With the recent chilly weather, my skin became parched again, so I repurchased this. For me, this toner is a winter essential! Layering it 2-3 times keeps my skin hydrated without feeling tight. It absorbs well without being sticky. It's like my skin is drinking up the moisture! My skin is super sensitive and prone to blemishes if a product doesn't suit me, but this one causes no irritation at all, even when I apply a lot. It feels gentle and comfortable. I've settled on this toner as it doesn't cause any blemishes. It gives a nice glow while providing excellent hydration! I've struggled so much as a skincare nomad, searching for the right toner. Since finding this product, I keep coming back to it. For me, this is the first cost-effective holy grail toner that I've repurchased!
ConsIt can feel a bit heavy in summer. Those with oily skin might find it slightly suffocating. It seems to work best when matched to your skin type. As it's an ampoule toner, it does have a moisturizing quality to it.
TipFor those with sensitive skin, or when you want to hydrate or soothe your skin, try using this as a toner pack by soaking cotton pads generously and applying them to your face. It's non-irritating and gentle, making your skin feel comfortable. For hydration purposes, it works much better than regular sheet masks.

ConsIf you apply too much, it can feel a bit heavy. It's like a film forms on the skin.
TipApply a thin layer in moderate amounts

Being super sensitive, I always prioritize ingredients. I was satisfied with the formula, but noticed it had a slightly thicker consistency than regular water-based toners, which prompted me to buy it. After trying it, I found it's better to apply with hands and let it absorb thoroughly rather than using it as a swipe-on toner with cotton pads. The high hydration level means I can layer a light essence or cream on top without feeling dry, which is great!
ConsWhile I didn't find any particular downsides, those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy to use.
TipMake sure to let it absorb fully when using in the morning! Since it's heavier than water-based toners, I recommend using it in your evening skincare routine.

Thanks to the hyaluronic acid, there's a bit of stickiness, but it's definitely not oiliness. After absorption, your skin feels soft and supple. I used to just apply it normally, but since the bottle seems never-ending, I've started using it as a skin pack. It really helps with deep dryness. ☆ Absorption Due to its texture, it absorbs a tad slowly. It might be challenging to layer multiple times during busy mornings. ☆ Moisturizing For oily areas, this alone is sufficient. However, for the cheeks, it feels a bit light. Since it's slow to absorb, layering multiple times can be tricky, so I moisturize my cheeks separately.
ConsFor those who like to layer their toner multiple times, the absorption might feel a bit heavy.
TipSince the amount barely decreases with morning and evening use, try using it as a skin pack. It truly hydrates from deep within.

ConsAfter applying, I feel a sensation of warmth. While it doesn't cause any blemishes, it doesn't feel refreshing when applied, but rather heavy. The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner, which has similar ingredients and texture, only absorbs a bit slower even with multiple layers, but doesn't make my face feel hot. This one, however, makes my refreshed post-cleansing face feel suddenly warm, which suggests it's not quite compatible with my skin, unfortunately.

I generally prefer formulas that are a bit firm and slightly tacky, and this hyaluronic acid serum fits that description perfectly.
ConsThe absorption is quite slow, so it can feel a bit frustrating when you're in a hurry.

Excels at hydration Lightweight bottle, convenient to use, fragrance-free, and great value for money. When your skin feels tight after applying just cream during seasonal changes, and deep dryness seems to worsen daily, using this once makes your skin feel moisturized. My 50-year-old mother also uses it well before applying serums. 2. Absorbs well, suitable for use before makeup. I use mineral sunscreen, which can dry out my face before applying foundation. In such cases, I lightly wrap a thin layer of this ampoule skin on my face before starting with foundation. It absorbs quickly, so there's no pilling. It also helps the foundation look thinner and more natural, which is great.
Cons1. Not suitable as an exfoliating toner The slippery texture makes it ineffective as an exfoliating toner. It doesn't wipe off well and seems to only irritate the skin. It's better to use it like a serum. 2. Can feel heavy As I have sensitive combination skin, using an exfoliating toner after cleansing is essential morning and night. When I skip the exfoliating toner and apply this directly, it feels heavy and causes blemishes. It's fine when used after an exfoliating toner! If you have skin that feels heavy and breaks out with hyaluronic acid or highly moisturizing toners, you might want to reconsider this product.
TipRecommended for dry skin For oily skin, it's a temporary solution during seasonal changes

I think it's because the cold air and wind weaken my immune system, causing my skin barrier to break down. Even though I have combination dehydrated skin, I always finish with a rich cream. In winter, it's crucial to protect the skin barrier. Of course, I try to lock in hydration in the previous steps. If you don't provide enough moisture, deep dryness worsens, and applying a rich cream only exacerbates combination dehydrated skin. While researching, I heard hyaluronic acid is good for deep dryness. I was debating between a toner or essence, but chose this toner thinking an essence with a bit more oil might be better for winter. The value for money is amazing! 300ml for only 14,900 won - I used it generously and it still lasted 4 months! It effectively combats deep dryness and keeps skin hydrated. Due to hyaluronic acid's nature, it can be slightly sticky, but this toner wasn't too bad. <Rating out of 5 stars> Hydration: 4 stars (It manages deep dryness well, but sometimes feels dry after a while. However, with 3 layers, it's not dry despite being slightly oily!) Oil: 1 star (Feels slightly oily with 3 layers) Scent: 4 stars (Pleasant and subtle, not overpowering) Irritation: None (I'm always scared of skin reactions when changing products, but this was so gentle and worked well) Makeup pilling: 2 stars (If deep dryness is a concern, apply lightly once before makeup. It pills slightly due to the hyaluronic acid's stickiness)
ConsAfter applying 3 layers, I felt a bit of oiliness that made my skin feel heavy. It especially pills a bit before makeup! So I skip toner before makeup and go straight to essence. Other than that, I don't have many complaints. If I had to nitpick, it's so big that I wonder when I'll finish it... it gets a bit tedious. A pro and a con at the same time!
