울트라 훼이셜 토너

The smell may be divisive.
It seems like it won't be easy to reach in the summer.

This toner is good for use on dry days.
It seems to be a non-watery formulation, which is good for calming down the skin.
It would be good to use when you want a nourishing feel.

I use the same line lotion along with it, and in addition to the toner cream, I occasionally use a cream. I use toner pads to smooth out my skin texture, and I also sometimes use the toner.

Shortcomings
❌ Insufficient strong moisturizing power - While there is a sense of moisture, the moisture does not last long, so it may be unsatisfactory for use alone on dry skin.
❌ Light exfoliating effect - It helps organize the skin, but if exfoliation is needed, an additional peeling product is required.

The Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner is a well-known product for its moisturizing properties and gentle ingredients. Its advantage is that it can be used by a variety of skin types, from sensitive to dry. As someone with sensitive skin, I used to have a lot of acne, but after switching my skincare routine, the acne has definitely decreased. My skin also looks better the next day when I wake up.

The formula & usage
It's a watery lotion-type toner, slightly thicker than a typical water-based toner. The scent is slightly cinnamon-like, but not overpowering.
When applied to the face, it absorbs moisturizing and leaves the skin soft and refined. There's no stickiness, and it has a refreshing finish, but it's not too lightweight and forms an adequate moisturizing layer.

Key effects
✔ Gentle hydration - It fills the skin with inner moisture rather than providing intense hydration, leaving the skin soft and refined. This seems to be the best for hydration.
✔ Skin soothing - It's not irritating, and helps balance the skin's oil and moisture levels after cleansing. As a sensitive skin user, I definitely feel my skin has improved.
✔ Smoothing - It doesn't completely exfoliate, but helps smooth out rough skin.

Recommended skin types
Dry & Combination skin → Helps reduce tightness after cleansing and forms a moisturizing layer, so recommended!
Sensitive skin → Non-irritating and alcohol-free, so it can be used comfortably.
Oily skin → The moisturizing formula may feel heavy for very oily skin types.

The fragrance components were not added, so the smell is not that great. However, it is better than the fermentation line smell.

After developing contact dermatitis, I have been using Kiehl's, which is known to be gentle.
There are no troubles, it is gentle, and the moisture content is just right. Since my skin is dry, I supplement it with essences and creams. As it is an extremely gentle brand, I unfailingly use it until the troubles subside. I am so satisfied that I plan to change my cleansing product soon as well.

After absorption, the heavy feeling makes it heavy to apply the skincare steps. And the scent was a bit disappointing. It would be better if it was unscented.

I was satisfied with the Kiehl's moisturizer, so I was looking forward to the toner as well, but personally, I was disappointed.
The texture is like a cream toner, but it's a bit thick and viscous. However, it applies well and feels moisturizing, but after application, there is a heavy, weighty feeling. So it was a bit burdensome to use it step-by-step.
I also have dry skin, and the heavy feeling may be suitable for very dry skin types...

Disadvantage: The product used in the first step has an unpleasant odor, making it undesirable to use.

Texture: Formulated like an essence with the inclusion of hyaluronic acid
Spreadability/Absorption/Usage: Absorbs well with repeated patting
Advantages: Seems suitable for use in the winter. Provides a reliable effect.

The name "Ultra" doesn't seem to fit. The dryness hasn't been reduced.

These days, it's been too dry, so I've been using it. The watery type seems to have a more moisturizing and soft feel compared to others.

Apply multiple layers when you want to relieve dry skin.

The scent is a bit disappointing. It's a fragrance I'm experiencing for the first time, so I'm not sure what it is.

I was using a water-based toner, but recently it became too cold, so I was looking for a toner with a bit more viscosity. I found one that's not too heavy or too light, and I've been using it. It's not a water-based toner, but when I apply it, it's moisturizing and absorbs quickly, so I can layer it without any stickiness.

The fragrance is really strange. It has a musty, stale smell, so I looked it up and realized it was past the expiration date. Ugh.

It feels smooth and moisturizing. The oil content is just right, which is nice.
