I’ve try all the method above using Soonjung Ph 5.5 Relier Toner and my personal favorite way of using the toner is by using the 7 skin method. It helped me a lot in achieving “chock-chock” skin.
My thoughts
At first, I’m very skeptical with the toner’s ability to hydrate my skin without having to do layering method since the consistency of the toner is very watery and runny so i thought i have to layer a few times to get maximum hydration. But this toner prove me wrong! Sometimes i just need 2 layer of toner and it is enough to hydrate my normal-oily skin).
Despite the lightweight consistency of the toner, it is very hydrating. Sometimes 3 layers of it is enough to keep my skin hydrated all day long. Since I’m working in a hot environment, the toner helps me calm & soothes my skin with its cooling relief system. My skin immediately calms down and not irritated anymore.
I always looking forward to my toner-ing session with soonjung as the toner is really cooling and it feels like i splash water on top of my skin! The toner also absorbs really fast into the skin with no greasy or tacky feeling left behind.
I also notice the during my usage of this toner, my skin rarely acting up and minimal breakout detected thanks to it hypoallergenic system which proves not to worsen acne as my skin condition is very prone to acne.
I highly recommend this toner for people with oily skin condition. Since the lightweight formula makes it easily absorbs into the skin and it doesn’t feel heavy for oily skin. For dry skin, this soonjung toner is suitable for you too but you need to layer with extra hydrating products or moisturiser that have a heavy consistency to boost your hydration level.
