  Pros

  The formula is a really lightweight water toner, and I thought it was mainly for smoothing dead skin cells and refining skin texture. But when I actually used it, it's even hydrating! When I pat it in until it's fully absorbed, I can instantly feel my skin texture becoming more refined. I didn't want to physically exfoliate, so using this kind of exfoliating toner every other day seems like a great option.

  Cons

  The product runs out so quickly! You can really feel it diminishing rapidly even after just one use. Compared to that, the overall amount of toner seems quite small.

  Pros

  The texture is like water with no stickiness - using a cotton pad enhances its effectiveness even more. It feels very similar to the Ma** PHA toner (probably because they're both PHA toners), so if that one worked well for you, this one likely will too! I liked it so much I recommended it to my sister. Her verdict? 'It makes my face feel firm and supple, and my skin texture has really improved.'

  Cons

  I didn't find any downsides, probably because PHA ingredients work well for me. Since it's a PHA toner, I'd recommend testing if PHA suits your skin before using it regularly.

  Tip

  After wiping your face with a cotton pad, apply another layer directly to achieve a smooth complexion.

  Pros

  I've been using this product for 1-2 weeks since receiving it. It was my first time trying the Biodance brand, so I used it with a mix of excitement and apprehension. I can definitely say that when I use this toner on a cotton pad to cleanse my face in the evening, my skin texture feels different the next day. It seems to be effective for dead skin cell management, probably due to the PHA ingredients. After looking into the ingredients, I found they're quite gentle, so I think even those with super sensitive skin could use it well!

  Cons

  There aren't really any downsides, but since this product contains 8% PHA ingredients, I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't like or can't tolerate PHA components.

  Tip

  I recommend this to people who think their skin is too sensitive and might be irritated by exfoliation. Even though it contains 8% PHA for effective dead skin cell removal, the ingredients are mild enough for those with sensitive skin to use comfortably. You'll definitely notice that if you use this toner the night before an important day, your makeup applies better and your complexion looks visibly improved the next morning.

  Pros

  This toner alone makes my makeup apply so smoothly. I've been using it with a cotton pad, and it creates a perfectly prepped canvas for makeup. It's amazing how this one product replaces my usual routine of exfoliating cleanser, hydrating mud mask, and moisturizing toner. It smooths out dead skin cells and creates a silky skin texture, essentially doing the job of two skincare steps. The scent is very subtle, just the natural fragrance of the ingredients. When I leave it on my face with a cotton pad, it really refines my rough skin texture - and I'm not exaggerating, it's genuinely effective!

  Cons

  While it didn't cause any blemishes or irritation, it's not exactly a cooling toner. So using it alone in the peak of summer might leave your face feeling a bit warm. But then again, not many people use toner alone. If you follow up with sunscreen after using this to smooth out dead skin cells, the warm feeling should dissipate. Add some makeup on top, and you'll have skin that rivals any celebrity's. Update after more use: The warm feeling I initially experienced was likely due to the cotton pad. When I got lazy and just splashed it on my face like I was in a commercial, it actually felt quite refreshing.

  Tip

  It does exactly what it says on the bottle. Definitely capable of taming unruly dead skin cells. It's better to apply it by dripping directly onto your face like a serum or using a cotton pad, rather than with your hands, as it makes your hands feel sticky too. I'm not exaggerating when I say it makes your skin feel incredibly supple. Highly recommended as a base for flawless makeup application! P.S. I used to use an essence fixer, but this toner makes my skin even more supple than that did.

  Pros

  This toner effectively manages dead skin cells while forming a protective layer that keeps the skin moisturized without irritation or dryness, helping to refine skin texture. I appreciated that it's free from allergens and harmful ingredients, has no fragrance, and can be used on sensitive skin without additional testing. (I have acne-prone, sensitive skin, and I could use this as an exfoliating toner without experiencing any redness.) It seems to improve the absorption of subsequent products, perhaps due to its exfoliating properties. There's a noticeable difference in hydration between areas where the toner is applied and where it isn't. While some find the bottle opening inconvenient, I think it dispenses an appropriate amount and allows the user to control the quantity by shaking. (Isn't this typical for most toner bottles anyway?)

  Cons

  The protective layer it forms to maintain hydration might create a slightly sticky feeling, which could be a turn-off for those who dislike any tackiness. However, this stickiness likely becomes less noticeable once you apply serums, ampoules, or creams. (Personally, I found the stickiness minimal, but my husband, who is more sensitive to texture, said it felt sticky.)

  Tip

  After trying Biodance products, I've noticed they tend to form a unique protective layer (though less so with the toner). Using products from the same brand might create better synergy. Since it's a PHA exfoliating product, I found that soaking a cotton pad with the toner, placing it on the skin, and then wiping resulted in better skin refinement and a brighter complexion. Following up with another layer of toner, gently pressed into the skin, seemed to make my skin feel even smoother! Softening dead skin cells, wiping them away, and then hydrating with the toner not only improves the absorption of subsequent products but also prolongs the moisturizing effect.

  Pros

  Unlike other toners I've used before, this one leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft after use. It really seems to even out my skin texture!! I've always been concerned about whiteheads around my nose and on the sides, and while I didn't notice much difference in the first few days, with consistent use, I feel it's better now than before I started using it.

  Cons

  It seems like a good daily product that doesn't cause blemishes, but there's just one thing - the scent is a bit... disappointing.

  Pros

  I have sensitive skin and tend to get dead skin cells when applying makeup, so I usually use enzyme cleansers to exfoliate. I've learned that PHA is one of the gentlest exfoliating ingredients. Still, since my skin can be quite reactive, I was a bit worried and only used it on days when my skin was in good condition! After about a week of use, combined with my enzyme cleanser, I definitely feel like my skin texture has improved! The formula is completely watery, and I loved that it wasn't irritating when applying.

  Cons

  I'm not sure if it's because of exam stress or this product, but I got a few blemishes.

  Tip

  If you're super sensitive to irritation like me, use this as an absorbing toner rather than an exfoliating one!

  Pros

  Here's my review after using the product for 5 days since it arrived. With the changing seasons, my skin has been acting up with small bumps, inflamed acne, and redness. Even though it's supposed to be mild, I was a bit worried about using a product with exfoliating properties. However, it turned out to be an incredibly gentle toner. There was absolutely no stinging or irritation, and I could really feel it refining my skin texture. The gentle exfoliation naturally helped reduce the appearance of those small bumps! And the hydration is amazing! Even with just the toner, my skin felt moisturized without any tightness. The only thing is, perhaps because I've only used it for a short time, I haven't noticed that outer glow yet.

  Cons

  The scent... oh dear. For me, the fragrance is really unpleasant. It's a bit better if you layer other skincare products on top right away, but since this is the first thing you apply after cleansing, the scent lingers on your face, which is disappointing. I really wish they could improve the fragrance.

  Tip

  For best results in refining skin texture, apply it gently with a soft cotton pad using rolling motions.

  Pros

  Clean and sophisticated packaging: The sleek design really catches the eye. I love that the transparent bottle lets you see how much toner is left. Exfoliates and purifies: I used it as an exfoliating toner in the morning, and I could feel it removing dead skin cells and impurities. After nearly a week of use, I definitely notice smoother skin texture! My makeup applies more evenly, and my skin feels noticeably softer to the touch. Scent and texture: It's almost fragrance-free, but there's a slight 'clean' scent when applied. The watery texture works well for both pat-on application and as an exfoliating toner. I preferred using it as an exfoliating toner for maximum effect. Gentle formula: As someone with super sensitive skin, I've had no issues or blemishes. For sensitive skin types, I'd recommend using it every other day or 2-3 times a week for exfoliation. The watery texture makes the generous amount last quite a while with this usage. Finish: I tried it as a pat-on toner too! The attached photo shows it before full absorption - once absorbed, it doesn't leave that shiny look. It doesn't dry matte, but leaves a plump finish. If you prefer a completely non-sticky finish, you might find it slightly tacky. While I usually like a matte finish, I found this plumping effect quite nice.

  Cons

  The scent was a bit disappointing for me. Those sensitive to fragrances might want to keep this in mind before purchasing.

  Tip

  For combination dehydrated skin, it works well both as an exfoliating toner or pat-on toner, but I'd lean towards recommending it as an exfoliating toner. It's great for removing dead skin cells and improving skin texture, so if you're in the market for an exfoliating toner, I highly recommend this!

  Pros

  As the product name suggests, this toner seems great for removing dead skin cells! While I didn't feel an immediate softening effect when using it, my skin condition was excellent the next day after using it at night. When I soaked a cotton pad generously with the toner and wiped it along my skin texture at night, I could feel my skin become softer the next morning! The toner's texture feels very watery, but you might find it slightly sticky after application. It's not an overly bothersome stickiness, just a bit heavier compared to other water-based toners. However, it provides a good level of hydration, so I didn't experience much dryness. The scent is almost fragrance-free, making it suitable for those sensitive to fragrances.

  Cons

  As someone who doesn't usually exfoliate, I found this toner satisfactory on its own. However, if you regularly exfoliate, you might find it lacking when used alone. It's best to think of it as a product that gently smooths out dead skin cells. The texture isn't as light as typical toners, so it might feel heavy for oily skin types during summer. Even with my dry skin, I thought I might not reach for it much in the peak of summer.

  Tip

  I recommend using this more as an exfoliating toner rather than an astringent! Since it helps refine skin texture, you'll notice the biggest effect when applying it with a cotton pad.
