Doesn't Drip

There's nothing specifically disappointing about it. It's just a decent, reliable product that works well for everyday use.

While it's marketed as an antioxidant toner, I don't particularly notice any major benefits. However, it's a nice, lightweight watery toner that absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky. There's a mild scent, but it's not overpowering. It didn't cause any blemishes on my skin, making it a safe and easy-to-use product.

For longer-lasting moisture, follow up the essence toner with a serum and cream to complete your skincare routine.

However, perhaps due to my extremely dry skin, I felt that this essence toner lacked sufficient hydration. A friend who uses the same product doesn't have dry skin and finds it works well for her.

I usually use essence toners, and I discovered this one while browsing online. After using it for two weeks, I didn't notice significant improvements in my complexion or skin texture. Of course, results may vary from person to person. The product absorbs well, doesn't run, and has a pleasant, non-irritating scent.

It's a toner that my parents, husband, and I all use, so we always keep it stocked

[Skin type: Extremely dry hands, dry feet, extremely dry lips, oily scalp, combination dehydrated facial skin, dry body]
[Complexion 23-24, concerned about makeup settling into under-eye wrinkles, lip line discoloration, brown dark circles, good skin texture but worried about pores, no major blemishes but severe redness on cheekbones]

• It has a fresh scent, suitable for both men and women
• The formula is transparent and lightweight
• Feels cool and hydrating
• Absorbs quickly
• Gives a sensation of deep hydration, with a matte finish on the surface
• No blemishes, redness, or itching experienced
• Visibly brightens complexion, making me reach for it often
• Doesn't interfere with subsequent skincare steps, making it easy to use
• The glass packaging with a patterned lid doesn't look cheap, making it a great gift even for older generations

After using the Antioxidant Toner + Serum, I'm boosting the antioxidant effects with Mamonde's Bakuchiol Cream for some great synergy!

Since it's not too watery, as someone with dry skin, I have no complaints. I layer it twice and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. I'm using it without any issues.

As someone with sensitive and super sensitive skin, I was searching for a vitamin C product. I heard that vitamin derivatives are less irritating, and I remembered having a good experience with Goodal products before. After thorough research, I bought the VNA Antioxidant Ampoule, which came with this toner as a gratis item. I actually purchased it in winter, but thinking it might be too light for my extremely dry skin, I waited until summer to use it. Now, in this season, I'm loving it along with the serum. True to its name as an essence toner, it's not watery but has a slight viscosity - about the consistency of light mucus! While it might be a bit dry for my skin type in winter, it's perfect for summer.

To get the full effect, you should use this product along with the ampoule from the same line. It truly becomes the epitome of firmness. Experience waking up to radiant, glowing skin the next day.

It's a bit disappointing how quickly it absorbs. Using it as a skin pack is not possible.

The moment you apply it, the feeling of it filling your skin is no joke! It absorbs well. Your skin looks plump and smooth.

I tend to use toner quite generously, so it ran out pretty quickly. I wish they'd come out with a larger size option!

The fragrance is lovely! (All V&A cosmetics have wonderful scents.) The packaging is absolutely beautiful!

While I personally enjoy V&A's signature scent, those who prefer unscented products might find the fragrance a bit strong.

As a true devotee of V&A, I've repurchased their Antioxidant cream multiple times. It's no surprise that their Antioxidant Essence Toner is equally trustworthy. True to its name, this essence toner provides deep hydration, absorbs well into the skin, and penetrates quickly with just a gentle massage. After evening cleansing, I apply it twice - once as a toner and again as an essence serum. The lasting moisture and subtle fragrance make me feel pampered. Having used V&A creams and ampoules before, I've grown fond of their unique scent. It's somewhat floral and distinctly different from other brands, instantly lifting my mood. Like other V&A products, it's fantastic as a makeup base. It doesn't cause pilling, instead smoothing out dead skin cells and providing ample hydration for flawless makeup application. My husband and I share it, and even his skin looks clearer and more hydrated. Men are usually more sensitive to strong fragrances, but he actually likes this toner. He says the beautiful design makes him feel well-cared for. We'll definitely be repurchasing to use together!

If you've experienced blemishes with fermented or highly concentrated products before, I'd strongly suggest purchasing a sample to test before committing to the full-size product.

The increase in blackheads made my complexion look dull.
I think this happened because my skin type is prone to blemishes when using fermented or highly concentrated products.

"For those who may not tolerate fermented ingredients well, it's recommended to try a sample first."
"While it didn't improve blackheads or pore condition, it has other benefits."

Product Concept: Antioxidant-rich transparent radiance, featuring excellently fermented medicinal herbs with superior antioxidant properties.

User Skin Type: Sensitive skin prone to clogged pores due to dead skin cell buildup. When cosmetics don't suit the skin, it tends to develop many blackheads leading to blemishes.

Texture, Application, and Function: As a toner, it doesn't effectively manage dead skin cells.
It has a transparent, very lightweight texture with a subtle fragrance.
As an essence, it provides good hydration. While you may need to follow up with a cream, it offers impressive moisturization for an essence. On less dry days, it might be sufficient to use on its own.

For better absorption, dispense some onto your hands, apply it to your face, and gently press it into your skin.

So far, I haven't found anything to complain about! I plan to keep using it consistently.

The texture feels just like water. It has a vitamin-infused scent, and above all, I loved how it left my skin feeling hydrated and moisturized. The formula isn't too heavy, but it definitely delivers on hydration, making it perfect for daily use without any burden.

Apart from being a bit on the pricey side, I don't have any complaints.

The V&A cushion and ampoule worked well for me, so I had a feeling the toner would suit my skin too - and I was right! (For context, I have oily skin with large pores.)

First off, I love the packaging. The box design is elegant, and the bottle shape looks luxurious. I keep it in my bathroom since I apply toner right after cleansing, and it looks absolutely gorgeous there!

The formula is a watery type, but it's not one of those that evaporates instantly. It feels like it contains essence, absorbing quickly with an incredibly light feel. While it sinks in immediately, it doesn't leave my skin dry - you can definitely feel the hydrating ingredients at work. As someone with oily skin, I find the texture perfect. If you have dry skin, you might want to layer it 2-3 times.

This isn't just a toner that refines skin texture; you can feel the active ingredients working. It's almost like a water essence. When I follow up with a light ampoule, my skin feels smooth and perfectly coated. In the evening, I add a cream, but in the morning, I can skip straight to sunscreen after this toner without any tightness, and my makeup applies beautifully.

The scent is a subtle blend of citrus and floral notes, which I really enjoy. It's not overpowering, but refreshing enough to lift my mood during my skincare routine.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this toner. It provides hydration, improves skin texture, and works harmoniously with the rest of my skincare routine. I highly recommend it, especially for those with normal to oily skin.
