It seems perfect for use during seasonal changes. Although it's meant for daytime use, I applied it as the final step after cleansing at night, and it really helped refine my skin texture. While it didn't completely eliminate deep dryness after morning and evening cleansing, it did seem effective at removing dead skin cells! I love that I can use it in this order: cleanse, exfoliate, then apply the Dokdo Day Clear Toner - it helps tone the skin without causing much irritation. And the packaging is absolutely adorable!
ConsDespite its watery consistency, it didn't feel as light and refreshing as I expected. (However, after finishing the bottle and trying other toners, I realized) it's actually incredibly lightweight and refreshing. I now understand how truly light it feels compared to other products. That's why I repurchased this product... Also, the scent is surprisingly artificial with a noticeable alcohol smell. It's not bothersome when applied to the skin, but it's quite strong when you open the cap. Of course, I personally like the alcohol scent, so it didn't bother me.
TipThis toner pairs well with heavier creams. For those with extremely dry skin like mine who've been using rich creams all winter, as the weather warms up, the combination of serum and cream might feel too heavy. This toner with a rich cream could be a good balance, even suitable for morning use.

When I used it as a toner pack during bad skin days, it made my skin feel incredibly soft and smooth. ✅ Formula It has a water-like consistency typical of exfoliating toners! Great for prepping skin before makeup, and let's be honest, on those days when you're not going out and skip washing your face... it's perfect for wiping away excess oil. ✅ Scent It has a subtle herbal scent, almost like fresh leaves. I personally enjoyed it! The fragrance isn't overpowering, so it shouldn't bother most people. ✅ Overall While it may not be extraordinary, this toner excels at the basics! I appreciate its good ingredients, and as an exfoliating toner, it's probably the best I've used so far.
ConsThe quantity is a bit small for frequent use as a toner pack. If you use it generously, you'll run out pretty quickly.
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, using this type of toner to wipe your face in the morning seems better than thoroughly cleansing with a face wash!

Absorbs rapidly without any stickiness. Works well whether applied with cotton pads or hands. Skin texture improvement - Containing AHA, PHA, and LHA, this exfoliating toner leaves skin feeling smooth and refined. It seems to prep the skin nicely for subsequent skincare or makeup steps. Gentle on skin - Despite containing exfoliating ingredients, it doesn't cause any tingling or irritation. Hydration - Though lightweight, it doesn't evaporate quickly or dry out the skin. Instead, it leaves a lasting moisturized feeling. I also appreciate the brand's values.
ConsOverall, it's a decent product without any glaring drawbacks. True to its name, it's a toner that's great for liberal use in the morning. It's just... unremarkably good.

Hydration: It has a light texture, so it's not the best product if you're expecting intense hydration on its own! I used it as an exfoliating toner in the early stages of my skincare routine or before makeup. I think you'll be satisfied if you use it lightly to even out your skin texture! Texture: It's a really watery toner, almost as fluid as water. I'm not a fan of sticky skin feels, but even without a cotton pad, it absorbs easily with just a bit of patting. Once it's fully absorbed, it leaves the skin soft and matte, which I personally loved! Blemishes: After using it consistently for about a week, I didn't experience any special breakouts. In fact, using it as a gentle exfoliating toner seemed to improve my small bumps! Value for money: I think the price is reasonable for the amount you get! While you might use it up quickly as an exfoliating toner, I would consider repurchasing as long as it doesn't cause any blemishes. Scent: It felt almost unscented to me, so I think it would be good for those who are sensitive to fragrances!
ConsI didn't have any particular complaints! I recommend that those with super sensitive skin do a patch test before using it!
TipRecommended as a gentle exfoliating toner!

I've been using this product consistently twice a day, morning and night, for about a week. Skin type: Super sensitive, oily, with some acne-prone areas 1. Severe redness on cheeks and extremely sensitive 2. Extremely oily forehead with small bumps Skin texture improvement: At first, I only used the toner to hydrate my skin as it adjusted to the product. From the third day, I generously applied it with a cotton pad to gently refine my skin texture. Worried about irritation, I used it without a cotton pad in the morning and only with one in the evening. It seemed to remove makeup residue at night, and using a cotton pad was much more effective for improving skin texture. My forehead is oily, and if I don't manage dead skin cells well, my pores get clogged and blemishes appear. Now I'm very satisfied as my pores look clean and smooth. Hydration boost: I noticed that applying skincare products after this toner was more hydrating than immediately using emulsions or other products. I wasn't originally a fan of toners, but after using the Dokdo Toner, my opinion has changed so positively that I feel I should continue using toners from now on. Gentle feel, recommended toner for exfoliation: Highly recommended for super sensitive skin! It's incredibly gentle. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea. Even slightly irritating products cause stinging and pustules. However, this product doesn't cause any blemishes when used generously with a cotton pad, probably because it doesn't over-exfoliate and is so gentle. Exfoliating pads are usually too harsh and cause breakouts, but the Dokdo Toner is wonderfully gentle. I recommend the Dokdo Toner for those who want to try an exfoliating toner but are worried about irritation.
ConsThere are no negatives! It's a gentle toner suitable for daily use. I'd like to try other versions of the Dokdo Toner as well.
TipExcessive use of exfoliating toners can cause irritation, leading to blemishes and a compromised skin barrier. I recommend using it without a cotton pad in the morning and with one in the evening for skin texture refinement.

I used this exfoliating toner morning and night for three days, and I loved how it refined my skin texture and evened out my complexion! I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so I didn't experience any blemishes or redness. The scent isn't strong - it's close to unscented with a typical toner fragrance. Not only is the product good, but I also appreciate that the sales proceeds go towards supporting sea otter restoration research.
ConsWhile the product itself is generally good, the packaging looks a bit cheap (kind of like a Daiso product...?). However, it's not overly bothersome. The design is printed directly on the container rather than being a sticker, which some might find clean-looking depending on their taste.
TipIt's great to use this exfoliating toner after cleansing or in the morning as part of your skincare routine.
