Cons
There didn't seem to be any major disappointments, it was fairly uneventful.

When skin is dry, you might need to add an extra moisturizing product in addition to this emulsion

I keep this in my bathroom to use after showering because my face feels so tight! First, I love the large size. After showering, I soak a pad and press it onto my face. It absorbs well, so I just gently pat it in at my vanity before applying my ampoule. Since using Palm Tree products, my makeup doesn't separate, which I'm really happy about!
Cons
The hydration isn't extraordinary, so if your face is very dry, I recommend applying two layers of toner.

I have combination dehydrated skin with a damaged skin barrier and severe deep dryness. ✅ Absorption and texture: It has a watery consistency, and it absorbs well when you gently pat it onto your skin. ✅ Fragrance: The scent is incredibly fresh and pleasant. ✅ Hydration: The hydration is absolutely on point. I've used toners that claimed to be hydrating before, but they just felt like I was splashing water on my face. This is the first toner where I actually felt my skin being replenished with moisture. My skin is very dry, so I usually layer it about five times. With each layer, I can feel the moisture building up, my skin's heat subsiding, and my skin becoming more elastic. ✅ Soothing and regenerating: I've always had issues with tiny bumps on my skin. After establishing a proper cleansing routine, most of them disappeared, but a few remained, and they would flare up whenever my skin condition worsened. When that happens, I cleanse, do some spot exfoliation, and then hydrate with this toner. The next day, the bumps noticeably subside or disappear completely. When my skin is in really bad shape, I layer this toner generously, trusting it to work its magic, and it never fails to deliver results. I've been using it exclusively for a month, changing nothing else in my routine, and I absolutely love it. When I touch my face while washing or applying sunscreen, what used to feel like a bumpy, unpaved road now feels like smooth asphalt. It's like my quality of life has skyrocketed! ✅ Recommended for: I recommend it for dry, combination dehydrated, oily, and barrier-damaged skin. I'd recommend it to everyone. I used it together with a family member who has extremely oily, blemish-prone skin, and it helped reduce their blemishes and lock in moisture just like it did for me. I've found my holy grail toner!
Cons
There wasn't a single thing I disliked about it. I couldn't find any downsides!

This toner was pretty decent and easy to use. It wasn't particularly irritating to my skin.
Cons
I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as hydrating as I'd hoped, but that might be because my skin is becoming drier.

I loved that it's not just a simple water toner, but has a slightly slippery texture. It's great that the toner ingredients are free from harmful substances. It helps balance oil and moisture levels while improving blemishes and skin texture! I used to rely more on serums or ampoules than toners, but after using this, toner has become an essential part of my skincare routine.
Cons
Hmm, there's nothing really disappointing about it. If I had to mention something, it might be the slightly hefty price tag.
Tip
I particularly enjoyed using this product as a sheet mask and in a foam container as a bubble toner. For those with super sensitive skin like mine who are prone to irritation, I highly recommend using it with a foam container. Also, applying it on Medipeel cotton pads as a skin pack for 20-30 minutes works wonders for hydration!

This was a product that I used to give to my younger sibling as a freebie. But given the price range, it was a product that I had gifted. There were reviews saying that when used in conjunction with the gel from the same line, the breakouts reduced a bit. But when I only used the toner, it felt like just a light water-based toner.
Cons
There were no issues. In fact, it was easy to use and good as it was just a water-based toner.

It's just a rather ordinary feeling. I may have expected too much effect, so it's not particularly better than expected.
Cons
There was no dramatic effect of immediately reducing troubles.

This product is great for those with dry skin that occasionally experiences breakouts! Since it's made by a pharmaceutical company, the ingredients are gentle yet the effects are even better. At 300ml, the volume is sufficient, allowing you to lightly pat it all over your face for easy absorption. It lasts quite a long time, so I'm quite satisfied with it! I think those with dry, sensitive skin will really appreciate this product. After showering, when your skin feels dry, just dampening a cotton pad with this and gently patting it on can instantly transform your skin to a hydrated, supple state.
Cons
To be honest, I'm still not sure about it yet. The price isn't overly expensive considering the volume, and it lasts a long time. I'll let you know if I find any downsides as I continue using it.
Tip
Before makeup, thoroughly dampening the pad and using it as a 5-minute mask can make your skin feel plump and supple, allowing your makeup to apply beautifully.

The water-based toner is great for light application! It's perfect for wiping off makeup.
Cons
I bought it because it's called 'Cica', so I thought it would help soothe my skin troubles, but I'm not sure if it's actually effective at calming inflammation.
