I have redness on both cheeks with slightly enlarged pores. I also have oily skin with some localized red acne scars. Overall, this toner was just okay for me, unfortunately. The formula is completely transparent and water-like! I was satisfied that despite being a hydrating toner that fills the skin with moisture, it didn't have a heavy texture. It seems to have some exfoliating effects too - when I applied it at night, my skin felt smooth the next morning!
ConsAfter using it, I thought it had fully absorbed, but I felt a slightly sticky sensation on my face all day, which was uncomfortable. Since it's a water-like toner, I accidentally spilled a bit on the floor, and it felt sticky like spilled juice! I wondered if it was due to the toner's ingredients, but I prefer a finish that feels moisturized or well-absorbed, so this aspect wasn't great for me. When applying it to my face, there's a subtle scent... It's hard to describe, but it's somewhat metallic and vinegar-like? Other reviews mention it's close to unscented, but I'm sensitive to cosmetic scents, so I found the fragrance a bit disappointing.
TipBecause the sticky feeling lasts a long time, I found it less bothersome to apply after cleansing at night rather than after morning cleansing!

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?)
ConsThe 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.)
TipAfter 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.

Watery consistency 👉Application: Used in place of Dokdo Toner. Initially applies smoothly like water After use 👉Skin condition: Used with Daiso cotton pads soaked in toner. Glides on smoothly at first, but becomes sticky over time. Feels like it's tightening pores, yet oil appears around and on the nose 👉Morning after: Significant oil production. After applying toner and drying with cool air, skin feels tight. Personally, it doesn't suit me well. The initial stickiness makes it feel like it's attracting all the dust in the house
ConsIt's just way too sticky. Feels like it's attracting every speck of dust in the world
TipIf you insist on using it, try drying it with cool air after applying the toner

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFor oily, acne-prone skin, exfoliation is crucial, and this product's biggest advantage is that it dissolves and calms dead skin cells just by using it as a toner! Its runny texture provides just the right amount of hydration for oily skin without feeling oily or overly moisturizing. Unlike the preconception that exfoliating toners are harsh, this one is mild and gentle on the skin! After use, makeup applies smoothly without pilling around areas like the sides of the nose. Personally, I'm a big fan of PIGEON's exfoliating toner and always use it before makeup. This product is very similar but costs almost half the price, which is fantastic! I've been using only this lately.
ConsIt tends to leave a sticky feeling on the skin. Especially when patted in, it becomes even stickier. I use it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad, but even then, the skin feels slightly sticky when touched.
TipUse it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad, then follow up with a non-sticky hydrating gel or serum to reduce the stickiness.

The text is engraved directly on the bottle instead of using a sticker, giving it a sleek appearance. - Texture: It has a water-like consistency with hardly any viscosity. - Scent: Fragrance-free, making it suitable for those with scent sensitivities. - Application: I primarily used it as an exfoliating toner by applying it with a cotton pad. It absorbs quickly and didn't cause any irritation. - Pros: The PHA and LHA ingredients help manage dead skin cells, so I didn't need extra exfoliation. My makeup applied smoothly without flaking. After using this toner, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture when applying makeup in the morning. I'm pleased that it didn't trigger any major breakouts during use.
ConsWhile the formula itself is very fluid like water, it leaves a slightly sticky feeling after absorption.

A product that doesn't cause irritation! PHA (polyhydroxy acid) is a water-soluble ingredient known as the next-generation peeling agent. It minimizes skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin, while providing hydration and excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It's great for dry/oily/sensitive skin types! The Biodance product contains 80,000ppm of PHA, and I didn't feel any irritation when using it! Just one application was enough to feel the hydration after absorption! A product that satisfies blemish-prone oily skin! My sister has oily skin prone to blemishes, so we tried it together, and she said it seems to be a good product. It's great for managing dead skin cells and impurities, while also contributing to a healthier skin barrier! A product that even sensitive skin can use without worry! Despite containing ingredients that manage dead skin cells and impurities, I was worried it might not suit my skin. However, those concerns were unfounded as it turned out to be such a gentle product! My skin became smooth, and the milia disappeared! Moist & bouncy texture Despite having a watery consistency, I didn't feel any dryness after applying and absorbing it! It definitely feels different from toners of other brands! It has a lightweight texture but still provides a moist and bouncy feeling, so I could even save on the moisturizer I usually slather on at night. A refreshing scent that lifts your mood I'm not sure if 'refreshing' is the right word, but it reminds me of the scent of a soda-flavored popsicle. I love that kind of scent! I found it to be a pleasant, inoffensive fragrance.
ConsWhile it feels moist and bouncy, I could also sense a slightly slippery or sticky feeling after use. However, since I'm someone who applies night cream before bed anyway, that level of stickiness didn't bother me at all.
TipHere's how my sister with blemish-prone oily skin used it: She soaked a cotton pad generously with the toner and placed it on her cheeks, nose, and forehead (areas with many blemishes) for 5-10 minutes like a mask. Then she gently patted along the skin texture and let it absorb. Thanks to this method, we could see that her blemishes had calmed down significantly! Don't forget to apply sunscreen! Since it contains ingredients that dissolve dead skin cells and remove impurities, make sure to apply sunscreen to prevent pigmentation and skin damage from sun exposure.

It's not a constant tingling, but rather brief moments in different spots. This is likely due to the exfoliation process using acids, even if they're mild. Fortunately, it didn't cause any blemishes on my skin. - I mainly used it at night, and the next morning my skin feels smooth and slightly glossy. - I could barely detect any fragrance.
ConsAfter applying it to your face and patting it in, the product suddenly becomes incredibly sticky, like glue. When you try to remove your fingers from your face, the skin slightly lifts as it sticks to your fingertips. The stickiness is a bit excessive.

First off, it has a water-like texture, so I applied it with a cotton pad. Given its liquid consistency, I thought it would run out quickly, but using it with a cotton pad helped me use just the right amount - very economical! As an exfoliating toner, I've been using it daily, and it's been fantastic for my thick skin! There's hardly any scent to it...
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but despite its water-like texture, I expected a fresh finish. Instead, it felt stickier than I anticipated!

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I need to use BHA pads every 3 days during seasonal changes and daily in summer to prevent an explosion of blackheads, whiteheads, and rough texture. Especially during transitional seasons, when my skin is extremely dry underneath but oily and flaky on top, the Biodance toner allows for gentle daily exfoliation without the need for physical scrubbing with pads. Applying it 2-3 times at night results in smoother skin the next morning. The hydration level is also satisfactory.
Cons1. It may feel a bit weak for managing blackheads on oily skin. 2. Scent: It's not unscented, but has a strange odor that's hard to define - somewhat similar to wine? 3. Leaves a slightly sticky finish
TipFor more intense exfoliation, use it as an exfoliating toner by applying it with a textured cotton pad.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Noticeable improvement in skin texture after just one day of use - Skin feels smooth after cleansing - Maintains a firm, bouncy feeling from the moment of application - Visible pore-minimizing effect from the second day of use - No worsening of blemishes - Seems to enhance absorption of subsequent skincare products (e.g. creams) - Skin feels relatively matte even after applying the usual amount of cream - No deep dryness <Usage Environment> - Used for about 3 days - Applied 3-4 layers as the first step in morning and evening skincare routines - Blemish-prone skin - Oily skin type
Cons- Strong scent reminiscent of wine or vinegar - No improvement in existing blemishes - Feels sticky and slightly suffocating on the skin - May give a momentary sensation of surface dryness (though no deep dryness) - Leaves a slippery film that feels like it's being washed off during cleansing
Tip- If skin feels congested, try applying another water-based toner first or mixing it with this product for improvement - Would consider repurchasing
