I haven't found any particular drawbacks while using it so far.

I loved that it wasn't too sticky and provided plenty of hydration. It seems perfect for those with combination dehydrated skin like me.

바이옴 베리어 토너

While it's satisfactory, there's nothing to complain about. However, I probably won't repurchase it.

It's decent enough to use. There weren't any major drawbacks, but nothing particularly impressive either.

No immediate dramatic effects. It seems like consistent use over time is necessary to see results.

Applies gently and feels refreshing. The lightweight toner formula absorbs quickly into the skin and maintains hydration for a long time. The gentle ingredients make it a great gift option as well.

However, I'm using a sample size, and even though the opening is small, it tends to come out in big gushes. Too much product comes out at once, haha!

This isn't just like a regular toner that feels like water. It has a slight viscosity to it. I absolutely love this stuff!

There weren't really any significant drawbacks that I can think of, so I don't have much to say in terms of negatives.

It absorbs beautifully with a lovely moisturizing feel. The hydration isn't just temporary - it seems to last quite a while after application.

When using it with cotton pads, the product gets used up quickly, and it feels a bit on the expensive side.

I'm using this as an exfoliating toner on a cotton pad as the first step in my skincare routine. My sebum production has significantly decreased! I used to have a lot of rough, bumpy texture, but it's mostly gone now.

Personally, I don't find the scent bothersome, but some people might not like it.

Despite being a water-based toner, it's not too heavy for layering and gently exfoliates dead skin cells without irritation. It's occasionally available in buy-one-get-one-free deals, making it great value for money!

It's a toner you can use casually without much thought. Pretty average overall.

A decent exfoliating toner that also works well as an astringent. Not sure about its value for money though.

Nothing special to add! Just soak a cotton pad generously, gently wipe your face, pay extra attention to areas prone to dead skin cell buildup with gentle circular motions, then pat to absorb. The product is so effective that you don't need any special techniques - it works great on its own!

Just one downside... the price. Since I use it as an exfoliating toner, I go through it quite quickly. The volume is small, and it's not particularly cheap for the amount you get.

You absolutely must try this! Use it twice, use it consistently! My skin was a complete mess - extremely oily with acne, blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells, and deep dryness. I used to just use any decent large-volume exfoliating toner. My skin was constantly flaking, so I frequently exfoliated, which was too harsh. While searching for a gentle exfoliator, I started using this toner. Despite having exfoliating ingredients, it wasn't irritating at all and felt hydrating - I was almost disappointed, thinking it wouldn't exfoliate! I used it casually, planning to switch soon, but then my makeup started applying better, I stopped breaking out, and my skin texture improved dramatically. People even commented on my skin's glow! I thought it was just because I was eating and sleeping well, so after finishing a bottle, I switched to something else. My skin immediately went haywire again! On a hunch, I went back to this toner, and within a week, my blemishes were almost gone, my skin was hydrated without flakiness, and my texture was revived. Wow, it was you all along! I'm now loyal to this toner and on my third bottle. Honestly, it's the best toner I've ever used. You absolutely must try it!

Unfortunately, as time passes after opening, it seems to lose that initial bouncy texture. I can't help but wonder if the microbiome in the product dies off over time. Is it just my imagination?

When I first used this toner, I was incredibly impressed by its rich, bouncy texture. It's perfect for daily use and works well as a staple in any skincare routine.

While it's marketed as an exfoliating toner,
I didn't really notice any effects on dead skin cells..!

1. It leaves my skin incredibly hydrated without any residue.
2. Although it's a water-based toner, you can feel a slight richness to it.
It's an excellent product for layering!
I think this is what they mean by a perfect oil and moisture balance!
Compared to exfoliating toners or sheet masks, applying this slowly layer by layer
seems to deeply hydrate my skin from within.

I kept it in the fridge and applied it cold. First, I wiped it on with a cotton pad, and for the second layer, I patted it in with my hands.

There's not really anything to complain about. Maybe just that UIIK promotes this as an essence to be patted on instead of a toner... haha!

I have dry skin with deep dryness issues.

I kept this in the fridge and used it as an essence after cleansing. The texture isn't completely watery, but has a slight viscosity to it. It seemed to balance the oil and moisture in my skin, and with its quick absorption, there was no unpleasant sticky residue! However, one application didn't quite address my deep dryness, so I ended up patting it on about twice.

While you might think it's just another hydrating essence that sinks into the skin and moisturizes, I could actually feel it tackling dead skin cells and refining my skin texture. It felt comfortable to apply without any tingling sensation.

I'm quite interested in skincare with bio-ingredients and have tried various products, but I was so satisfied with this one that I want to stock up on it!
