I couldn't use just any toner. But this toner's soothing effect is absolutely amazing! Personally, after extracting blemishes, I'd soak a thin cotton pad with this toner and use it as a 5-10 minute mask. It quickly reduced swelling and left my skin feeling much more hydrated.
ConsThe consistency is slightly mucus-like, so it might feel a bit heavy rather than giving a clean, water-like sensation.

Provides adequate hydration. Reasonably priced when on sale. Can't think of any other notable benefits.
ConsI didn't see any improvement in my blemishes. If anything, my skin seemed to get worse. While it's supposed to be moisturizing, it wasn't the kind of hydration I prefer. It felt heavy on my skin, so I stopped using it. Many people like it, but skincare is really a case-by-case thing...

But after using this, it tackled my deep dryness, making my skin smooth and supple.
ConsHmm... It feels a bit heavy when applied and absorbs slowly. For those with combination dehydrated skin, it might work better if used as an exfoliating toner.
TipThree cheers for this product!

No noticeable scent.
ConsThe thick texture actually hinders quick absorption. It feels like it only moisturizes the surface. Every time I use this, I wake up with small sebum bumps the next day. It doesn't even solve deep dryness issues. It just leaves an uncomfortable, unabsorbed feeling on the skin.
TipMake sure to try a sample first.

It's fragrance-free and has a runny texture compared to regular toners, which makes it feel more hydrating somehow. The packaging and case are both beautiful, and the amount is just right. When I apply makeup after using this, it goes on even better. But what I love most is that it's unscented - it's so refreshing to use after a shower!
ConsThe small opening is a bit frustrating. Even when you tap it, the product doesn't come out easily, which can be a bit annoying.
TipDon't use too much - just apply a moderate amount and gently massage it into your face for best results.

However, it feels less sticky when applied to the skin. @Absorbs well: Excellent absorption! For a runny toner, it absorbs well without sitting on top of the skin. @Hydration: Perhaps due to its good absorption, it feels slightly less hydrating. However, it's great for layering multiple times. @Scent: It's practically unscented, with almost no detectable fragrance. @Recommended skin type: Given its absorption, even oily skin types could use it comfortably. As someone with dry skin, I found the hydration slightly lacking, so I layered it multiple times and followed up with a cream for extra care.
Cons@As someone with dry skin, I feel the hydration is a bit lacking. However, it should be fine to use in spring, summer, and fall. @When dispensing from the bottle, it comes out in small drops, which can be frustrating. Many people have pointed out issues with the bottle opening, and I agree. It's a bit inconvenient to use.
TipAs a gentle toner, I used it generously on cotton pads to soothe my skin when it became red and irritated during travel. It was surprisingly effective - I recommend it!

It's not quite a watery toner, nor a full-on slimy one, but somewhere in between. I use it like a light essence after my Dokdo toner. While you can't expect dramatic changes from a toner alone, it pairs well with the cica gel I've been using. Surprisingly, it absorbs quickly despite its texture, making it perfect for combination dehydrated skin during transitional seasons when a slimy toner feels too heavy, but the Dokdo alone isn't quite enough.
ConsFirst, second, and third issue: the packaging. I understand the choice of an opaque bottle to match the other products in the cica line, but it's frustrating not knowing how much product is left. The bottle is also quite heavy overall. More importantly, as many others have pointed out, the opening is problematic. It's difficult to control the amount dispensed, and the cap often flies off when opened. Without improvements to the packaging, I probably wouldn't purchase this with my own money. (This review is based on my experience using it until today as part of the Hwahae Testers program. I'll add more thoughts after finishing the entire bottle.)
TipIt works great as a quick mask pack when applied with cotton pads like Silcot. My daily skincare routine on weekdays consists of cleansing, volcanic stick, Dokdo toner, this cica skin, cica gel, and moisturizer. The combination seems to work well together. The volcanic and cica line pairing appears to be a good match!

If it were a product I'd bought myself, I might have posted a review after just 3-4 days. But I wanted to use it longer to give a more thorough review, hence the delay. 1. Texture The texture is fantastic. Personally, I prefer water-based exfoliating toners. This one has a slightly runny consistency, but it absorbs well into the skin. For its texture, it seems to absorb faster than expected. 2. Gentle It moisturizes gently. I have sensitive combination dehydrated skin, and other toners often cause burning or tingling. However, this product hydrates my skin without any irritation, even with my redness-prone skin. I usually wipe off products that cause a burning sensation, but I didn't experience that with this toner. (So far, no breakouts either.) Overall, this toner seems perfect for combination dehydrated skin in winter. While I love exfoliating toners, in winter you want something more hydrating, right? This fits the bill. I have redness and small bumps, and after using it for just under two weeks, my redness seems noticeably reduced. (Of course, individual results may vary, and I haven't seen much effect on the bumps yet. Might need more time.) The hydration is impressive. I apply two layers before bed, followed by a moisturizer, and wake up with comfortable skin.
ConsThe biggest downside is definitely the packaging. Personally, I prefer pump bottles. Opening the cap is a hassle, and controlling the amount is tricky... (If too much comes out, I end up applying it down to my neck, which is a bit annoying.) Other than that, I don't have any major complaints. It's a solid product! If I use up this toner over the winter, I'd consider repurchasing it. Oh, and I tried applying up to three layers, but that felt like too much for me. It felt a bit heavy. Two layers seem to be the sweet spot.
