1,2 Before use photos 3,4 After use photos I started using this toner to combat winter dryness and visible dead skin cells. My skin was dehydrated underneath, but oily in areas like the nose, generally combination dehydrated skin. After shaking the toner and applying it with a cotton pad, wiping gently, the dead skin cells that used to pill under makeup disappeared, and the burning sensation reduced significantly. The lightweight formula, not being greasy, was perfect for use even on oily areas.
Cons
There wasn't really anything negative to note. My skin texture improved so much that I can't find any downsides.
Tip
Consistency is key! I think it's important to use it regularly. At first, I used it every 2-3 days, but now I use it daily, and I feel my skin has improved even more with daily use.

As someone with atopic dermatitis and extremely dry skin, I've been a regular at the dermatologist every season change, constantly using prescribed medications. My skin is so sensitive that using the wrong cosmetics immediately causes itching and redness, which made me too scared to try any exfoliating products. I heard that seasonal skin flare-ups could be due to improper dead skin cell management, so after researching various products, I decided to try this one from a department store brand I trust. Amazingly, it calmed my skin down like magic! It exfoliates gently without any irritation - no stinging, no redness, just soft and smooth skin. I've found my holy grail! My skin feels silky, and I haven't had any flare-ups. It's even moisturizing, giving me a sense of comfort and relief.
Cons
There's absolutely nothing I dislike about this product. Some people with oily skin might think it's too heavy, but I actually feel it helps balance oil and moisture. I think it's worth trying even for those with oily skin.
Tip
Since it contains exfoliating ingredients, I was worried about potential irritation. So, I use it as an exfoliating toner in the evening, applying it gently with a cotton pad soaked generously with the product. Make sure to use plenty on the cotton pad to avoid irritation. If you try to save product by using less, it can actually irritate your face a lot!

The skin becomes smooth, and when used with a gentle cotton pad, it does not cause much irritation and the skin texture seems to become cleaner.
Cons
Every time I use it, I feel that the scent is not very good. The fragrance is quite strong and uncomfortable.
Tip
I've tried using cotton pads from different brands, and the multi-layered pure cotton ones seem to be the least irritating! Using thin cotton pads for cleansing was too rough, and it actually made my skin turn red instead.

I tried purchasing Kiehl's 1+1 sale this time and I'm using it very well. While many reviews say it's heavy, I don't find it heavy at all since I use it with a cotton pad. And using it with a cotton pad helps with skin texture refinement. It works well for exfoliating and sebum removal. It definitely does its job. I no longer feel the bumpy sebum when touching the nose area, and my nose feels smooth.
Cons
Perhaps because it's dry and cold now, I feel a tightening sensation on my skin after using it. So I have to properly moisturize after using it.
Tip
The instructions say it can be used morning and evening daily, but personally, I find that using it too often makes the area between my cheeks and nose feel a bit stingy. So I'm using it once a day in the evening or every other day.

The skin has an incredibly rich nutrient content, with a texture similar to seolleongtang (Korean beef bone soup) or dwaeji-gukbap (Korean pork rib soup). When applied, it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin surface incredibly supple. This is an ultra-nourishing, highly moisturizing skin. It can be used as an intensive treatment when the skin is severely dehydrated.
Cons
The price is definitely the biggest concern. However, since Kiehl's is almost like a health supplement for those with chronic skin conditions, spending this money and not having to deal with the pain may be worth it. And because the nutrient content is so high, using a lotion on top of this daily could potentially lead to breakouts.

The product was very satisfying as it not only effectively cared for my dead skin, but also left my skin feeling moisturized.
Cons
It may feel a bit stuffy for those with oily skin.

I bought this product after seeing it on a blog. I purchased it along with the calendula toner, but I've already used up the calendula toner, and this is the only one left. I don't use it daily, but rather about once a week on days when I feel like my skin has built up some dead skin cells. The layers separate, so you need to shake it well before using. After shaking, it becomes a milky-white toner. I apply it generously to a cotton pad and gently pat it onto my skin to help dissolve the dead skin cells. It provides both exfoliation and hydration, so I think it would be great for dry skin types like mine, rather than oily skin. There's a good amount of product, so I think it will last me for quite a while.
Cons
The heavy glass bottle... If you drop it, it could fall on your foot... And like all Kiehl's products, the toner is quite pricey. But since it's not a daily product, if you only use it once a week like I do, it should last you about a year. I'm satisfied with it, but I don't think I'll repurchase it.

The unique formulation of mixing skin and essence oil was quite satisfactory for my dry skin.
Cons
For oily or combination skin, it might be too oily and not suitable. The chemical fragrance is noticeable.
Tip
In the winter, I sometimes use it as a skin pack, and the oily feel lasts for a long time, which I enjoy.

The peeling toner is not irritating, not drying, and leaves the skin moisturized.
Cons
After purchasing based on the Dodam's blog, I didn't really feel the exfoliating effects on my combination skin, which doesn't have much visible flakiness (even after makeup).
Tip
I probably won't repurchase this product at this price just for the exfoliating purpose.

As I prepare to make my third purchase, I want to share my thoughts. I've tried similar products before, and despite the higher price, I plan to repurchase this one. My skin is combination, and my acne has flared up due to pregnancy. I'm currently on a cosmetic diet, and I only use this product in the evenings. My routine consists of a milk-based toner, a water-based essence, and a cream. 1. Skin Refinement I use this as my nightly cleansing step, and it's great for my oily T-zone and blackheads/whiteheads. When I wipe it across my face, a yellow residue comes off, which is quite satisfying. 2. Radiance After using this toner, my skin looks noticeably more radiant and refined. This is a benefit I didn't experience with other toners. 3. Hydration While some clarifying toners can be drying, the combination of this toner and cream keeps my skin feeling comfortably moisturized.
Cons
The only downside is the price. It's quite expensive, and even though I only use it in the evenings, it goes through the cotton pads quickly.
