The Origin toner has mild ingredients and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Some cleansing toners get absorbed quickly or leave a light, powdery finish, but the Origin toner leaves my skin feeling nicely hydrated, which suits me well.
ConsWhen using it with cotton pads, there is a slippery feeling. The cotton pads have a bit of foam left behind, but I'm not sure what ingredient is causing that. Still, it agrees with my skin, so I'm continuing to use it. I wish the slippery ingredient could be removed.
TipWhen using it as a cleansing toner, it's not the type that gets absorbed quickly. So I tried using a thin sponge cotton pad as a toner pack, and it worked well for me. Since it doesn't get absorbed right away, using it as a toner pack didn't make my skin feel dry.

That's why I've been using gentle skin toners, but I still couldn't find a satisfactory product. The Duk-to toner seemed to be the best option, and now that I'm using this product, the tightness has reduced significantly! If I don't use it in the morning, my face starts feeling tight at work right away. I've made this my holy grail basic skincare product! The reduced tightness means my skin barrier has also improved, right? Around the time I started using this, my skin was a bit sensitive and red, but with consistent use, it has calmed down nicely. If you also struggle with tightness that regular basic skincare or toners can't solve, I'd highly recommend trying this product out.
ConsDue to the tightness, I thought a spray-type product would be easy to use, but I guess the concentration and formulation of the product matter, right? Other than that, I don't have any particular complaints.
TipI use this toner by decanting a small amount into a spray bottle and misting it on. While other toners would still leave my skin feeling a bit tight even after 5-7 applications, this one is good after just 3 sprays. I apply it 3 times, stopping at the point where my skin feels comfortable without any tightness or heaviness. Spray, pat, spray!

Absorption is good. Moisturizing power is also good. The amount is generous. The formula has a slight viscosity. Fragrance-free. No eye irritation. No irritation. It's good for layering.
ConsEven though I have a combination skin type, when I apply it with my hands, it feels a bit heavy and stuffy. Wiping it off with a cotton pad makes it a bit lighter. In midsummer, it's a bit heavy, but on the bright side, it seems like you can apply this alone without an essence. The container opening is inconvenient to use. When dispensing it into your hand, it's likely to pour out in a gush. Be careful with the amount.
TipIf you apply it a few times, it has an essence-like effect. Good moisturizing.

It's not just a product with moisture, but also has some oil content, so even if you apply just the toner three times, it provides sufficient moisture, allowing you to skip the cream or lotion. 2) It's gentle and doesn't irritate the skin. Although I'm not sure if it actually balances the pH as the name suggests, on days when I've done extensive cleansing, anything tends to sting, but this product doesn't feel stinging or itchy at all. I've been applying 2-3 layers of it daily with my cleansing water and it really calms and absorbs well into the skin, giving a subtle glow that makes me want to get closer to the mirror. I tried the free sample that came with my sunscreen purchase and fell in love with it. The price is reasonable considering the volume, and it works well for my sensitive skin, so I bought an extra one for my sister whose skin has become more sensitive lately. It's really great! (Updated on 8.9.2019) After double cleansing with oil and foam cleansers due to the mineral sunscreen, using the toner causes irritation. It starts from the lip area and spreads to the entire face, feeling numb, similar to the sensation of having anesthetic cream applied before a procedure at the dermatologist's office. This symptom appears every time I use it after my evening cleansing, so I've currently stopped using it. I have a little less than half a bottle left, so I'll try using it on my arms and legs instead.
ConsSince my expectations for the toner were only about improving skin texture, and not much else, I didn't really feel anything lacking, and the moisturizing power is good enough.
TipAfter cleansing, without using a towel, I just lightly blot the moisture with a white rabbit cotton pad, then flip it over and pat the toner on. Then I do my water-based steps. This way, even without exfoliating, my skin texture gets refined, and the two work really well together. Whenever I use this product, I barely use the Sirucut toner these days. And if I apply an oil-based product over this, it's too much, so I focus on using moisture-based creams and just use one drop of face oil, rubbing it in my palms and gently pressing it in, which makes the hydration amazing.

The combination with the Shirukotto Uruuru cotton pads is very good. It has a soft, non-volatile nature.
ConsI bought it as a cleansing toner, but it absorbs slowly. It glides on the skin and then absorbs. Smooth application -> more slippery than expected. Like most heavy toners, there is a lingering feeling on the hands after application. If you have dry skin, additional cream may be needed. The packaging is inconvenient! It's hard to open and the amount control is difficult.
TipIt is recommended to use only a small amount.

It's a low-irritation, slightly acidic formula 👍🏻 At first, I thought it was a runny formula, but it has a bit of a gel-like feel?.. It feels refreshing and nice when applied ^^ I also think the product and its color are beautifully luminous ㅎㅎ
ConsI bought the Etude product during a Hwahae Trial Reviewer sale event, and I probably wouldn't buy it otherwise.. I wish they could lower the price a bit ㅎㅎ The cap's dispenser is very small, so it's a bit inconvenient ㅠㅠ The hole is the size of a booger..

I bought it from Hwahae. I liked that it had no fragrance. The slightly viscous toner is to my liking. It makes my skin feel moisturized.
ConsThe bottle design is pretty, but the cap part is a bit flimsy.

Provides sufficient hydration - It's been great for me, especially during this transitional weather. It has a watery serum-like texture. 2. Gentle ingredients - There's a slight redness right after application, but after using it for more than 2 weeks, I found that my stubborn whiteheads disappeared naturally. I think it's because the product balances the pH well. 2. Can be used as a cleansing toner and neck care - Applying it not only on the face but also on the neck and upper body maximizes the hydration. 3. ❗💯Can be used as a spot treatment pack even on busy mornings - Since it's a great toner with good ingredients and hydration, I can just soak a cotton pad with it and apply it to the dry areas between my eyebrows and on my cheeks. This helps my makeup apply beautifully.
Cons1. Not ideal as a cleansing toner - It has a bit of a watery serum-like texture, so it's not the best for using as a cleansing toner. But I still use it that way, and I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but I also use it to wipe down my neck, behind my ears, and my armpits. Using a toner like this instead of just applying lotion works great for keeping my skin hydrated, especially in the summer.
TipAfter my morning shower and applying my basic skincare, I put this product on a cotton pad and apply it to my cheeks and the area between my eyebrows. While it's absorbing, I dry my hair and get dressed. Then I remove the cotton pad and apply my makeup. It makes my makeup apply so beautifully! 😄

The toner is used for cleansing, and it works fine without any major issues. The texture is not too watery, with a slight viscosity. It's not inconvenient to wipe off. The amount is generous, and it lasted me over 3 weeks without significant depletion. Since my expectations for toners are low, I gave it 5 stars as long as it didn't cause any trouble.
ConsThe watery texture may be slightly sticky for those who prefer a lighter feel when wiping. The unremarkable aspect can be both an advantage and a drawback. The toner alone does not improve the skin or provide significant hydration, so those with dry skin will need to apply an essence and cream as well.

Even on my usually very sensitive skin that gets irritated by most 'gentle' products, this didn't sting at all and felt great. It's also slightly acidic, so it seems to suit my skin well. I just lightly wiped and patted it on, and it wasn't overly sticky either! The packaging and the color are also pretty and neat, so I think it would make a nice gift too😀 This is the first toner I've tried, and I feel like I'll just keep using this one instead of trying others - I'm that satisfied with the product!❤
ConsThe only downside is that the opening is a bit small, so it tends to drip a little to the side when I'm pouring it out ㅠㅠ
