liquid and runny.  It's pretty gentle, almost too gentle and I don't think it removes makeup perfectly well. The full 3.4 oz size is normally $15.99.  SKIP.


The Firming Toner is a pretty good product.  I liked that it didn't dry out my skin upon application, since toners are notoriously full of alcohol.  This one contains willow bark extract to close pores and tone the skin; witch hazel to smoothe and firm the skin; aloe barbadenisis leaf juice to boost collagen production.  Yeah, I'm not sure what that last one is exactly, but my skin didn't mind it.  The trial size comes packaged with a spray pump, so close your eyes and squirt away! $15.99 for 3.4 oz again.  I'd buy this before the cleanser if you use a toner.

Daily Moisturizer is a serviceable moisturizer that I think works best for normal to slightly oilier skin.  My skin is slightly dry and didn't feel rich enough for me.  It's also got a pretty heavy sunscreen smell that does disappear quickly; it may be off-putting to some. A little will go a long way with this moisturizer as it does spread very easily. $19.99 fo 3 oz.

So if you're going to purchase any of these three, I'd go with the toner, but stay tuned for more BeFine product reviews.  I think I cleared my local Ross out of their selections.
