Pros
It absorbs quickly when applied gradually. At first, I felt like my skin tone became brighter. It seems good to use in the summer. It's good that it doesn't feel sticky.
Cons
I used it morning and evening for a week, but I had breakouts, so I stopped using it. It seems it doesn't suit me. That's a pity.
Tip
If you're not sensitive, it would be good to apply it on a cotton pad and use it like a pack.

Pros
The liquid had a viscous consistency, but it applied smoothly without any stickiness. I was pleased with the mild ingredients and slightly acidic toner. Some toners didn't resolve the dryness after application, but this product did, which I appreciated.
Cons
The price was disappointing. Popular toners are generally around 10,000 won, but this product was in the 20,000 won range. As it was my first time using the kombu ingredient, I noticed some minor breakouts after using it for over a week. It's difficult to say for certain if the kombu was the cause, but since I only changed the toner in my existing routine, the breakouts seem to be related to the kombu ingredient.

Pros
My skin is dry, so when I try to control the dryness, my face ends up looking shiny, and if I use a little less, it immediately becomes dry again. First, the initial use was very satisfying!! It's a bit thinner than water, but it applies lightly and I felt that my skin was moisturized with just one application. And the best part was that there was no oiliness on my nose and forehead the next morning. The amount is also generous, so it seems good to use as a toner pack as well.
Cons
Everything was good, but after using it for a few days, a lot of something came up on the area near my ears and cheeks...I thought it might be PMS, but usually only one or two things come up occasionally. It could be due to my condition, and I'm not sure if it's definitely because of this product, but since this is the only thing that has changed, I've stopped using it for now. I'll try using it again when my condition improves!!
Tip
After applying and allowing it to absorb sufficiently, please move on to the next step. Since it's a bit oily, it may feel heavy.

Pros
🧐 I have sensitive/combination skin ✅ Fragrance-free ✅ Not a watery formula, but has some viscosity ✅ Gentle ingredients ✅ Lightweight feel ✅ No breakouts
Cons
🥲 I experienced some itchiness - I'm not sure if the fermented ingredients didn't agree with me, but after applying the toner, I felt some itchiness, which was a bit disappointing
Tip
I mainly used it as a cleansing toner, but I think it would work even better as an exfoliating toner😊

Pros
First, I received the package and opened it, and it was beautifully wrapped in green hanji paper! It's rare for cosmetics to come packaged this way, so it felt like receiving a gift when I opened it, which was nice. The Kaine toner is an concentrated ampoule toner containing Jeju yeast, xylitol, and fermented black tea, so my skin felt gentle and hydrated without any irritation. At first, I was worried that a toner in this color would feel sticky and oily after application, but this one felt refreshing and non-greasy, which I was really satisfied with. 😁 Also, I prefer unscented toners, and this one is truly fragrance-free, which I appreciated.
Cons
When I first used it, a lot of the product soaked into the cotton pad, and it felt like a face pack. For some reason, my skin felt slightly stinging around certain areas like my lips.
Tip
Using it as a face pack makes it feel a bit heavy, so I think applying this toner with a patting motion or just swiping it on is better.

Pros
First of all, the bottle packaging is lovely. It has a sturdy and durable feel! It doesn't seem cheap at all. When it arrived, it was wrapped in paper packaging instead of plastic, which made it feel more eco-friendly and I liked that. The formula has a slight viscosity to it. It's not a completely watery type. It seemed like it would be better to use during the rest of the seasons rather than the very hot summer. The product has a herbal or botanical scent, but it's unscented, which was unexpected but nice.
Cons
I usually use an oil mist, but in the summer my skin type changes to combination and becomes more sensitive to breakouts. So I always apply it lightly. A layered water toner plus a light moisture cream-type cicacream would be ideal. But the formula feels a bit heavy, so double-layering the toner feels too heavy. And for some reason, after using the toner, small bumps would appear on my skin. I thought it might be because of something I ate or another factor, so I took a break for a couple days and it got better. But then the bumps came back when I started using it again... I'm not sure if it's an ingredient issue or if the heavier toner formula just doesn't work well in the extreme heat, but I ended up stopping use for now. And the price-to-volume ratio is quite low.
Tip
I'll consider using it again if my skin gets a bit drier, but for my combination skin, I'll need to be careful using it in this weather.

Pros
1. Moisturizing!!! - It's completely moisturizing. For those with dry skin, if you apply this toner generously and finish with a cream, you won't need to apply anything else and your skin will stay moisturized for a long time. 2. Minimal skin irritation - The first time I used it, my whole face itched, but I'm not sure why. From the next use onwards, it was fine. And it provides just the right amount of moisture without any stinging, stickiness, or excessive mattifying. 3. Skin texture becomes smooth and soft - I definitely felt my skin become smoother and softer when cleansing. I'm not sure if it's because of the good moisture supply or the gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells. 4. Great for a light skincare routine - In the summer, if you soak your skin with this toner before makeup, you can reduce the skincare steps and have a nice base for makeup. If you apply too many products before makeup, it can get cakey. This toner is perfect for minimizing the routine then.
Cons
I usually don't change my skincare products suddenly because it causes breakouts, so I just added this toner to my existing routine. For the first 3 days or so, it was fine, but then I started getting breakouts in two areas. Also, the first time I used it, my whole face felt itchy. (In the subsequent uses, there was no itchiness and no particular sensation.) I'm not sure why it felt itchy... The itchiness made me think 'oh no, is my face going to flare up again?' but thankfully it didn't. (Although I did get breakouts in two areas, at least my whole face didn't flare up, so I consider that a relief.) I think this toner will work well from fall through winter and spring, but may not be as suitable in the summer. (In the summer, it could be great for minimizing the skincare routine before makeup.)
Tip
Don't just use it once or twice, but gently pat it in 3-4 times so your skin becomes supple, smooth, and soft.
