ConsWhile it has a cooling effect, those with super sensitive skin might feel a slight burning sensation!
TipIn summer, using this followed by just one essence helps control excess oil and replenishes hydration!

I've tried various types of toners/essences that exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This was a decent, reliable item.
ConsHowever, with the renewal, the price increased, and more affordable alternatives started appearing. They unnecessarily split it into 'Light' and 'Essential' versions, making it confusing to choose. Also, I always run out of cotton pads. I used to really like those pads, but trying them again recently, I find them irritating. They seem to work well only with the runny texture of this product.

After wiping, the skin feels smooth. The container is made of glass, which is reassuring, and the cotton pads provided are thick and nice.
ConsThe scent was irritating to me. It also contains alcohol, so just wiping it off feels like a waste since the cotton pads provided are thick and can absorb a lot. But applying it like a face pack worries me due to potential skin irritation. There is a subtle irritation.

The cotton is really great, so it was convenient to tidy up the dead skin cells, and I didn't have to use a separate exfoliator! I'm on my third bottle now, and since it's been getting more humid lately, I'm going to get the Light version!
ConsBecause of the stickiness, I wouldn't recommend it to those who dislike that feeling... (Oily skin types should try the Light version) And the cotton can be a bit irritating as well! It may vary depending on your skin type, but I also find it a bit irritating to use it morning and night, so I only use it in the morning now!

I recommend using it with cotton pads.
ConsThe amount is ㅠㅠ The cotton absorbs a lot of the product... If you don't use much, it can be irritating when wiping ㅠ

ConsIt has a slight scent, perhaps due to the alcohol content... On days when my skin is in poor condition, it can feel a bit irritating

Instead of wiping with a regular watery toner, using the serum helps refine the skin texture, which is nice.
ConsI'm doubtful whether the functions will be properly utilized. At first, I wiped with a cotton pad and the rough side, and I'm worried it might irritate my skin if I pour a lot onto the cotton and use the back side to absorb it, so it's a bit uncomfortable and seems like it will wear out quickly.
TipI'm using this serum, then the enriching essence, and then the enriching cream. It stays moisturized all day, but the slightly sticky feeling is a downside.

I tried both the [Light] type and [Essential] type as samples, but the [Light] type was too dry for me and caused increasing irritation on my skin, so I chose the Essential type and have been using it consistently for about 3 weeks. One good point is that the usage felt moisturizing. 😊 The product contains BHA and AHA ingredients, so it can easily cause dryness if used improperly, but I didn't feel my skin drying out after using it. 💕 Another good point is that it is effective in managing whiteheads and removing impurities. After double cleansing, I wiped my skin with this toner, and I was shocked to see the cotton pad turning yellow again!!! (Aghast) These days, there is a lot of fine dust, so if I hadn't used this, I don't know what would have happened. ㄷㄷㄷ By concentrating on wiping the nose area, nostril, and between the eyebrows, the blackheads have faded. This product seems to be effective not only for managing dead skin cells but also for sebum control. 3. It contains a variety of fermented extracts, such as lactobacillus, aspergillus, plum fermented extract, and rice fermented extract, so those who suit these ingredients will feel their skin becoming clearer the more they use it. The fermented ingredients seem to complement the irritation and dryness caused by the dead skin cell components.
ConsThis product has very clear pros and cons. Cons: 1. Alcohol is the third ingredient on the list. While it may be effective in temporarily dissolving and removing sebum, prolonged use could lead to increased dryness of the skin. 2. Despite containing chemical exfoliants like AHA and BHA, it also has a variety of citrus extracts like lemon, orange, and apple, which can cause irritation. Not recommended for sensitive skin... When products contain glycolic acid and salicylic acid, the pH is usually around 3-4, but with all these acidic extracts added, I don't know what to say. For someone like me with thin skin, using this daily could be disastrous. 😭 My skin would become as thin as paper. 3. Poor value for money 💩 24,000 won for 120ml? The E brand product I used to use is around 15,000 won for 150ml, and I can get it for 7-8,000 won with a discount. Why is this so expensive? I'm so glad I didn't buy this with my own money. (Phew) Repurchase intention? Ummm... One experience to satisfy my curiosity is enough......
TipUsage tip 1: It pairs well with embossed cotton pads 💕 Embossed cotton pads have a dense, mesh-like pattern of holes on both sides and a firm texture, which prevents fuzziness. Using this type of cotton pad can maximize the effects of the product! (Available at Watson's, Missha, Olive Young 😘) The cotton pads that come with this product are honestly not very good. 😭 The cotton pads absorb too much of the product, leading to a lot of essence being wasted, and they also create a lot of fuzziness. I don't understand why they would include such poor quality cotton pads as a free gift... Usage tip 2: It's recommended to use this toner with AHA ingredients as a night care (evening toner) rather than in the morning. Apparently, AHA ingredients can degrade collagen when exposed to light. 😢 Usage tip 3: For those with sensitive skin, don't use it daily!

Improved skin condition The makeup application is different 2. Minimal effect on pores I'm very focused on minimizing pores, but there is a mild effect 3. Improved rough skin texture I don't know why, but even though the skin looks fine on the surface, it feels very rough when touched, and this product has an effect here as well.
Cons1. Many people don't suit it Based on discussions with other employees, many part-time workers with thin skin (visible capillaries, thin dry skin, etc.) found that the first serum essence didn't suit them Instead, their skin became uneven and irritated 2. Removal method It's quite inconvenient, but the problem isn't just the inconvenience People with sensitive skin think that wiping it off with cotton pads is itself an irritation
TipPurchase it around Chuseok when the large size is released or during a sale period ^^ Not recommended for people with thin skin ^^
