Pyunkang Yul Calming Deep Moisture Toner 31 ingredients
This toner is light and layers easily. I personally found it stung and irritated my sensitive skin, so I ended up passing it off to my husband. He has oily skin and said it's a nice toner but it doesn't feel like it does anything. I haven't had much luck with this brand and its products.
makes my skin glow, but i think it should really be used as a gentle exfoliating toner (1-3 times a week). had the mistake of using it every day and ruined my skin barrier, thought it was just moisturising.
