Using it with Sirucoat cotton pads as a toner, it absorbed well without sliding off, leaving my skin feeling firm and supple. Because of this, those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. The click-open cap is convenient, no need to twist it open. Plus, the plastic container is lightweight and worry-free if dropped.
ConsYou need to shake it to mix the oil layer, but it separates again quickly. You have to be quick to apply it to the cotton pad!
TipUsing it with Sirucoat cotton pads allows for gentle toning without irritating the skin.

Skin type: Dry and sensitive Experience: As someone with dry skin, I always look for moisturizing toners with good hydration. This d'Alba toner has oil on top and toner underneath, making it a mix-and-use type that feels wonderfully hydrating! Ingredients: The ingredients are good overall, except for the added fragrance. However, the scent isn't overpowering, which is nice, and it doesn't cause any blemishes. Application: I mainly use the d'Alba mist for a dewy makeup look! I spray the mist before makeup and also on my makeup sponge. However, with this toner, I apply it before the mist step when doing dewy makeup. It makes my skin even more hydrated and smooth, allowing for a better makeup application. Personally, I found that using it together with the d'Alba mist creates a great synergistic effect!
ConsRoom for improvement: The main drawback, as mentioned in many other reviews, is the packaging! It seems the package was designed to dispense the oil easily, but it can be a bit messy and inconvenient in that aspect.
TipTo ensure the oil and toner mix well, make sure to shake the bottle thoroughly before use!

The packaging and fragrance are absolutely delightful! While some say fragrances aren't great, I personally prefer this level of scent over unscented products. The initial application gives me a sense of healing. The citrusy aroma is wonderful! The packaging is also elegant and beautiful, perfect for gifting. It has a thin oil layer that needs to be mixed before use. It's not greasy at all and absorbs quickly like a regular toner, leaving only a moisturized feeling. Some people say there's too little oil, but I think it's excellent for dry skin since toners are primarily for hydration. You can always add more moisture with essences or creams afterward. The oil-to-water ratio seems just right. As someone dealing with dryness lately, it's been fantastic as a first essence or first skin step! It contains PHA, which is great for removing dead skin cells. You could even use it as a skin pack (though I'll probably just use it as an absorbing toner due to the price). It's amazing for improving skin texture on bad skin days!
ConsThe container is a bit inconvenient. Product always gets on the cap after use, so you need to wipe it clean. If you don't clean it daily, it becomes harder to clean later. Also, when you shake the bottle to mix the oil and toner layers, leftover product on the cap might splash out. A spray bottle might be better, but I suppose they wanted to differentiate it from spray serums and mists. A screw-top lid could work well too!
TipIt's great to see more vegan cosmetics coming out these days. This was my first time trying one, and I love it! I'll definitely use more vegan cosmetics that are good for both skin and the environment. Thank you!

The oil floats on top, so you need to shake it before use, but I loved how moisturizing and hydrating it is! I was worried it might be a bit oily, but not at all - it's great! Usually when I apply toner, it evaporates quickly and my skin feels a bit dry, but this one provides just the right amount of hydration, which I absolutely adore! I'm truly in love with the texture!! ✔️ Scent: It's not overpowering, so it's not burdensome, and it has a pleasant aroma! Even the fragrance feels gentle. ✔️ Price: For this amount and quality, 29,000 won seems reasonable! It's not too expensive and feels just right! It would also make a great gift. ✔️ Packaging: This might be quite subjective, but I think the cosmetic container and logo are pretty attractive... It looks quite sophisticated. Having it on my vanity makes me feel like I'm using a high-end product, which I love. ✔️ Repurchase intention: I absolutely will! When I finish this, I think I'll buy both this one and d'Alba's famous mist that was originally popular! Review: I had only heard of d'Alba before, but after trying it, I found the product to be gentle and especially good for hydration! I usually didn't use toners because I have very dry skin, but this product improved my skin texture and provided appropriate hydration, so I'll definitely look for it again! I keep mentioning hydration, but it's absolutely not sticky at all! Even my sister with oily skin is using it well, so I think it's suitable for those with oily skin too! Of course, it was great for my dry skin as well. Now I'm really curious about d'Alba's other products!!
Cons✔️ While the container is pretty, the toner opening was a bit inconvenient. After patting the toner onto my hands, it always drips down the bottle, which was a bit annoying. ✔️ The oil floating on top separates too quickly after shaking! So even if you shake it and set it down for just a moment before using the toner, it's already completely separated. You have to use it right away after shaking vigorously. It's not a major flaw, but always having to use it hurriedly right after shaking makes it feel a bit rushed.
TipMake sure to cover the opening with your hand when shaking... I accidentally had a toner party once when it sprayed everywhere while shaking! It didn't spill much, but it's worth being careful about.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- The scent is pleasant without being overpowering or overwhelming. (Since skincare products are used on the face, some fragrances can be off-putting, but this one has a universally appealing scent that everyone can enjoy.) - Hydration: I've tried many skincare products that claim to be moisturizing, but most only feel hydrating at the moment of application. This one, however, is so hydrating that I can skip essence even in summer!
ConsPackaging: The container doesn't have a separate lid, but instead opens and closes with a push mechanism. I initially thought this would be convenient, as I sometimes find twisting lids annoying and occasionally lose them. However, it's actually inconvenient when using the product. The toner doesn't dispense as desired, so I think the nozzle design needs improvement.
TipLately, I've been using this product to gently wipe my face before starting my cleansing routine, especially when pollen or dust sticks to my skin. It feels more hygienic than directly massaging with cleansing oil.

But after a little while, it got better and worked well for my dry skin. I also liked the scent. These days, many products are unscented, but this had a pleasant, subtle citrusy or musky fragrance. It wasn't overpowering at all, just a nice, delicate scent.
ConsHowever, the packaging was a bit inconvenient. You have to shake it before use, otherwise it's just pure oil. I forgot once and used it as usual without shaking, and oh my... Haha! Since then, I've been very conscious about remembering to shake it!

I was worried the oil content might make it feel too rich, but it finishes cleanly without any stickiness. The formula is like a water-based toner, so you can apply it directly with your hands or using a cotton pad. As someone with super sensitive skin, I'm cautious about ingredients, but I didn't experience any blemishes during the few days I used it. I also appreciated that the scent isn't artificial - it's practically fragrance-free.
ConsYou need to shake it before use, but when you open the cap after shaking, the product tends to splash a bit everywhere, which makes it inconvenient to use. I wish they would change it to a spray format or improve the existing cap.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- First off, I loved that the essence and oil layers were separate, allowing me to apply them individually or mix them. It really helped balance the oil and moisture in my skin, which I found quite satisfying. - Being a vegan product, the ingredients seem gentle on the skin! - The scent isn't overpowering - it's a subtle blend of musk and citrus that didn't put me off at all. I actually quite enjoyed the fragrance. - I expected the texture to be oily, but it flowed easily like water, probably because it's a toner. When applied, it gave my skin a nice glow and absorbed surprisingly quickly! As someone who dislikes products that don't absorb well or feel sticky, I was extremely pleased with this aspect. - The packaging is beautiful, and the product design is so pretty that I was a bit shocked when I received the delivery! It made me think, 'Can cosmetics really be this beautiful?'
Cons- The container is extremely inconvenient. While the design is undeniably pretty, opening the lid to apply the product causes it to splash, and after dispensing some onto your hand, residue remains on the lid, which is annoying. I think a dropper or a twist-open cap would have been much better than the current lid design. - It also seems quite pricey. 29,000 won for 155ml feels a bit steep. Sure, it probably contains good ingredients, but the presence of fragrance also increases the risk of irritation.

The luxurious matte finish makes it an excellent gift option too. [Scent] The floral fragrance is subtle and not overpowering, making each application a mood-lifting experience. [Overall Review] As a regular user of DALBA mists, I had high expectations for this toner, and I wasn't disappointed. The first thing that won me over was its vegan formulation! Among skincare basics, toners are the most versatile and the first product I use after cleansing, so I'm always meticulous in my selection. After trying it, I can confidently say that 'gentle' perfectly describes this toner. It's surprisingly lightweight with quick absorption. Thanks to its oil-based formula, it effectively combats deep dryness, making it ideal for daily use. Yet, it's not overly rich, so it should suit a wide range of skin types. Once again, DALBA proves to be a reliable choice!
Cons[Room for Improvement] The packaging might be hit or miss for some. Every time I open the cap, the solution tends to splash a bit.
Tip[Pro Tip] If you're new to DALBA products, I'd recommend starting with their mist as an introduction to the brand.
