Texture/Feel: This toner has a thicker consistency than typical watery toners, making it less drying. I use cotton pads in the morning, but in the evening, I prefer patting it in with my hands for better absorption. When using cotton pads, you might need to use a bit more product since it doesn't run like watery toners. Using bare hands is very satisfying as the texture falls between a toner and essence in terms of viscosity and hydration. Despite its consistency, it absorbs incredibly well, leaving skin moisturized without any stickiness. It seems to help with dead skin cells too, leaving skin feeling smoother. Whether it's the texture or ingredients, I'm not sure, but applying this toner leaves my skin feeling hydrated, refined, and velvety smooth. I personally recommend using it as a toner mask with thin cotton pads or patting it in with bare hands. It's perfect for winter, and since it's not sticky, it's great for summer too. Packaging/Scent: While I don't pay much attention to design for home use, I appreciate that they've switched to a transparent bottle, making it easier to see how much product is left. The fragrance-free formula is a big plus, especially since some toners can have strong or polarizing scents. Price/Ingredients: I'm really impressed with the ingredients. Having sensitive skin, I'm cautious about what I use, and many products can cause blemishes even with good ingredients. Fortunately, this doesn't contain any problematic ingredients, so it doesn't cause any skin issues. However, as someone who prefers larger sizes, I wish they'd sell a bigger bottle. It runs out quickly, especially when used for toner masks. Maybe 500ml to 1L? It might seem excessive, but considering families or siblings sharing, it could be a good size. 300ml feels insufficient even for single use. Price-wise, it's not the most budget-friendly option, but considering the ingredients and sale timings, it's not a bad choice. There are products with good ingredients and value, but they often just prep the skin before makeup without noticeable benefits for hydration or dead skin cells. This one stands out in those aspects, so if you catch it on sale, it's a great product.

The product lid is inconvenient. Twisting it open like a drink bottle can be a bit annoying. Most toners have a push-down cap that opens and closes without twisting. Perhaps consider changing to that type of design?
