  Pros

  Biodance Skin has launched three new variants for different skin types, and I've been using the Mild PHA Toner for about 10 days. It's a watery formula containing 8% PHA and LHA, exfoliating ingredients that help remove dead skin cells. Great ingredients: It doesn't contain any harmful or allergy-triggering components, making it gentle even for my super sensitive skin. Mild scent: There's no overpowering fragrance, so it's pleasant to use. Application method: When I applied it directly with my hands, it stung quite a bit. Make sure to use a cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin's texture. You can really feel it working on those dead skin cells - the exfoliating effect is definitely noticeable!

  Cons

  Blemishes: As someone with sensitive combination dehydrated skin, I didn't experience any blemishes at all!

  Tip

  With the weather getting much hotter and since you need to use this exfoliating toner with a cotton pad, refrigerating it is a must!

  Pros

  Skin type: Combination dehydrated, super sensitive skin The toner has a water-like consistency that flows easily, making it nice to apply as the first step. Usually, my skin feels dry right after applying toner post-cleansing, but with this product, I didn't experience much dryness! The scent is a bit noticeable each time I apply it, but I actually prefer this to products with added fragrances. My skin tends to have redness and has become more sensitive lately, but after using this product, I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation.

  Cons

  While it's a PHA toner, I didn't really notice much effect on dead skin cells... I think I'll need to use it more consistently to see results.

  Tip

  Quick take: A toner that's great for daily, fuss-free use.

  Pros

  This is my first time trying a PHA toner! I was worried it might be too harsh, but it didn't irritate even my super sensitive skin. Although I've only been using it for two weeks, I feel like the roughness of my skin has decreased. Especially when I use it before applying makeup, it helps remove dead skin cells, making my makeup go on much more smoothly.

  Cons

  Since I haven't used it extensively, I haven't found any drawbacks yet. For those with super sensitive skin, I'd recommend starting with using it twice a week rather than daily. If it works well for you, you can gradually increase the frequency of use.

  Pros

  First off, I love that the ingredients are suitable for oily, sensitive, and combination dehydrated skin! As it's a PHA toner, it's excellent for removing dead skin cells. I had high expectations for Biodance products since they're known for being gentle with great ingredients, and I'm even more impressed that it's fragrance-free as expected, which increases my trust in the product.

  Cons

  There's nothing disappointing to report yet! Even though I'm prone to blemishes, none have appeared.

  Tip

  To avoid using too much product, I recommend applying it with a cotton pad or transferring some to an empty bottle to use as a mist.

  Pros

  As someone with sensitive, dry skin, my face usually feels tight after wearing makeup for a while, and if I neglect exfoliation, dead skin cells easily build up, causing my makeup to break down unattractively. However, since my skin is sensitive, I can't carelessly use strong exfoliating products as they can easily irritate my skin. I was satisfied with this product because it's gentle on the skin. I especially liked using it for night care - it brightened my complexion and left my skin feeling smooth the next day, which made me even more pleased.

  Cons

  Since my skin is on the dry side, it worked well for me, but I think it might be a bit heavy for those with extremely oily skin that produces excessive sebum. While it would probably be suitable for all skin types in the dead of winter, it might be challenging to use as the weather gets warmer. Personally, I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, so the scent didn't bother me much.

  Tip

  It seems like a good idea to soak a cotton pad generously with the product and use it as a mask.

  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

  The formula is quite fluid. I have sensitive skin, and usually when I use toners, I get blemishes or redness. However, with this product, I gently apply it using a cotton pad, then reapply it like a regular toner, and so far, I haven't experienced any blemishes! It's great that it can exfoliate dead skin cells without irritation, even without using a separate exfoliator. It's so gentle, which I love. There's a slight hint of alcohol scent, but it's not overpowering and is close to being unscented.

  Cons

  There aren't many downsides, but it's quite runny. While this makes it good for using as a toner with cotton pads or leaving on the skin, you need to be careful when using it as a regular toner. For those with super sensitive skin or acne-prone skin, it's best to avoid daily use. Instead, use it every other day or just once a day, either morning or evening. It might be better to transfer it to a mist bottle for use.

  Tip

  I find it works really well when transferred to a mist bottle - it doesn't drip and is much more convenient to use.

  Pros

  The gentleness is its standout feature. I've always found AHA and BHA products to cause stinging and increased sensitivity, so I've never been able to use them consistently. However, with PHA, I definitely noticed it was much gentler and non-irritating. The texture is perfect for an exfoliating toner, feeling like 95% water with just 5% viscosity. It's excellent as a toner pack too. When the weather suddenly turned hot, I soaked a cotton pad generously and left it on for about 5 minutes. It instantly cooled my skin and provided a boost of hydration. It also helped calm down a few blemishes that had popped up on my face and back.

  Cons

  After a week of use, I can't say I've noticed immediate results in terms of dead skin cell care. I'll need to use it for a longer period to see more significant effects.

  Tip

  This toner is particularly well-suited as an exfoliating toner, more so than just a regular toner you apply.

  Pros

  This toner feels like clear water, but it applies like an ampoule, which was great for my dry skin. I love how it gently exfoliates and deeply hydrates without causing irritation. However, it does leave a slightly sticky feeling after application, which might be a bit disappointing. I wonder if those with oily skin might have mixed feelings about it. Of course, it's developed to suit all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and combination dehydrated skin, so it should be safe for everyone to use. Personally, I'm satisfied that the fragrance isn't too strong. While I need to use it a bit longer, after about a week of using it twice daily, morning and night, I can feel some improvement in my deep dryness and skin texture.

  Cons

  There are various opinions about the packaging, and it does look a bit cheap. However, I'm one of those who believe that what's inside is what truly matters.

  Tip

  I recommend using it as an evening mask with a cotton pad for 5-10 minutes. It seems to help gently dissolve dead skin cells and boost hydration.

  Pros

  For 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.

  Cons

  It 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.

  Tip

  Use it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad, then follow up with a non-sticky hydrating gel or serum to reduce the stickiness.
