so i got this toner after talking to this korean tiktoker girl i follow — we ended up chatting in her live about breakouts and dry skin and whatever, and she said this is the one she always uses. didn’t sound super fancy but she had really good skin so i figured why not. ordered it from amazon, think it was like 13 or 14 bucks? it came pretty quick.

the bottle’s kinda basic, dark blue, feels like a lab product or something. no scent which i actually liked. the texture’s thicker than water, kinda jelly-ish but not sticky. i usually just pour a bit in my hand and slap it on my face lol. sinks in pretty fast. doesn’t burn or make me red so that’s already a win.

i’ve been using it for a couple weeks now, mostly at night. feels nice right after washing my face when it’s all dry and tight. i don’t think it’s like doing crazy things but it definitely makes my skin feel more chill and less flaky. it layers well too, like it doesn’t pill under moisturizer or whatever.

not sure if it’s “deep hydration” like the name says but it’s alright. definitely better than some of the watery ones i tried that just disappear and do nothing. doesn’t make me break out either, which happens a lot with new stuff.

only thing is i wish the bottle had a pump or something. i always end up pouring out too much. but whatever. it works. i prob won’t write home about it but also don’t regret buying it. if you want something simple and don’t need your toner to smell like a spa or sparkle or whatever, this one’s fine.

overall like... solid 7.5/10? maybe an 8 if i’m feeling generous. probably gonna use up the bottle but no idea if i’ll repurchase. depends if my skin gets bored lol.
