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!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I have combination dehydrated skin. It's that time of year when my skin is incredibly dry underneath, with dead skin cells surfacing, but give it a little time and it becomes an oil slick... The best thing I've noticed while using this toner consistently is how smooth my skin has become! Usually, I avoid applying toners before bed because they're either too watery or as heavy as ampoules. But the Biodance PHA Toner is uniquely fascinating! It feels like plain water, but it absorbs into the skin as if creating a protective layer (I'm sure those who've tried it know exactly what I mean!) When I use just this for skincare before bed, I wake up with the perfect balance of oil! My skin feels silky smooth. Ah... it's smooth right after application and still smooth the next day. After washing my face, it feels soft, supple, and silky smooth! To be precise, it feels like it's addressing my deep dryness. I wonder if this is the process of dead skin cells being removed? I've been using it religiously lately. I'm so happy that my skin is becoming smoother day by day. It's the perfect combination of hydration, softness, moisture, and smoothness. It feels like a lot of dead skin cells have disappeared, and I think it's a toner well-suited for oily skin types.
ConsEverything else was fine for me, but I didn't quite like the scent of the toner. Even with just a slight whiff, I couldn't seem to get used to it.
TipMy skin feels the tightest right after washing, so I always pat it in twice to absorb. This way, the moisture lasts longer, and even with this method, I don't wake up too oily in the morning!

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

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

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsClean 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.
ConsThe scent was a bit disappointing for me. Those sensitive to fragrances might want to keep this in mind before purchasing.
TipFor 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!

You can feel it working as soon as you wipe your face with a cotton pad. Seems perfect to use before applying makeup.
ConsThe scent is a bit off-putting. Being unscented, it has a slightly unpleasant odor. A pro and con at the same time: even with extremely oily skin, you feel dryness and tightness immediately after use, so you need to follow up with a hydrating product right away.
TipFor those whose makeup tends to bring out excess oil, using this before applying makeup should help keep that sebum under control.

It has a watery texture without any stickiness, which I personally prefer. The lightweight plastic packaging dispenses just the right amount of product. Surprisingly gentle and mild on the skin. I'm a bit of a skincare nomad due to my super sensitive skin, always trying new products from cleansers to toners, serums, and creams. While this isn't a 'holy grail' product, it's good enough that I'm considering repurchasing after I finish this bottle. Though my usage period has been short, I felt like my complexion became clearer (though this could be placebo), and it seemed to help with dead skin cell removal. Importantly, it didn't cause any new blemishes or skin irritation. The lightweight application makes it great for evening out skin texture.
ConsWhile it's close to being fragrance-free, there's a slight lingering scent. It doesn't seem to have a dramatic effect on blemishes like blackheads or whiteheads (though this could be due to the short usage period). As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I find it a bit drying. If I get lazy and don't follow up with proper hydration, my skin feels tight. Those with dry skin types should pay extra attention to moisturizing after use.
TipFor best results, I'd recommend using this for evening out skin texture, then following up with a hydrating serum and slathering on a rich cream. This combo helps combat any dryness and leaves your skin with a nice glow!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst, the ingredients! It contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol, making it perfect for hydration. Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes. It's a watery toner that flows immediately when applied! Rather than leaving residue, it's an amazing toner that makes your skin feel plump with just moisture. I typically do my makeup in the morning, so I use this toner during my skincare routine before applying makeup. It definitely makes my skin texture feel more refined, and my makeup seems to apply better! I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but... I feel like my complexion is brightening with continued use. I think I'm even getting a bit of a glow in my apple zone!
ConsAs someone sensitive to scents, I found the slight acetone smell a bit disappointing. The bottle opening is quite narrow, which made it a bit tricky to control the amount of toner when using it as an exfoliating toner.
TipFor your pre-makeup skincare routine, try putting the toner in a spray bottle, spritz it onto half a cotton pad, do a toner pack, then wipe off while refining your skin texture - it works wonders! (Though transferring it to another container can be time-consuming due to the narrow opening.) I usually exfoliate twice a week with a powder cleanser. Even though both products contain exfoliating ingredients and are gentle, using them together might irritate sensitive skin, so I alternate days when using them.

It's perfect for use before makeup or as part of your night care routine. I highly recommend it for daily use as it's just right and poses no issues at all. The ingredients are gentle and it even helps with dead skin cell care. It's especially great for those with acne-prone yet oily skin who need regular exfoliation - it's ideal for daily use!
ConsThe scent is a bit off-putting, but if you don't have super sensitive skin, it should be fine!

When I use it for toner masking or as an absorbing toner, it provides intense hydration right from the start.
Cons1. I couldn't really feel any dead skin cell removal effects. 2. The scent is unpleasant, so if it gets in your mouth during toner masking, it tastes bad.
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, this would be great for toner masking or as an absorbing toner during seasonal changes or winter. In winter, I think it's good to layer it up to three times.
