There wasn't really anything disappointing about it.
I think it would be great for those with oily skin to layer it multiple times.

The formula flows like water,
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.

The issue is that it doesn't effectively address deep dryness. Also, it tends to drip onto the floor when applying, which feels wasteful. Overall, it's decent, but it would be better if it could tackle that deep dryness. It's definitely more suited for oily skin types. For combination dehydrated skin, I'd recommend using something with more hydration.

At first, I was unsure about the scent, but the more I used it, the more I enjoyed the fragrance. It's great at removing dead skin cells and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. The texture is similar to typical toners you'd find in stores.
