Whenever I switch to other products, I always regret it and come back to this one. It effectively removes any residue or dead skin cells that weren't cleaned off during face washing. As someone with oily skin, I feel it provides quite good hydration after use. Despite containing alcohol, it doesn't dry out or cause deep dryness, which I really appreciate.
ConsI couldn't really feel the astringent effect or any pore-tightening benefits. The most critical drawback is that it's discontinued domestically, so you have to buy it from overseas, which is a real pain.

But I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually quite moisturizing and satisfactory.
ConsI purposely bought the unscented one, but it had a bit of an odor, so I was like, 'What is this?' but it's tolerable enough, haha.
TipIt absorbs well even when I have to layer it on multiple times due to dryness.

So I purposely chose one with the simplest and best alcohol ingredients, and it turned out to be much better than expected! Other alcohol-containing toners made my skin feel dry right after use, so I had to apply a moisturizer immediately. But this one actually made my skin more hydrated than before using it. Personally, there were times when I couldn't wash my face for a week;ㅋㅋ My skin didn't develop any inflammation, but the sebum and dead skin cells were at their peak ㅜㅜ On the 7th day, I soaked a cotton pad with this toner and gently wiped my face several times with minimal effort...! My skin went back to how it was a week ago ㅋㅋㅋ No, it even looked better ㅋㅋㅋ It was the height of summer when I used this, and my skin was so hydrated after using it that I didn't need any additional moisturizer. I highly recommend this alcohol toner to those looking for a toner that stays true to its core function!
ConsI was worried it might have a strong soju-like smell, but the strange scent, which I think is from the witch hazel extract, is more prominent than the alcohol smell ㅋㅋ Well, it goes away soon after wiping, so it's not a big deal, but those sensitive to fragrances might be better off with a version with added scents... Also, it seems to be quite hard to find offline. That could be a bit inconvenient.
TipIf used frequently, the alcohol content and cotton pad irritation will likely increase sebum production. So using it about once a day as a morning cleansing substitute seems just right! (Since I do a double cleanse in the evening, I can skip the toner then)

It provided a refreshing moisture boost and had a calming effect on my skin. While it's a bit lightweight, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, it's an all-around great product that I'll definitely repurchase. By using it in combination with another cream that provides sufficient oil, I can maintain a good balance without dryness. For reference, I have an oily T-zone and a normal-to-dry cheek area, resulting in a sensitive, combination skin type. I was concerned about potential irritation from any alcohol scent, but I didn't experience any issues with breakouts.
ConsThe product provided a refreshing, mattifying effect, but I felt like it also drew away some of the moisture. It seems like I'll need to apply a sufficient amount of a richer cream on top to prevent dryness.
