First of all, it contains tea tree extract, which makes it suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. As mentioned in the product description, the tea tree extract controls sebum and refreshingly manages oily skin. The certified organic aloe vera extract helps soothe sensitive skin. This is a refreshing organic toner. The ingredients are amazing! Tea tree extract 82.9% Aloe vera leaf extract 10% The expiration date is not too short either. It's a product manufactured in September 2019 and good until March 2022. After opening, it can be used for 12 months. The bottle is not too big, so I might be able to finish a few bottles in a year. When you first open the lid, there is a cap that you need to pull off to use it. The toner dispenser is not too wide, so when you dab it onto a cotton pad, a large amount doesn't come out all at once, which is nice. When you dab it onto the cotton pad, a very pleasant fragrance comes out. It's a citrusy fragrance, and you might even wonder what kind of fragrance is in it. But the Aromatica Tea Tree Balancing Toner does not contain any added fragrance. The fragrance is just so good that there's no aversion to it at all. When you wipe it on your skin following the texture, it feels refreshing and helps remove any remaining impurities or sebum after cleansing. I wish I had also bought the tea tree lotion from the same line after trying this toner. Haha Although I haven't used it for long, I highly recommend this for acne-prone, oily skin.
ConsThere are no downsides or inconvenient aspects, but it would be better if the volume was slightly upgraded for use as a cleansing toner.
TipOn days when breakouts are severe... I'm afraid to even apply lotion. Soaking a cotton pad with the Tea Tree Balancing Toner and placing it on the troubled areas like a mask seems to help.

The pore-tightening effect was also noticeable. ●Skin Texture Improvement My skin became smooth and silky. ●Smooth and Velvety After cleansing and absorbing it a few times, it felt more smooth and velvety rather than tacky. It would feel refreshing on oily skin, but might feel drying on dry skin.
Cons●Irritating The ingredients are good, but the tea tree itself may not agree with me. My cheeks around the nose became red, and I had trouble spots like red dots on my forehead. When I stopped using it, the redness subsided. ●Expensive Considering the Volume Since I have to apply it several times for cleansing, I can see the volume decreasing rapidly, which makes me feel like I can't use it freely...

It was really a well-balanced product as described! I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, but this is truly a life-changing toner for me... I will continue to use this product only. When I use oil-controlling cosmetics, my skin often becomes dry, but this product not only controls oil but also contains aloe vera, so my skin doesn't get dry! It also helps refine my skin texture, and the fragrance makes me feel so refreshed! I feel great every time I use it ㅜㅜ Buy it two or three times. I also received it as a birthday gift and am now on my third bottle ㅜㅜ
ConsThe only downside is the volume ㅜㅜ I wish they made a larger size....
TipAfter using this toner, I also apply a hyaluronic acid toner, and then I use the Bonjour moisturizer - it's a perfect combination.... I had a facial treatment and my skin was completely messed up, but it calmed down quickly and I didn't have any dryness!

It has a slightly viscous feel, so I apply a few drops of this toner after cleansing with a gentle skin softener. It doesn't cause any blemishes and doesn't make my skin overly oily.
ConsThere's nothing particularly wrong with it, but I'm hesitant to continue repurchasing it given the price. If it's not on sale, I probably won't keep using this product.

I have sensitive combination skin. I think this is a really good product for treating milia and acne. The ingredients are so gentle, and when I use it during breakouts, it immediately calms my skin. It also helps control oil in the summer, so I've used it well. It has a slightly tea tree oil-like finish, so it's moisturizing. The scent is absolutely wonderful, in my opinion.
ConsThe bottle is glass, so it's heavy. I wish they would change the packaging. The volume isn't that much, so I feel like it runs out quickly. It might be too heavy for oily skin to use.
TipWhen my skin is red and irritated, if I soak a cotton pad in it and use it as a pack, the puffiness goes down and it calms my skin so refreshingly. Leaving the cotton pad pack on while blow-drying my hair makes my face so moisturized. And when they have sales (2+1), it's great to buy then.

It was fine to use as a cleansing water, and there was no particular increase in breakouts. It seems to control oil well. A refreshing feeling?! I used another tea tree product before and it felt drying, but this product didn't feel drying or tight at all. I'm not sure about its ability to calm breakouts haha But I like Aromatica products because the ingredients seem gentle and mild^^ It might be better to use in the summer than winter. If your T-zone is oily like mine, I think you'll find this works well for you too. I plan to repurchase it haha
ConsSince it's a toner, there aren't really any disappointing points.ㅎㅎ If I had to find something, it would be that the packaging is glass? I personally don't like glass packaging much. It's just heavy... And I use it up too quickly ㅠㅠ The volume is on the small side, which is a shame...
TipApplying it with a 1/2 cotton pad after chilling it was really nice!!ㅎㅎ

The basic review is as follows: The product has good spreadability and absorption. The tea tree content is high, but the scent is subtle, which I like. When applied to cotton and left for a few seconds, it felt cool and non-irritating. It also seemed to provide some sebum control, which was one of my concerns. Just as I was feeling reassured, I checked the English ingredient list on the bottle and became worried about potential irritation. I purchased the product because the ingredients listed on the Hwahae and Aromatica websites did not indicate any allergens or concerning components, but...
ConsThe English ingredient list included limonene, linalool, and citral, all of which are potential allergens (though they do not cause reactions in everyone). I reached out to the company about this, and they responded quickly. They explained that the English ingredient list is for the European export version, and the labeling method differs from the domestic Korean labeling. That's why those concerning ingredients were not specifically listed in the Korean description. The three ingredients I was worried about are actually components of the "bergamot oil" (also known as "bergamot oil") that is contained in the product, rather than being present individually.
TipAccording to the company's response, the actual amount of limonene, linalool, and citral used in the product is extremely small, so irritation from those ingredients is unlikely. However, if you are particularly sensitive to those components, the company recommends discontinuing use of the product and requesting a refund. So for those who found this product unsuitable, the issue may have been sensitivity to linalool, limonene, or citral, rather than the tea tree oil. (It's also possible the tea tree oil itself was the problem.) This experience has taught me that even natural oils, despite their low-risk profile, can contain small amounts of potentially allergenic components, like in the case of bergamot oil. Especially for those with extreme sensitivities, it's important to be cautious. I plan to continue using the product for a few more days and will provide an additional review later. ----- 2-Week Follow-Up Review (12/5): I've been using the product for about a week since writing the initial review. I've been focusing on using it in my T-zone, where I have oily skin. I'm happy to report no allergic reactions so far! Perhaps the small amount of the concerning ingredients is not problematic for my level of sensitivity. While the sebum control effect is not dramatic, I have noticed an improvement. My excessively oily areas are not as unmanageable. However, I haven't yet seen significant pore-tightening effects. Overall, I'm satisfied with the lack of allergic response and the mild sebum control benefits, so I'm adding an extra star to my rating.

The main ingredient is tea tree, which is good for acne. The price is affordable. It feels like the sebum is being wiped away.
ConsI had high expectations, but I was disappointed that I couldn't really feel a significant improvement. It has a refreshing peppery scent. I was fine with it, but some people might not like it. And I was surprised by how small it was when I first received it - it gets used up very quickly.

I really, really, really love it so much!! (The photo on top is from two days ago, after washing my face and applying the AI cream, and the bottom photo is just taken, in the same spot with the same lighting, 3 hours after washing my face) If you have oily skin, you definitely need to try this. The word 'balancing' in the name is not just for show - it really helps control sebum very well. I had to avoid using cleansers because of my seborrheic dermatitis, so I just covered my face with a gel for about two months. My nose was completely clogged with sebum, and no matter how much I squeezed it, it wouldn't go away. But this product solved the problem in one go. The seborrheic dermatitis was only on my nose, and nothing seemed to work, but my nose has been getting clearer day by day since using this. My boyfriend also had severe acne on his chin that was always red and swollen, but after using this for just three days, the blemishes are gone and no new ones have appeared. I knew right away when I started using it - this is a game-changer. My face became so much brighter. Just give it a try. Skin types can be different, so it may not work for everyone, but for those it does work for, it's a whole new world. It's really that good.
ConsThe volume is a bit small. But considering the effectiveness, I'd still buy it even if the price was doubled.
TipUse the Tea Tree line from the same brand together. I didn't buy the emulsion because the reviews weren't great, and I haven't tried it, but the Tea Tree Foam Cleanser and Tea Tree Blemish Spot Treatment have worked well for me. I can't say for sure that the effects are from any one product, but the reviews say using them together has a synergistic effect. Anyway, just wiping my face with this toner on a cotton pad right after cleansing makes my face so much brighter and less oily. It lasts all day (although it doesn't completely stop oil production for my very oily skin, the shiny, dripping sebum is gone and it just has a healthy glow).
