Pros
The formula is not sticky and lightweight, making it easy to apply. I used to have a lot of blackheads, whiteheads, and oily skin, but after using this toner, those issues have definitely decreased, and breakouts don't come up as often. I highly recommend this product!!!
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it. It's a product that I've seen great results from!
Tip
If you use a cotton pad to wipe it off, you'll definitely feel like your dead skin and excess oil are being cleared. However, for those with uneven skin texture or acne, it's better to just gently pat it in rather than wiping, as that will be less irritating and leave your skin looking much smoother!

Pros
The Datdoro is really great. There were no troubles and it seems to have good moisturizing power. It's been quite reliable, so I'm on my fourth or fifth bottle.
Cons
Aside from the price, there's not much I'm unhappy with yet. However, they have sales often, so I'm planning to stock up.

Pros
It's smooth, has good slip, and the volume is generous. While it's good that it's not oily on my oily skin and doesn't cause breakouts, the greasiness doesn't really go away even after application.
Cons
I have oily skin, and even though I applied this, the greasiness just kept coming back. The oil still rises up after application. :(
Tip
It's good to use it with a cotton pad.

Pros
This product seems to be perfect as a toner - it's refreshing yet doesn't feel tight. However, I didn't quite experience the pore-reducing effect as the product name suggests. But I didn't have any major skin troubles while using this. It might be a decent toner for those with combination skin, not too light but not overly heavy either. These days, there are so many great toner options out there, so I wouldn't strongly recommend this, but it's a pretty decent choice to use. I didn't really notice a strong scent, and the ingredients seem gentle. The only thing is that the instructions say to apply it on a cotton pad, which makes me feel like just patting it on with my hands might not work as well.
Cons
Hmm...the cost-effectiveness doesn't seem that great. I finished a whole bottle but didn't really see any significant effects, so it seems like a lightweight toner, but it's a bit pricey for that. However, if you have combination skin and are looking for a lightweight, non-drying toner, this might still be a decent option.
Tip
Well, there are a lot of great toners out there, so I'd recommend doing some research and choosing one that suits your needs best. My friend swears by this, so it seems to be a case-by-case thing.

Pros
I've used this product for almost 3 years and would constantly repurchase it whenever it ran out, as I felt anxious without it. It was always a staple in my inventory, especially during my study abroad days, as it was the product that suited my skin the best. While using this product, I never experienced any major breakouts. For reference, I have oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin! After using it for nearly 3 years, I did try switching to other products out of boredom (Leecosmetic, Yuriskin, Dokdo Toner...), but none of them gave me the 'honey skin' effect like this one did... I purchased this based on recommendations from the Hwahae app and Director Pai's videos, but now I'm in a nightmare of cystic and closed comedone acne!!! My skin barrier has also been severely damaged. They say people foolishly repeat the same mistakes, and that's exactly what I've done. I should have just stuck with the product that works best for my skin. So I'm going back to my one true love, the Polchito Toner. I've already ordered one online!
Cons
The only offline store where I can purchase this product is Lohbs, which is a bit of a bummer.
Tip
Whether it's a popular product, a recommended item, or anything else, the best product is the one that suits your skin the most!

Pros
I've been using this toner for about 9 years. I've been using it consistently from when I had oily skin to now when I have normal skin. It has always suited me well. 1. Non-irritating It's not irritating at all. It's gentle, so it can be used anytime, even when my skin is troubled or sensitive. 2. Doesn't cause breakouts. There was a trend called the '7 Skin Method' where you apply toner multiple times. Some products would cause breakouts if used that way, and some would make makeup wear off faster. But I've never had any breakouts from using this product. 3. Pores, skin texture My pores have significantly reduced. I've tried many products, but I think this toner has also played a role. Most importantly, my skin texture has become smoother. Other toners either don't absorb well, are too rich and sticky, or are drying. But this toner absorbs really well, isn't sticky, and isn't drying - it leaves my skin looking healthy and glowing. It makes my skin feel like young, supple skin.
Cons
1. The price is a bit high. It's not cheap. I'd love to do the 7 Skin Method every day, but the price is a bit steep, so I only use it twice a day, morning and evening. 2. It may be lacking for dry skin. The formula isn't very moisturizing. But even though I get a bit dry in the winter, I just apply it twice then.
Tip
1. It's perfect for the 7 Skin Method It's just right for the 7 Skin Method (though the price isn't quite right for using it that way). It gives my skin a healthy, dewy glow, not a wet, damp feeling. I use this product for the 7 Skin Method on important occasions. It makes my makeup last really well, without any cakiness or issues when I remove my makeup. 2. Wipe with a cotton pad first, then absorb with hands At first, use a cotton pad to remove any residue and impurities. After that, absorb it with your hands - that seems to use a bit less product and leaves my skin feeling more moisturized.
