Pros
If you want to feel the cooling effect while using the product If you don't have severe acne or blemishes (This toner may cause redness and irritation on troubled skin! It's not because the ingredients are bad, but rather the alcohol in the product can feel irritating on wounds! However, the soothing effect is amazing) I recommend this to you. I don't usually get big pimples, but I have a lot of heat on my face, large pores, and combination skin with blackheads and oily nose. I used this product about once a month for around 5 years. ㅠ.ㅠ Now it's difficult to purchase through overseas direct buying, so I'm leaving this review with a heavy heart...
Cons
If you dislike products that feel irritating, or don't like the alcohol smell/stinging sensation, or don't want something that stings your eyes, I don't recommend this!

Pros
This is a toner that I've been using consistently since I was in the military! First of all, it overwhelms with its quantity, and although it was originally intended for spot treatment, given the military's characteristic of not allowing personal items to be used freely, and since my entire face was in a state of acne alert, it was fine for me to apply it all over. It gives a feeling of removing excess oil, and I think it's a product with a generally good balance, without any tightness and also good for soothing. I would often reapply it and rinse my face with water when I was sweating during the day, and it worked very well for me. It doesn't have any particularly outstanding features, but it's not lacking either, and it's a product that I'm generally satisfied with, without causing any problems.
Cons
The first thing you notice when you open the lid is the scent! I got used to it and didn't mind it, but it's strong enough that people around me can smell it right after application. They say it smells like alcohol swabs. When you apply it, it has a stinging, tingling sensation that's addictive, but I don't think it's a good thing for the skin. Sensitive people might consider this the biggest downside.

Pros
I was under a lot of stress due to my acne, but after reading positive reviews about this product on Hwahae, I decided to purchase it! Definitely, my blemishes have calmed down and the bumps have disappeared, so I'm seeing great results! I got a discount on Hwahae, so I'm satisfied with the price and the amount.
Cons
The smell is quite alcoholic, so it's not very pleasant when applying it. And when I put it on my face, there's a stinging sensation that comes up and it hurts a little bit ㅜㅜ The effects are good, but these aspects make me hesitant to use it.
Tip
It's best to apply it concentrated on the areas that need care by soaking it in cotton pads!

Pros
1. Applying it briefly to the troubled area shows quick effects 2. Seems to have a cooling effect
Cons
1. Quite irritating 2. Leaves a drying sensation after application 3. Overpowering alcohol smell 4. Minimal effect on closed comedones
Tip
This product seems suitable for those with inflammatory or pustular breakouts, rather than those with just closed comedones. It may be too harsh to apply all over the face.

Gently rubbing the areas where acne is starting to appear with a cotton pad will make it subside right away the next day!! This is a magical toner.

Pros
My husband has seborrheic/inflammatory acne-prone skin. He says that using it as a disinfectant stings a bit at first, but then it calms down and feels good.
Cons
My husband says it's good, but I'm worried that it might disrupt the moisture balance. I also tried applying it to my extracted areas as a disinfectant, and the smell was really like a disinfectant. I dabbed a little around my eyes with a cotton swab, and my eyes started tearing up.
Tip
Dabbing the extracted areas with a cotton swab can help calm down the irritated extracted areas a bit. I only use it in specific areas, not all over, and use a different toner, but I think it's good as a spot disinfectant.

Pros
This is really the best!! The capacity is large, so it seems like it will last a long time But I still wish I had bought one more, I feel a bit regretful (But that's right, it's wise to just buy one safely, since cosmetics come in so many varieties and there are so many options to choose from) It really calms down quickly Before using this, all kinds of pimples, acne, and eczema kept popping up on my face Even though I haven't used it for a long time, it's not completely cleared up, but the redness has disappeared and Lately, whenever something feels like it's about to pop up on my skin or has already come up, making it itchy and making me keep touching my face without realizing it, that feeling has gone away - it's really amazing. Yesterday I went to bed at 4pm and thought my skin was ruined today, but after putting on makeup and going out, my skin has completely calmed down with this.
Cons
The alcohol smell was as strong as I had heard, and it stung when I applied it to my skin. But I actually liked that - the medicinal smell made me feel like it was really disinfecting and treating my skin, and the stinging sensation went away quickly, leaving me with a refreshing, clean feeling. Especially lately, my skin has been in chaos, with oozing and an unpleasant sticky feeling, but the sensation of it all just blowing away and my skin feeling soft and fluffy was really relieving. Many have said that dry, sensitive skin shouldn't use this, but even though my skin is dry and sensitive, the ingredients seem to work well for me.
Tip
Some have said that using this makes your skin dry, so it's good to layer other moisturizing products on top. I've tried that as well, since my skin is dry, but in my case, using this alone was actually more effective and long-lasting, and my skin felt so light and comfortable. If you're going to put on makeup right after using this, you'd need to add an oily product on top. But just for calming the skin at home, I think using this alone is the best. Though that may be because I have such a sensitive skin type and react sensitively to mixing products.

Pros
I've been using the Sioris Witch Hazel Lavender Toner for about 5 years now~ I thought medicated toners would be irritating and strong since they're for targeted areas, but this one is so gentle and works great for my whole face. Even though it contains alcohol, it doesn't dry out my skin at all. It's really quite amazing..that's why I'm using it all over my face. Most importantly, it's excellent at soothing blemishes and tightening pores. The Sioris Toner is a holy grail product for me. I strongly recommend it to those with oily and combination skin types. For dry skin types, I highly suggest the alcohol-free toners~ It's really not drying at all and works wonderfully.
Cons
The only downside is that I wish the packaging could be improved a bit. The scent is a bit like disinfectant..
Tip
Soak a cotton pad with the toner and apply it to your pores. Apply it to blemish-prone areas and leave it on overnight. The next day, your blemishes will be gone. It also quickly calms down redness and itchiness.

Pros
My hands were rough, but when I wiped them with a damp cotton pad, the tightness was greatly reduced.
Cons
At first, I was worried it wouldn't suit me because of the stinging sensation along with the alcohol scent, but as I used it, I became satisfied with the refreshing feeling rather than the stinging sensation.

Pros
I never envied anyone for having perfect skin, but then I started getting hormonal (cystic) acne during pregnancy. Even after giving birth, the acne didn't go away. I went to the hospital, had extractions done, and received skincare treatments, but the acne would only improve temporarily. I also developed closed comedones, and the stress was overwhelming. For 5 years, I tried all the acne-fighting cosmetics recommended by the hospital, but nothing seemed to help. Then I started working at a dermatology clinic, and the staff there would extract and exfoliate my skin. But this time, the acne started getting inflamed, swollen, and scarring. I eventually had to start taking antibiotics, which helped with the cystic acne, but the closed comedones persisted. Since I couldn't use oil control products along with the antibiotics, I was worried about premature aging at my age. The priority was to treat the cystic acne, so I took antibiotics for about 2 weeks and used the hospital's skincare lotion, but the alcohol content was very drying. My sister recommended trying Centella products from Dongkook Pharmaceutical, and I opted for the lighter Centella Moisturizer instead of the cream, as the cream felt too heavy and clogging. I cleansed with Avène, sprayed Some by Mi Rose Petal Toner, and then applied the Centella Moisturizer. I also soaked a cotton pad with the Some by Mi Cica Care and placed it on the acne spots for 5-10 minutes. The inflamed acne started to calm down, and for the scarring, I dotted on the Centella cream, which helped my skin return to its previous state.
Cons
The closed comedones don't necessarily keep coming up, but when they do, immediately placing the soaked cotton pad on them helps them subside. The downside is that if you use it too close to the eyes, it can sting a bit. Those who dislike the 'hot' sensation might want to avoid it. The scent is also similar to disinfectant, so it may not be suitable for those sensitive to smells. But for the sake of my skin, I've been using it and have seen noticeable improvements the next day.
Tip
The skincare lotion with alcohol can be drying, but this one with aloe vera feels more like a mask when applied, helping to calm the acne and leaving no tightness afterwards. After the mask-like application, I found the Centella cream to be too heavy when applied all over, so I just dotted it on the scarred areas, and the scarring has almost disappeared. And for those with cystic acne, I recommend going to the dermatologist to get a prescription for acne antibiotics. I know the medication isn't ideal, but skincare alone may have its limitations. As for oil control products, I haven't tried them myself, but they could be a good option for those whose acne is still active but not yet at the cystic stage.
