ConsEven though I know ethanol doesn't agree with my skin, I thought I'd give it a try... but I had to stop using it when blemishes started appearing

It helps control excess oil.
ConsProbably due to the high ethanol content, it stings badly if you have any cuts on your skin. Otherwise, it caused blemishes... I thought maybe something else was the issue, so I stopped using it for a while, then tried this toner again, repeating this cycle for a few months. But it seems this toner is indeed the problem. The biggest issue appears to be the ethanol... I have a large bottle, not sure what to do with it now!

First off, my skin is ultra-ultra-ultra sensitive, combination dehydrated, extremely dry, prone to unexplained blemishes and acne, with an oily T-zone - basically a hopeless case. I loved that Botanity not only sells the exfoliating toner but also includes cotton pads with the shipment, so there's no need to buy them separately! True to its name as an exfoliating toner, the formula is refreshing and lightweight, which I absolutely adored! Plus, it's not gushing out uncontrollably - with a bit of tilt control, it's easy to manage the amount, which is great! I used to have whiteheads and sebum on my nose, but after using this exfoliating toner, they disappeared quickly! It also helps control oiliness, which is fantastic! I usually dislike sticky products, but the Makiol Fresh Toner leaves my skin feeling fresh and moisturized, which I really appreciate!
ConsThe product description warned about ingredients that might not be suitable for sensitive skin, and true to that, my skin reacted badly. Using the exfoliating toner seemed to bring out more blemishes... I plan to try it again once my skin calms down. The reviews also mentioned it's good for oily skin types, and I can see why. As someone with extremely dry skin, I found it made my skin feel even tighter and drier after use. If you have dry skin, I recommend following up with a deeply hydrating product after using this toner! Lastly, while some reviews said even those with sensitive skin used it without issues, it seems skincare truly is case by case. Still, apart from the areas where I broke out, the exfoliating effects were really good!
TipFor areas with excess sebum, soak a cotton pad generously with the toner, leave it on for a bit until it feels slightly plumped up, then gently wipe - the sebum comes right off!

Usually, I stick to my regular skincare products and rarely try new ones. But since I was chosen, I decided to give it a go and see what it's all about. Product contents: Makioll Fresh Toner + Unbleached cotton pads Makioll Fresh Toner Review: After applying the toner, rather than feeling dry, it felt like a very thin protective layer formed on my skin. Right after application, there's a barely noticeable slight stickiness and a faint squeaky-clean sensation. To test for dryness, I only used the toner without applying anything else, and I didn't feel any tightness or urgency to apply cream. These initial sensations gradually faded after about 10 minutes (leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and slightly squeaky-clean). Pros: I love the packaging. It makes a satisfying sound when opening and closing. Best of all, you can either pat it onto cotton pads or gently squeeze the bottle to dispense more product at once. It also does a great job of smoothing out dead skin cells, especially around the nose area where there's a bit of oil. After wiping with the toner, that rough texture seems to disappear.
ConsCons: I had a few blemishes and some wounded areas on my face, and it stung slightly when the toner touched those spots (this could be due to my sensitive skin). Also, when I used the toner on cotton pads to wipe around my ears, I ended up with blemishes on both sides.
TipWhile I don't have any specific tips, I found that using the included unbleached cotton pads with the toner was quite gentle. If you wipe softly, it doesn't cause any irritation.

When I heard about this toner that manages sebum and dead skin cells, I was really excited to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers. After trying it myself, I realized that toners for oily skin are perfect for me. With winter bringing both flaky skin and excess oil, this toner was just what I needed. After application, it feels cool and firm on the skin, probably due to its active ingredients. I used to apply a whitehead-controlling ampoule once or twice a week, but with this toner, I don't need to anymore. It's definitely a great toner for oily skin! It feels hydrating when applied and leaves my skin feeling firm afterwards.
ConsLike with all cosmetics, there wasn't a dramatic change. While it seems to reduce oiliness, it doesn't completely eliminate it, and I still get some blemishes. However, I'm satisfied with these results!
TipThe cooling sensation doubles when you keep it in the fridge!

As someone with dry skin, I didn't have high expectations. After winning, I found out it's actually meant for oily skin types! Still, I decided to give it a try since I won it, and I've been using it for just under a week. It's great for balancing and cleansing the skin after washing your face! I also really appreciated that it doesn't have any unnecessary fragrances and feels unscented, which was refreshing.
ConsFor dry skin, it feels a bit lacking in hydration and seems to leave a slightly tight feeling. It also stung a little. It's definitely better suited for oily skin rather than dry! I have a tendency towards redness, and I noticed it seemed to increase while using this. It was too harsh for my skin type. A couple of blemishes appeared, and while I'm not sure if it's directly related to this product, they showed up after I started using it, so I've stopped for now.
TipAfter cleansing, I found it refreshing to use it for skin balancing by saturating a cotton pad. It also felt cool and invigorating when used as a mask before applying makeup!

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.ProsSkin type: Very oily, combination dehydrated, sensitive, prone to blemishes. I used this product as an exfoliating toner for about ten days, morning and night. I gently wiped it on once in the morning and twice in the evening. My skin tends to produce excessive sebum and oil, so I usually wake up with an extremely greasy face. After using this product, it seems to have reduced a bit. The feel of the product is slightly moisturizing, probably due to some oil components (which is both a pro and a con). The scent is fine for me.
ConsWhen I first used it, I applied it generously on a cotton pad - ouch! It stung so much it brought tears to my eyes. I've never experienced such a stinging sensation from a toner before. I'm not sure if it's related, but I noticed some small blemishes appearing. I mentioned the moisturizing effect as both a pro and a con because while it feels hydrating after patting it in, there's also a sense of heaviness on the skin. It might be better suited for use during seasonal changes or in winter. Usually, I apply toner three times - once with an exfoliating toner, then two more layers. But with this product, I only use it once as an exfoliating toner due to its oily feel.
TipGiven my skin type, I typically avoid oil-based or cream products. However, I found that if I use this product as a toner and immediately follow with an ampoule, essence, or serum, patting it in well, it reduces the lingering moistness or stickiness that you might feel when using it alone.

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.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I've been consistently using this product since the day it arrived. I have combination dehydrated skin that's relatively sensitive, with large pores and excess oil production. However, my skin feels tight after cleansing due to inner dryness. Recently, I've been dealing with various types of acne, but it's improving with dermatological treatments. I still struggle with enlarged pores in the T-zone, blackheads on my nose, and visible sebum. To assess this toner's effectiveness, I used only the toner and a moisturizer. Application: I absolutely loved the feel of this product. As recommended, I applied it generously on a cotton pad and gently wiped my face after cleansing. It's light and hydrating enough for summer use. I was thoroughly impressed. Texture: The lightweight, water-like consistency is perfect! When saturating a cotton pad, it provides hydration while leaving the skin feeling clean. It's not sticky at all when used as an exfoliating toner. Oil reduction: There was a noticeable decrease in oil production! Previously, I had to use oil blotting papers multiple times after a few hours of skincare, but since using this toner, I haven't needed them. Scent: As someone with a sensitive nose, I found the fragrance surprisingly mild and pleasant to use. It's artificial but inoffensive.
ConsWhile overall I'm quite satisfied with this toner, there are some downsides... 1. Ingredients: It contains two potential allergens and several ingredients that may not be suitable for sensitive skin. I felt a bit anxious each time I used it. I wish they had opted for safer ingredients. 2. Blemishes: Unfortunately, I experienced some breakouts. While not severe cystic acne, I consistently woke up to 3-4 small, slightly pustular blemishes each morning after use. I immediately cleansed and treated them, but it's troublesome. As I'm currently undergoing acne treatment, I'm concerned about using a product that causes breakouts, fearing they might worsen. 3. Pores: Although it's possible I haven't used it long enough to see results, I was hoping for some pore-minimizing effects. Disappointingly, my pores in the T-zone seem to be getting larger as the weather gets warmer. I really wished it had shown some effectiveness in pore reduction, but sadly there's no effect yet. 4. Irritation: When the toner slightly touched areas where I had squeezed blemishes, it stung quite a bit. I suspect it's due to the alcohol content. I was worried it might further irritate my skin, but fortunately, it didn't worsen the situation.

My skin is combination dehydrated in winter and oily in summer. This was my first time trying a Docto product. I liked that it was thin enough to easily soak a cotton pad, and the scent wasn't overpowering, making it a good affordable Docto option. After cleansing, using this made my skin feel fresh, and I could see dirt and debris from towels being removed on the cotton pad, which was great. It leaves a nice finish. Rather than using it after cleansing at night, I preferred using it in the morning. It definitely leaves the skin feeling fresh, so other skincare products absorb well without pilling. When I applied foundation after using this toner, I noticed better makeup adherence and longevity compared to using a regular toner, which was very satisfying.
ConsMy skin became super sensitive after using a low-molecular-weight skincare product from another brand. So even when I used products that were supposed to be gentle, I kept getting blemishes, which made me worried about trying this product. While it was great for oil control on my cheeks, T-zone, and chin areas, it seemed to aggravate the blemishes on my forehead, which was already irritated. I wish it had more of a soothing effect.
TipUsing it in the morning before makeup rather than at night greatly improves the longevity and adherence of your makeup.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, my T-zone and butterfly zone tend to get especially shiny in summer, but this product works hard to keep oiliness in check. It's also great for dead skin cell removal, making it ideal as a toner. I'd recommend this to those with oily skin that isn't too sensitive.
ConsAs you can tell from the ingredients, it didn't suit my super sensitive skin. After using it just twice, I got two hard blemishes and had to quickly calm my skin with trouble patches. It seems this wasn't a good fit for me, as I usually use the Dokdo toner and emulsion.
