When applied to areas with high sebum production like the T-zone, under the chin, and forehead, it felt noticeably cooling and effectively controlled oiliness. I found that using it alongside other pore-targeting products seemed to maximize its effectiveness in regulating excess sebum production!
Cons
As someone with super sensitive skin, I found it too irritating to use. It stung quite a bit and had a strong alcohol scent. Compared to other toners, it seemed to dry much faster, and despite being a water-based toner, it left a sticky, thin film on my skin. Overall, the finish wasn't pleasant for me.

The ample amount of product made it easy to apply in an uneven manner, and layering it a few times resulted in my skin becoming increasingly taut and firm with each application.
Cons
The scent has a slight alcoholic aroma, which may divide opinions. The toner's performance was so-so. Since it was recommended for oily skin, I had high expectations, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly great about it.

The cleansing sensation feels great. It has a perfectly organized, tidy feel.
Cons
It is dry and irritating. Afterwards, it seems like proper moisturizing will be necessary.

It seems like it will last a long time since the capacity is large. I'm not sure about other advantages.
Cons
I was surprised that even though it's a toner, it doesn't finish with a refreshing feel but is rather sticky and sticky. After using it, I felt my face was a bit stinging and irritating, which was disappointing.

As a water-based toner, it absorbs well when applied to a cotton pad and gently massaged onto the skin. It feels lightweight and long-lasting. It's great to use as a first step after cleansing. I think it would be helpful for those with oily skin or excess sebum.
Cons
It's fine for everyday use, but if you're exposed to air conditioning for a long time, your skin can feel quite irritated.

The formulation is a water-based formula that is easy to use as a light pack. It absorbs quickly, with a slight stickiness that soon disappears. The finish is powdery. There is a scent, but it may be divisive. Personally, I don't care for the fragrance.
Cons
It would be great if it came in a larger size. Since I also use it as a face mask, the amount goes down quickly.

It's great for morning cleansing. I recommend it for oily skin types as it has a refreshing feel.
Cons
The amount can be a bit tricky to control, and it may not be the best choice for dry skin types.

Even though it was claimed to be a high-quality product, my mistake was that I superficially thought it would be a reasonably refreshing product. But I didn't realize that this product was so sharply targeted at only oily skin. When combined with the content of the disappointing points I wrote below, the conclusion is that this was a product made solely for powerful, oily skin.
Cons
The fragrance was not the typical alcohol scent found in men's cosmetics, but rather a chilling, eerie alcohol scent, almost like industrial alcohol or something concocted in a laboratory. I did apply it to my face, but wow, the stickiness went beyond just being sticky and had a gooey, gluey feel that wouldn't go away. I suspect these strange-feeling ingredients oxidize gloriously along with the sebum. When Makiol first advertised with the 'sebum removal' keyword, I thought to myself, 'It's not removal, it's just sebum control.' But this toner would have removed the skin of those without sebum if they used it.
