I don't have any complaints yet. I've been using it with complete satisfaction.

The generous amount is great, allowing for liberal application. It's wonderfully hydrating and feels lovely on the skin.

클래식 토닉

The product has a distinctive scent that might not be ideal for those with sensitive noses.

The ingredients in this Baek Ah Yul product are truly impressive. It's a trustworthy choice. The texture has a slight viscosity, and there's a distinct herbal scent, but it's not overpowering. It absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling hydrated with a nice finish. With consistent use, I think it could lead to noticeable skin improvements.

While the glass bottle is a bit heavy, I actually like it because it gives a luxurious feel.

This toner has a slightly viscous texture. It's wonderfully hydrating, so I enjoyed using it.

There's a slight scent reminiscent of herbal medicine. It might be a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance for some.

I'd recommend this more for spring and fall rather than summer. While the consistency is a bit thick and it absorbs slightly slower, it provides a rich, lasting hydration when applied.

🔥Scent & Glass Bottle
It has an herbal scent that's almost identical to traditional Korean Ssanghwa-tang. The glass bottle makes it heavy, and the product doesn't dispense easily. I'm being extra careful not to drop it in the bathroom.

⚡Texture & Absorption
The consistency is right in between a rich toner and a watery one. It applies with a nourishing feel, but absorbs well into the skin quickly. After a short while, your face feels dry without any stickiness. When I use the Baek-Ah-Yul toner, I notice that the serum I apply afterwards seems to absorb even faster.

⚡Mildly Acidic
It's formulated without purified water, containing only active ingredients. The mildly acidic pH is a plus. I've been using it in winter, and my skin feels more hydrated.

The product is so average that I don't really have any specific complaints.

It's a decent, no-frills toner. I'm using it as an exfoliating toner.

There's nothing particularly bad to mention... Nothing really stands out as a negative...

The ingredients are great and it absorbs well, but I really loved how hydrating it was! The packaging is sleek too, making it a perfect gift option.

The container is quite heavy and made of glass, so I'm using it very carefully to avoid breaking it.

At first glance, I thought it was just a clear toner, but when I opened the cap, I was pleasantly surprised! True to its herbal nature, it has a slight brownish tint. The essence-like texture is great as it doesn't dry out quickly on the skin.

The scent is not pleasant... It has a traditional herbal fragrance... It would be fine if it were subtle, but it's overwhelmingly strong when you open the lid. Unfortunately, the other positive aspects are overshadowed by the scent...

The texture has a slightly viscous feel when it comes out. When applied, it wraps the skin with moisture, making it great for light hydration during winter months.

There's nothing particularly disappointing about this product. It's a solid, reliable choice for everyday use.

It does a great job of replenishing skin hydration. I love that I can apply multiple layers to really boost moisture levels.

With so many good and affordable toners flooding the market these days, why spend money on a product like this? Here's a pro tip: if you're like me and don't enjoy sticky textures and heavy containers, it's best to skip this purchase.

1. The distinctive herbal scent made me hesitant to apply it before going out. It's like putting traditional shampoo on your face.

2. Due to the fragrance, I applied it every night, but if you use too much, it pills after a short while (this is why it's the worst).

3. The container is unnecessarily large and heavy. I accidentally dropped it from my vanity, and it hit my foot. I thought my toenail would fall off from the severe bruising. (The practicality of the packaging is also terrible)

While the product itself didn't cause any blemishes, it turned out to be the worst toner for my skin

It's difficult to see how much product is left in the bottle. After application, it feels a bit sticky, and if you apply sunscreen and wear a mask, it can cause pilling. This only happens with this toner. As a result, I only use it in the evening. I wouldn't recommend it if you dislike herbal fragrances.

The texture is slightly sticky, more like an essence than a toner. Despite its consistency, it absorbs incredibly quickly. After using it, I felt my skin became a bit more hydrated and found it functionally satisfactory. It has a strong herbal scent, which might be a matter of personal preference. I personally enjoyed it.
