Good for sensitive skin/rosacea

I have dry skin and also have type 2 rosacea. One of the few toners that doesn’t irritate my skin. Will continue to purchase as there isn’t much reliable sellers for this brand!

Reduced redness quickly

This was the first time I’ve incorporated a toner into my routine and I noticed changes so early on! It reduced my redness quickly and left my skin feeling balanced and clean. I also love that there’s a travel size bottle ✈️

The best toner

I have never been able to use toner because it always burned. This is the first and only toner that actually restores moisture in my skin and does not burn. Love it and it’s so coat effective.

This is the most moisturizing essence/toner I’ve ever used! I have to most temperamental and sensitive skin, and this literally calms my skin and leaves it calmed and soothed.

Good toner

It's very soothing and moisturizing, and layers well. I haven't been reaching for it as much as my other toners/essences, though. It's great for winter but may be a tad heavy for warmer months. Still unsure if I'll repurchase.

The best!

I’m normally really hesitant about toners because they are all really harsh and drying on my skin. This stuff is the exact opposite of that! It makes my skin feel like I’ve removed all impurities, leaves it smooth, soothes my bright red rosacea cheeks. I won’t use another toner again!

My holy grail

For my sensitive, eczema and acne prone skin, this has become my go to for hydration and first step after cleansing and first step in the AM before any serums or moisture (I don't do a AM cleanse). The blue label products from Pyunkang Yul are affordable, go a long way, and make my skin noticeably more hydrated and calm. Generally my skin is irritated by just about everything and after using this for over two years I can say without a doubt one of the most worthwhile additions to your routine.

My favorite toner

It's not quite as thin as water. It has a bit more viscosity, which I love. It feels so light and hydrating. I usually only do 3 applications/skins and it works beautifully. I'm a fan for life.

Refill purchase - amazing toner

I don’t know exactly what’s in this toner, but this is my second bottle and I love it so much. I don’t use a ton of products, but since I started using this toner I feel like my pores are less noticeable and my skin is overall more calm. I love this toner so much I hope they never stop making it! For reference - I’m 38, sensitive dry fair skin.

Absorbs quickly! Refreshing and lightweight. Nice consistency. The ingredients list checks out as well, no irritants. One of my favorite products.
