Two years ago, due to my ignorance, I used cleansing oil twice a day, along with regular foam and a facial brush, in the hopes of improving my skin. As a result, my healthy skin barrier was completely destroyed. Acne that had been dormant for 30 years resurfaced on my forehead, and I developed allergic reactions on my cheeks. Instead of pimples or blemishes, I started experiencing itchy and stinging round bumps. I tried to go back to basics, using just water in the morning and a mildly acidic foam at night. I also diligently researched and discovered this toner product, which is said to be safe even for pregnant women and contains ceramides (ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier). After using it for 2 years, I deeply regret not discovering this wonderful product sooner. Even though it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, skincare products can still be harsh on the skin, so it's difficult to find the perfect match. This product, however, is very suitable for highly sensitive skin.
Cons
1. Once it's a little more than half empty, it becomes difficult to dispense the product, and you have to keep the bottle upright to use it. 2. Compared to other toners, this product is on the pricier side. 3. The brand doesn't seem to do much advertising. It's mostly known among enthusiasts, and I wish the company would promote it more. I'm worried it might be discontinued due to low sales, and as a regular consumer, I have limited ability to promote it.
Tip
For extremely dry skin types, don't try to address the dryness solely with moisturizing creams or hydrating creams. While you can certainly use those (I use both, depending on my skin's condition), the key to addressing internal dryness is the toner. After applying the toner, make sure to fully absorb it by pumping it twice and allowing it to fully soak into your face. Repeat this process a couple of times, but don't overdo it, as it can be counterproductive. Use the toner according to your skin's needs.

I searched for pregnancy toners and tried the one recommended by Director Pai, and it's gentle.
Cons
It's an FW toner, but I'm using it in the summer... ㅠㅠ It's too heavy to use in the summer.

Expiration date: 21.09.25 ~ I've used it a little over half so far, and I'm still using it. Usage: After cleansing, pump twice and gently apply. You'll need to follow up with a moisturizer or cream afterwards! Advantage 1. Gentle The ingredients are simple and mild, and there was no irritation or trouble when using it. I have very sensitive and delicate skin, but in the 3 months I've been using it, I haven't had any irritation or trouble at all! I'm very satisfied with this aspect! Even though it's gentle and suits me well, products this non-irritating are quite rare, so I might be able to use this forever if it also works well in the summer. It's perfect as the first step after cleansing, before applying the next product. Advantage 2. Moisturizing There's hardly any oiliness, and I feel more of a moisture sensation. In my experience, it's about a 9:1 ratio? But the oiliness is more like a subtle nourishing feeling rather than actual oil. Anyway, it's not an overly heavy product for fall/winter, just a reliable toner, so I think it could be used in the summer as well, as long as you don't have an oily skin type. But it's not as light as water either!! There's a slight slip when you apply it. It absorbs quickly and well.
Cons
Disadvantage 1. Pumping At first I didn't notice, but after using a little over half, it doesn't come out as easily. It's not super inconvenient, but I personally think a jar would be better.
Tip
It's not like a cream-toner, it's a proper toner. You'll need to apply a moisturizer right after using it.

The skin has a slightly thinner consistency than a runny nose, and it feels moisturizing and soothing. Most importantly, it is recommended as a pregnancy-safe product, so you can use it with confidence as the ingredients are gentle.
Cons
The price is a bit on the higher side, and when the container is about a third full, the contents start to come out less smoothly when tilted.

I was looking for a good moisturizer for my sensitive skin and ended up trying this one. I found it on Hwahae and was happy to see that it doesn't contain any irritating ingredients. ❤️There are two toners to choose from, and I selected the Paul Winter Toner. The Costaler website has a questionnaire that helps you find the right product for your skin type, and that's how I ended up with the Paul Winter Toner. ❤️The non-sticky formula makes it easy to use even in the summer. ❤️I'm also sensitive to scents, but this product doesn't have a strong or overpowering fragrance, so I was able to use it without any issues. ❤️I ordered the sample kit, and although it was initially missing, the customer service was very helpful and promptly sent it to me. They were truly wonderful. ❤️The pump dispenser is great because you don't have to pat it on multiple times. ❤️This is a choice you won't regret!
Cons
I didn't have any disappointments. I usually fail when buying skincare products, but this one was a success, and I'm so happy about it.
Tip
👍Many people like to apply toner with a cotton pad, and I think that works well with this product too. I usually just apply it directly, but for important occasions or when I'm wearing makeup, I find that using a cotton pad helps it sink in better and makes my skin feel even more hydrated.

The formula is not as runny as flowing water, but has a slight viscosity. It is not suitable for using cotton pads, so I apply it directly to my skin with my hands. My skin feels comfortable and applies smoothly :-) It doesn't have any major functional roles, but it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients for the skin, and it helps my skin better absorb other skincare products after cleansing or before makeup. It seems to serve as a solid base for my sensitive skin, and I've been using it well without any issues.
Cons
The scent is somewhat reminiscent of seeds? It has a very natural, eco-friendly scent, which I personally don't mind, but it may be perceived differently by others :)
Tip
For those with dry skin who find this toner a bit drying, mixing in a small amount of facial oil and gently patting it onto the face can be helpful, especially in the winter!
