I'm also using the COSRX pads, and I alternate using them for exfoliation depending on my skin condition each day. It helps refine my skin texture before makeup and absorbs nicely, leaving a refreshing feel.
ConsThe lightweight, watery formula would probably suit better in the summer than the current cold winter.
TipIt's also nice to use as a light face mask.

I had previously purchased the COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, and this time I was selected to try the Vitamin C AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner as well. First of all, since it's an AHA/BHA product, it was effective in exfoliating. I don't usually do physical exfoliation, as I've heard it's not good for the skin, but I did see the effects of this product in terms of removing dead skin cells. The cap is also in a pump format, so you don't have to worry about it leaking. I think the product also had a temporary brightening effect, perhaps due to the vitamin content.
ConsHmm, I felt there were quite a few downsides for me. While it did help with smoothing the texture, I personally didn't see a dramatic effect in terms of exfoliation and smoothing. When using it, I would soak a cotton pad and apply it, but I didn't really notice any exceptional results. Also, it felt a bit itchy and irritating for me personally. Is it because I have sensitive skin? It just didn't seem to agree with my skin. Additionally, they recommend applying sunscreen after using this product. For those who don't like layering multiple products, that could be an inconvenience. Personally, I'm not sure if I would repurchase this with my own money.
TipI'd recommend thoroughly soaking a cotton pad with the product and then applying it when using this.

Gentle I used to feel a stinging sensation when using Ahabaha, but that was not the case here. The product is completely non-irritating and gentle. I used it as a cleansing balm. 2. Sufficient moisturizing function I thought it would only exfoliate and not moisturize, but it left my skin feeling hydrated. 3. Gentle and moisturizing, so I can use it freely I used it as a cleansing balm and in the morning instead of pads, and it worked great. 4. Manages dead skin, sebum Now that I think about it, I didn't have any issues with blackheads, dead skin, or oiliness during the time I used it. My skin seemed to stabilize overall.
ConsThere's really nothing I'm unhappy about. I'll likely continue buying and using it. However, I prefer Pha (Pha) ingredients over Ahabaha, so I'd be excited if a Pha Vitamin C skin product came out.
TipWith any cosmetic product, make sure to gently pat it into the skin so it can be absorbed properly!

As a result, it was very effective in treating my closed comedones or sebum-based blackheads. My skin didn't experience any trouble, and it even had a brightening (?) effect on my rough and dull skin.
ConsThe downside is that even though it's a toner, the price is a bit steep, so I'm not sure if I can freely purchase more.
TipSince it contains AHA/BHA ingredients, I'd recommend using it more in the evenings rather than mornings. After cleansing, wipe it off with a thin, lint-free cotton pad. I sometimes use it as an exfoliating mask. Then I apply a generous amount of moisturizer before bed. Letting the dead skin cells settle at night means my skin is better prepared for makeup the next day. Everyone's skin is different, but this is how I personally use it.

Following the usage instructions and applying extra care to the problem areas, the bothersome flakiness and blackheads have reduced.
ConsWhile the flakiness and blackheads have decreased, I've noticed some breakouts on my cheeks and chin. I'm not sure if it's because the product is different from what I was using before, but I'll keep using it to see if it improves.

It can be a hassle to do separate exfoliation with peels or scrubs, but this toner contains AHA and BHA ingredients, so you can use it as a cleansing toner for gentle daily exfoliation - it was great! - I'm not very sensitive, so there was no irritation or stinging. Some vitamin-containing products can be irritating, but this one feels gentle, so it would be good for those who want vitamin-based skin tone care but don't want anything too harsh. - The toner opening is small, so it's a watery type, but it doesn't flow out too much, so it was easy to use.
Cons- It's not very moisturizing, so it's not recommended if you're looking for a moisturizing toner. - This toner alone may not be enough for exfoliation, so you'll need to use other exfoliating products along with it at a reduced frequency.
TipThe vitamin ingredients may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. It's recommended to use a sunscreen when using this toner during the day!

This product's biggest advantage is that it can be used without any irritation. The ability to gently exfoliate is definitely its greatest strength!
ConsOn the flip side of the advantages, as it is gentle and focuses on the basics, it may not feel very effective for those who are looking for immediate and dramatic results.
TipConsistent use is the key!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI used this toner right after cleansing, while my skin was still damp. I soaked a soft cotton pad with the toner and gently patted it onto my skin to smooth out the texture. The toner contains Baha ingredients that help remove residual dead skin cells and sebum, which really improved my skin texture. I used to have trouble with my makeup clinging to dry patches, but after using this toner, my skin looks so much smoother and my makeup applies beautifully. Even though I have thin, sensitive skin, I can use this toner daily without any irritation. The lightweight, watery formula is perfect for applying after cleansing. I also really like how the toner absorbs nicely without leaving a sticky residue. The scent is very faint, almost undetectable, so it should work well even for those sensitive to fragrance. Considering the great results and affordable price, I will definitely repurchase this toner.
ConsI don't have any complaints about this toner so far. I haven't experienced any breakouts or issues using it.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. The ingredients are great. As someone who carefully considers each ingredient when choosing products due to my sensitive skin, I was happy to see that the ingredients are gentle. 2. The usage experience is like a water toner, which is great for wiping. While I was worried that the exfoliating function might be irritating, gently wiping it off with a cotton pad caused no irritation. The toner itself gently exfoliates daily, so I didn't need to use a separate exfoliating product, which was convenient. 3. It's almost fragrance-free. As someone who doesn't prefer strongly scented products, this was a plus for me. 4. The product contains a whitening function, but the effect is not very noticeable. However, I do feel like my complexion has become slightly brighter.
ConsThe price is a bit high. While the product is decent, the price point for a toner is a bit steep. It may be a bit drying for dry skin types.

Before using it, I searched online and found that it's good to use as a cleansing toner, so after receiving the product, I used it as a cleansing toner every day after washing my face. I found it to be quite good for me, so I plan to purchase and try other COSRX toners as well! 1. Exfoliation Care As an AHA-based toner, it definitely gave me a sense of exfoliating and caring for my dead skin. When I used this product, I didn't use a peeling gel, but my skin felt so smooth and any concerns about flaky skin were completely gone. 2. Ingredients I have slightly acne-prone skin that's a bit sensitive, so I'm very particular about the ingredients. This product's ingredients were impeccable, so I was really happy about that. There was absolutely no irritation at all! 3. Skin Texture Refinement Since I used it as a cleansing toner, my skin texture was really well-refined. After using this product, my skin looked better, and the subsequent skincare products I used were absorbed much more effectively.
Cons1. Moisturizing Power The moisturizing power doesn't seem to be that great. It would be fine to use in the summer, but it might not be enough for the winter. In the winter, you might want to use a propolis toner or something similar along with this one.
