My super sensitive skin usually flares up with even slightly potent ingredients, but this product caused no such reaction. - Applies smoothly and feels hydrating. - Compared to typical toners, it's not too light and provides a noticeable hydration. While lightweight toners often leave skin feeling dry quickly without seeming to absorb, this product maintained a pleasant moisturized feeling for quite a while.
Cons- It's hard to classify this as a true toner. 1) Texture: Too heavy for the first step after cleansing. Skincare products should be applied from lightest to heaviest, but my serum was actually lighter than this. Applying serum after this product left a layer sitting on top of my skin. 2) Lacks toner's residue-removing function: Cleansing often leaves some residue on the skin. A toner should effectively remove these traces for better absorption of subsequent products. However, this product falls short in this aspect. As a result, the combination of residue and this heavier toner led to blemishes. 3) Hydration level: Too heavy for a toner, yet not quite moisturizing enough to be an essence.
TipInstead of using this immediately after cleansing as a toner, incorporate it into your routine based on the weight of your other products. I found success using it in this order: watery toner → clear serum → this product → moisturizer. Using it this way, it performed adequately as an essence!

I was also grateful to receive a freshly manufactured product (made on March 6, 2024) right away. I've been looking for a hydrating toner as my skin has become so dry lately, so I was truly delighted and thankful to win the Manyo Factory Pantethine Essence Toner. I have pollen allergies in spring and severe rhinitis during seasonal changes, so I wear a mask and finish my skincare routine with just light ampoules or hydrating toners. Even when it's dry outside, this product is great for gently soothing my skin and providing hydration, despite the sweat and sebum that build up inside the mask. At night, I always apply two or three layers. It's amazing how it absorbs instantly and makes my skin feel soft right away. Even when I rinse with water in the morning, my skin still feels smooth and doesn't feel dry at all. I definitely recommend applying two or three layers! It doesn't pill, and my skin absorbs it so quickly that when I touch my face again, I can experience that bouncy, sticky feeling they advertise on home shopping networks! It's quite fascinating. Although it has a watery consistency, it comes out of the bottle with a thick, mucus-like texture, so I apply it directly to my skin. I think this works better than using a cotton pad to absorb it. The name 'Essence Toner' fits perfectly. I believe this one product will be able to protect my skin all the way through summer nights.
ConsAt first, I was disappointed because the flat opening and the mucus-like texture of the toner left a lot of residue when I squeezed it out. However, after reading a previous review suggesting to tap the bottle instead of squeezing it, I tried that method and found it dispensed cleanly while allowing for better control of the amount. I wish this usage tip had been included in the instructions. Everyone, please use it by tapping a bit onto your palm or the back of your hand.
TipMake sure to apply two or three layers! You'll notice a significant difference in your skin between applying one layer versus two or three. Also, dispense the product by gently tapping the opening on the back of your hand or palm. This allows for better control of the amount and a cleaner application.
