  Pros

  Great value: High concentration of galactomyces at a relatively affordable price, making it feel like an SK-II alternative Improved hydration and absorption: Skin feels moisturized from within after cleansing, and subsequent skincare products absorb well Enhanced complexion, texture, and glow: Many reviews mention improved skin clarity, brightening, and dead skin cell removal Gentle and suitable for sensitive skin: Mild formula without stickiness, perfect for summer and oily skin types Brightening and even skin tone: Niacinamide and licorice extract may help improve dark spots and redness

  Cons

  Slightly lacking in long-lasting moisture: May feel dry when used alone in winter or on dry skin types Potential for blemishes: Some users report that fermented ingredients can trigger breakouts Mixed opinions on texture: Very watery consistency may make some users feel less of an effect Fragile bottle: Glass container could break and may be inconvenient for travel

  Pros

  As someone who always uses an exfoliating toner for dead skin cell management, I find this product great for everyday use. It's affordable, so I can generously soak a cotton pad without worry. Being colorless and odorless, it's comfortable to use without any concerns.

  Cons

  There's nothing particularly negative to mention. However, I tend to stock up on multiple bottles at once, and when I do that, I often receive unwanted gratis cosmetics. This can sometimes be troublesome to deal with.

  Pros

  I've started using this again after a while, and I'm loving it! It's been 2 weeks since I picked it up again after finishing my other products. I even use it with cotton pads by pouring it into an empty bottle (inspired by Director Pi's video). It's amazing for dead skin cell removal, evening out skin tone, and improving skin texture. It's still my holy grail product! The scent is barely noticeable, it's not sticky, and it's not drying either - just perfect! The large volume and frequent sales make it even better. I really hope they don't change the formula during any 'renewals'. (I used to love Mi*- The First***, but after they kept changing the formula, it became sticky and didn't suit me anymore.) I plan to keep using COSRX in the future!

  Cons

  There's nothing I dislike about it. I just hope they don't change the ingredients. And please, please don't discontinue it!

  Pros

  I used the First Treatment Essence instead of my regular toner. While toners typically promote exfoliation and removal of dead skin cells, this essence is great for supporting and regulating the skin barrier.

  Cons

  Don't expect it to clean out your pores. Instead, think of it as a soothing treatment for irritated skin.

  Pros

  As someone with super sensitive skin, I usually find AHA, BHA, and even PHA cleansing gels irritating. However, this product is a game-changer! Once a week, I generously soak a cotton pad with it, leave it on for about 10 minutes, and voila - it gently exfoliates dead skin cells without any irritation!

  Cons

  There's nothing bad to say! The packaging is lovely, the price is great, and it doesn't feel sticky at all.

  Pros

  Affordable price even for frequent use. Non-irritating feel. Doesn't cause blemishes even on acne-prone skin. I've been using this toner for about 5 years and still haven't felt the need to switch to something else. It even helps with removing dead skin cells to some extent.

  Cons

  There's nothing bad to say, but they're asking for 20 characters... The hydration might be a bit lacking, but that's unavoidable given its watery consistency...

  Pros

  It really does even out your complexion and build a solid foundation for your skin. Great for sloughing off dead skin cells and balancing your skin tone. The generous amount means you can use it liberally without worrying about running out anytime soon.

  Cons

  While it may not produce miraculous results, consistent use definitely makes a difference. Your skin feels more organized and refined compared to when you don't use it.

  Tip

  Try applying it both morning and night, then decide if you prefer using it only in the morning, only at night, or keeping up with both. Adjust your routine based on how your skin responds.

  Pros

  I was searching for a product that could exfoliate without irritation and help with skin maintenance. When I found this, I thought 'This is it!' and purchased it. I've been using it, and it definitely does a great job of cleaning up my skin. It's so nice when I apply the next step in my skincare routine. I think this will become a staple in my regimen.

  Cons

  I'm extremely satisfied with this product and have been using it well. I'll continue to use it consistently in the future.
