Though it's liquid, it has a slightly rich texture. It didn't leave my skin feeling dry, which I really appreciated.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. It's great and doesn't cause any blemishes. The only thing I'd change is the plastic packaging.
TipIt's perfect for the 7-skin method.

So I tried this lighter toner, which worked great as a basic hydrating step. Now that autumn's here and my skin feels drier, I've found it works wonderfully as a toner mask when I soak a cotton pad generously and apply it to my face.
ConsWhile it's fine on most areas, it stings a bit when applied to the philtrum, though this sensation subsides after a while. The bottle design is problematic - it spills excessively when used directly, so transferring it to an empty container is necessary. Although I don't have extremely dry skin, I definitely notice more dryness compared to summer, making this toner more suitable for me during the warmer months only.
TipIt's best to transfer the product to an empty bottle for easier use. For those with dry skin, using it as a toner mask can be particularly beneficial.

It seems to contain various moisturizing ingredients. As someone with dry skin who usually needs to apply regular hydrating toners two or three times to avoid dryness and tightness after absorption, I was surprised that this toner left my skin feeling comfortable without any tightness after just one application. The texture is slightly similar to that popular large-volume ampoule, but while that one is sticky and slippery, this has a somewhat fresher feel.
ConsAlthough it's unscented, the lack of fragrance is unpleasant. Unlike other fragrance-free products that still have a slight scent from their ingredients, this one has a somewhat musty smell. Also, after using it with a cotton pad, the pad becomes stiff. Update 20190920: Occasionally, I felt a strange burning sensation on my face, as if menthol or mint had been sprinkled on it. This was especially noticeable around my eyes and lips, making me suspect it might be causing irritation. After using only this product, my face would feel hot and slightly swollen, so I stopped using it. Realizing this was the cause, I tried to wash off any residue, but my skin was already so irritated that even water felt burning. There must be an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin. It's a shame because I liked the texture and moisturizing effect.

Heavy products like runny essences or creams just make my face oily without addressing the tightness. That's why I usually opt for gentle toners and do the layering technique, but I still couldn't find anything truly satisfying. The Doctor Toner seemed to work best, but then I tried this product, and it significantly reduced my skin's deep dryness! If I don't use it in the morning, my face feels tight as soon as I get to work. I've decided this is my holy grail skincare product! Less deep dryness must mean my skin barrier is improving, right? Before using this, my skin was a bit sensitive and prone to redness, but with consistent use, it feels so much calmer. If you're like me and can't solve your deep dryness issues with regular skincare or layering techniques, I highly recommend giving this a try!
ConsSince I mainly use gentle products for layering due to deep dryness, I thought it would be nice if it came in a spray format for easy application. But I suppose the current formulation and packaging are what work best for the product. Other than that, I don't have any complaints!
TipI transfer small amounts into a mini spray bottle and use it for layering. Usually, with other toners, I need to apply five to seven layers, but with this, three layers are enough. There's still a bit of tightness after two layers, but three seems to do the trick. I stick to three layers to avoid overloading my skin. Just spray and pat it in!

Is there anything left to say? It's not just an exfoliating toner, but seems to have quite good hydrating power.
ConsAs someone who uses toners for sebum control and as a second cleanse, this product really doesn't suit me. It feels almost like glycerin... Either it's clogging my pores or the ingredients don't agree with me, because I actually developed blemishes.

Absorbs well into the skin. Excellent hydration. Generous amount. Texture has a slight viscosity. Fragrance-free. No eye irritation. Non-irritating. Great for layering.
ConsFor combination skin, it feels a bit heavy and stuffy when applied directly with hands. Using a cotton pad makes it feel somewhat lighter. It's a bit heavy for midsummer, but on the bright side, you might not need a separate essence. The container opening is inconvenient to use. It's prone to spilling when dispensing. Be careful with the amount.
TipLayering it a few times gives an essence-like effect. Great for hydration.

It's not just a watery product, but has a bit of richness too. Layering this toner three times is enough to skip moisturizer or emulsion. 2) Gentle and non-irritating. Not sure if it balances pH as the name suggests, but even on days when I've over-cleansed, this doesn't sting or itch. I layer it 2-3 times daily as an exfoliating toner. It definitely calms the skin, absorbs well, and gives a subtle Inner Glow that makes me want to get closer to the mirror. It came as a gift with a sunscreen purchase and I fell in love. Great value for the volume, and it suits my sensitive skin well. I'm buying it separately for my sister whose skin has become sensitive lately. It's really good! (Updated 8/9/2019) After double cleansing with oil and foam cleansers to remove mineral sunscreen, using this toner causes irritation. It starts around the lips and spreads to the whole face, feeling tingly. It's similar to the numbness from anesthetic cream before a dermatology procedure. As this happens every evening after cleansing, I've stopped using it. With just under half a bottle left, I'll probably use it on my arms and legs.
ConsSince I only expect toners to refine skin texture, I didn't notice any downsides. The hydration is good too, so nothing really...
TipAfter cleansing, I don't use a towel. I just lightly pat with White Rabbit cotton pads, then flip them over and pat on this toner as an exfoliating toner. Follow with a hydrating toner for skin texture refinement - they work well together. When using this product, I hardly use my Sidmool toner anymore. Also, using rich products on top of this can be too much. I stick to water-based moisturizers and just add one drop of face oil, rubbed between palms and pressed into skin, for amazing hydration.

Provides ample hydration - Perfect for seasonal transitions. It has a runny, essence-like texture. 2. Gentle ingredients - There's a slight redness right after application, but after using it for over two weeks, I noticed no blemishes and my skin actually felt more comfortable. Some stubborn whiteheads naturally disappeared. I think it's thanks to the well-balanced pH. 2. Can be used as an exfoliating toner and for neck care - Maximizes hydration when used not just on the face, but also on the neck and upper body. 3. ❗💯 Spot treatment mask possible even on busy mornings - As it's a toner with great ingredients that boost hydration, saturating a cotton pad and placing it on dry areas like between the eyebrows and on the cheeks makes makeup application flawless.
Cons1. Slightly disappointing as an exfoliating toner - The runny texture makes it a bit lacking as an exfoliating toner. Nevertheless, I use it to wipe my face and... haha, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, but I also use it on my neck, behind the ears, and even in the underarm area. In summer, rather than applying emulsions, using an exfoliating toner like this for thorough cleansing provides great hydration.
TipAfter showering in the morning and applying my base skincare, I soak cotton pads with this product and place them on both cheeks and between my eyebrows. While the product absorbs, I dry my hair and get dressed. Then I remove the cotton pads and apply makeup. My makeup goes on incredibly well!

I've been using it without any blemishes appearing.
ConsWhen dispensing onto my palm and closing the lid, a bit of the product tends to drip and sometimes even splashes into the air.
TipIt's great to soak a cotton pad with this and place it on your face when you're experiencing a burning sensation.

It's my first time trying an acidic toner, and I'm kicking myself for not discovering it sooner... It seems like acidic products are definitely better for my skin. I've been using it without any issues, and applying it with a cotton pad has been great for the dry spring weather!
ConsWhile I'm using it without any problems, it's just so... average that I don't really have any intention of repurchasing.
TipThe toner is on the sticky side, so don't apply it with your bare hands - use a cotton pad instead! I once applied it with my hands when I was in a rush, and my hands felt so sticky that I had to wipe them off before leaving, even though I was already running late.
