Application: The oil and moisture balance makes it glide on very smoothly, leaving a moisturized finish. Absorption: True to its 'serum toner' claim, it helped with deep dryness and kept the skin surface very hydrated. Scent: If you're a fan of the Dalba mist, this has the same fragrance. It's not overpowering, but might be hit or miss for some. Recommended skin types: Dry, combination dehydrated skin
ConsMy skin is closer to dry in winter and combination dehydrated otherwise. This toner absorbs quickly while leaving a rich finish. Interestingly, when I first tested it, changing only the toner, I got a few blemishes that disappeared after a few days. It might be too heavy for oily skin types in summer. Also, I'm not sure if it's just mine, but the cap leaked every time I used it, requiring constant cleaning. If they improve the cap, I'd consider repurchasing for seasonal changes or winter use.
TipWhen your skin feels particularly dry, you could soak cotton pads generously with the toner and use them as a quick mask.

As you can see in the photo, I have quite a lot of blemishes, but when I applied this, I didn't feel any irritation or notice an increase in breakouts. It provides noticeable hydration. Unlike other toners that can make your skin feel drier or even seem to strip moisture, this one gave sufficient hydration even with just one layer. It's also very user-friendly. Many toners either have to be completely opened or have a cumbersome open-close mechanism, but this one opens and closes with just one click, which is super convenient. The texture is neither too watery nor as thick as a serum, which made for an interesting application experience.
ConsMay feel slightly rich for some. The finish is more on the deeply moisturizing side rather than light and fresh, so those with oily skin might find it a bit too rich.
TipCompared to typical toners, this one has a bit more weight to it, which might make it especially nice for winter use. It also creates a sort of coating effect, making it great for layering before makeup application!

But surprisingly, the oil-moisture balance was just right! It seems to have the perfect amount of richness. I love how it feels like it's deeply nourishing my skin when I use a toner to gently exfoliate and then follow up with this skincare routine.
ConsAs the weather gets warmer, I'm starting to feel like the rich texture might be a bit too much...? For my oily skin type, it seems better suited for a nighttime skincare routine rather than applying it before makeup in this current weather.

Absorbs quickly with a great finish This aspect is truly delightful Especially after application, the skin feels velvety, reminiscent of a primer Perhaps that's why there was no pore-clogging or foundation separation, which was fantastic 2. Suitable for sensitive skin Despite containing VITA (which often causes a slight tingling or acidic sensation in other products - perhaps due to Vitamin C or just my imagination), this product doesn't sting at all. Even with my currently sensitive skin, it felt completely comfortable to use 3. Sleek cosmetic packaging Easy to store and use. Top-notch! 4. Despite having some viscosity, it doesn't feel sticky Particularly pleased that it doesn't cause any deep dryness!
ConsAs someone with a sensitive nose, I found the scent to be a significant drawback. It has a fragrance reminiscent of men's toner or cologne, which I didn't enjoy. Nevertheless, the numerous benefits outweigh this, hence the five-star rating! Also, while it quickly becomes powdery when applied, there's an initial sensation of oiliness (I'm not a fan of rich-feeling cosmetics)
TipUnless you have extremely dehydrated skin, this product seems to combine the best aspects of both serum and toner, making it suitable even as a first step. However, due to its slightly rich feel, those with oily skin might want to apply it sparingly. After application, it leaves the skin feeling powdery, as if a skin barrier has formed. If you're concerned about deep dryness, you could apply a light mist or toner beforehand - this might even eliminate the need for an emulsion!

Texture: A toner with a well-balanced mix of hydration and richness. While it has a fluid consistency, it's not suitable as an exfoliating toner but great for providing hydration. Application: As a nourishing toner, it applies smoothly and feels pleasant. Absorption: Not bad, but requires gentle patting for full absorption. It seems more suitable as a night care product rather than for quick application. In warm weather like now, this serum toner alone might be sufficient for overnight care. Scent: Reminds me slightly of the skincare products my mom used to use. I found it okay, but it might be hit or miss for some. Toning effect: Having only used it for two weeks, I haven't noticed significant toning effects yet. I think consistent use would be needed to see results!
ConsI had high hopes due to the good ingredients, but perhaps because it's so rich, I developed small bumps on my face. When I stopped using it, my skin improved. I'd find it hard to recommend this to those who, like me, tend to get small bumps from products that are too rich!

My skin stays moisturized even after cleansing. It's gentle enough for dry or combination dehydrated skin, allowing for multiple layers without irritation.
ConsIt's closer to a serum than a toner, and its rich finish might feel heavy on oily skin. The strong signature Dalba fragrance could be overwhelming for those sensitive to scents. Also, I experienced a few blemishes.
TipIf you're concerned about excess oil, I recommend applying just a small amount in a single layer, or using it with toner pads on specific areas.

While not as heavy as a concentrated ampoule, it definitely leaves a slight oily residue, though it doesn't cause tightness even after one use. -Scent: It has a strong fragrance very similar to this brand's mist. -Blemishes: No new blemishes appeared. Pre-existing acne didn't get inflamed, but progressed quickly for 1-2 days before subsiding. -Dermatitis: Unlike this brand's mist which stung a bit, this product didn't cause any redness or tingling sensation. Overall, it's a nutrient-rich toner, but short-term anti-aging and brightening effects were hard to notice. In my case, despite having combination dehydrated skin, it felt like it deeply hydrated my skin, so I stopped using ampoules after this toner in my skincare routine! It felt concentrated when applied, and I think it would be great for those with dry skin and those who aren't sensitive to fragrances.
ConsThere's a slight oily residue, so you should let it absorb fully in your skincare routine before moving on to the next step. I rarely wear makeup due to my skin issues, but I felt like this residue might cause makeup to pill.
