Cons- Sticky finish - Difficult to control the amount. Poor lid quality. - Skin irritation. Even lightly touching the skin around the eyes or mouth with a cotton pad causes a stinging sensation, like alcohol on a wound. It just stings, without causing any particular breakouts. After using it for about a month, I felt my skin texture was getting rougher, so I stopped using it. Looking at the ingredients, I've used the witch hazel extract and other components before without issue, so the problem may be with the 'witch hazel extract' itself or the Citrus Unshiu Seed Extract. That one is the most suspect.

It's just that kind of toner.
ConsWhile it doesn't contain any fragrances, the witch hazel scent is a bit headache-inducing. It doesn't cause any skin troubles, but it stings a bit when I apply it.

I tried this product, which has almost the same ingredients, and found that it was just as moisturizing and good for the 7-skin method. It also didn't cause any trouble for me.
ConsBut the citrus ingredients... I'm sensitive to the bitter orange seed extract, and I think the high amount of witch hazel in this product compared to the Serious one may have been too irritating. Using it around my eyes caused a lot of stinging, and my chin area got kind of bumpy and irritated - not full-on acne, but just uneven texture. Even after using a soothing pack at night and the cicabalm, when I used the toner in the morning, the irritation would come back. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ The Serious product had a lower amount of witch hazel and didn't have the bitter orange, so I think that's why my skin reacted this way. I really wish Serious would bring back their Korean products... I want to use the Unscented one again.
TipFor those of you who aren't as sensitive to citrus or high amounts of witch hazel, this product might work well - it can help tighten pores and leave your skin feeling refreshed. Just be sure to use it thoroughly with the 7-skin method for maximum moisture!

And I also like that it's a lightweight, uncluttered bottle. The cost-effectiveness is also good. You can buy it for around 10,000 won for 510ml online. And it's the same full ingredients as the famous red-capped toner, with only the order of aloe vera juice and glycerin being different. This product has a larger volume and is more affordable, so those using that product should try this one too. :) I also liked that the formula is watery. I can't use products with oiliness, whether toners or creams, as I used the Laneige Cream Skin for two days and it was so itchy that I couldn't use it. But this one just performs the role of a toner cleanly, so it was the product I was looking for.
ConsThe opening is too big, so you have to dispense it into another container to use it.ㅜㅜ Otherwise, it will just pour out and flood your palm or cotton pads. The ingredients were clean, which was good, but since it's a sebum-controlling toner for oily skin, it didn't work for me.ㅜㅜ I was using it well, but after more than a week, my face started to feel irritated. That's because I have a sensitive skin type that can't even use cleansing foam, and I have a dry skin type that doesn't even leave a drop of oil on blotting paper.. This product just didn't suit me, so I took off one star. It seems this is just because I'm an overly sensitive and dry-skinned person.ㅜㅜ I wanted to settle with this product because of the good cost-effectiveness, but it's such a pity.ㅜㅜ But considering that even I, an overly sensitive person, reacted to it within a week despite consistently using Dokdo + Moisturizing Toner twice a day, it seems to be a relatively mild product. Oh, and there's a slight alcohol scent when you apply it, but it doesn't linger after application. So it wasn't a problem for me, but those sensitive to fragrance should take note.
TipTransferring it to a spray bottle made it much more convenient to use! And I mixed in some jojoba oil that I had at home. Before, I used to mix it with saline solution, but after doing the math, I found that it's even more affordable than using saline solution.

It is usually more sensitive than normal sensitive skin. The advantages of this product are: 1. The ingredients are relatively mild. 2. It is non-oily and refreshing. 3. The amount is generous. 4. It is faithful to the basic role of a toner. When I first applied it, I thought it had more moisture compared to the watery texture, but it seems to be a product that is faithful to its role as a toner. The moisture does not last long and evaporates quickly. Considering that functional cosmetics have a higher possibility of causing trouble, this product may be worth trying even for acne-prone skin.
Cons1. The packaging needs improvement. The toner can easily pour out if you're not careful. It's better to use with a thick cotton pad. 2. It stings a little. It stings slightly. The next day, I felt like my pores had opened up. It seems to have a disinfecting effect, but as a sensitive person, I think using it as a daily product is not suitable, and using it two to three times a week would be more appropriate.
Tip* Adjusting the frequency of use according to your skin type will be good for maintaining skin health. * Although it does not maintain moisture, since you do not expect moisturizing properties from a toner, you can supplement it with other products.
