There's no alcohol scent, and it's far from causing any dryness. I'm using it diligently as a first essence because it effectively combats deep dryness and seems to enhance the absorption of subsequent skincare steps.
ConsThere's nothing to complain about. In fact, this product exceeds my expectations!

But this essence has finally solved that issue! I layer it three times, using small amounts each time, and the hydration lasts so long that I don't even need to use a separate cream or emulsion. This method has also prevented blemishes from appearing. At night, I mix it with retinol. Keep an eye out for sales when you can snag it for around $20 - that's the best time to buy!
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but the packaging could be improved. The bottle tends to tip over easily and sometimes leaks a bit.

Color, Texture & Scent: It's got that classic toner texture, but with a brownish tint - probably due to the ingredients. No overpowering scent though, which is nice. 2. Ingredients, Application & Absorption: I bought it for the hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, perfect for combating deep dryness. The ingredient list is super gentle - not a single red flag in sight! It's quite watery, so it clings to the skin nicely. A few pats with your palms and it absorbs like a dream. 3. Effectiveness: For hydration, it does the job well. I layer on essence and cream after this, so I can't vouch for its solo performance, but I'd definitely be up for another bottle. However, I didn't really notice any brightening effects. But let's be real, expecting that from a toner might be asking too much, so I'm not too fussed about it.
ConsThe lack of noticeable brightening effects when used alone, and maybe the color? But honestly, the color is what it is, can't really complain about that!
TipI usually apply about two layers, gently patting it in with my palms.

It's a medium-textured product, not a completely watery formula. The application is smooth and comfortable. I found it best to use it as a simple absorbing toner, rather than as a cleansing balm or sheet mask. ✔️Hydration As a dry-skinned person, this provided enough hydration on its own during the summer, allowing me to just layer it and move on to my cream. It also helped address some surface dryness in the winter, immediately replenishing moisture after cleansing. ✔️Finish The hydration is great, but there's no stickiness at all. I think those who dislike tackiness will appreciate this. The lack of stickiness also makes it easy to layer. It's fragrance-free and has functional brightening and anti-aging benefits, but without any irritation.
ConsI wouldn't recommend using it as a cleansing balm or sheet mask. The slightly viscous texture means you'd need to use a lot to apply it evenly on cotton pads.

It's quite moisturizing and not only tackles deep dryness but also feels like it creates a protective moisture barrier on the skin, providing excellent hydration. It's perfect for those with dry skin. You can use it comfortably without worrying about blemishes.
ConsIt might be challenging for those with oily skin to use, and even for dry skin types, it could be too heavy during summer months.

I have extremely dry skin and always used to apply essence after a doctor-recommended or water-based toner. I was intrigued by the concept of an essence toner. Initially, it seems watery, but when applied, it has the rich texture of an essence. I typically layer it 2-3 times, and it effectively addresses deep dryness. The ingredients are gentle, there's no artificial fragrance, and the hydration is absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend it! I plan to make this my go-to toner from now on.
ConsWhile the ingredients are great and both the hydration and texture are wonderful, it seems a bit pricey... I'll stock up during sales.

Provides sufficient hydration to combat deep dryness in dry autumn and winter + 200ml volume with sleek, lightweight packaging + Nearly fragrance-free (no artificial scent or typical cosmetic smell, making it comfortable for morning and evening use as the first step in your routine)
Cons- Texture is a bit heavy for use as an exfoliating toner - Although it's an essence toner, it's not quite enough to complete your skincare routine on its own
TipFor best results, gently pat it into your skin to enhance absorption, then layer with a cream or emulsion to lock in maximum hydration

I have super sensitive skin with deep dryness, so I applied this after my 3-skin method, followed by a hydrating essence. Although I usually layer many products, I only used essence skin - essence - cream as a minimum routine with this. It has a runny texture, so you need to pat it in well for proper absorption. I didn't experience any blemishes at all. Apparently, it can soothe, moisturize, brighten, and improve wrinkles all at once. For normal skin types, this should be sufficient as both a toner and essence. I appreciated that the ingredients list is green, allowing for worry-free use.
ConsRather than being a major issue with the product itself, I think I'll need to pay extra attention to hydration due to my skin's severe deep dryness.
TipAs part of The Hwahae Testers, I tried to minimize the number of skincare products I use while testing the Costoq Timeless Essence Skin. My skin suffers from severe deep dryness, and my forehead and cheeks were very dry. However, when I soaked a cotton pad with the essence skin and used it as a mask, it significantly reduced the dryness.

The products I used in summer were starting to make the skin around my lips and cheeks feel increasingly tight and dry. I decided to replace only my exfoliating toner with COSRX Timeless, using it like a pad for 3 minutes, for about two weeks. ❤ Changing just the first step to COSRX made a huge difference - the rough, flaky patches on my skin completely settled down and became smooth :) ❤ The texture isn't too runny, so on suddenly cold nights, I applied it twice. This helped manage dryness without needing additional oil or cream. I'm looking forward to using it in the depths of winter! ❤ For me, the best feature was its almost scentless formula. When it comes to fragrances that might not suit my taste, unscented is the way to go! ❤ I looked up the ingredients after receiving the product and was thrilled to find it's suitable for dry skin, with all ingredients rated EWG green and no concerning components. This definitely boosted my intention to repurchase. ❤ I fell in love with its hydrating power and I'm hoping that maintaining this level of moisture will help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Cons✔️ Personally, I was expecting a slightly thicker consistency for an essence toner, but despite this, it effectively combats deep dryness without any stickiness. I think users will be satisfied regardless of their preferences.
TipWhen I'm busy, I do the '2-skin method', and when I have more time or after my evening cleanse, I always use it as a cotton pad mask. It was really effective for my combination dehydrated skin!
