One-line summary: A houttuynia cordata toner that makes you repurchase again and again. Skin type and condition: I have oily, dehydrated skin prone to various types of acne. Currently taking sebum-regulating medication, my skin has become dry and sensitive, so I'm focusing on using mild products. Among soothing ingredients, houttuynia cordata and green tea work particularly well for me. Current situation and reason for purchase: A few years ago, I had much more acne than now. I bought this toner after learning about houttuynia cordata's anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. It worked so well that I've been using it for several bottles, and now I'm finally writing this review. Ingredients: Personally, I don't prefer herbal soothing toners with too many ingredients. This one mainly contains houttuynia cordata extract, which made me feel comfortable using it. Texture: It's very watery and runny. Since it doesn't contain many ingredients, it lacks viscosity. If you apply it directly from your palm, it's likely to drip. I recommend using it in a spray bottle or applying it with toner pads as a mask. Scent: It has a distinct herbal scent of houttuynia cordata. At first, the medicinal smell bothered me, but after using it for a long time, I've gotten used to it and don't mind it anymore. Absorption: The absorption is excellent, so I use multiple layers. Applying it once doesn't feel like it provides enough hydration, so I usually apply at least two or three layers. Value for money: I think it offers good value for its price. Since watery toners tend to run out quickly, it's nice that this comes in both 150ml and 300ml sizes. If it works well for you, you can stock up on the larger size.

There's nothing to complain about because it's so good. If anything, I'm worried it might be discontinued because it's too good.

I recommend this to those who respond well to houttuynia cordata. When my acne was severe and my skin was sensitive, I consistently applied this toner in my basic skincare routine. It prevented my acne from worsening and had a soothing effect. To use it without waste, I suggest making your own toner pads or using it as a mist by putting it in a spray bottle.
