There wasn't really anything disappointing about it.

absorbs instantly, and isn't sticky at all - I loved it!

워터뱅크 블루 히알루로닉 에센스 토너 [지·복합용]

Use it together with the Laneige toner pads for the best results. That's my top recommendation.

There wasn't really anything bad about it. As someone with oily skin, I found it surprisingly suitable. Highly recommended!

I've been using this for a long time, and it's consistently moisturizing without being sticky. It's convenient for quick application, and it's so hydrating that you might not even need to apply serum afterward!

I didn't experience any blemishes, and there's nothing I'm particularly disappointed about. I definitely recommend it

My skin tends to be a bit dry, but this absorbs well and seems pretty good

There's not much to complain about! Since it's non-irritating, I think it would be great for those with super sensitive skin too.

Highly recommended for those with dry skin! After applying, your skin feels so hydrated that you might not even need additional moisturizer. It definitely helps reduce that tight, dry feeling.

I can't think of any downsides. It's just a decent, run-of-the-mill toner.

The watery texture is perfect for combination to oily skin types. It leaves a refreshing finish and provides excellent hydration.

It doesn't work for extremely dry skin. You can still see the dead skin cells.

It's not suitable for my extremely dry skin. Just something to keep in mind.

My skin type is currently in a state where the skin barrier is completely compromised. Here's my skincare routine:
1. I apply toner twice. The first time, I use a generous amount, spreading it once and then gently patting it in for over a minute, aiming for about 100 pats per area.
2. Depending on my skin condition, I apply toner a second time with slightly less product, focusing on dry areas and ensuring maximum absorption.
3. After the skin has fully absorbed the toner, I apply emulsion using the same method.

The lack of a cap means dust accumulates where you press, which is quite unhygienic. Apart from that, I'm very satisfied!

I used to have perfectly dry skin, but now I have combination dehydrated skin with a completely damaged skin barrier, making my skin very itchy and hot. I tried this product in that condition.

1. The texture is light but feels substantial. Applying one layer gives a sensation of fortifying and filling the skin!
2. With a damaged skin barrier and constant exposure to air conditioning, applying at least two layers helps combat about 70% of deep dryness.
3. The extremely light texture works wonderfully not just with Laneige products, but also pairs excellently with other brands!
4. If you feel dryness or itchiness after some time, adding another layer maintains healthy skin until bedtime.

I wouldn't particularly recommend this for those with very dry skin like mine. You can really notice it doesn't address deep dryness by mid-morning or lunchtime, and it feels like it doesn't absorb well into the skin.

The pleasant scent and thicker consistency prevent it from dripping, making it convenient to use. The generous amount is great for liberal application. It provides decent hydration, making it perfect for morning skincare routines.

The container seems to leak a little. Other than that, no issues.

It's really great! Not sticky at all and I'm using it well.

Personally, I really dislike the scent. Laneige products usually have a pleasant fragrance, but this new product smells very artificial, like cheap cosmetics... It's completely different from the Water Bank Essence scent.

After using it for about 2 months:
I've gotten used to the scent now, so it doesn't bother me anymore. That doesn't mean I like it though. Come to think of it, it smells a bit like cucumbers.

The ingredients have improved significantly, which is great. Above all, it absorbs well and feels refreshing on the skin.

After using it for about 2 months:
I have very oily skin, but I felt like it helped control excess oil. However, it seems additional moisturizing might be needed afterwards.
