When I use products with slightly irritating ingredients or functional cosmetics, my skin is highly likely to get inflamed. And since I have oily skin, if I use products that are too moisturizing and greasy, I get terrible acne. My skin is a lost cause... So I've tried a lot of toners with good ingredients for sensitive skin. (Dokdo Skin, Izza&Tree, Cynic, The Lab by Blanc Dou, Innisfree, etc.) The Huxley Combucha Skin feels similar in performance to those toners, but the organic ingredients are a big plus. Of course, my skin didn't get inflamed, and it felt nicely moisturized without being too greasy, so the user experience was really good. I'll break it down by category: 1. Texture It's somewhere between a watery skin and a regular toner. The texture is similar to Izza&Tree, but I personally dislike the lightweight, slippery feel of Izza&Tree products... The Combucha Toner doesn't feel slippery at all and has a nice, absorbent viscosity. 2. Ingredients Excellent. There are many good skincare products, but this is one of the first brands I've seen that uses organic raw materials. Both are listed as sensitive, but since they're natural extracts, individual reactions may vary. I was fine with it! 3. Hydration, Lasting Power Before the Combucha Toner, I was using The Lab by Blanc Dou, and I couldn't really tell a difference in hydration and lasting power. Both leave a clean, moisturized feel without being excessive. (I use the Combucha Toner -> Dokdo Lotion, and occasionally just Physiogel on dry areas, and it seems to balance my oil and moisture well.) 4. Packaging The packaging is really pretty, simple, and gives a warm feel. It can even add a decorative touch on your vanity. It's the prettiest packaging I've seen among the products I've tried. But as others have mentioned, the glass makes it a bit heavy.
ConsHmm... In my opinion, the fragrance is the Achilles' heel. It excels in all other areas, and the ingredients are great, but the fragrance is a bit disappointing. The moment you apply it, a strong and distinctive aroma hits you, and if you keep smelling it, it might make you feel a bit nauseous. However, the fragrance doesn't linger for long and fades quickly. It's not a dealbreaker, but more of a letdown. I'm quite used to fragrance-free cosmetics, so the scent is a bit off-putting to me.
TipIn conclusion, this toner is a great match for my atopic, sensitive, and oily skin. It's gentle and works well. If the fragrance was improved, I would definitely consider purchasing it!

I apply this in the morning before putting on sunscreen when I do my makeup. It's that moisturizing and doesn't feel tight at all. The product is almost watery, and there's no stickiness after application. The bottle design with the toner is sleek and pretty, and the cap has a dispenser that prevents it from pouring out too much, which I really liked. I don't usually have a lot of trouble with breakouts, but if a product is too rich or oily, I tend to get clogged pores and blemishes. But after using this consistently, I didn't experience any new breakouts. My skin also doesn't seem to be flaking or peeling as much after makeup application.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It has a kombucha-like aroma, and every time I dispense it, the smell is quite strong. I'm not particularly sensitive, so it doesn't bother me too much, but those who are more sensitive to scents might find it irritating. However, the smell doesn't linger, and once you've patted it in and it's absorbed, the fragrance goes away!
TipI normally use a skin prescription from a dermatologist, which I apply at night. I used the kombucha product in the mornings. The amount is quite generous, so I even tried using it as a mask, but the formula isn't super saturating like a typical mask. Instead, I just put it in the fridge to keep it cool and used it as a toner in the mornings.

When I use toner, I pat it on with my hands instead of using cotton. While it's not as sticky or tacky, I really like the refreshing feeling! 2. The amount control is really great. The pressed toners weren't suitable for hand application, but unlike the toners that sometimes gush out, the kombucha toner comes out in a nice, stable and hydrating way. I like that there's no waste.๐ 3. The fact that it's a vegan product is a huge plus! There's definitely no irritation, and I applied it directly on some blemishes, but it didn't sting at all, and it sank right in the next day. 4. The finish is so soft and hydrated. It's like the dead skin cells just disappeared. The makeup goes on so well the next day too. The finish is just amazing - it's like a smooth, dewy eggshell skin. The outside is smooth and soft, but the inside is just brimming with moisture.
ConsAt first I wondered if the scent would be too strong, but the moment I applied it... the herbal medicine smell came through๐ It smells like red ginseng. I was debating whether to take off a star, but since I actually like the healthy scent, I gave it five stars! The scent goes away quickly once it's on your face. But for those sensitive to scents, it might be an issue.
TipI apply it with my hands instead of cotton pads, and my skin has definitely improved! Also, if you soak the toner in the fridge and use it like a mask, your makeup will go on so much better the next day๐
