COSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C (ABC) Daily Toner 16 ingredients
Gentle but seems to be working. I’ve been using it for around 2 weeks and it seems to be good at drying out and minimising ccs. Super lightweight and absorbs fast. No irritation when applying more than 1 layer.
It’s my every other day toner. Fungal acne safe and visibly reduces the look of large pores just after a few uses. Would probably purchase again

Hydrating but the fragrance broke me out after a long while, so not recommended for people with sensitive skin (rosacea).
Edit: I have since swapped to SKIN1004's 1025 Dokdo Toner.
I think it does well for hydration but sometimes the smell is a lil weird. It doesn't always smell like it, maybe I'm doing something, but it's such a weird smell and it's the only part of my routine that smells that way (when I do get a whiff of it).
