Before using 1,2 After using 3,4 The reason I started using the toner was the dryness and exfoliation that occurred in the winter. My skin was dry inside but oily in areas like my nose, and it was generally uneven. After shaking and mixing the toner, I applied it to a cotton pad and wiped it on, and the flaky skin that used to come off when applying makeup disappeared, the burning sensation reduced significantly, and the formula itself was not greasy, so it was easy to use on the oily parts as well.
Cons
It seems there was nothing in particular. The skin texture has improved significantly, and I cannot find any shortcomings.
Tip
It seems important to use it consistently. At first, I used it every 2-3 days, but now I use it daily and my skin seems to have improved since using it daily.

I have atopic, dry skin and get skin inflammation every season change, so I've been using dermatological medicines. Since I'm very sensitive and my skin gets itchy and red right away if I use the wrong cosmetics, I've been too afraid to try exfoliating products. They say the skin inflammation that comes up during the seasonal changes can happen if the exfoliation isn't done properly, so I've tried various products. As I usually trust department store products, I decided to give it a try. Miraculously, my skin has calmed down. It doesn't feel irritating or red during the exfoliation, but rather gently cares for my skin. I've found my holy grail product! My skin has become smooth and supple, and the inflammation hasn't come up. It's even moisturizing, giving me a sense of stability.
Cons
There are no downsides at all. The intelligent ingredients may seem heavy, but it actually helps balance the oil and moisture, so I would recommend giving it a try.
Tip
Since there are exfoliating ingredients, I gently wipe it off at night using a cotton pad with a generous amount, taking care not to apply too much pressure. You should soak the cotton pad thoroughly to avoid irritation. If you use a small amount of cotton pad, thinking you're saving it, your face will get extremely irritated. Haha

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.
