I should've taken pictures, what a waste! This product is absolutely amazing! I used to think the Dokdo Toner was my holy grail. But with Japan dumping radioactive waste in Bida, I was way too anxious about using deep sea water, so I switched to this. #Texture At first, I thought it wasn't as good as the Dokdo Toner. Dokdo was completely liquid, so you could spritz it on and it felt clean afterwards. This toner has a slight viscosity and feels a bit slippery, so it doesn't feel like you haven't applied anything. The slipperiness is characteristic of hyaluronic acid, but it took some getting used to. I don't like feeling like there's something on my face. #Hydration But when the seasons started changing, its benefits really shone through. With Dokdo, I'd apply it 1-2 times in summer and morning, noon, and night otherwise. With this Make P:rem, I only need to apply it once in summer and twice other times to keep my skin hydrated all day without any tightness. The most amazing thing is, usually even in summer, you need to apply toner again after washing your face, right? With this, even if I wash my face around noon and don't reapply, my skin somehow feels moisturized on its own. It's not like I just applied toner, but there's no tightness after washing. That was really surprising. #Effects It's great for calming the skin. If you use it as a mask on reddened skin, it soothes immediately. It's not exactly whitening, but you know how your skin looks clear and overflowing with moisture after a shower? It gives you that kind of clear complexion, so there's a brightening effect. It's more about having clear skin from being full of hydration rather than actually whitening your skin, haha!
ConsI wouldn't really recommend it for those who prefer super lightweight products. Even if you apply a thin layer, there's a slight slippery feeling on the skin, unlike the watery Dokdo Toner. While it's described as moisturizing, it was a bit much for my past self who preferred a completely weightless feel. Now I love it though!
Tip#Perfect Combo I'm mixing it with The Ordinary's Niacinamide. It's great for skin regeneration and some brightening. Especially during this mask-wearing season when I'm worried about blemishes and scars, using these two together eliminates any concerns about scarring. I mix about 9 parts toner to 1 part niacinamide. #Cotton Pads In summer, it's perfect to do a light toner mask using Klairs' 1/3 sheet cotton pads. It's also amazing for calming sensitive skin with a toner pack. It's essential for soothing the skin!

Hydration I've been using this consistently to replenish moisture right after showering. I used it alongside my existing toner, and I definitely felt that the hydration lasted longer compared to before using this product. After moisturizing immediately in the bathroom post-shower and then drying my hair, my face felt less dry than before. As the name 'essence toner' suggests, it has both hydrating power and a viscosity that prevents it from evaporating quickly. 2. Gentle Formula When I started using this product, my skin condition wasn't great, but it didn't worsen. However, I can't say I noticed a significant improvement in my skin condition either. Still, since it didn't cause any irritation, it seems like a good choice for a mild, gentle toner. Overall, it feels like a decent toner that's easy to use casually.
ConsTo be honest, if I had to completely switch from my current toner to this one, I don't think I could. My existing toner also contains low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and has been very effective in improving deep hydration. Compared to that product, the Make P:rem toner has a more slippery texture, true to its 'essence toner' name. While this means one application feels sufficient, for some reason, I don't get the sensation of moisture penetrating deep into my skin.
TipAs the name 'essence toner' suggests, it's not exactly like a watery toner. It seems good for use after a light, watery toner to lock in moisture, helping to maintain the skin's hydration.

About me: I work long hours in research, previously used an all-in-one emulsion (Black Monster) and Acne-Q (acne cream). I've been using this product for over 7 days, applying it first thing after showering. 1. Hydration: Oh wow, I definitely feel more hydrated compared to when I didn't use a toner. It's noticeably different from just leaving my skin damp after cleansing. 2. Irritation: Personally, I didn't experience any skin irritation. 3. Overall impression: I'm noticing effects that I didn't feel when using Dokdo or CNP toners. Although I received this toner as part of an event, it's made me curious about their emulsion line too. P.S. I'm not great at writing as a guy, but I genuinely liked this. The texture and formula? I've mentioned that in the 'cons' section.
ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of extremely watery formulas like the Dokdo toner (sometimes I wonder if it's just water). - Product feel: CNP feels too slippery, while this one is just right - seems to aim for a more universal appeal. If we rate the slipperiness with Dokdo at 10 (none) and CNP at 2 (very slippery), this one feels like an 8. I think it would be even better if it were around 6 or 7.

As the weather's starting to warm up, my skin's been feeling a bit heated, so I've been looking for something with a lighter finish rather than a heavy one. This toner has just the right cooling effect and a lightweight yet hydrating finish that I love! What's even better is that it comes in a large size, so I can use it generously without worry. It really excels at the basics, which makes it an excellent choice as a toner.
ConsThere is a slight slipperiness typical of low pH products, which isn't exactly what I look for in a toner. However, it's still usable if you can overlook this aspect!
TipTo quickly reduce skin heat, I found that soaking a thin cotton pad with the toner and leaving it on for a moment works wonders.

ConsThe toner itself feels slippery and like it's creating a film, so when I applied moisturizer or other skincare products afterwards, my face felt congested. Now I'm only using the toner and applying cream separately.

I rarely write reviews because I'm usually too lazy, but this toner is so good I had to share. First off, I have extremely combination dehydrated skin. While hydration is crucial for my skin, I dislike slippery, oily products like those with hyaluronic acid, so I initially didn't use this toner much. When I ran out of my usual toner, I reluctantly started using this one. Since it comes in such a large quantity, I decanted it into a mist bottle to use frequently and even did toner masks. Gradually, I noticed my skin maintaining its moisture and my deep dryness improving significantly. My routine was simple: 'wipe with cotton pad - absorb with mist 3 times - apply emulsion twice (Cynic Simple Emulsion) - finish with jojoba oil mixed with emulsion'. Though it's a bit pricey, it lasts a long time, so I'm planning to repurchase.
ConsAt first, I didn't like the slippery texture, but I grew to appreciate it over time. I wish the price point was a bit lower.
TipI recommend decanting it into a bottle and using it as a mist throughout the day. It's especially effective for maintaining hydration after cleansing.

It's incredibly gentle, and just one application provides amazing hydration. My daughter uses it too and absolutely loves it. It seems to really help improve deep dryness.
ConsThe texture is slightly slippery, I suppose? To be honest, there's nothing I'm really disappointed about.

This toner, however, has excellent moisturizing properties. After using it, I noticed it significantly boosted my skin's hydration levels, leaving my face feeling comfortably moist for a long time. It was even good enough to use on its own before bed without any additional products.
ConsThe texture felt a bit slippery, almost like I was just applying water, which was slightly off-putting. Other than that, I didn't have any major complaints, but I also didn't feel particularly compelled to repurchase it.
