It has a water-like flowing texture - it's literally like water! Whether your skin is good or bad, it tackles deep dryness and absorbs well. With consistent use, I feel my skin becoming clearer and my complexion improving. As someone with super oily skin, it's perfect as the first step in skincare, leaving a refreshingly light feel. I can't even look at other toners - I always come back to this essence.
ConsThe only downside is the price, but it's a product I simply can't give up. It's that good!
TipIt's not great to use with a cotton pad. The best method is to apply it by gently patting it in with your palms. It's also great to spread it on generously before using a sheet mask. Even when my skin is irritated, applying this gives a soothing sensation.

Having sensitive, blemish-prone combination dehydrated skin makes it challenging to find suitable cosmetics. I still get occasional breakouts, so I'm hesitant to try functional products, and I'm usually too busy using soothing products to even attempt anything else. I've had mixed experiences with fermented cosmetics, some good and some bad, which made me wary. But as I've gotten older and noticed my complexion becoming duller, I longed for the radiant skin I had when fermented products worked well for me. So, I decided to give it another try after a long time. After just a week of use, I can feel my skin becoming more translucent and my complexion brighter. It's been so long since I've experienced this, the difference is really noticeable. (It feels like my skin tone has brightened by half a shade) It has a very watery consistency and absorbs quickly, feeling lightweight, yet it keeps my skin hydrated for a long time. (It feels more like inner hydration rather than surface-level moisture you get from essences or emulsions) I'm usually satisfied if a product doesn't cause breakouts, but this one improves my skin texture, complexion, and provides deep hydration - I'm absolutely thrilled with it. I've wanted to use vitamin products but was afraid of blemishes. This product might be the best brightening option I can use. I've tried various brands from SK-II to its dupes, but most didn't suit me except for one. The IOPE Bio line not only works well for me but also shows the most impressive results. I hope they start actively marketing this again so it doesn't get discontinued!
ConsApart from the price, there's nothing to complain about. I'm extremely satisfied with the product's effectiveness.

A true holy grail - I've emptied at least five bottles. It leaves your skin hydrated and brightens your complexion, giving a translucent effect!!! Highly recommended for those who dislike sticky toners and prefer clean, watery formulas. Just note, it might be a bit drying in winter!
ConsWith each reformulation, it seems to get slightly more drying... Though maybe it's just my skin aging along with the product updates.

While it's not exceptionally hydrating, layering it 2-3 times noticeably brightens my complexion. Suddenly, my skin looks so clear and radiant - it's all thanks to this product! 2. It works wonders as a makeup base. It must have some boosting effect because when I apply other skincare products over it, they glide on smoothly. It's irreplaceable. 3. Using it as a skin pack feels a bit extravagant, but the results are incredible! The particles are so fine and gentle, it feels like they're penetrating deep into the skin.
ConsThe price is a bit steep... However, you can occasionally find it on sale for around $30 at certain retailers.
TipLayer it 2-3 times, and in winter, finish with other watery toners, essences, and creams for extra hydration.

I've been using it as a mist for my dry skin, and it seems to have improved my complexion. My skin looks a shade brighter!
ConsWhile it's on the pricier side, I feel like the results justify the cost. It's really helping to boost my skin's hydration levels.

It was as if my skin tone brightened slightly. That's the impression I got.
ConsThe formula is extremely watery, almost like pure water, so it tends to run. I wonder if it might be better if the consistency was a bit thicker.

The water-like texture absorbs quickly without feeling heavy. You can use it alone after toner for a light finish, or layer another moisturizer on top for extra hydration. After using this, my skin texture improved and my complexion became clearer.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, except maybe the heavy packaging...?
TipIt's suitable for all skin types and can be applied morning and night without any issues.
