It has a slightly watery consistency, which made it easy to apply even with a cotton pad

Those with extremely dry skin might want to avoid this product. It's a bit too light for what dry skin types typically need

I liked how it was moderately moisturizing and felt comfortable to apply without being too heavy

화이트닝 스킨 [건성용]

Try decanting it into a mist bottle! It's great to spritz on right after cleansing.

The downside is that the pump occasionally gets stuck. Given it's a large, budget-friendly option, the packaging isn't particularly attractive.

So gentle! I'm using it as a cleansing toner. Love that it comes in a large size. While it may not dramatically brighten the skin, I find its soothing effect to be more noticeable.

I think it would be good to use as a face pack. The ingredients are gentle, and the volume is incredibly large!

I'm not sure. There aren't really any good or bad points.
It has a bit of viscosity, so it's inconvenient to use as a toner that you wipe off, and it doesn't really cleanse well to begin with.
Also, it's not very moisturizing to use as an essence.

The cost-effectiveness is improving.
The volume is incredibly large and the container is sturdy.
The pump is also durable and the ingredients are very gentle.

It's not bad, but it's not good either.

It's labeled as a whitening product, but I'm not sure about that.
It's said to be for dry skin, but I'm not sure about that either.

This is the best of the basic, ordinary products.
It's moderately moisturizing... without any stimulating scent or sensation.
It doesn't really help with dryness. It also doesn't have that shiny, greasy feeling.
It just feels like you're simply applying a basic skin care product.

 Yes, it's great to just apply this toner right after washing your face without drying off the water. The slightly slippery and supple texture feels really nice. I've heard that some people decant it into smaller containers, but I find that too much of a hassle, so I just apply it directly.

 It's a bit disappointing that this product contains surfactant ingredients. I noticed that most of the products from this brand include them, and I'm not sure why they felt the need to add them. However, I haven't experienced any major issues or breakouts, so it's not a major concern for me.

 I think this product is a great value for money at around 9,000 won for 500ml, with good ingredients. The texture is water-based with a slightly slippery feel, and after use, it leaves a smooth, supple sensation on the face, as if a film has formed. It also seems to work well as a booster for the next skincare step.

I believe that a toner without alcohol but with moisturizing ingredients is the best option at an affordable price, and the Gwibti Lab toner seems to fit the bill perfectly. And the best part is that it's fragrance-free! (There was a slight fluoride-like scent at first, but I couldn't detect it on the second use.)

I used to use the Secret Key toner, but after switching to this one, I found the fragrance to be too strong and unpleasant. When I use a full skincare routine with multiple products, the strong fragrances can give me a headache, so I really appreciate that this brand is all fragrance-free. I'm a big fan and plan to continue using it, as it feels a bit more affordable than some other options.

The lightweight plastic packaging is also great - it doesn't feel slippery and has a nice bounce to it, so I don't have to worry about it breaking if it falls. Compared to thicker or glass packaging, this is a much safer and more convenient option.

The disappointing part is that it doesn't seem sufficient for dry skin. It's like a watery toner, but it's just a water-based skin. I didn't feel too dry since I had to absorb it multiple times, but it might be more suitable for oily skin types to use it just once or twice.

Affordable price with ample capacity! I bought it to do 7 skin, and my skin has definitely improved compared to before! My pores have also noticeably shrunk, and I'm now on my third bottle using it. With Coupang's rocket delivery, this is truly a great deal!

I bought an opaque or semi-transparent spray bottle and filled it about halfway with this toner.
Generally, you can just pour in enough toner for about a week's worth of use.
And I also mix in 1-2 dropper-fulls of an ampoule product that suits my skin well, such as The Face Shop's Bifidata Ampoule, Centella, Vitamin C Ampoule (needs to be used quickly), Propolis, etc.
Personally, I find that if you mix in a thinner consistency product, it shakes up well and sprays evenly without any separation.
And you can use it with a puff as a cleansing toner.
This way, you can save on the ampoule and use the toner efficiently without waste.
Rather than just using it on your face, you can also spray it all over your body after showering, and it will help even out your overall skin tone.
As long as it's not a colored ampoule that will stain your clothes, it's fine to use all over your body, not just on your face.
You can change the spray bottle every month or two, or whenever you switch the ampoule type.

I wouldn't recommend carrying and using the full bottle.
It's heavy and cumbersome...
It's a bit like a runny consistency, so it's not quite suitable for using as a cleansing toner.
And using it alone can sometimes be drying.
Personally, the solution I found helpful was the tip in the additional text.

I bought this large-capacity toner after searching for it on social media. The price was reasonable due to a discount, and it's around 10,000 won if you buy 2 bottles.
It's not a complete watery toner, but rather a slightly runny consistency.
The good points are:
- Large quantity
- No drying out
- Good value for money
I've tried various types of large-capacity toners, and as long as they don't cause any skin issues and the price is decent, they're all pretty much the same.
Just make sure to check the ingredients and avoid anything that doesn't suit your skin.

The whitening effect... I'm not sure about that.
It's for dry skin, but it's super dry.

The pore management really works well.
When I use this, my skin definitely improves!!
It became more transparent, somehow.

This seems perfect for those with extremely dry, sensitive skin..but the ingredients are actually more suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. This is for dry skin.

Do not use this on dry skin..I bought it thinking it was for dry skin and the ingredients were gentle, but I made a mistake in my purchase..Using this, I experienced a feeling of my skin tearing~

Soak a cotton pad and wipe it on. Oh, and if you drop the bottle, it'll probably shatter - the plastic seems very fragile.

As expected, using a toner alone won't whiten my skin! (Of course, I always use whitening products for my basic skincare, but my skin has already gotten as white as it can, so it won't get any whiter..ㅠㅜ) The bottle is also a bit flimsy. It came with a broken lid, so I had to glue it back on, boo hoo... And the biggest downside is that the large capacity makes me get tired of using it. The scent is also a bit meh... (But it's kind of addictive to use it every day, haha)

It was smooth and comfortable to use, affordable, with a large capacity, and gentle on my skin - no breakouts. As a liquid type, it's suitable for wiping off. (But I was curious sometimes if it was just water, haha) I used it in the winter and it didn't dry out my skin at all, it felt soft and supple. I hadn't heard of the brand before, so I was a bit worried, but it turned out great! It's especially good for poor college students like me!👍 (Large capacity and no breakouts!)

If you buy and use the 100% hyaluronic acid ampoule from the same company, it's really great.

I haven't noticed the whitening effect yet.. It seems like I'll need to use it for 3 months to see the results.. Those with dry skin will need to use a separate moisturizing cream.

The price is affordable, the ingredients are good, and it even has whitening functionality.. I'm using this along with the lotion and 100% hyaluronic acid ampoule, and it's very moisturizing and the volume is generous so I can generously apply it all over my body. I haven't experienced any trouble or issues. My skin is often itchy and very dry, but I've been using it without any problems.
