I'm not sure if it actually calms my skin, so I probably won't repurchase it, unfortunately.

Absorbs well and provides great hydration. It's a reliable, easy-to-use toner that gets the job done.

The hydration is lacking. It's better suited as a toner. It doesn't feel slick or moisturizing.

If you're looking for an extremely hydrating toner, this might not be for you. It's more of a basic toner substitute.

The price is quite steep. It's too expensive for regular purchases, so I'm looking into other products as well.

As someone with super sensitive skin, this is the only product I've used that hasn't caused any blemishes afterwards.

It had a somewhat strong scent, and when my skin was feeling sensitive, it occasionally gave me a slight headache.

Even with a quick application, it absorbs well and provides ample hydration, which I found quite satisfactory! Between exfoliating toners and absorbing toners, I prefer the latter, so I've been using this absorbing toner regularly.

Recommended for use as a mist or for a skin pack

The scent is a bit too medicinal and strong. Not recommended for those sensitive to fragrances. It's also on the pricier side.

Large size and a reliable product. It doesn't particularly irritate the skin, applies smoothly, and I'm currently using it by refilling my mist bottle when needed!

There's not really anything to complain about, but it's best to buy it when it's on sale.

I've been using this product consistently for two years now. It works well for my combination skin!

The price is affordable, the product is great, and I'm completely satisfied with everything.

Perfect for the 7-skin method! It's ideal for dry skin. After the third layer, you can feel your rough skin becoming soft and supple.

1. I tried mixing it with other products to use as a mist, but it disrupted the oil-moisture balance. I don't recommend mixing it with other products. (The product I mixed it with was the large green bottle of Madecassoside toner!)

2. When I tried using only this toner without applying cream or anything else, my skin became oily. So that didn't work out. Usually, you wouldn't use toner alone, but just FYI!

1. I felt it dried rather quickly. 
Other than that, I didn't find any particular drawbacks.

(For reference, I have such dry skin that I meticulously apply several layers of moisturizer after using toner)

I've been using this toner for years, and here's my review:

1. Perfect as a 1:7 toner. It's not too oily, nor is it just pure hydration. It has the ideal oil and moisture balance. Compared to other products, this aspect is truly outstanding.

2. My skin has improved since using it. I think it's due to the toner's ingredients. It has never once caused any issues with my skin.

3. Suits all skin types. After using this product, everyone in my family experienced soothed and improved skin. Our family has various skin types including dry, combination, sensitive, and very dry. We all use it without any problems.

4. The packaging is great. While the cap is smooth, the bottle itself has a non-slip texture, making it easy to use.

Bonus: I've tried many toners and mists before, but I'm so happy to have finally settled on this one. It's perfect for use in any season!

You'll definitely see results if you use it as a mask! Soak a cotton pad generously, leave it on for about 10 minutes, then gently wipe your skin. Follow up with your emulsion before bed, and you'll be amazed at how it clears up small bumps and sebum, leaving your skin texture beautifully refined by morning. But as mentioned earlier, it's not effective on larger pimples or raised milia-type blemishes.

It doesn't seem to have much effect on larger blemishes or emerging acne. But I appreciated how gentle it felt because of that. I recommend using this product as a mask on areas that don't break out much, like the cheeks. For acne-prone areas like the chin or forehead, try combining it with tea tree oil! You might find a solution for all your skin concerns.

This is my holy grail toner. I have dry skin and while I don't get many blemishes, being a teenager means I still get some acne here and there, along with some small bumps. The calming effect is incredible! I've gone through 5 bottles on my own. I mainly use it as a mask, and the difference in skin texture and small bumps is noticeable on days I don't use it. It really helps reduce and soothe those tiny bumps that give the skin an uneven texture. However, it wasn't as effective on larger pimples.

It works wonders when you soak a cotton pad and use it as a mask on sensitive areas.

There's nothing really bad about it, but it's a bit pricey for a toner, isn't it? I used it generously like a mask, and the bottle emptied out pretty quickly.

Please, everyone needs to try this! It's just so amazing. Why wouldn't you get it? Seriously!

However, after applying this, my face feels tingly and has a burning sensation. It also causes some redness. I thought it was just me, but apparently not. I've been using Madecassoside creams well, so I had high hopes, but I guess this one isn't for me.

It absorbs well and being fragrance-free, it's not irritating.

I used it together with madecassoside, but it caused a tingling sensation. After using it about three times, I stopped.

I received this as an additional item from a home shopping purchase...

As soon as I applied this, my face felt like it was on fire. It's so tingling! Given how gentle the ingredients are supposed to be, I'm starting to think I might just not be compatible with toners or serums in general. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin, and so far, every toner or serum I've tried has been a disaster. I'm almost ready to give up. I wonder if it's the alcohol that doesn't agree with me? It's frustrating not knowing which ingredient is causing the irritation.

While it didn't suit me personally, my mom is absolutely loving it. I guess I'm just on the super sensitive skin side!
