Exfoliates Well

It's so watery that the amount that runs off is a bit disappointing each time I use it

It applies like water, but once fully absorbed, it gives a plumping effect to the skin

마데카소사이드 테트라좀 시카 토너

As someone who usually breaks out from exfoliating toners, I used this as a hydrating toner and the results are phenomenal! I just patted it in with my hands, no cotton pad needed, and my skin has improved so much. I've been using this along with an ampoule, and now I'm considering trying the emulsion too.

There are absolutely no downsides. I love it so much! It's a perfect product. Please, I beg you, don't discontinue it!

As someone with super sensitive skin prone to blemishes and a weak skin barrier, this is truly my holy grail toner! It's incredibly gentle and definitely effective in improving skin texture! After using it for a few days, my face feels so soft... The generous size means it lasts forever too. Such an amazing product!

I love that the watery formula can be used in various ways. It's great to pour the toner into an empty toner pad container with thin cotton pads, store it in the fridge, and use it quickly and lightly in the morning for a refreshing start.

After cleansing, I always wipe my face and use it as a mask, but perhaps due to its quick absorption, it felt like it dried out quickly! Since I have dry skin, I use it in layers: exfoliating toner - toner mask - absorption 1-2 times. Maybe that's why it gets used up quickly, but it's worth it.

The watery formula applies incredibly lightly. It has a clean, fresh scent without any unpleasant odors. What I loved most was how satisfying it was to exfoliate dead skin cells without irritation, thanks to the PHA ingredients.

Remember the 5-minute mask technique! It's the secret to unlocking this product's full potential...

There's no reason not to recommend this! It's just that the consistency is a bit thinner, which makes it perfect for a 5-minute mask routine! Say no to thick toners and yes to watery ones!

Did you know that madecassoside helps calm redness from acne? This large-sized, super cost-effective product is amazing! Soak a cotton pad generously with the toner, place it on your face for about 5 minutes, and when you remove it - voila! The redness visibly disappears! It also cools down any heat in the skin while noticeably reducing overall blemishes on the face! It's truly the best!

Given its cica-based formula, those with extremely sensitive or reactive skin might not be able to use this product daily. However, it's great for gentle exfoliation once or twice a week.

(I'll update this review if I experience any discomfort or blemishes in the future.)

Overall, this toner has a clear, water-like texture. When first applied, it provides a refreshing sensation with a cooling effect. It absorbs quickly, leaving almost no residue, making it an excellent lightweight toner for daily use!

As a product containing cica ingredients, it worked well even on my sensitive skin. Initially, I was concerned about the cooling sensation, but the next day I noticed improvements in dead skin cell removal and skin texture. This made me realize that cica products could be suitable for me after all.

For those without super sensitive skin, you could even use it as a cooling and soothing mask by soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on your face for about 5 minutes!

Key points:
- Water-like texture (absorbs well)
- Refreshing sensation
- Suitable for sensitive skin (though avoid using as a mask)
- Helps remove dead skin cells and evens skin tone

It's best to use this toner generously on a cotton pad right after cleansing.
Since it has gentle ingredients, you could also keep it in the fridge during summer and use it as a cool, soothing mask with cotton pads.

The reason I deducted one star is the price. 
300ml for a regular price of 20,000 won seems a bit expensive in this era of many affordable, gentle toners. Considering the price, I didn't notice any outstanding skin improvements.
It might be worth buying during a sale.

Perfect for toner pad use! 

As someone with super sensitive skin, I find this gentle and non-irritating. It's great as a first-step toner.
The texture feels like flowing water, making it a truly refreshing toner. It's ideal for use with cotton pads.

I highly recommend this exfoliating toner! It refreshingly refines skin texture and, best of all, it's wonderfully lightweight.

There's nothing to dislike about this product - I'm completely satisfied! I definitely plan to repurchase.

Skin type: Dry
Usage period: 12 days
Texture: Fluid-like consistency
Scent: Fresh fragrance

First off, I'm not a fan of sticky or heavy textures! The APIEU Tetrazome Cica Toner has a light, fluid-like consistency that glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It's especially great for summer when heavy products are a big no-no. This toner feels refreshing right after application, which I absolutely love.

When it comes to toners, texture refinement is crucial, right? When I soak a cotton pad with the toner and gently wipe it along my skin's texture, it smooths out beautifully. As you can see in the attached photo, it leaves my skin hydrated and refines the texture, making it feel more supple when I apply serums or creams afterward.

I received this product just in time for my period, which is when I usually break out badly. Surprisingly, my blemishes seemed to calm down faster than usual! After using this exfoliating toner in my skincare routine and getting a good night's sleep, I noticed that my angry breakouts had visibly reduced and looked more soothed. Three cheers for this cica toner!

It applies well and feels nice when using a cotton pad, but there's a bit of stickiness after using it as a skin pack. However, since I apply essence or cream afterwards, it doesn't feel particularly inconvenient or disappointing.

In summer, my skin tends to have enlarged pores and redness. With my combination skin, I was looking for a refreshing toner, and this product seems to fit the bill nicely. It works well as an exfoliating toner and I'm also satisfied using it as a skin pack. After using it as a skin pack, I notice the burning sensation gradually subsiding, which is great. While it's marketed as a toner that helps with skin texture, I'm not sure about that yet. I think I'll need to use it a bit longer to tell. I'd like to try the serum and cream from the same line to use together.

Room for improvement:

1. Effectiveness: The product claims to be effective in removing stubborn dead skin cells, but I'm not sure about its efficacy yet. I think I need to use it for a longer period to see results.

2. Texture: Personally, I'm not a fan of the slippery feeling combined with the water base. It doesn't give me that clean, refreshed sensation, nor does it feel deeply hydrating. However, I think this is something I might need to get used to.

Features:

1. Texture: A water-like consistency with absolutely no stickiness. Interestingly, it feels quite slippery. I'm not sure if this sensation is due to the dead skin cells being removed, but the combination of the water base and the slippery feel was quite intriguing.

2. Scent: There is a fragrance, but it's mild enough that most people should be able to use it without issues. Personally, I didn't find it off-putting at all.

What I liked:

1. Product labeling: Sometimes cosmetic product descriptions can be confusing or unhelpful in their pursuit of stylish design. However, this product's description is concise, focused on key points, and easy to read. This made it simple to understand what the product is all about.

2. Eco-friendly: I noticed an ECO label on the sticker attached to the bottle. Upon closer inspection, I realized it's designed to peel off cleanly without leaving residue. This allows for easy recycling of the empty container, which I feel reflects well on current environmental concerns.

I highly recommend doing a toner pack followed by a massage with a cooling massager!

I don't have any particular complaints! In fact, my blemishes have calmed down a lot during the period of use, which is great! The price also seems reasonable.

For my combination dehydrated skin with redness and super sensitive skin, I focus a lot on soothing care. I was thrilled to win this product packed with madecassoside's calming effects!

I often hear that my face is always red due to severe redness. After washing my face, I soak a cotton pad with this A'pieu toner, apply it to my cheeks, and use a cooling massager to reduce the heat. It instantly soothes my skin! Although it becomes red again after a few hours, even that short period of relief is a big deal for me!

By doing this toner pack for hydration and using the cooling massager to lower the temperature, I feel like my complexion has become a bit brighter lately!

My skin has become so sensitive that sometimes even this toner caused a tingling sensation. If you have super sensitive skin, I'd recommend trying a sample first. While my skin felt moisturized and comfortable, I didn't notice any dramatic improvement in skin barrier strength. I've uploaded before and after photos from using it consistently for over a week!

After a bad experience with sunscreen that completely wrecked my skin, I was in a total panic! I spent ages searching for a sensitive skin line, and luckily I won this product as part of The Hwahae Testers program. I only used this toner when absolutely necessary for the review. The texture is somewhere between a watery and viscous toner. While it doesn't absorb super quickly, it feels more nourishing than your average toner. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, applying 2-3 layers of this toner left my skin plump and hydrated without any dryness! It's like a hybrid between a toner and essence, so I think it'll be perfect for summer use without feeling heavy.
