Personally, the shake-before-use method and the exfoliating function reminded me of Lanc's Clarifique toner. However, I only used a sample of that product, so I didn't see significant results.

But this product...
I thought it was expensive, but compared to Lanc, it's incredibly cost-effective!

The glass bottle is elegant and nice, but there's one downside.
It's a shake-before-use product, but there seems to be a slight gap between the glass and the cap.
After shaking it vigorously and opening the cap, it feels like some product leaks out.

If they improve the packaging, this could be the perfect toner for me...
To be honest, I didn't expect such great results, so I'm a bit surprised!

I feel like I've found my holy grail toner...

I'm familiar with Physiogel's DMT cream and emulsion, but I've never tried their toner before.

At first, it felt like just another watery toner. It didn't seem particularly hydrating, and it absorbed quickly. I thought, 'Oh, it's just a fast-absorbing watery toner,' and wasn't too impressed.

But after using it for a week, my complexion became noticeably clearer... What's going on here? Personally, I found it works faster than the famous Ix Rose Serum known for fading blemishes...

And my skin texture became smoother... There's no irritation or tingling sensation, so I didn't expect much in terms of exfoliation. But when I touch my face during my morning cleanse, it feels incredibly smooth...

I'll definitely use up the whole bottle, and if my skin becomes as smooth as I hope, I'll be back for more... Please don't discontinue this product, keep making it!

사이언수티컬즈 클래리파잉 에센스

The scent is not great, and it feels too dry for those with dry skin

It instantly makes your skin feel soft and velvety without leaving any sticky residue

It's a bit tricky to control the amount you use. So far, I haven't found any other downsides.

I really like it! I stumbled upon this product and gave it a try. It's perfect for daily use.

The packaging is the only downside. It might be fine if you apply it with a cotton pad, but since I pour a generous amount into my palm, it drips everywhere each time I use it. You need to shake it well before use, but as soon as you open the cap after shaking, it starts leaking from the space between the cap and the opening. If they could improve the packaging, it would be perfect.

Due to my super sensitive skin, I've only been using the Atopalm Intensive Cream. Even that doesn't seem as effective as before, possibly due to a reformulation. After trying countless products, I concluded that niacinamide just doesn't work for me. So I avoided it at all costs and kept trying different products, but nothing seemed to suit my skin. After 5-6 years of this struggle, I decided to give this product a shot despite it containing niacinamide, and now I'm extremely satisfied. Applying this right after cleansing, followed by the Atopalm Intensive Cream, is the perfect combination for my skin.

Occasionally, I soak a cotton pad with it for a quick mask. It leaves my skin feeling wonderfully hydrated.

The layers separate, so you need to shake it well before each use. It's quite runny, so it tends to drip easily.

I pat it in immediately after cleansing for better absorption. I'm consistently using my third bottle now. Sometimes I even layer it multiple times after it absorbs. While I'm trying to minimize my skincare routine, I occasionally apply this a few times before moving straight to moisturizer.

I didn't really find anything disappointing about it. I'm just writing this to meet the 20-character minimum...

After using this, I can feel my skin texture becoming more refined, and my makeup applies so much better. I love how it leaves my skin feeling smooth without any stickiness.

For best results, use this during your evening skincare routine when you have more time. Follow up by layering on plenty of hydration and moisturizer. You'll wake up with honey-like skin the next day. However, if you don't properly moisturize, you might find your skin peeling along your skin texture lines the following day.

It's a bit annoying having to shake it every time I use it. Also, if you don't properly hydrate after applying this, your skin might start peeling.

I bought this product because I loved the Physiogel Daily Immun Glow Essence. It's great for exfoliating dead skin cells, leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed.

For even better hydration, shake the bottle, dispense some into your hand, and gently press it into your face.

The downside is that the price is still a bit high. Also, because it dispenses so easily, the bottle opening gets dirty quickly.

A smaller size has been released! The price was a bit steep before, so I hesitated to buy it, but with the reduced size and price, it's not bad to use now. I have oily skin, and honestly, this product alone provides more than enough hydration. Among the 4-5 toners and essences on my vanity, this is the one I reach for most often. It's incredibly moisturizing without any pilling, and I use it with exfoliating pads without any irritation.

The downside is that it can sting quite a bit when used after products like AHA/BHA exfoliants. Also, the dispenser tends to release a bit more product than necessary.

I used this product after it was recommended as a gentle way to manage dead skin cells without irritation. I was satisfied with how well it applied, preventing my cushion foundation from separating. It also worked well as a base before applying makeup.

1. I applied it gently using Silcot cotton pads, using half a pad to minimize irritation.
2. I previously had good results with Nature Republic's First Essence, and this product also contains exfoliating enzyme ingredients (protease) for dead skin cell care.

No drawbacks so far. I'll update if any issues arise with continued use!

I'm excited to share my review of a great skincare find after a long time! Physiogel works selectively for my skin type.
- AI Cream (Yes)
- DMT Cream, Daily Immune Ampoule, Essence in Toner (No)

With super sensitive skin, I've been using the same basic products for years. At the dermatologist, I avoid intense laser treatments and only choose 1-2 suitable treatments.
(Trying new products usually fails. Once, I applied a houttuynia cordata toner from a certain brand and had to wash it off in the middle of the night due to itching.)

My usual routine is <Avène Mist - Etude Pore Cream - AI Cream (thin layer on cheeks only)>
Occasionally in winter, I apply Bepanthen ointment like a mask at night and gently pat it with a tissue before bed.

I've seen ads for this product often due to its price point, but couldn't buy it (few reviews, mostly sponsored ones on Olive Young).
I finally bought the small size during a sale at Olive Young.
Skipping my usual routine, I only applied <this product + AI Cream>, and it was enough for a complete skincare routine - fresh, hydrating, and comfortable on my skin.

Redness, bumps, and dark spots (which worsen with dryness or lack of sleep)
all disappeared within two days of use.

It also works well under makeup, giving a subtle glow on the cheeks! For now, it passes as my winter skincare staple!!
I'll update if anything changes as I continue using it.

The only potential downside? If you lose the inner cap, it might splash a bit when you open the lid. Honestly, I couldn't find any other drawbacks.

This product is worth its slightly higher price tag. I had only tried the skin toner from this line before, but wow! I usually dislike products with separated oil layers, but this one has no oily feel - it's just smooth! It also improves how well the next products in my routine absorb, which I absolutely love.
