It seems that I will need a different toner since it is not an absorbent toner.

I have a dry skin type and use it for exfoliating care.
Soaking a cotton pad with toner and gently wiping areas with a lot of whiteheads like under the chin makes them quite soft.

파하 퍼스트 토너

I definitely had an allergic reaction to this product, so I'm in the process of comparing its ingredients with those in products I've used before to identify the cause...

I might be the only one, but when I used it as an exfoliating toner on 4/7, avoiding the eye area, I developed redness and irritation on all areas except around the eyes. The redness hasn't subsided even until 4/28. It's really severe. I strongly advise those with super sensitive skin to carefully examine the ingredients

The exfoliating toner method seemed convenient and easy to use

To avoid dryness, apply toner immediately after washing your face. I layer it two or three times, and it absorbs well without being sticky. Since it has exfoliating ingredients, I alternate it with other toners rather than using this one exclusively.

It didn't cause any blemishes, but it does sting a bit if it touches any cuts. I think it would work well for those who don't have sensitive skin!

I bought this for dead skin cells, and it has great absorption. It absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling soft. However, since it contains PHA, it might be sensitive for those with super sensitive skin.

After using this, it's essential to follow up with a hydrating ampoule to replenish moisture!

It can be a bit drying, and since it's an exfoliant, you shouldn't leave it on for too long even if it claims to be non-irritating. You know exfoliating toners aren't great, right? To avoid scratching your skin, it's best to saturate a cotton pad with as much product as possible, almost to the point of dripping, and then let it absorb into your skin.

Skin type: Rarely develops pustular acne, but skin becomes dry quickly if nothing is applied. Develops small bumps that seem to rise from within - these are hard to extract and can turn into pustules if squeezed. I usually wait until they're ripe, then prick and remove them with tweezers. This often leaves acne scars... I've tried various dermatological treatments, but nothing seemed to work. For those small bumps, exfoliation is recommended. I've tried peeling gels like Pree* and Doc* but the bumps kept appearing, which was frustrating. I bought this PHA toner and the accompanying PHA soap. At first, I didn't see much effect and thought I'd wasted my money, but with consistent use, the bumps gradually decreased. It gently dissolves dead skin cells, allowing for better sebum excretion, which seems to be why the bumps are disappearing. In conclusion: Thanks to this product, I've got those pesky bumps under control. I hope they don't discontinue it!

Absolutely nothing negative to say. Great value for money with a generous amount. Everything about it is fantastic. Highly recommended!

The quintessential basic skincare item. Lovely scent, absorbs well, and excellent for soothing the skin. When I need to apply makeup, it provides a smooth base - perfect!

There aren't any drawbacks, it's all positives. If I had to mention something... it would be the price and quantity.

It gently exfoliates dead skin cells while providing intense hydration, even for my extremely dry skin. There's no irritation after use.

So far, I haven't really found anything particularly disappointing about it

I felt it helped with exfoliation, and after using this, my blemishes decreased

For best results, apply it with a cotton pad to wipe your face, then take a small amount and let it absorb into your skin.

Nothing bad to say. I love everything about it - the scent is pleasant, the texture is great, and it works wonders. Simply fantastic!

This is an essential for my combination dehydrated skin. My face is tricky when it comes to balancing oil and moisture, but without this, I break out, and with it, I don't. That's how precious it is to me... Unlike AHA/BHA scrubs, it's not too harsh for daily use, making it a must-have in my routine.

There was a time when I blindly trusted Isoi and bought this along with a few other products, but none of them worked for me. Instead of calming my skin, it caused irritation and was quite disappointing. What a waste of money...

I honestly have no clue... I really, really, really don't know!

The most disappointing thing is that it's only sold on the official website and there are no promotions for this product

When applied, it calms dead skin cells and moisturizes, making makeup adhere beautifully

Feels like oil rises to the surface after application. Seems to contain ingredients that don't agree with my skin, causing itchiness.

Great hydration. Helps remove dead skin cells. Leaves a subtle, fruity fragrance.

I recommend applying it directly rather than using cotton pads!

Those with sensitive skin (especially if you have allergies) should be careful. While it's my fault for not thoroughly checking the ingredients before buying, I have allergy-prone skin that gets itchy when using incompatible products. Though it's not severe, this reaction prevents me from making this toner a staple in my routine.

It seems to be really effective for sebum control! I noticed that my sebum production has slightly decreased compared to before.
