It's so hydrating that when I apply it, I take a deep breath to enjoy the scent. It feels wonderfully moisturizing. I usually apply it twice.
ConsI'm extremely sensitive to fragrances, so I assumed it would be unscented since it doesn't contain added perfumes. Surprisingly, it does have a scent. The silver lining is that it's not an artificial fragrance, but rather a natural aroma from the ingredients. Thankfully, the scent doesn't linger after application.

I used it with peace of mind since it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients. It has a transparent, water-like texture, but when applied, it feels slightly elastic. Perhaps because of this, unlike other toners that evaporate quickly, I liked that it provided a noticeable hydration. It gives a sense of protecting the skin barrier?
ConsThere's a slight herbal scent... a natural fragrance, which is much better than artificial fragrances! After application, the scent dissipates quickly, so it's not really bothersome.
TipI applied it by patting it on with my hands instead of using a cotton pad. Personally, I think applying it with hands is more effective given its texture. It feels a bit like applying your dad's aftershave...haha!

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!

As someone with dry skin, I appreciate its rich texture. My skin gets extremely dry in winter and fall, and while it usually improves in summer, this year has been different due to constant exposure to fans and air conditioning. This toner feels like it's enveloping my skin with hydration, which is great. When applying, it initially feels a bit slippery but absorbs quickly. The toner is so nourishing that I don't even need to use a separate essence. This summer has been incredibly hot, so I've been using just this toner followed by a hydrating moisturizer. The packaging is also lovely. While it's plastic, which is a bit disappointing, the design is simple and the frosted, opaque case is really beautiful. It's light and easy to pack for travel. The dispenser allows you to control the amount you use, unlike other runny toners that often dispense too much. As someone with super sensitive skin, I've had issues with many products, but this one has been gentle with no blemishes so far. I highly recommend this for those with dry skin.
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant, but fortunately it's not strong and dissipates quickly. The toner has a rich texture, which can feel slightly sticky for about 5 seconds right after application. This stickiness goes away after applying other products or waiting briefly, but if you're someone who dislikes even the slightest sticky feeling, this might not be for you.
TipIf you're experiencing intense dryness and find it challenging to apply emulsions or creams, try layering this toner three times with 3-minute intervals between applications. It provides ample hydration.

It feels more in line with the product's essence. - Even after applying just this product post-cleansing, I could definitely feel it replenishing my skin's hydration. + Day 5 Review - I've been using it without any issues like blemishes or irritation. It definitely feels like a gentle product.
Cons<Day 1 Review> - The texture feels slightly sticky rather than light and refreshing. It might vary for different people, but to me it felt more sticky than bouncy. - There's a floral scent, but I didn't like it as much as I expected. The smell dissipates quickly, but it's the kind of fragrance that might be hit or miss. + Day 5 Review - I didn't really notice any calming effects on my skin.
TipI tried applying it both with my hands and with a cotton pad, and I preferred using the cotton pad. Saturating a cotton pad and applying it that way improved both the absorption and effectiveness!

It clings to your hands when you touch your face! Compared to other high-quality toners I've tried (from brands like Dok*, Etude*, etc.), this feels more nourishing ✦ Hydration longevity: Even when used alone, my skin didn't feel dry or tight. I used it by itself in the evening, and I could still feel the hydration when I woke up! ✦ Skin improvement: I'm prone to redness, and while it's only been a week so I can't speak to improvements yet, I haven't had any blemishes! As someone with super sensitive skin that often reacts even to natural, high-quality products, this is such a relief ✦ Packaging: While the plastic container is a bit disappointing, the design is clean and lightweight. It's also easy to control the amount dispensed
ConsThe ingredients and feel are truly excellent, but the one thing that made me deduct a star is the scent. I expected it to be fragrance-free since no fragrance is listed in the ingredients, but there is a subtle aroma. It's not a simple floral scent, but rather a faint yet powerful smell reminiscent of men's aftershave or cologne. It was quite challenging to use for a week. The one saving grace is that for about a day, there was no scent. Interestingly, the scent doesn't linger long. You just need to endure it during application. If it weren't for the unpleasant fragrance, I would highly recommend this product!
TipI think it would be great to use with a mist sprayer! It might help the hydration last even longer.

I simply swapped out my usual toner for this one in my skincare routine. My skin is normal but prone to blemishes due to excess dead skin cells. 1. Hydration Despite its watery consistency, I was pleasantly surprised by how hydrating it felt. When applied, it leaves a slightly slick, moisturizing layer on the skin. Don't worry though - it doesn't pill or fail to absorb! A few gentle pats and it sinks right in, leaving your skin feeling hydrated. 2. Gentle Formula I received this product during a time when my skin was super sensitive. I was worried about trying a new product and potentially making things worse. Thankfully, over the two weeks of use, I didn't experience any new blemishes or allergic reactions.
Cons1. Fragrance The scent might be polarizing - it caught me off guard at first. It's reminiscent of a mature cologne, with notes of musk, wood, and floral undertones. While I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances and can tolerate it, those who are might find it off-putting. The silver lining is that the scent is only strong upon initial application and dissipates quickly. 2. Slight Richness Given the oil content in the ingredients, it feels a bit heavier rather than light and fresh. This might be a concern for those with oily skin types.
