Light and Refreshing Texture As a complete water-based toner, the texture feels light and refreshing. The formula is not thick or viscous, but rather watery, just like water. 2. Suitable for Cleansing or Application Given the light texture, this toner is suitable for use as a cleansing toner after washing your face. Many people these days enjoy using a cleansing toner. You can use it lightly and gently to wipe away any residue, or simply pat it onto your skin with your hands. While the watery consistency may cause it to drip down your face quickly, you can quickly press it into your skin with your palms. 3. Soothing Skin Mask You can also soak the provided cotton pads in this toner and leave them on your face for a few minutes to experience a soothing skin mask effect. If your skin has become sensitive and flushed from switching skincare products, applying the toner-soaked cotton pads to your cheeks, forehead, and chin can help calm and soothe your skin. The redness and heated sensation will subside.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is not overpowering, but rather subtle. It has a slight sweet scent, though it's not exactly a fruity aroma. The fragrance doesn't seem to be from the ingredients, as there is no indication of artificial fragrances being added. It has a somewhat artificial, almost like a faint, processed food-like scent. While the sweet note is gentle, it's not a particularly pleasant fragrance. However, it's not unpleasant either - the fragrance is just something to be aware of. 2. Product Volume The product volume seems a bit low considering the price point. Especially if using it as a cleansing toner, the amount may feel slightly insufficient. For an 18,000 won toner that doesn't have any special functional claims, one could likely find a more affordable option with a more generous volume. 3. Hydration At first, the toner does feel hydrating. But that initial impression doesn't seem to last. Unless you apply a generous amount and really work it into the skin, it doesn't leave the skin feeling intensely moisturized. As a combination skin type with drier cheeks, I noticed my cheeks and chin felt dehydrated fairly quickly after application.
TipWhile there's no special tip per se, you can simply store the toner in a shaded area and then generously soak the provided cotton pads - almost to the point of saturation. You can then place the soaked cotton pads over your entire face as a quick and easy skin mask. This can be helpful when you don't want to go through the hassle of a full face mask, but still want to get some soothing hydration. In fact, the true gem of this product may be the cotton pads that come with it. They are 3-ply cotton pads that are perfectly separated yet seamlessly integrated. It seems they were designed specifically for use as a skin mask. Normally, when using cotton pads to wipe the face, they can dry out or become unraveled. But these cotton pads maintain their integrity - no matter how much you wipe, they don't fall apart or leave behind any fibers. You can use them to thoroughly cleanse the skin without any unwanted residue. I would even consider purchasing these cotton pads separately, as they are the best I've used so far.
