However, when I actually used it, it felt quite moisturizing as well! And when I patted it in, I could immediately feel my skin texture becoming more refined. I didn't want to physically exfoliate, but using this toner every other day for a wipe-off seems like a good idea.
ConsThe amount goes by really quickly! You can feel it diminishing after just one use. Compared to that, the overall toner volume seems a bit small.

At first, the watery formulation absorbs in, and when patted, a velvety oil film (?) is felt (a moisture film, not an oil film). Once fully absorbed, it leaves a smooth, matte-coated finish. I'm a combination skin type, but I felt it was a bit drying, so I used an additional moisture serum! My dry-skinned friend said it felt very drying and oily when she used it, so I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin types. Because of the exfoliating ingredients, if you use a cotton pad to apply the toner, you may feel some rough texture or gently rubbing the oily areas can make the skin feel a bit smoother. I think it's good to keep it on hand and use it occasionally to refresh the skin.
ConsThe stuffy fragrance was a bit off-putting at first, and on sensitive skin days, it can feel irritating or stinging.
TipThe rough cotton pad is not recommended... + It's better to use with a moisture cream/serum.

The thin formula is easy to apply after cleansing. As my skin is oily with some dryness, thicker toners would sometimes make my skin feel heavy or greasy, but this one absorbs lightly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any tightness or dryness. Many lightweight products also lack in moisturizing power, but this one manages to keep my skin comfortable even after use. - Gentle formula I have quite sensitive skin, and products with certain ingredients can cause redness and irritation. But I didn't experience any redness or stinging, even after using this toner multiple times. My husband, who has a different skin type than me, was also able to use it without any issues like breakouts or redness. Overall, this seems to be a gentle formula suitable for various skin types. - Helps refine skin texture and manage dead skin Instead of directly applying it to my face, I like to lightly wipe it on with a cotton pad. This helps smooth out my skin texture, and my makeup applies more evenly afterwards without any patchiness. During seasonal changes when my skin gets drier, I tend to get flaky areas around my nose and forehead. Wiping this toner on with a cotton pad helps manage those dry patches, and my makeup applies much more smoothly afterwards.
ConsWhile this toner is suitable for oily skin, it may feel a bit lacking in hydration for very dry skin types, so using a more moisturizing cream afterwards would be recommended.
Tip[Before Makeup] Applying this toner with a cotton pad before makeup helps prep the skin, allowing your base makeup to go on smoothly and evenly without any patchiness. [Soothing] For sensitive or dry areas, you can soak a cotton pad with the toner and leave it on to help calm and soothe the skin.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis toner helps to regulate the skin's texture by forming a protective barrier to maintain moisture without being irritating or drying. It also does not contain any allergens or harmful ingredients, so it is fragrance-free and can be used on sensitive skin without any additional testing. (Even with acne and sensitive skin, I was able to use it without any redness after cleansing.) Because it helps regulate the skin's texture, the absorption of the following products feels more effective. There is a noticeable difference in the level of moisture between the areas where I applied the toner and the areas where I did not.
ConsDue to the barrier it forms to maintain moisture, it may feel slightly sticky, so those who dislike that tacky sensation may not prefer this toner. However, the stickiness is not very pronounced, and it should not be an issue once you apply serum or ampoule creams. (Personally, I did not find it to be very sticky, but my husband could feel the tackiness.)
TipAfter using the Biore products, I found that they have a characteristic of forming a protective barrier. (In the case of this toner, it is less pronounced, but) using products from the same brand may provide better synergy. As this product helps to regulate the skin's texture, I found that applying the toner-soaked cotton pad and gently patting it on the skin helped to further improve the skin's smoothness and radiance. And by pressing the toner into the skin one more time, I felt that my skin became even more refined. After exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, applying the toner to provide moisture helps the following products to be absorbed better and the moisture to last longer.

It absorbs well into the skin and is easy to wipe off with a cotton pad. If your skin is very dry, you can also just pour a bit into your palm and gently pat it in. The scent is similar to SK-II Pitera, with a slightly lingering fragrance, so it may not be suitable for those sensitive to fragrances. Personally, I don't mind the scent and have been using it well. I don't have high expectations for toners, so I gave this product a 5-star rating as it performs the basic functions of a toner well. Since I have an oily complexion and am not prone to excessive dryness or flakiness, I didn't particularly notice it deeply exfoliating or removing a lot of dead skin.
ConsI don't have any major complaints, but if I had to point out one thing, it would be that the toner opening is a bit too small. The amount that comes out with each use is on the smaller side, so I have to dispense it a few times to get the right amount in my palm. If the opening was slightly wider, allowing it to come out in about 3 pumps instead of 10, that would be more convenient.

My skin is oily, prone to blackheads, and troublesome. It's not exactly sensitive, but I often feel a burning sensation on my skin, depending on its condition. First of all, being a water-based toner, the texture is very refreshing. I didn't experience any stickiness, and it absorbed quickly, almost as if I hadn't applied anything, while slightly improving my skin texture. I also felt like my skin produced less oil during the day when using this toner. So far, I haven't experienced any irritation or discomfort while using it. Considering that it's an exfoliating toner, it seems to be quite gentle.
ConsUnlike other reviews, I didn't particularly feel that it helped reduce the burning sensation on my skin. And among the first essence products, there are some that dramatically improve skin texture right after application, but I didn't experience such a dramatic effect. However, if you're looking for a gentle daily item, considering the cost-effectiveness, it's not a bad choice.
TipSince it's a water-based toner, it tends to get into the eyes easily. It's really, really stinging. Tears are flowing... Everyone, please be careful not to get it in your eyes.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture and a very subtle fragrance were a bit different from the toner I had been using so far. Not only the appearance of the product, but also the quality felt premium! When applied, it doesn't feel sticky, but rather a slight oiliness is felt during cleansing, which seems to enhance the moisturizing power. I also have oily skin on the surface but tend to have severe dryness inside, so I don't like it to feel too greasy. I tried using it with a cotton pad as well as directly with my hands, and it was all well-absorbed into my face.
ConsThese days, toners tend to come in larger volumes, but this one feels a bit small, so I'll probably have to refill it more often.
TipDue to the small pore size, I need to shake it several times to get the amount I can use in one application.

I used it with a cotton pad and found that it absorbed very well. During this transitional weather, I've been dealing with increased dead skin and small blemishes, but after using this product consistently for a week, I noticed a soothing effect without any irritation. I expected some level of irritation, but this product was incredibly gentle. I felt that it effectively cleansed and exfoliated my skin. I'm quite satisfied with the results, so I plan to purchase it again once I finish the current bottle.
ConsThe toner seems to be on the pricier side. If you dislike runny formulations, you may not enjoy this product.
TipTry applying it like a face mask by soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on your skin. This can help gently remove dead skin cells without much irritation, leaving your skin looking more radiant.

It maintains a moisturized state for a long time. I felt the final step of patting on the cushion provided a brightening and seamless finish, as if the old skin was gently removed.
ConsThe scent is not unpleasant, but I would prefer a more feminine and pleasant fragrance.
TipSince it's spring, your skin may be battling fine dust. After soothing your skin, generously apply the toner and pat it in - this will leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth.

However, it is not overpowering. โข Usage Experience: Unlike some other toners, there is no stinging or discomfort when applying this product. It absorbs slowly and maintains a moisturized feel until the serum is applied. As a dehydrated skin type, I found this toner to be suitable for use in the winter and spring seasons. After using this toner morning and evening for a week, I did not experience any breakouts or irritation, so I found it to be a gentle formula.
ConsThe product is so gentle that I'd like to layer it or use it with a cotton pad, but the amount seems a bit small. I think I'll use it up quickly.
TipI think this toner would work well layered during the transitional seasons or winter, as it can help boost hydration without causing any trouble.
