Hydrating

There weren't really any downsides that I can think of. It's not dramatically impressive, but it's a solid, reliable product.

I always seem to come back to Physiogel when my skin gets sensitive. With the new Red Soothing line released, I decided to give it a try since it's summer and my skin's been getting oily and prone to blemishes. I'm pleased to say it has a calming effect and isn't irritating - just as expected from Physiogel.

레드수딩 시카밸런스 토너

Somewhat high price point
While the ingredients are good, it feels a bit expensive for the amount you get. It might be a bit burdensome for consistent, long-term use.

Gentle and non-irritating feel
As someone with sensitive skin, I'm always cautious when choosing toners, but this product is definitely mild and non-irritating. It absorbs comfortably without any tingling or redness.

Nearly fragrance-free
With almost no artificial scent, even those sensitive to fragrances should be able to use this comfortably.

Since it's recommended for summer, it might be too drying for winter use.

This seems perfect for summer use!
It appears to control oil slightly, so I don't get many blemishes.

When using this toner, don't just use it alone. For best results, try layering it with aloe vera or a soothing gel.

It seems to evaporate quickly, perhaps because it's not meant for deep hydration. Even with my oily skin, it leaves my face feeling dry again after a short while. Also, I didn't notice any remarkable effects.

The texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs instantly. Even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any redness when using it.

I'm still in the early stages of using this product, so I haven't experienced any blemishes or issues yet. There's nothing I'm disappointed about so far.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I love that there's no deep dryness or excess oiliness after using this. It works great for my skin type!

I didn't find anything particularly disappointing about it! It has a water-like texture and is fragrance-free.

As someone with sensitive skin, this is the only toner that doesn't cause any blemishes. After trying many others, I always come back to this one.

아무래도 피지오겔이 가격이 있다보니.. 그런점이 구매에 조금 고민되는 요소에요. 
그 외엔 딱히 뭐 없었습니다!

예전엔 순한 토너로 닦토하고 세럼, 로션 발랐었는데 왠지 속건조가 좀 생기더라구요. 
그래서 이 제품 구매해서 닦토 다음단계에 사용하고있습니다. 
진짜 빠르게 흡수되고, 순하고 좋아요!
사실 이젠 그냥 귀찮으면 닦토+피지오겔토너만 바르고 잘때도 많아요ㅎㅎ 그정도로 이 제품 사용하면 속이 쫀쫀해지는 느낌! 
그냥 순한 토너는 바르고나면 오히려 마르면서 건조해지는데, 얘는 그런거 없이 꽉 채워주는 느낌이에요. 
화장품을 잘 몰라서 설명을 못하겠는데 진짜 맘에 들었습니다. ㅎㅎ 지금 거의 한통 다 써가서 추가로 구매 고민중입니다!

While I felt it might have been a bit lacking in hydration, overall it wasn't bad.

After using it for about 4 months, I found it suited my skin well. The way it absorbs was excellent.

- Layering it helps boost hydration. It works great when used with the matching moisturizer from the set during summer.

- Those with combination dehydrated skin or dry skin might find it a bit less hydrating as we move into fall or winter.

- I'm writing this review after using up a full bottle during summer, even though I only have a sample at my parents' house now!
- I bought this toner after getting a lot of small bumps from using a winter moisturizer in summer.
- I used it as an exfoliating toner twice a week, and layered it about 3 times on other days. It was especially effective for those tiny blemishes! It's a great toner for anyone struggling with small bumps.
- Perfect for summer use.
- I really loved how it provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling too rich.

Use it as a mask with cotton pads! It's great for hydration boost!

The amount is small compared to the price. (It might be expensive for some.)
Other than that, I don't have any complaints!

I have combination dehydrated skin with milia, inflammatory acne, and scarring. My skin has become super sensitive lately, so I bought this looking for a non-irritating product.

Scent: It's fragrance-free, which I recommend for those sensitive to scents. I loved that it's unscented too!

Texture: It has a water-like consistency that absorbs quickly. I didn't experience any irritation, stinging, or itching when applying it! I tried both applying it directly and using it as a mask with cotton pads - I recommend using it as a mask.

Acne: I haven't seen significant effects on inflammatory acne yet. However, I noticed it's calming my milia, so I'll continue using it. For hyperpigmentation, I'll need to use it longer to see results.

Price: While it seems quite expensive for the amount, I think it's worth it since it doesn't irritate and helps calm milia.

Hydration: Applying toner before emulsion and cream improves absorption better than just using emulsion or cream alone. It seems to help with dryness. Good!

In conclusion, although it's a bit pricey, I like that it's gentle and non-irritating. I plan to keep using it as my daily skincare item!

I'm not sure what effects this product actually has. Conversely, I can't pinpoint what's lacking either, making it a rather ambiguous product. I don't particularly feel that it's effective at controlling sebum. Also, the scent is really off-putting.

I appreciate how easy it is to control the amount of toner that comes out of the dispenser.

While the ingredients are gentle and good, I have to agree with many others that the fragrance is a bit disappointing.

As someone with combination skin, I always research reviews and ingredients thoroughly before buying skincare products. Physiogel's products are incredibly gentle, making them perfect for those of us with combination skin.
