While it's a simple formula, it seems the value for money isn't great. It appears to be a product that people either love or hate.

It has a runny texture that absorbs well. This product is suitable for normal to dry skin types.

마린 하이드로 스킨 리파이너 [Ⅰ]

While I have dry skin, I prefer products that are lightweight and not sticky. Those with very dry skin might feel this doesn't provide enough hydration.

My skin is super sensitive and usually gets all red and irritated with other products, but this one doesn't do that at all. I've been using it for years now. It's such a shame it's being discontinued!

Is it a downside that it's more hydrating than the emulsion? Just kidding! It's simply great!

For a toner, it has a richer texture, so it's great to use on its own for light hydration! I think it's more moisturizing than the emulsion from the same line. And the fragrance is lovely!

Since I have combination dehydrated skin, I layer it twice. That really locks in the hydration!

There's nothing to complain about! It's my beloved product!

Lirikos Marine Line... Ah, it's my holy grail! I've been using this marine friend for 8 years and counting. It's just so amazing! I've stocked up at home, and all my basic skincare will be these buddies from now on! The scent is wonderful, and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated! Plus, it's packed with moisture, which is fantastic!

After switching to this product, I think I'm developing small blemishes.

It absorbs well and has a nice texture. The scent reminds me of men's skincare products, but it's not unpleasant.

However, for some reason, I'm not particularly drawn to this toner.

Designed for combination to dry skin, it's packed with hydration. The texture falls somewhere between a watery toner and a viscous one, leaning slightly more towards the watery side.

Recommended more as an absorbing toner rather than an exfoliating one!

The quantity is a bit small for the price, and the bottle is quite heavy. Also, the scent is reminiscent of a masculine skincare product - it's quite strong and personally, I'm not a fan.

⭐Texture⭐
It's not watery, but has a thicker consistency that feels more hydrating! It's less about refining skin texture and more about deeply moisturizing to create a hydrated base for your skincare routine.

⭐Hydration⭐
For a toner, it's incredibly moisturizing. While it may not completely eliminate deep dryness, it does an excellent job of keeping the surface of your skin hydrated. Perhaps expecting a skin refiner to tackle both surface and deep hydration is a bit much? Considering that, it does a great job at providing hydration!

⭐Absorption⭐
Thanks to its great texture, when you pat it in, you can feel the hydration instantly clinging to your skin! It's a satisfying product in terms of hydration and absorption. What I love most is that it doesn't just sit on top of the skin!

It's neither good nor bad, just average. I wouldn't really want to spend this much money on it though.

I have oily skin and suddenly started getting blemishes, even though I never had them before. I hadn't been taking care of my skin at all until recently, and this is the toner I started using! It absorbs cleanly without any stickiness or rich feeling. I didn't have any allergic reactions after using it, and I think it works well as an exfoliating toner.

The small amount for the price is disappointing. Although buying from department stores does come with plenty of samples...

The runny texture is amazing - when you apply it, your skin feels genuinely hydrated and soothed. It's incredibly moisturizing! I'm on my umpteenth bottle now.

For best results, dispense some product onto your hands, spread it evenly, then apply it all over your face and gently pat it in. Make sure to get it all on your face before it absorbs into your hands!

<Cons>
1. In summer, it feels heavy even when used alone - best suited for dry weather conditions
2. Personally, I find it doesn't absorb well when applied with a cotton pad, so it's better to apply directly with hands
3. The forehead and nose areas tend to get oily quickly...!

※This review is based on using a 100ml sample product

<Pros>
1. The scent is not overpowering, which is nice!
2. It has an essence-like consistency, so it doesn't run or drip excessively!
3. It doesn't dry quickly, leaving the skin feeling plump after application!
4. A little goes a long way - you can cover your entire face with a small amount, so it lasts longer than expected!

Dispense it onto your hand and pat it on gently! If you apply too much, it will absorb too slowly

- In the summer, it feels a bit sticky, even when just applying the toner alone
- It works better in the winter than in the summer
- At first, the scent was too strong, and it made my face feel a bit itchy

- Applying the cream keeps the moisture lasting for a long time
- There is no waste with cotton pads, so it lasts a long time
- After using it for a while, my milia have decreased, possibly due to the moisturizing effect
