Pros
I bought this product when I saw it on sale at Lohbs. I was curious about this first essence, as I heard it's good for gentle exfoliation without irritation. At first, I didn't feel much, but when I don't use it, my skin feels a bit rough. I've been using this toner morning and night, and it's the only one I've tried. My skin doesn't feel tight, and it seems to help the absorption of the next products. I thought it was just an average product, but I've already used up two bottles...ㅎ (Since I've used up two bottles, I'll switch to the Sikreet Key one) Sikreet Key is really doing a great job!
Cons
The scent is strange. Ugh, the fragrance is too strong, so I don't use it on my nose area ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Be careful around the nose area, avoid the nose area.
Tip
Soak a cotton pad generously and gently wipe it over your skin twice. Gently pat, without applying too much pressure, and it seems to help regulate the sebum as well.

Pros
The affordable feel of SK2? The absorbing sensation felt great~ It seemed to work well when I used it for a while. No breakouts either.
Cons
The fermented scent..? Anyway, the scent was a bit disappointing at first.

Pros
I have been using this product for about 1-2 years. It is grease-free, making it suitable for oily skin, and I have noticed a whitening effect. It is also more affordable than the original cosmetic brands, and it applies well after cleansing when the skin is dry.
Cons
The moisturizing power is not great. Depending on the product, there may be a strong alcohol-like or fermented smell.
Tip
Use this product to soothe the dryness after cleansing, and then use an electric shaver to shave and a skin toner to refine the skin texture.

Pros
I bought it because it was said to have a good price and clean ingredients. I used it after using a product from another company, and there was no noticeable difference. ^^ Since it's affordable, I think it will be convenient to continue using it.
Cons
The price is affordable, but the smell of alcohol was too strong, making me worry if it might have gone bad. Honestly, the product is fine, but the unpleasant smell makes me want to stay away from it.

Pros
I was able to receive and use a 30ml large sample at the Myeongdong store.
Cons
However, it seems like there was a bit too much ethanol in it, as the moment I applied it to my face, a strong alcohol smell immediately emerged and it evaporated extremely quickly. I tried the rose thing, but the rose fragrance was nowhere to be found. Since I have very dry skin, it didn't suit my skin type at all, so I don't plan to use it anymore.
Tip
I recommend purchasing it based on the positive reviews you've seen. I don't have any tips to share. I'm sorry, Secret Key ㅠㅠ

Pros
I was able to purchase it at a really affordable price. It's gentle and good. There's no trouble or anything like that, and since I'm using a sebum toner, I feel like the moisturizing is also decent enough. I'm glad I switched to this.
Cons
There's nothing special about it. It doesn't have a nice fragrance or anything strong like that. It's kind of unscented, but there is some sort of smell to it, I don't know what it is. It's just average.

Pros
It was great - it moisturized well and was quickly absorbed.
Cons
The fragrance was not very good, and I'm not sure if it had any whitening effects.

Pros
I actually saw results in skin brightening. I felt that my uneven acne scars became lighter.
Cons
The smell is ㅠㅠ I used it for a long time but I couldn't get used to it. Of course, adding fragrance would increase the chemical ingredients.
Tip
In the morning, I soak a cotton pad generously and wipe my face, then split it in half and briefly apply the inner side under my eyes.

Pros
I've been using this product regularly. It's great as a basic starter. The price is affordable, and it gives a sense of organization before applying skincare. I've been repurchasing and using it for over a year.
Cons
The alcohol? The fragrance is a bit disappointing. I wish it had a slightly refreshing scent.

Pros
It seemed quite nice at such a very affordable price.
Cons
The fragrance is not great :( It's a watery formula so it spreads easily, feels like it'll be used up quickly.
Tip
It's also not bad to just use an appropriate amount on the palm of your hand without always having to apply it with a cotton pad.
