Pleasant Scent

It seems to be an exfoliating toner, but honestly, I can't recommend it. The irritation hits you immediately.

As soon as I applied it, I felt a stinging sensation. The fragrance is also quite bothersome. And the color is slightly orange, which made me wonder why it's that shade.

I used it for just one day, and it doesn't seem to suit my skin well. The description claims it removes dead skin cells.

The main drawbacks are that it can be a bit irritating for frequent use, and you have to purchase it from overseas (I usually buy mine from iHerb).

# Pixi Glow Tonic
Skin type: Extremely dry / Slight redness / Rarely gets blemishes

I use Stridex for exfoliation and sebum control, so I don't use Pixi Glow Tonic too often - maybe once every 1-2 weeks. It's a bit too intense for frequent use on my sensitive skin.

I typically incorporate it into my nighttime routine. I saturate a cotton pad with the tonic and gently swipe it across my face. The next morning, my skin looks incredibly clear and radiant!

While I don't use it daily, I always make sure to apply it the night before important events. The results are so dramatic, it's become my secret weapon for special occasions.

Application:
It's a liquid tonic. After soaking a cotton pad generously, I sweep it across my face. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth. However, for my dry skin, this tonic alone isn't enough - I always follow up with an emulsion and cream.

Effects:
Amazing at removing dead skin cells! It noticeably refines my skin texture, giving me that coveted 'Inner Glow' the next day.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the need to purchase through a buying service. Although you can get it at a relatively affordable price considering its effectiveness, there's a bit of hassle with shipping. Also, the dramatic results aren't quite as extreme as some of the rave reviews might suggest. It's best to think of it as a product that simply helps cleanse skin impurities like dead skin cells. I believe it's loved as a cost-effective option.

After purchasing this globally beloved product, I was quite satisfied with the results. Despite containing AHA, it was generally non-irritating unless your skin was in poor condition, and I rarely experienced any tingling sensation. It excelled in its primary function of dead skin cell removal and was effective in refining the skin. As for the scent, I expected it to be floral like the product's color, but it actually had a clean, almost scentless fragrance. While it's not exactly a pleasant aroma, it's certainly not off-putting either.

I absolutely don't use it daily, but rather every 2-3 days. Since it's a chemical exfoliant, using it daily can be a bit irritating for the skin.

It's hard to find. The inconvenience of having to order from overseas every time is a bit frustrating.

I love how it naturally exfoliates dead skin cells without being too harsh. I'm planning to repurchase.

I have oily skin and use this every evening, followed by a soothing mask with thermal spring water mist like Avène. It's absolutely fantastic!

There are no downsides! It's actually difficult to find anything negative to say about this product.

I've only been using it for about a week, but it's absolutely amazing! As summer approached, I suddenly developed an unmanageable amount of blemishes on my forehead and nose. I tried everything and bought over 7 new skincare products, which was incredibly stressful. This toner was my last attempt, and it turned out to be a game-changer. Almost all of my blemishes have disappeared, and my skin truly glows as the name suggests. My skin texture has improved dramatically too!

When I first used it, I experienced a slight tingling sensation.

As someone with dry skin prone to blemishes, I found this product really helped clear up my complexion.

I can't really think of any downsides. There don't seem to be any. Maybe the fact that you might need to buy it from overseas? Though that might not even be necessary...

My skin has become so glowy, I love it! For reference, I have quite resilient skin, so I vigorously massaged this in both morning and night.

It's quite expensive if you buy it in Korea. I recommend purchasing it from international sites like iHerb or RoseRoseShop. While shipping takes longer, it's much cheaper, so it's best to time your purchases accordingly.

It's great to keep this AHA toner on hand for blemish-prone skin. I always make sure to stock up on this product.

The best strategy is to keep an eye out for iHerb sales...

Although I don't have particularly sensitive skin, depending on my skin condition, it can cause a burning sensation or tingling when applying. It's challenging to find large sizes by Korean standards, and the price isn't particularly reasonable.

I use this as an exfoliating toner two to three times a week, and it's effective for managing dead skin cells. While the results aren't immediately noticeable, you can tell the difference when you stop using it. The package design is quite attractive.

1. It stings.
It stings quite a bit. Although I have sensitive skin, I don't think I can use it frequently

2. Lack of hydration
If you only use this as a toner, it can be drying due to the alcohol content
You might need to use another watery toner or hydrating toner alongside it

3. Strong scent
I don't use fragranced products often so it's okay for me, but it does have a rather intense smell
Those with sensitivities should take note

1. Gentle dead skin cell removal effect

2. Reduction in small blemishes
There was a very slight improvement, just a tiny bit!!

3. Impurity removal
Even without using an exfoliating toner aggressively, it effectively removed impurities

It's not exactly a pro tip, but I find that consistently using it morning and night with a well-soaked cotton pad seems to be the best method.

The downside is that it can be a bit tingling on the skin. I use it by saturating a cotton pad, and I noticed some irritation around my eyes, nose, and cheeks.

I've been using this product morning and night, and it's made a noticeable difference. I used to always get blemishes on my chin, but since I started using Pixi, my complexion has become smoother, and the breakouts on my chin have visibly reduced. That's why I'm sticking with it.

Hmm... For those of us with sensitive and dry skin like mine, I'd recommend using it only once or twice a week, rather than daily. For example, I tend to use it as part of my nighttime routine on days when I've had my makeup on all day or my skin just feels a bit congested.

There is a slight stinging sensation when using it, possibly due to the AHA ingredients... But it's fine once I apply the essence and cream afterwards ^^; Of course, it's best not to use this if you have inflammatory acne or extremely sensitive skin.

This is a review after almost finishing a bottle. 😊
After cleansing, spraying this toner and using it to refine my skin texture, I can feel my skin becoming smoother the next day. The scent is also not unpleasant.
My skin is very sensitive, so when I use exfoliating scrubs, I tend to get more breakouts and dryness. But this gently removes dead skin cells, and when I apply my daily serum/cream afterwards, my skin feels much more hydrated!
Unless I find an even better toner, I think I will repurchase this Pixi one.
