The more sensitive my skin becomes, the more I'm drawn to vegan products

While liposomal, high-concentration products are understandably pricey, as a budget-conscious consumer, I'd rather opt for more affordable options and apply them frequently

The viscosity isn't exactly light for a first-step toner
✔️More suitable for use as a mask
✔️Difficult to see results with just one or two bottles

As a 30-something with dry, sensitive skin, I'm absolutely thrilled with this product!
Being obsessed with anti-aging, I consider the toner, the first step in skincare, to be crucial.

✔️It's packed with 60% fermented kombucha,
made by intensively fermenting Jeju green tea extract with lactobacillus and yeast for 72 hours

-High in vitamin C, yet suitable for those with sensitive skin

✔️1% panthenol to strengthen the skin barrier

The other ingredients are also top-notch

콤부 밸런싱 앰플 토너

While using it, there are no particular shortcomings for my skin.

From the late winter, I started using it, and as it is an ampoule-type toner, it is suitable for dry weather. It has more viscosity and moisturizing feel than a regular skin.

The fragrance is a bit disappointing... It would have been perfect if it had a more pleasant scent.

[Deep undertone / Shade 21-22 / Dry skin]

Hydration Heaven:
Despite being a water-based toner, it clings to the skin with a delightful moisturizing effect! As someone with dry skin, I rarely use water toners or even the 7-skin method, but this one stands out for its hydrating properties! While it might not be suitable for the full 7-skin routine, it's perfect for multiple layers of hydration! You can really feel the moisture being replenished!

Vitamin C Boost:
With 8 times more vitamin C than lemons, this toner promises to improve your complexion! Those who love antioxidants will absolutely adore this product. I even recommended it to my mom, and she fell in love with it! She was particularly impressed by the ingredients.

Since it's not just a watery toner, it's great even with a single application. When you gently press it onto your skin with your palms, it doesn't cause any irritation and feels wonderful.

The container looks pretty, but unfortunately it has the type of opening I dislike. That's why I've transferred it to a glass bottle with a dropper. Other than that, I have no complaints.

It has a slight viscosity, so I prefer applying it directly with my hands. I gently press it onto my skin using the warmth of my palms, and I love that the hydration doesn't evaporate quickly.

The downside? It doesn't quite tackle deep dryness. No matter how much I layer, my skin still feels dry again in this parched weather. I wouldn't recommend it if you're specifically looking to combat deep dehydration.

This toner has a runny, serum-like texture. Layering it twice gives you a perfect balance of oil and moisture. As an ampoule toner, it has a slight richness that's great for layering in this season. It's so gentle that when my skin is super sensitive, I just layer this and go straight to moisturizer.

After smoothing it with a cotton pad, layer it again for extra hydration.

There's nothing to dislike, it's really great! If I had to nitpick, maybe the packaging? I personally prefer a pump dispenser.

The texture is not too thin, adhering well to the skin without feeling superficial, and leaves a moisturized finish. I first smooth it on with a cotton pad, then apply another layer. Highly recommended!

It's a straightforward, everyday toner that works well for daily use. I can't really think of any downsides!

First off, while the texture is water-like, it's not runny. It has just enough viscosity to make application easy. After applying, my skin feels clean and fresh without any stickiness - almost like a squeaky-clean sensation? It goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and is overall pleasant to use.

I have nothing negative to say about this product. It feels incredibly refreshing on my skin.

This product is truly wonderful for the skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving any residue and helps reduce the redness of blemishes.

The scent is a bit disappointing, but not bothersome enough to be a deal-breaker.

I love how moisturizing it is. It's great to use right after cleansing.

There's nothing particularly bad about it. I just wish they'd release a larger size version!

I like it! The design is nice, the product quality is good, and the delivery was pretty quick. Overall, the product is quite satisfactory!

True to its name as an 'ampoule toner', it works well for combination dehydrated skin when used in the morning like a sheet mask - soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on while you're getting ready. While lightweight, it definitely provides hydration. It's great to put in a mist bottle for a refreshing and gentle spritz during these sweltering days.

I haven't really found anything disappointing about it. However, it does sting if it gets in your eyes, so you need to be careful about that.

This is a gentle toner completely free of alcohol. It's a versatile product that sensitive and combination dehydrated skin types can use worry-free, whether as an exfoliating toner or in a mask. Its adaptability is top-notch.

● Color

● Eye irritation

● Too heavy for combination dehydrated skin in midsummer

The toner has a color, which makes me a bit uneasy as it feels like it might stain my skin.
I didn't notice at first, but after about 5 hours, my eyes started to feel a bit irritated. I think it's because the highly moisturizing product didn't fully absorb and ended up irritating my eyes.
Also, it's more hydrating than I expected, which makes it feel a bit heavy for combination dehydrated skin during the peak of summer.

I have combination dehydrated skin with blemishes, sensitive skin, large pores, and a tendency for skin warmth.

● Hydrating

● No irritation

● Subtle, non-intrusive scent

Despite being a toner, it provides intense hydration. It feels like I've applied an ampoule without any stickiness.
It doesn't sting on acne scars and doesn't feel irritating at all.
The scent isn't overpowering. Even if you're sensitive to fragrances, you can use this without worry.
