Well, well... if it isn't another toner. I am sorry but I am obsessed with toner and I really go out of my way to try new ones (except this one, this toner is not new at all!). Soon Jung toner has been the holy grail for dehydrated skin for so many years and correct me if I'm wrong but it was there since 2017!
|| ABOUT THE BRAND
I think Etude House is a brand that needs no introduction. They were founded on December 1985 and has been going on strong ever since. This is one of the first korean skincare brands that I know, mainly because their commercials are too cute! I remember Girls' Generation being their ambassador, but my favorite commercial was still the one with Sandara Park and all Shinee members. Ah, how I miss the old times!
I think it's very hard to miss this brand especially if you go to Korea as I personally think that their shops are the easiest to recognize especially with the pink decorations outside the shop and all. Oh yeah, since this product has been on the market for so long, they also come out with new packaging recently. The one I am using is still the old packaging, and the new packaging is simpler and they even sell the refill version of this toner. I mean, I love that!

|| TEXTURE & HOW TO USE
This toner is a very watery toner and for these kinds of toner, I always love to use them with spray bottle. You can use your hand to apply it but since it's watery, its gonna literally goes to your elbow more than your face hahah. It is also colorless and have no scent so it's almost like water.
You can use it in various way:
1. As toner - Pour an adequate amount on your hand and pat on your skin
2. As toner or face mist - put in spray bottle and just spray it all over your face anytime it feels dehydrated
3. As sheet mask - soak cotton pad with the toner and place it on your skin for 10-15 minutes.
