I thought the ingredients were good, but I'm a bit disappointed to find out there are two potentially problematic components.

It's so moisturizing and smells absolutely divine! I have super sensitive skin, but I've been using this without any issues so far.

젠틀 리프레싱 토너

I didn't see much positive effect on my skin. Those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid using this

It has a refreshing feel and the scent is not bad either

The downside is that while it's considered a very affordable product abroad, it feels quite expensive here in our country.

The texture is incredibly lightweight. My skin is super sensitive, but I loved that this caused absolutely no irritation.

I loved everything about it - the texture, the scent - and was going to buy it again, but the ingredients list is quite disappointing.

I was planning to repurchase because the texture is so nice. As someone with oily but dehydrated skin, I found it pleasantly hydrating.

Don't use cotton pads. It's much better to put it in a spray bottle and mist it on your face, then gently pat it in to absorb. Using it this way, you'll understand what it means for skin to be moisturized deep down. Since the formula is so watery, many people might use cotton pads, but this product is best applied by thoroughly wetting the entire face to experience its true effects. I used cotton pads for the first month, but switched to patting from the second month onwards... I regretted wasting so much toner on cotton pads. Even when applied with cotton pads, it was incomparably more hydrating than other toners. But after discovering the patting method, it was a whole new world... Even though it was incredibly moisturizing with cotton pads, patting took it to another level.

The lid!!!!!!!!!! Ugh... I almost didn't repurchase because of it. Don't close the lid and lay it down or shake it. The formula is so watery it just leaks everywhere... You always have to keep it standing upright. If it falls over even for a moment, it leaks... At first, not knowing this, I bought it offline and happily shook it around, ending up with a bag soaked in toner. I was so annoyed. It didn't even have a basic seal on the opening. So I quickly bought an empty bottle from Daiso and transferred it. Also, because it's so watery, it's hard to control when applying... If you're distracted and tilt it, it just pours out... It runs through your fingers like a faucet... drip, drip... Haha... It wastes product in various ways. These are the two biggest downsides. Also, occasionally during the peak of winter or on windy days when your skin is suffering, it can sometimes feel a bit tingly when applied. I just lightly scratched, applied a soothing gel, and calmed my skin. It wasn't bothersome enough to worry about, but those with super sensitive skin might find it potentially irritating.

I answered 'yes' to repurchasing for the upcoming winter. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that gets dry in winter and oily in summer, using this in winter with just some exfoliation got me compliments on my skin. The scent is incredibly mild and the kind of fresh fragrance I really love. It's genuinely, truly moisturizing. You can feel it from the first application. I've never felt this level of hydration from any toner I've used before, and it doesn't dry out after applying... just pure moisture. It feels like it's hydrating deep into the skin, even without applying cream, though I do layer cream on top for longevity. The price-to-volume ratio is decent, the scent is nice, and it really makes your skin feel plump. I absolutely recommend it. Now that the cold winds are coming, I need to stock up again.

It has a slightly burning sensation, so it might not be the best for sensitive skin days.

I liked that it's lightweight and relatively hydrating. Of course, the affordable price was also a plus.

At first, I liked it. But when I opened a new bottle after finishing the first one, I started noticing something like blemishes appearing. I considered switching toners, but now it seems fine again, so I'm continuing to use it!

Being from the Himalayas, I feel like the ingredients must be gentle. I stocked up during a sale and have been using it regularly.

Cotton pads are a must when using this product.

The cap could use some improvement. It would be great if they upgraded to a pump or twist-off cap.

A toner that sticks to the basics. Basic price, basic effects, basic scent. A comfortable and reliable toner that gets the job done.

It feels just like water? I guess that means the ingredients must be good?

Love it! Almost no harmful ingredients and the price is reasonable.

The downside is that it occasionally causes a tingling sensation, but overall I'm quite satisfied with it.

The hydration lasts for a long time, but you need to apply it generously - almost like you're wallpapering your face! Seems to work well for blemishes.

Since it's affordable, you can apply it generously.

It doesn't have any standout features. Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in hydration.

A reliable toner with price being its biggest advantage. I've been using it for years without any skin reactions, which is great since my skin tends to flare up with the wrong skincare products.

I pour it into a spray bottle and spritz it all over my body after showering, especially on my dry back, right after applying body oil. Using body oil alone doesn't provide enough hydration, but this combo is perfect. It's also great for soothing sun-exposed skin - just soak a cotton pad generously and place it on your skin for a refreshing, cooling effect.

It's basically just water... scented water, perhaps? Let's stick to using it as a cleansing toner, solely for removing any residue after washing your face.

Absolutely top-notch as a cleansing toner. Never caused any breakouts, and it's wonderfully hydrating. When your skin feels parched, just wipe it on and pat it in - it's like you've just washed your face, leaving it delightfully moist!
