For combating deep dryness, it's fantastic to soak toner pads generously and place them on your cheeks!

I have pretty resilient skin, so I didn't experience any blemishes while using it.
However, since it doesn't absorb super quickly, it's best to use it as a mask with toner pads!

Usage period: 2 months
Skin type: Combination
Recommendation: ★★★★★

I bought this vegan brand Melixir after a friend's recommendation!
It contains green tea extract, giving off a subtle, authentic green tea scent.
While it doesn't absorb instantly into the skin, it quickly sinks in when you gently pat it.
It's better to use with a cotton pad rather than applying directly with hands.
The generous volume lasts about 1-2 months per bottle,
and I love how it helps manage deep dryness after using Melixir toner.
Highly recommended!

비건 밸런싱 토너

There's nothing to dislike about this product. It's truly flawless.

I use this as a pack instead of an exfoliating toner, and I've seen great results when I leave it on for about 15 minutes. It's soothing and doesn't cause any irritation or redness, which I really appreciate.

There's nothing bad to say, really! Oh, occasionally there's a bit of product that gets stuck around the opening of the bottle, but that's about it.

This toner is incredibly soothing and calming for the skin. I've been using this along with the bamboo serum and cream - just a little in summer, but more generously as autumn approaches. It's absolutely wonderful... I'm already on my second bottle of each! The sunscreen is fantastic, and the tinted lip balm and all the other skincare products are simply amazing.

It's a shame the price has gone up, probably due to its growing popularity.

I'm really impressed with the ingredients, and the packaging is so pretty too!

Apart from that, it lacks sufficient hydration during seasonal changes, so you need to apply a barrier cream separately

The green tea extract does a decent job of taming redness

For best results, try soaking a cotton pad with the product and keeping it in the fridge before use!

The price point is a bit steep, which makes it hard to use liberally without feeling guilty.

This seems perfect for those who respond well to green tea. It's particularly effective when you're dealing with severe blemishes! You can even use it as a mask by soaking a cotton pad.

After applying the toner, pat it in several times to ensure proper absorption.

The glass bottle was heavy and difficult to carry around, which was the only downside for me. However, I'm pleased that the packaging has changed for the repurchased product. The absorption rate is slow, so I recommend patting it in several times to help it absorb better! Because it's so watery, it can easily run off, and you need to keep patting it in for better absorption of the next products like essences or serums. There's a significant difference in how well the following skincare products absorb when you pat this toner in versus just applying it normally!

I first discovered this vegan brand when I received a set (toner, cream, sunscreen) as a gift from Hana Bank. After trying the toner, I decided to repurchase it. The gift set came in glass bottles, but the repurchased product is made of Recycled PET, making it much lighter than the glass version.

The ingredient list is pure, consisting of 100% green tea extract. Perhaps due to the absence of other ingredients, the toner has a deep brown color, like strongly brewed green tea. Green tea is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which might explain why the small bumps and blemishes I experienced with other toners disappeared after using this one. The green tea's hydrating effect helps soothe the skin. The toner has a water-like consistency with absolutely no stickiness. To me, it smells like green tea, but my sister says it reminds her of herbal medicine. Either way, the scent isn't off-putting.

The downside is that due to its high-quality ingredients, it has a relatively short shelf life and use-by date.

Even with my dry skin, I found this product delightful to use. It provides ample hydration and serves as an extra step to refine the skin after cleansing. It also helps prevent blemishes. The scent is charming, and it gives your skin a sense of relaxation. It's 100% green tea... I think that's why the ingredients are so beneficial. Melixir seems to be the brand that first became famous for vegan cosmetics, and their branding is excellent. It might be suitable for pregnant women too. The bottle is so pretty that I repurposed it as a flower vase after finishing the product.

Be careful not to get it on white clothes. It doesn't come out easily.

It has a unique scent. The color is quite intense, so I'm a bit concerned it might stain my face.

I use this after cleansing and it's moisturizing without any irritation. I'm enjoying it even more knowing it's a vegan product.

As mentioned above, the biggest drawback is the very off-putting scent.

I like that it seems gentle, but honestly, the smell is really unpleasant. Also, the color gets darker over time, which makes me worry about it staining my face.

I've been using it for about six months, but it hasn't improved the sebum production in my T-zone. I still rely on oil-control products. However, it seems to work well for blemishes.

I have oily skin in my T-zone and sensitive skin that gets red easily elsewhere. This toner has a water-like consistency, so it's not sticky and feels light. It was great for summer use! I usually get a few blemishes when Mother Nature visits, but other than that, I didn't experience any skin issues.

It tends to clog pores with sebum. It doesn't provide adequate hydration.

It's not sticky at all due to its non-viscous texture. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple.
