My skin is wayyy less red even i have pimple the toner is one the main thing in my routine that’ll really help with the redness, but i also feel like my skin is really hydrated and less dry with it Show more
AMAZING. This was the first toner I have purchased in Korea and I haven't switched it out ever since.
It's a watery toner and this is so good for people who have irritated skin or acne prone skin. Whenever I have breakouts or when my skin feels itchy, I drench my skin with this or make mini diy sheetmasks and it just makes my skin way better.
If you want a more viscous toner, this isn't Show more
