Cons- The toner outlet is too small, causing spillage when not in use - Would be great if the volume was upgraded a bit
TipGreat for use as a soothing mask when kept in the refrigerator

I felt my skin become instantly smoother. ✨Sensitivity: I have extremely sensitive skin that reddens at the slightest irritation, but so far, I haven't experienced any redness or blemishes while using this. In fact, thanks to the complex cica ingredients, it seems to have significantly calmed the redness I usually get before my period. ✨Texture care: The most important aspect I look for in exfoliating products is texture improvement, and I could feel a noticeable smoothing of rough patches and whiteheads. ✨Scent: While not strong enough to bother those sensitive to fragrances, it has a herbal scent reminiscent of cica. I liked this as it's evidence of the cica ingredients. ✨Overall: Among toners with exfoliating ingredients, I-soi PHA toner was my holy grail, and I found this product quite similar. Above all, I appreciated the inclusion of cica ingredients.
ConsThere are no real downsides! The only minor issue is that it can drip a bit when opening and closing the cap, but that's to be expected with liquid toners. It wasn't significant enough to consider it a drawback.

The Torimide Balance Full Cica Exfoliating Toner has a water-like texture with a slight oiliness, giving it a subtle viscosity. When applied, it forms a thin oil film on the skin. It doesn't feel heavy at all, so it seems suitable for oily skin types to use even in winter! I have severe deep dryness, so I layer it 2-3 times, and it absorbs quickly. While it doesn't completely eliminate my deep dryness, it's more effective than other toners I've tried. I've used it as a soaking toner, pack toner, and exfoliating toner. For dead skin cell removal, the pack method seems most effective. The soaking method is great for hydration, but I didn't notice much exfoliation. The exfoliating method showed slight improvement. I experienced no irritation. As it removes dead skin cells, it seems to reduce the appearance of small bumps on my skin. The product is essentially fragrance-free.
ConsThose who dislike the feeling of a slippery oil film might not enjoy the texture. While I didn't experience any irritation on my blemish-prone skin, I didn't notice any soothing effects either. The bottle opening makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed, so it tends to pour out quickly.
TipI use it as a pack toner before makeup and as an exfoliating toner in the evening. When used as a pack toner, it definitely helps my makeup apply more smoothly and reduces flakiness around acne areas. There's a noticeable difference in how my makeup looks on the areas where I've applied it as a pack versus where I haven't.

After cleansing, I could immediately feel the hydration after layering it about 3 times with my hands. Feeling on skin: Despite its viscosity, I worried it might not absorb well, but it sank in quickly without sitting on top of the skin, leaving my face feeling firm and supple. Recently, my skin barrier has been compromised, making my skin sensitive and prone to blemishes, but this didn't sting or worsen my acne - it actually felt soothing! Scent: At first, I thought I detected a slight green scent, but after using it a few times, it feels almost unscented. Even those sensitive to fragrances probably won't mind it. Overall: I love the large, transparent bottle that lets you see the product inside! I think this toner is suitable even for sensitive skin types. When applied after cleansing, you can instantly feel it replenishing moisture. Highly recommended!
ConsThis might just be me, but I found the bottle opening a bit inconvenient for patting the toner on. When trying to dispense it into my hand, it would drip down the sides, and I was concerned about hygiene when trying to apply it directly from the bottle to my face. So, I've been using it by transferring some into an empty ampoule bottle. However, for those who like to use exfoliating toners, this packaging might actually be convenient!
TipFor patting application, consider transferring the product into an empty ampoule or mist bottle for easier use.

The scent isn't overpowering, so I barely noticed it while using. What surprised me about this toner is how incredibly hydrating it is - I didn't know a toner could be this moisturizing! To be honest, I didn't really feel much of a soothing effect, but the exceptional hydration was remarkable. Using this toner for a moisture boost before makeup allowed me to reduce my skincare steps, which was fantastic. While I've seen Torriden's Hyaluronic Acid Toner recommended everywhere, I never felt compelled to try it. But after using this toner, I'm thinking I should give the Hyaluronic Acid one a go next time!
ConsI don't usually use exfoliating toners and prefer to pat toners on, always dispensing into my hand first. However, the bottle opening made it really inconvenient to pour into my hand. Since the formula is so watery, it would always spill to the sides, which was frustrating.

During seasonal changes, my skin becomes more sensitive and prone to flushing. However, I had the chance to try the Torimden Balance Full Cica Exfoliating Toner. I applied it using a pad as an exfoliating toner. I was worried it might be drying since I expected a fresh type, but surprisingly, the hydration lasted significantly after application. Of course, you need to follow up with a serum, but it wasn't the kind of toner that leaves your skin feeling so light that you need to rush to apply serum immediately. I wanted to show you in photos, but while I could see the difference with my own eyes, it barely showed up in pictures, so I skipped that. Even though I thought I cleansed well, when I used the exfoliating toner, I could see faint traces of dirt on the pad. After using it for a few days, I noticed my nose became noticeably smoother and glowier. I usually use disposable cotton pads, which are effective on their own, but during the trial period, I refrained from using them. Instead, I gently swept the toner-soaked pad over my sensitive cheeks and thoroughly wiped my T-zone, which is usually oily. This method showed definite results. With daily use, you won't need to use potentially irritating physical exfoliants.
ConsThis isn't really a drawback of the product, but rather a quirk of my skin - when I use pads, my skin tends to get itchy and irritated, making my redness worse. This product was no exception, unfortunately. My skin is truly one of a kind! If you soak the toner pad too much, it can drip and get into your eyes during application, which caused some irritation. To fix this, I used an extra dry pad to adjust the amount.
TipAfter using the toner pad on my face, I found it great for cleaning inside my ears and behind them before discarding. As everyone knows, exfoliating toners can be irritating for sensitive skin, so it's crucial to be gentle and use them sparingly on delicate areas like cheeks and around the eyes. Don't overdo it - using too much can be worse than not using it at all.

Skin feels tight in the evening if I skimp on skincare, even in summer. No major blemishes unless my skin barrier is compromised. This toner has a slightly thicker consistency than pure hyaluronic acid toners, with a bit of viscosity. It doesn't drip everywhere, making it easy to apply. Still, it's a very lightweight toner that absorbs or evaporates within a minute of application. For the first two days, I felt a slight tingling sensation after applying, but it disappeared by the time I left the house. After that, I didn't notice it anymore. There's no noticeable scent. No real drawbacks either. It's a very hydrating toner that made a good first impression... It's like a 'plus' version of the typical watery or hyaluronic acid toners, with just the right balance of features. I wouldn't recommend using this as an exfoliating toner. It already contains exfoliating ingredients, so rubbing it with a cotton pad could irritate the skin. Even when absorbed into a cotton pad, it feels slick rather than watery like an essence. You're better off applying two layers instead. Come to think of it, I skipped my enzyme peeling this week while testing this, and my skin texture still looks great.
ConsYou need to be careful not to spill it when dispensing from the bottle onto your hand. This is a common issue with low-viscosity formulas... I didn't experience any blemishes, but I'm sure I would have if I'd used this as an exfoliating toner. It seems to have a subtle exfoliating effect.
TipIt pairs well with essences and emulsions of various textures.

It seems less watery than other products, with a gentle, subtle fragrance that's not overpowering. This is my first time trying it, but I have a feeling it's going to become a staple in my skincare routine.
ConsWhile there's nothing disappointing about the product itself, the packaging could use some improvement. Given that toners are typically quite fluid, it tends to keep dripping down the sides of the bottle, which is a bit frustrating.

It has a slightly smooth feel to it. When I first applied it, I noticed it went on incredibly gently, unlike other toners I've used before. This toner lives up to its name as an exfoliating toner. While I'm not sure about my forehead or cheeks, I did have some dead skin cells around my lips. After using this, those flakes noticeably diminished. It's truly gentle on the skin. I never once felt any tingling or irritation when applying it. I also found the simple design of the bottle quite attractive!
ConsOne slight drawback is that when you're about to use the toner, it tends to drip a bit from the opening down the side of the bottle.

I was extremely satisfied with this product! It's an essence toner, but not quite as heavy as a full essence - it's lighter than the Real Barrier essence toner. As you know, for acne-prone skin that easily gets clogged pores, the texture is crucial. Even a slightly thick cream can cause whiteheads or pimples the next day. Despite pulling all-nighters recently, which would normally trigger breakouts, I haven't had any since using this. Of course, this coincides with changing my cleansing routine and focusing on exfoliation for the past three weeks, with two weeks of using this toner. As someone who suffers from severely clogged pores due to dead skin buildup, this toner has been a game-changer. I'm on the verge of tears realizing I no longer get pustular or nodular acne without isotretinoin. While I still get some small bumps due to my skin type, this toner seems to prevent them from developing into painful, inflamed pimples. They just remain as small bumps. I was fortunate to be selected as a Hwahae Tester and discover this great product.
ConsAt first, the unfamiliar scent was a bit bothersome. Also, the toner residue on the cap tends to drip down to the bottle's neck, leaving marks. It might be good to consider changing the bottle design in the future.
TipPat it in for better absorption. Patting rather than rubbing for too long helps it absorb better and prevents pilling.
