Soothing effect You can experience a different kind of calming sensation compared to centella toners. Of course, its effectiveness is just as excellent as centella-based products. 2. The texture is water-like with no stickiness. If you dislike sticky formulas and prefer water-based products, this will suit you very well. 3. It contains oils, making it perfect for those with dry skin. 4. The design is beautifully simple, not flashy but elegant.
ConsDrawbacks: 1. Since it definitely contains oils, those with oily or slightly oily skin might find it a bit heavy on their skin. 2. There's a subtle, slightly stuffy cosmetic scent. While not overpowering, if you're sensitive to fragrances, it might be a bit bothersome.
TipIs there such a thing as a miracle product? With proper cleansing methods and ingredients that suit your skin, you can definitely achieve flawless skin. I especially recommend this product if you have dry skin.

Despite its lightweight formula, I didn't expect much hydration, but I was pleasantly surprised how it filled in deep dryness without any stickiness. When applied right after cleansing, there was zero tightness until I put on cream. It seems to refine skin texture nicely too.
ConsThe scent might be polarizing for some. It's an artificial fragrance trying to mimic nature, which I found a bit off-putting. Apart from the scent, I had no complaints!
TipFor best results, first wipe with a soaked cotton pad, then pat the remaining product into your skin with your palms. You'll experience absolutely no deep dryness!

It's incredibly hydrating! After the 7-skin routine, my skin feels as moisturized as if I'd applied toner, serum, and ampoule all at once. Stickiness □□□□□ As a hydrating toner, it's not sticky at all. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling fresh. When used for the 7-skin method, it fills the skin with moisture, giving it a plump, bouncy feel. Soothing effect ■■■■□ The soothing effect is great. I apply it using the 7-skin method before putting on a modeling mask in the evening, and I've noticed it calms my skin more effectively than other soothing or hydrating ampoules. Skin irritation ■■■□□ It's not consistent, but sometimes I feel a slight burning sensation after application. However, I haven't experienced any breakouts or other symptoms. Just occasional mild irritation. Scent ■■□□□ Personally, I'm not a fan of the scent - it reminds me of men's skincare products. It's not bad enough to make it unusable, just not my preferred fragrance... haha Texture The texture is very fluid, similar to water.
ConsScent The artificial fragrance reminds me of men's skincare products, which I didn't like. However, scent preferences vary from person to person, so it might not bother those who aren't sensitive to fragrances. I'm not particularly sensitive myself, so after initially thinking 'what's this smell?', I don't pay much attention to it now. Irritation There's a slight burning sensation, especially on areas prone to blemishes. It doesn't cause breakouts, but the tingling is noticeable. If you have more sensitive skin than mine, it's best to carefully check the ingredients for any potential irritants before purchasing.
TipI use this for the 7-skin method before applying a modeling mask, practically 'marinating' my skin in it, and it's absolutely amazing for soothing! My skin condition was terrible due to wearing masks, with a noticeable difference between workdays and days off. I always use a modeling mask after work, applying a soothing ampoule or hydrating ampoule beforehand. Previously, I felt the improvement was mainly due to the modeling mask itself, without much synergy from the ampoules. But when I apply this toner beforehand, the synergistic effect is incredible! Being a toner, you can apply it generously without feeling heavy (except for the occasional tingling). While I used to have small bumps after using the modeling mask alone, when I use this toner before the mask, even larger blemishes seem to shrink! I highly recommend using this before a modeling mask!!!

Whether it coincided with a calming phase or not, this product had a soothing effect! After applying it and waking up the next day, I noticed my redness had disappeared and my face had a beautiful glow. This has never happened before, so I'm absolutely thrilled! It has a slightly viscous, watery texture (like thin mucus(?)) and while I usually prefer lightweight products, I enjoyed how this felt moisturizing without being sticky! It's hydrating enough that even those with normal to dry skin could use it alone without issues, and those with normal to oily skin will find it comfortable without any stickiness. I'll mention the scent in the cons section as it's not fragrance-free, unfortunately. + The photo below shows my skin after the redness has completely subsided and my blemishes have calmed down significantly. Please take a look for reference!
ConsThe fragrance is really disappointing. It smells like my dad's cologne lol! You know that scent that many men commonly use? That's exactly what it smells like. However, it's not headache-inducing and dissipates quickly after application, so only those with very sensitive noses might want to avoid it.
TipI recommend trying an exfoliating toner. Somehow, when I take selfies now, my skin looks better and has a healthier, hydrated glow!

No eye irritation, leaves skin feeling soft, absorbs quickly, and has a pleasant scent. I absolutely loved it! First off, it feels moisturizing yet non-greasy on the face and absorbs rapidly, which I really liked. I have ingrown hairs on my legs, and when I applied it after grooming or on small cuts, it helped soothe the area quickly! Also, when applied to the legs with a cotton pad, once it dries, it leaves the skin incredibly soft and smooth. My legs become super silky... Though it's meant for the face, I actually used it more on my legs!
ConsWell, I liked it, but some people might find the scent reminiscent of men's skincare products! I personally enjoy that kind of fragrance, so it was fine for me. It has a somewhat unisex scent.
TipAs I mentioned in the positives, for those with ingrown hairs, try applying it to your legs with a cotton pad. It works wonders!

I was surprised by how quickly it absorbs when applied. It felt somewhat moisturizing, and I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my complexion seems to look brighter.
ConsIn all my years of using cosmetics, I've never disliked a product because of its scent until now... I can't stand this one, unfortunately. It smells like a mix of old-fashioned men's toner and mule. I used it consistently because I won it in an event, but I absolutely won't purchase it again. I'm planning to give what's left to a friend. I'm not usually sensitive to smells. It genuinely smells like when my dad applies toner and emulsion at the barbershop in a sauna.
TipThe formula is extremely watery, so I used it with the 7-skin method. Applying it normally feels a bit wasteful.

The level of hydration seems appropriate for a year-round toner. Packaging: This might sound funny, but I really liked the packaging! It's white with a transparent design, making it easy to check how much product is left. The simplicity makes it quite attractive.
ConsScent: As someone who's a bit sensitive to cosmetic fragrances, I found the scent slightly bothersome. It's more of a typical 'cosmetic scent' rather than a true chamomile fragrance. If you're very sensitive to scents, you might want to keep this in mind.
TipFor an easy DIY mask effect, generously soak a double-layered, sponge-textured cotton pad and place it on your cheeks until fully absorbed. The product has just the right amount of hydration, so you can use it without worry.

My skin type is oily with dehydration, sensitive, and prone to redness. Due to my sensitive skin, I usually experience blemishes when switching products and it takes time to adapt. After using this product, I was half worried, half excited... afraid of potential blemishes. But surprisingly, I noticed my skin calming down immediately after application. I usually use water-based exfoliating toners like Torriden Dive-In, but those alone weren't enough to soothe blemishes during my period or when my skin wasn't at its best. However, this toner, perhaps due to its chamomile content, seemed to calm the redness and inflammation of blemishes when used after my regular exfoliating toner. That's when I realized that skincare products need to be applied differently depending on skin condition for best results! As for the texture, the toner's consistency is similar to a runny essence. Unlike water-based exfoliating toners, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after application, but instead gives a hydrating sensation. There might be a slight stickiness initially, but it absorbs well over time. This stickiness doesn't seem to cause any blemishes. I'd recommend this toner to those who've been sticking to water-based exfoliating toners due to blemish concerns. I'm very satisfied as my skin is becoming smoother and brighter with daily exfoliation using this toner.
ConsRegarding the scent - as mentioned above, I'm very satisfied and will continue using this product. However, when you first use it, you might be surprised by the fragrance. It has a subtle masculine skincare scent. It's not overpowering, so it's not off-putting, and you get used to it with continued use. If you've only used fragrance-free water-based exfoliating toners before, you might notice it like I did.
TipA helpful tip - When blemishes appear, try using this as a toner mask for 10-15 minutes. It helps reduce redness and calm blemishes. I found it more effective than water-based exfoliating toner masks and was very satisfied. I think this would be great for those with sensitive skin who stress about blemishes like me.

Here's my review after using it twice daily for a week: It's not a completely watery toner, but has a slight viscosity. This means it's quite hydrating and moisturizing. Those with very oily skin might find it suitable to use on its own! The absorption is also pretty good. My skin is super sensitive and usually reacts quickly to products that don't suit it, but this one was fine. No blemishes, no redness, no itching. The ingredients seem to be good, making it suitable for sensitive skin types too.
ConsThere's a slight scent to it. I thought it was unscented, but there's a very faint smell. To me, it wasn't a pleasant fragrance - it's somewhat artificial, reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics. While it's not unbearable, I think the scent could be quite divisive.

ConsThe scent reminds me of men's skincare products. I was a bit put off when I first applied it, but after absorption, the fragrance becomes subtle and tolerable. However, I'm puzzled why they chose this particular scent. Aside from the fragrance, I didn't experience any blemishes or other issues!
TipIt's great to keep in the fridge and use chilled to help lower skin temperature. Works well as an exfoliating toner when applied generously with a cotton pad, and it's also fine to pat it in with your hands.
