There's nothing I dislike about it. Overall, it's great. However, it might not suit everyone, so make sure to carefully check the ingredients before purchasing.

It's hydrating and gentle on my sensitive skin. The fragrance is pleasant, and it doesn't irritate my blemishes. I've been using this toner exclusively for over 6 years now!

더마 릴리프 밸런싱 스킨

In the summer, using body lotion can feel heavy. It is used for the body, but not for the face.

It was irritating. After using it, it was difficult to calm down the breakout that came up. It was written as non-irritating, but it actually made it reddish and felt irritating. I used it three or four times and stopped. I bought two, and it's a waste of money.

The product has good spreadability. It's not completely watery, but has a slight viscosity. The narrow opening allows for controlled dispensing, which is nice.

💦Sometimes I wish I could use it like a pad pack, soaking thin cotton pads and placing them on my face, but the texture doesn't seem suitable for that. Also, given that the quantity isn't that generous, it feels too precious to use that way :(

‼Honest review from my own purchase‼

Reviewer's skin type: Combination dehydrated skin, prone to redness, lots of blemishes and scars, no regular dermatologist visits

🔥Overall impression
Highly recommended if you're looking for a non-irritating skin that leaves a plump finish👍
If you're after a pad pack-type product, you might want to look elsewhere!

🍀Texture
As a toner nomad, I've tried various skin toners, and this one has a slightly thicker consistency compared to typical ones!!
It has a weak viscosity while still being fluid, so after application, it doesn't just evaporate like water. Instead, it leaves your skin feeling pleasantly plump :)
As someone with severe deep dryness and combination dehydrated skin, I really appreciated this aspect ^^

🍀Irritation and blemishes
No irritation during use and no additional blemishes appeared afterward!

🍀Lasting hydration
I'm not sure if I tend to apply generously, but the hydration lasted quite a while. Especially when I get periodic breakouts and use pharmacy products, I only use this Acnes skin along with pharmacy ointments (without other ampoules, serums, or creams), and it works fine.

🍀Effect on acne
To be honest, using this product alone didn't dramatically reduce existing acne or take care of dead skin cells ^^ I started using it as the most basic skincare step when my face would suddenly break out. I'm definitely satisfied that it causes no irritation and doesn't lead to any blemishes while using it, so I continue to use it!

🍀Lid
This was a surprisingly impressive part - as you can see in the photo, the hole is quite small, and the lid fits perfectly. Without any special precautions, I took it on a trip laying down, and it didn't leak at all!!! Usually, toners or skins would spill all over the bag in that situation ^^^
However, it takes some strength to open the lid (especially at first!). I even scratched my hand once while trying to open it... :(

🍀Convenience
Personally, I've never seen such a convenient skin! After dealing with toners and skins that pour out too much and are hard to control, meeting this friend has really made life easier 😁
If you don't apply pressure, it drips drop by drop, and if you gently squeeze the soft container, you can dispense just the amount you want. (I'm so glad it doesn't gush out!)

🍀Scent
I can't describe the specific scent, but it's not too strong, so it shouldn't be polarizing.

I'm not sure if it's actually good for acne-prone skin.

It absorbs well and seemed to be fine even for my sensitive skin.

- No need to use cotton or pads. Just apply it with clean fingers. - You don't have to apply it all over your face. Just use it selectively on areas that need hydration, soothing, or dead skin cell management.

The effects don't last very long. However, dry skin tends to feel parched no matter what cosmetics you use.

It absorbs well without feeling sticky. The hydration leaves your skin feeling moisturized. It's not too rich and has no added fragrances. It contains propolis, madecassoside, panthenol, and AHA ingredients. I applied it around my eyes where the skin barrier was weakened, and I didn't feel any itching or tingling. The moisturizing formula suggests that with long-term use, it could help improve skin texture. It seems to gently manage dead skin cells too. Being gentle, it's great for oily, super sensitive skin, combination dehydrated skin, or any areas needing hydration. I tried a sample during a Mentholatum event at a Beautiful Store and liked it enough to buy. I'm satisfied with choosing this good product.

Despite containing many soothing ingredients, I didn't notice any calming effects!

Absorbs well! It feels smooth, similar to a regular toner. Nothing particularly special, but nothing bad either!

Texture: Although it's labeled as a skin toner, you might as well consider it an essence! It's not as light as a typical toner, so it would be great for winter use.

Absorption: Since the texture is more like an essence, it doesn't absorb instantly, but it's not overly slow either.

Recommended skin types: Dry and combination
I have oily skin, and while the texture was a bit rich, it wasn't unusable - I actually liked it!

Leaves the face feeling sticky. Experienced a warming sensation after use, so I switched to a different mask

The liquid texture feels slightly moisturizing

When applied, it causes more blemishes and makes skin extremely oily. It absolutely doesn't calm acne at all.

It absorbs well, which is great. Despite seeming heavy, it feels light on the skin. The product comes in a generous amount.

I definitely ordered this product, but a completely different one arrived. While it's from the same brand and has somewhat similar ingredients as a toner, please double-check the products before shipping them out. I've already used up my toner and don't have time to return this, so I'll reluctantly try using it. However, if it doesn't suit my skin, I'll be really upset. I'll just be wasting money and have to buy a new one. From now on, I think it's better to buy directly from Olive Young.

I used this product effectively for calming my skin when I had a lot of acne before! The calamine ingredient helps control sebum production.

After use, there's a slight burning sensation on the skin. Those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid this product.

It absorbs well, provides decent hydration, and has good moisturizing properties. The fragrance is lovely.

Like others have mentioned, it might be best used on a cotton pad for toning or applied before bed after evening cleansing. If you try to apply makeup over it, your base products will pill up during application.

- I'm not sure if it's as effective for acne-prone skin as other cica or derma care products (it's just okay)
- If you keep rubbing or patting it in, it eventually pills up (due to its viscosity, it seems to react with the friction between your hands and skin as it dries)

- The scent is pleasant (not overpowering, but fresh and crisp)
- It's not completely watery, but has a slight viscosity that allows for easy application and leaves the skin feeling hydrated

There is a slight stickiness that remains... It can sometimes cause makeup to smear...

The main advantage seems to be that it is not irritating to the skin... It is generally quickly absorbed and does not have an unpleasant fragrance.
