As someone with sensitive and dry skin, I had always avoided BHA products. However, after a friend's recommendation, I decided to try a sample I received from the official website. I used it as an exfoliating toner instead of my usual gentle peeling treatment, which I typically did every two weeks. After the first use, when I applied this exfoliating toner followed by my serum, I could feel my skin becoming incredibly soft and smooth to the touch. Plus, I didn't experience any particular irritation. Being cautious due to my sensitive skin, I didn't use it daily. After about a week, I tried it again, using it once a day. During the second use, I felt a tingling sensation on my cheeks. By the third use, I noticed increased tingling and deep dryness in my cheeks, though my T-zone was fine. Also, since I know BHA can increase sun sensitivity, I think it's important to apply sunscreen diligently when using this during the day. I plan to use it a bit longer to determine if it's suitable for my sensitive, dry skin. It seems like it could be great for those with oily skin types. - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinJun 24, 2024
The king of exfoliation for combination dehydrated skin... I rarely use the same product twice, but I'm on my third bottle of this toner. I only use it in the evening, and while using it, I definitely get fewer blemishes or none at all. I have oily skin with dehydration, but I think it might be too drying for those with dry skin. It's a great toner to use as a mist in a spray bottle when your skin is feeling a bit sensitive for an exfoliating toner! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 29, 2022
As someone with blemish-prone skin, I appreciated the gentle exfoliation from the BHA. The abundance of fig extract was also a plus. The product size is too small, and I'm not sure if it actually controls sebum. It's also extremely drying. At first, I noticed more small bumps appearing, but now it seems to have settled down. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJul 14, 2022
It's great to use when you want to refine your skin texture. I noticed an improvement the next day when I used it together with eggplant cream and propolis ampoule. It might feel a bit drying! I recommend using plenty of hydration with it. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 14, 2022
I really liked how well it absorbs due to its light texture. The scent was quite pleasant too. I didn't notice any significant skin improvement. Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in hydration. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 2, 2021
This toner is one I've gone through about 4 bottles of (I usually get bored easily and have many unfinished cosmetics). Compared to other toners, I really liked the noticeable exfoliating effect and the incredibly refreshing finish. I'd recommend this if you dislike heavy formulas or want to gently remove dead skin cells occasionally! Since it's an exfoliating product, it can be a bit harsh. I'm used to it now and it works well for me, but initially it stung and caused some redness (my skin was much more sensitive then). I wouldn't recommend this if you have super sensitive skin. Also, it provides almost no hydration, so I suggest applying a light serum after using this. This product is too harsh for daily use and lacks hydration, so use it occasionally! Don't forget to apply a serum afterwards... - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 3, 2021
As someone with sensitive combination skin prone to acne, I can confidently say this product naturally refines skin texture and eliminates dead skin cells. It's truly a miracle worker for those pesky blemishes! It's definitely drying and lacks sufficient hydration. While I'd strongly recommend it for acne-prone or oily skin types, those with sensitive or dry skin should proceed with caution. As someone with sensitive, acne-prone combination skin, I use it, but I've noticed my skin becoming a bit more reactive. If you're using a toner, I'd suggest applying it immediately after, followed by a serum that combats deep dryness or supports your skin barrier, and then a hydrating moisturizer. This routine should help maintain a good balance for your skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 14, 2020
BHA ingredients seem to work best for oily skin types. I can really feel the difference when I use it versus when I don't. I guess that means this toner is doing a great job with its BHA component, right? The price is reasonable too, and overall it's a solid choice. The role of ingredients other than BHA is a bit vague. It doesn't seem to provide much hydration either... Though I suppose this is similar to other basic skincare products. I can use it daily without any issues. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 12, 2020
Honest review from my own purchase: As someone with sensitive, combination dehydrated skin prone to pustular acne, especially with prolonged mask-wearing, I've found this product incredibly helpful. - Dead skin cells and impurity removal? The effects are visibly noticeable. I use cotton pads and typically exfoliate quite frequently, but since using this eggplant toner, I've been able to reduce my exfoliation routine. - Lupeol effect? Due to wearing masks for over 10 hours, stress, and hormonal changes, I've been struggling with pustular and closed comedones acne, particularly on my cheeks and chin. It was so bad I couldn't touch my face. I bought this toner on sale without much thought, not expecting it to help, but it's made a significant improvement. While acne scars are inevitable, my skin has improved dramatically. This has become one of my few staple products, which is rare for me. - Skin irritation: Due to its slightly acidic nature, it can be quite irritating on thinner areas of skin like around the nose. It stings... - Value for money: Considering the full price, the volume is disappointing for the cost. It runs out really quickly. -> I'm currently using it twice daily, morning and evening. - Dryness: As it's not specifically a hydrating or nourishing toner, it's understandable, but my skin feels quite dry after using this exfoliating toner. After using this exfoliating toner, make sure to apply plenty of hydrating products like a moisturizing serum to replenish your skin's moisture. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinJul 20, 2020
I used this lightly as part of my daily routine last summer, but lately, with mask-wearing, my skin hasn't been great. So I've been using it as a skin pack about 3 times a week. After leaving it on for about 5 minutes, I feel like my blackheads soften up a bit, which seems good for managing sebum. While using it as a skin pack, there's a burning sensation, so it might not be good to leave it on for too long. In winter, I wondered if it might be too drying even for oily skin. I didn't feel any moisturizing effect.
