This product is fragrance-free, has a viscous texture rather than watery, contains skin-friendly ingredients, feels lightweight, and doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsThere was some itching. I'm not sure if the fermented ingredients don't agree with me, but after applying the toner, my skin felt itchy. That was a bit disappointing.
TipI mainly used it as an exfoliating toner, but I think it would work even better as an absorbing toner.

First off, it seems to be great for skin soothing as described. It's thoughtfully made with good ingredients and vegan-friendly. Sometimes toners can sting due to ethanol content, but this one is incredibly gentle. It has a runny consistency but can also work as an exfoliating toner. I love how it absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky finish, which I really dislike. For those who use a separate exfoliating toner, this could work well as an ampoule too. I stopped using my previous products to try this one consistently. My skin has maintained its condition without any blemishes or dead skin cells, keeping it hydrated as usual. In summer, I prefer using light, easily absorbed products and occasionally supplementing with a hydrating mist. This toner has been really helpful for that. When my skin feels dry or heated, I layer it on 2-3 times. My current routine includes this toner, followed by aloe gel and Dokdo emulsion (or Ato emulsion for more moisture), then either Dalba mist or CNP mist. After letting it absorb, I apply Dokdo sun cream and BB cream. As someone with extremely dry skin, I used to rely on facial oils even in summer, but that led to enlarged pores. For those with very dry skin, please be careful to balance oil and moisture to avoid pore enlargement.
ConsSince I was already using a runny toner, I didn't find much to dislike. However, those used to exfoliating toners with an ethanol feel might find this different, as it serves a different purpose. I think most buyers will be aware of this difference when purchasing. Rather than a downside, there's a point of caution: fermented yeast ingredients can occasionally cause blemishes. I was concerned because a family member tends to get itchy and develop red spots from products heavy in natural fermented ingredients. It's crucial to patch test before use. On the flip side, I believe we should also study cosmetics to understand that exclusively using natural ingredients while avoiding all chemical ones isn't always the best approach.
Tip(Long post warning) I'm a working professional and housewife in my late 30s, approaching 40. Exercise is crucial for removing skin waste and anti-aging - everyone, please exercise! With high-intensity workouts and swimming, I sweat a lot on my face and have always had redness. So, more important than choosing good cosmetics is cooling the skin and improving skin texture (exfoliation = hydration, not just shedding dead skin cells). I've switched from face oils to oil-to-foam and gel-to-foam cleansers for makeup removal and exfoliation. It works great for me without clogging pores, and I actually have fewer blemishes than when using face oil. On makeup-free days, I use a powder cleanser or just water. Mornings are always water cleansing. For cooling, I avoid sheet masks (they sting) and always use modeling masks, mixing in runny toners or ampoules like this one for extra hydration. Water works too if you don't have these. While influencer-recommended products can be good, affordable options from Naver can be just as effective if you read reviews. Try cheaper products first, and if they suit your skin, apply generously before your regular skincare. It should absorb well and minimize pores, even if temporarily. These daily temporary effects become your routine over time. Skincare isn't just about visiting dermatologists or using expensive products others recommend. As an older woman, I hope this advice helps, but remember everyone's skin type and condition is different, so please consider this just as a reference. Thank you to Kyne for this great product (I'm not affiliated with the company).

Super hydrating!!! - It's incredibly moisturizing. For those with deep dryness, if you apply this toner generously and finish with a cream, your skin should stay hydrated for hours without needing to reapply anything. 2. Minimal skin irritation - The first time I used it, my face felt itchy all over, but I'm not sure why. After that, it was fine. It doesn't sting, isn't too sticky, or too matte - it just provides hydration without any irritation. 3. Smoother and softer skin texture - When cleansing, I definitely noticed my skin felt softer and smoother. I'm not sure if this is due to good hydration or if it gently exfoliates dead skin cells. 4. Perfect for light skincare routines - In summer, before applying makeup, if you saturate your skin with this toner, you can reduce your skincare steps and create a great base for makeup. You know how layering too many products before makeup can cause pilling? This toner is ideal when you need to minimize your skincare routine.
ConsI tend to break out when I suddenly change cosmetics, so I just added this toner lightly to my existing routine. For the first 3 days, it was fine, but then I got blemishes in two spots. Also, the very first time I used it, my whole face felt itchy (though in subsequent uses, there was no itching and I felt nothing). I'm not sure why it was itchy initially... The itchiness made me worry my skin was going to freak out, but thankfully it didn't. (I did end up with blemishes in two spots, but I consider it lucky that my whole face didn't react badly.) I think this would be great from autumn through winter and spring when it gets cold and dry, rather than in summer. (Though in summer, it could be good for minimizing skincare steps before makeup.)
TipDon't just apply it once or twice - pat it in 3-4 times for absorption, and your skin will become soft, supple, and smooth.

It's similar to a very thin serum. Being fragrance-free, it's great for those with scent sensitivities. When applied to the face, it feels light with a barely noticeable richness. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated. I also love the beautiful packaging design.
ConsI experienced a slight tingling sensation, but I'm not sure if it was due to the humid weather making my skin more sensitive. There were no additional blemishes or reactions on my skin.
TipI've always felt that using ampoule-like toners for exfoliation was a bit wasteful, but this one has an almost water-like consistency, making it suitable as a morning exfoliating toner. It runs a bit quickly when applied to the hands, so I used it specifically for exfoliation. While it's not exactly budget-friendly, which makes me hesitant to use it liberally, it works hard for your skin!
