During that time, my skin has been turned upside down due to fine dust... Instead, I've been using it together with my mother. * I'll write a mid-term review, continue using it + plan to update it this Sunday (5/7) + add a 1-month usage review 1. Minimal irritation. - Despite my skin being turned upside down, there is minimal irritation. I can't say it's completely non-irritating, but I think it varies depending on the skin condition. 2. Moisturizing but oily, but ultimately leaves a moisturized finish. - It's moisturizing, but a bit oily when applied. However, it's surprisingly moisturizing once it's absorbed into the skin. You'd have to try it to understand what I mean! My mother and I have been using it (my mother for a week), and it feels oily and greasy when dispensed onto the hands. But once applied to the face, there's no oiliness at all! 3. Improves skin texture. - As mentioned earlier, despite my skin being in a bad state, the texture has improved. Of course, there's no dramatic change, but the skin feels more refined. You don't even need to use a cleansing balm, a cleansing oil works fine! I'm quite sensitive, so I prefer cleansing oils over balms. 4. Not as drying as expected, moisturizing. - I'm not sure how it will be in the winter, but for now, it's moisturizing. I don't think an additional essence is needed, just applying a cream on top should be sufficient.
Cons1. As mentioned earlier, there is minimal irritation, but it does sting a bit. - I think this varies depending on the skin condition. 2. One cleansing oil application seems sufficient + apply it at night - I layered it 2-3 times and applied a lotion (The Simple Sinic) and a cream (Atobarrier 365), but it ended up looking cakey. So one cleansing oil application seems sufficient, and I'd recommend applying it at night rather than during the day. Layering too many products on top during the day might make it look overly heavy.
TipThe level of irritation and improvement in skin texture seem to vary depending on the skin condition. But overall, there is minimal irritation, and the skin texture appears more refined. You don't necessarily need a cleansing balm, it seems to work fine as well. I'd recommend applying it at night rather than during the day, as layering too many products on top during the day might cause peeling.

It has a slightly slippery feel, but it absorbs into the skin. I've been using it consistently with cleansing and absorbing. There was a slight feeling that some of the dark spots were lightening in color. Using it in the evening seems to be better. I've been really concerned about dark spots, but it seems to be adapting well, so I'd like to try the ampoule too.^^♡
ConsI had a slight breakout. I'm on the sensitive side, and when I use whitening products or vitamin C products, I tend to have reactions during the adjustment period. If I use it wrong with sunscreen in the morning, the foundation can get patchy.
TipIn the evening, I use the absorbing and cleansing steps, and then apply other skincare. During the day, if I use it wrong, it can get patchy like foundation. On days when I don't wear much makeup, I use it during the day. If you use it consistently, your skin will brighten up. When using it before makeup, make sure to let it absorb fully before moving on to the next step. Then it should be fine.^^

Texture The texture was pleasantly smooth, not unpleasantly sticky, so it was great to gently wipe away with a cotton pad without any irritation to the skin! The cleansing function was not compromised by the texture either - it wiped away smoothly and gently without any issues. 2. Gentleness I was quite worried since it contains AHA ingredients and is commonly used for exfoliation, but it was surprisingly gentle! Even with the exfoliating ingredients, it felt very gentle on the skin. I think the texture also contributes to the gentleness.
Cons1. Unremarkable Hmm...I didn't really feel any exfoliating effect or soothing benefits or anything like that. It was just a very unremarkable experience using it 🤣 But at least there were no issues like breakouts or redness, so it's not a complete downside, just that it didn't feel like it was worth the price at all... 2. Peeling Effect It's not that the toner peeled off like dirt, but for some reason when I use AHA-containing products, the exfoliation doesn't happen gradually, but rather the dead skin cells seem to just get pushed out later when I'm doing my other skincare. I had a similar experience years ago with an AHA body lotion, and ended up not being able to use it anymore 😭 With this being a facial toner, I can just rinse it off or wipe it away if it starts peeling, but it's still an inconvenience...🥹 My skin has been going through a lot with the changing seasons - lots of oiliness, clogged pores, and built-up dead skin. I was planning to buy the Mamonde Petal Spa Oil-to-Foam Mask, but since I got this as a prize, I'll use it as a replacement. But I'll still end up buying the Mamonde one anyway 🤣

If the fragrance of a toner is too strong and you need to apply it more than twice a day, it can be off-putting, but this product has almost no fragrance, so it was comfortable and easy to use. They say that added fragrances are not good for the skin either! Second, It's non-sticky. It's close to a water-based formula, but it's not completely watery either. It's definitely not a runny formula. As someone with oily skin, I really dislike sticky feelings, and I was satisfied that this product did not have that. Third, Good absorption. I layered and applied it multiple times. It was moisturizing and absorbed well, so I applied it two to three times. The moisture is great.
ConsAfter using it for a few days, my skin suddenly felt irritated, and when I checked, my whole face had developed a lot of flakiness and redness. When I washed my face, the flakes came off like dirt. It felt like my skin was peeling off, like after being out in the hot weather. But after taking a break from the toner for about two days, it calmed down a bit. Since this is supposed to be a product for controlling flakiness, I wonder if the problem was that I layered it too much. I'll try using it a different way and leave another review later on. ^.^

As the seasons change, it's become even drier, and the areas around my eyes and lips have become irritated and reddened. Among my skincare products, I consider toners to be the most important. I was curious about the Dictionnaire toner, as it was heavily promoted. It's not a pure water toner, but it's not a thick, essence-like toner either. It was described as a moisturizing toner that helps maintain skin texture, so I thought it would be good for hydration. However, it wasn't as moisturizing as I had hoped. It seems suitable for most skin types except very dry skin. I also saw reviews saying it has an oily feel, but I didn't experience that at all, which was good. Instead, it felt more focused on providing moisture. I'm glad the fragrance was undetectable, and I liked that the transparent packaging allows you to see the contents.
ConsThe disappointing part is that, as someone with sensitive and dry skin, I didn't find it to be as moisturizing as I had hoped. In fact, I feel that the Abib Heartleaf Soothing Toner, which is a water-based toner, is more hydrating for me. And after using this toner and then applying an essence and cream, I felt like there was a slight film or pilling effect. I can't use it too generously, but using it sparingly leaves my skin feeling desert-dry, so I only use it before bed. I found it to be quite drying for my skin, so I don't think I'll be repurchasing it. The toner was advertised as moisturizing, but it wasn't actually that hydrating, and I didn't feel like my skin was recovering well either. For the same price, I think I'd be better off buying a different product.
