The scent is like 'dad skin'? It has a herbal aroma. When applied, it feels like a burst of hydration. For those who find skincare tedious, this toner and emulsion combo should be sufficient.
ConsIt contains fragrance. It has that typical 'men's cosmetics' smell. While I'm not overly concerned about fragrances, I think it's time for men's skincare products to move away from this kind of scent.

ConsThe scent reminds me of old-school men's cologne, which is a bit disappointing

Hydration As it's a moisturizing toner, the texture feels like thin mucus when touched. It has a gel-like water consistency with high moisture content. 2. Moisturizing Being a hydration-rich toner, it gives a sensation of laying a layer of moisture on your face when applied. It feels deeply hydrating. This could be an excellent solution for rough and parched skin. 3. Non-sticky The product is less sticky compared to others. While it's not completely watery like some toners, you can apply it smoothly without any stickiness. 4. Absorption Compared to my regular toner at home, this one has a thinner consistency with higher moisture content, allowing it to be absorbed quickly into the skin. 5. Blemish-friendly As someone with super sensitive skin, I found it non-irritating and gentle to apply. It's less burdensome for those with sensitive skin.
Cons1. Scent Perhaps because it's a men's cosmetic product, it has that typical men's skincare smell. While it's not overpowering, it's not a luxurious fragrance either. It smells like bathroom toiletries... 2. Application feel Due to its watery consistency and quick absorption, the feeling of application is subtle, which may lead you to apply multiple layers.
TipThis product seems perfect for those with very dry skin or super sensitive skin.

For context, my skin is combination dehydrated - oily in the T-zone but dry elsewhere. Plus, I have super sensitive skin prone to blemishes, which tend to flare up in summer. Now, let's dive into the review! I used this product twice daily for about two weeks, except on weekends when I follow a different routine with exfoliation and intense hydration. Application: Upon applying, you instantly feel a boost of hydration and a firming effect. The texture reminds me of a high-end women's skincare product. It's not sticky at all. I used it after a light toner, almost like an essence in my routine. Scent: It has a sophisticated, masculine fragrance reminiscent of classic men's skincare, but much subtler - about a third of the intensity. Personally, I quite like it. Ingredients: Looking closely, it's a safe bet for sensitive skin. Apart from the fragrance, the ingredient list is impressive. Given that it didn't trigger any blemishes on my sensitive, combination skin, it seems trustworthy (though results may vary). Overall: Great scent, good product, skin-friendly ingredients, and a matte finish... The only downside is that it's a bit pricey for the amount you get. It would be perfect to stock up on during sales. If you find serums or essences overwhelming, this could be a great alternative. It works well after a watery toner, and in winter, following up with a moisturizing cream would be ideal. I pair it with Dr.G Soothing Cream or Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream.
ConsI didn't find any major drawbacks. However, if you're looking for a watery toner with a neutral scent, this might not be the best fit. As mentioned, it does have that classic men's skincare fragrance.
TipFor best results, follow this product with a light emulsion or cream with a lightweight texture.

The runny toner texture was gentle enough to use even after shaving without any issues. * Improves skin texture Thanks to its mild ingredients and excellent soothing properties, it really helped refine my skin texture. Whether I applied it with my hands or used a cotton pad, the results were great. The subtle Inner Glow that emerged seemed to be a result of the improved skin texture. * Ingredients Many men's products often neglect ingredient quality, but this one shattered that stereotype. It was a great opportunity to experience a product with high-quality ingredients at a reasonable price point.
Cons** Fragrance The fragrance was the most disappointing aspect of this product. Like many men's toners, it has that typical 'old-school aftershave' scent that can be off-putting. While the product itself is cooling and effective, the strong scent was almost dizzying. If there are plans for a reformulation, I'd recommend either changing the fragrance or going fragrance-free. Many competitors in the market are now offering products with more thoughtful fragrance choices.

Even with skincare products known for good ingredients, I can get blemishes if I'm unlucky. <2-Week Usage Routine> (Cleansing oil every 2 days) - Cleansing foam - Exfoliating toner - Tea pit toner - (On dry days: Add cream) Texture: Feels slightly viscous but applies smoothly. (A bit sticky right after application, but that feeling soon disappears) Hydration: In fall and winter, I'll need to use it with a cream, but it should be fine for spring and summer. Ingredients: After consistent use for 2 weeks, there were no particular issues, so it seems suitable even for those with sensitive skin. Value for money: While not particularly cheap for its volume, I think a little goes a long way.
Cons"Scent" It has an overly honest men's locker room skincare smell. Being sensitive to fragrances, I was quite surprised when I first applied it, and hesitated every time I used it afterwards.
TipPersonally, while I find the scent uncomfortable and already have a product I use, I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it. However, aside from the fragrance, I think it's a pretty good product, so it might not be a bad idea to try it once.

As I go to the gym, the long and slim container was convenient to carry in my bag.
ConsThe price seems a bit high for the amount you get. The most disappointing aspect was the scent - it has that strong, typical men's skincare fragrance. Even as a man, I found the intense smell quite off-putting. There's also the concern that fragrances can affect skin health. Fortunately, the scent dissipates quickly once the product absorbs.

ConsWhile the scent isn't bothersome and it's generally comfortable to use, there's a bit of an artificial feel to it. Given the current trend of removing fragrances from skincare products, it would be great if they could eliminate it.

After using this product for two weeks, I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced any blemishes at all. The hydration and absorption are quite impressive, providing a nice texture without any stickiness or dryness. Considering its performance and price point, I'd say this is a pretty good toner.
ConsThe fragrance is the main drawback for me. Despite being a man, I'm extremely sensitive to scents, and this toner has that typical 'men's skincare' smell that's quite strong. It's not necessarily unpleasant or off-putting, but it does have a somewhat chemical scent. Personally, I think an unscented version or one with a lighter fragrance would be preferable.
TipIn my opinion, an exfoliating toner is always the way to go. Even if it's a bit of a hassle, I recommend buying some cotton pads and trying the Homme Black Essential Toner as an exfoliating toner. You'll be amazed at how your complexion improves over time. Trust me, there's a significant difference between just applying the product with your hands and using it as an exfoliating toner.
