I found that using it alongside other pore-targeting products seemed to maximize its effectiveness in regulating excess sebum production!
ConsAs 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.

ConsThe scent has a slight alcohol smell that might be polarizing. The toner's performance was just okay. I had high hopes since it's supposed to be good for oily skin, but I can't say there's anything particularly impressive about it.

My mistake, I admit. But I never expected it to target oily skin so aggressively. Combining this with the downsides I'll mention below, the conclusion is that this product is truly designed for extremely oily skin types only.
ConsThe scent has an alcohol smell, but not the kind you'd typically find in men's cosmetics. It's more like industrial alcohol? It gives off an eerie vibe, like lying on a cold operating table in a laboratory. When I applied it to my face, wow! The sticky feeling was beyond just tacky - it felt downright gooey and wouldn't go away. I suspect these strange-feeling ingredients might be designed to oxidize along with sebum. When Makiol first advertised 'sebum removing' as a key feature, I thought to myself, 'Why not just say sebum control?' But now I see - this toner is so intense, if someone without oily skin used it, their face might end up 'removed' as punishment for using the wrong product for their skin type!

ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit drying. There's a slight alcohol scent to it.

It contains exfoliating ingredients, so I mainly use it as an exfoliating toner. It feels refreshing, and I think it might be reducing sebum and oiliness...? Worried about potential irritation, I use it every other day instead of daily. With this usage, I'm not entirely sure how effective it is at controlling oiliness and sebum. I'm just using it primarily for dead skin cell removal.
ConsAlcohol is listed near the top of the ingredients, so take note if that doesn't suit your skin. There's also an alcohol scent, and sometimes it can feel a bit tingling. I'm using it because I have it, but once it's finished, I probably won't repurchase.

It gives the impression of refining and balancing the complexion.
ConsI couldn't really tell if it was effectively removing dead skin cells. Compared to others, it had a stronger alcohol scent. People sensitive to smells might find it triggers coughing or sneezing.

First off, I felt it was a truly effective toner for smoothing out dead skin cells and removing excess oil and sebum.
ConsThere seems to be a slight alcohol scent, which made me hesitant to use it as a cotton pad mask. The hydration doesn't feel particularly intense.
TipIt's also refreshing and nice to use on body acne or other areas of the body.

Just a decent toner that's neither particularly bad nor exceptionally good - pretty standard overall.
ConsThe scent... Well, it's not as medicinal as the Flavon line, which is okay, but there's this sharp, alcohol-like smell that's a bit off-putting.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry U-zone. I've got some small bumps on my forehead and butterfly zone. On the first day, I used this exfoliating toner all over my face and didn't feel any tingling sensation! However, due to the alcohol scent, I don't think I can use it daily, so I changed my routine to about 4 times a week. After consistent use, I can definitely say it helps control sebum - I notice less oil around my nose area! As for the small bumps, while I'm not sure about their calming effect, they haven't gotten worse!
ConsWell, don't expect dramatic results right after using it! I used it when I didn't have many severe blemishes, so that might be why I didn't see any notable effects. Also, the alcohol scent is stronger than expected, so those sensitive to fragrances should keep that in mind!
TipThere's a reason they included cotton pads with the shipment. While I usually prefer pat-on toners, this is an exfoliating toner, folks. It's meant to be used as a swipe-on toner.
