I used to love Innisfree's discontinued Green Barley Peeling Toner years ago. After it was discontinued, I tried many products but wasn't satisfied with any, becoming a skincare nomad. Then, by chance, I saw this product recommended in the Hwahae comments and bought it skeptically. It was worth all my searching! I don't get pustular acne, but I often get small, bumpy blemishes, so I need exfoliation. However, my sensitive skin can't handle harsh physical exfoliants. I've been looking for a gentle skincare product that manages dead skin cells while providing hydration and moisture. This toner fits the bill perfectly, and I'm very pleased with its volume and price point too. I also tried the serum and cream samples they provided, and many of them were quite good. I believe this is my first time using S Nature products, and I'm impressed by how many quality items they have. I plan to stock up on this toner and try some of their other products as well.
There are no downsides at all. I may need to use it longer, but I don't expect to find any issues in the future.
The consistency isn't too runny, so if you leave it on with a cotton pad for 2-3 minutes before applying makeup, it helps remove dead skin cells and ensures your makeup goes on smoothly without pilling.
