These days, I'm using a cleansing toner due to the dry weather, and before pouring the toner onto the sink, I'm using this toner as a disinfectant for the sink. However, since it can be used for other purposes like a 'honey tip', and I can use an appropriate amount without causing any trouble, I gave it about 3 stars.
Cons1. Drying - The skin feels extremely dry after using it, probably due to the alcohol content. If you think of it as a water-based toner and layer it on your skin, you may experience your face feeling tighter and tighter. - In that aspect, it doesn't seem to function well as a toner. 2. The smell... is unpleasant. - I thought I could tolerate the scent of toners that might have a polarizing smell, but this one is really unbearable. It's not like the smell of regular soju (Korean vodka), but more like a harmful factory chemical (?) or ethanol (?) smell.
TipSince it's an alcohol toner, it can also be used as a disinfectant! - Serious toners are often used by people with skin troubles, right? It's good for disinfecting the skin before and after extracting blemishes, and for disinfecting extraction tools.

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)

At first, the alcohol was as strong as soju, so my face turned red when I applied it. I was hesitant at first, thinking 'Won't my skin get completely messed up if I use this, just like when I use products with alcohol?' But when the person who recommended this product for my folliculitis suggested it, I decided to try it. I think this would be great for people with acne-prone skin. This is a toner that exfoliates, so if you use it as the first step after cleansing and then apply a lotion, your face will be glowing. The next morning when you wash your face, your skin will feel super smooth. However, I noticed my face getting a bit red from using it too often, so now I only use it once a day or every other day in the evenings. Using this product, sunscreen is a must.
ConsThe smell is like rotten glue or melted plastic. It's nauseating, but the effects are good, so I still use it. I don't usually mind cosmetic scents, but this one... If you're sensitive to smells, don't use this - it's sickening.
TipAfter cleansing, apply this product to a cotton pad and gently wipe it over your face. Then apply toner and moisturizer for a glowing complexion!

However, this toner is as light as water, so when I wipe it off with a cotton pad, my skin feels refreshed and clean. It removes any leftover makeup or dust without causing any dryness or flakiness. Since it's completely oil-free, it's also great for applying my next moisturizer. I've been using one bottle for about 6 months, and I've already ordered two more.
ConsThe original version has a really unique scent that took me about a week to get used to. It's a smell I've never encountered before, and I couldn't even describe it. But now that I'm accustomed to it, I'm using it without any issues. One time, I put the chilled toner from the fridge on a cotton pad and applied it to my face, and it stung and turned my skin red. So I haven't done that since. But when I use it normally, like a regular toner, I haven't experienced any breakouts.
Tip☀️ In the summer, keep it in the fridge for a refreshing, cooling application! Also, you can use the same cotton pad to wipe down your neck, which helps save product and also benefits the neck area.

It doesn't have a strong fragrance, and it's not overly irritating. It helps to refine the skin texture, making it ideal for use as a toner. If you use a social marketplace, you can look out for various events. The 355ml size is reassuring for everyday use.
ConsThere are no major downsides. It's almost fragrance-free, but there is a slight plant-based scent.
TipIt's best to use it by gently patting with a non-dusty cotton pad.
