BANILA CO Dear Hydration Skin Softening Toner | Mild pH & Alcohol-Free | Dermatologist Tested | Balances, Hydrates, Gentle Exfoliation Moisturizing Toning Water with AHA (200ml / 6.76 fl oz)

I love this product! Although I’m not too crazy about the smell (smell can irritate my delicate skin), the application does not leave my skin feeling dry and does not cause any irritation. This formula feels very hydrating to my surprise. I would recommend using this product.

This toner is gentle and effective, with no harsh chemicals or strong smells. It's a great addition to my daily skincare routine

SUMMARY: The key ingredient for the benefits is just Glycerin.NOTE: Ingredients are NOT listed on the posting, nor on product main websiteKey to the product perhaps is that the ratio of water to glycerin has been properly proportioned.A bit sticky.Slightly scented.Glycerin is what will moisturize and exfoliate.Use will depend on your skin type and intended goal.Detail:For my sensitive facial skin I do not really need to exfoliate.Reading online it seems that Glycerin vs. HA vs. Vitamin C and other serums all have their own specific benefits. And I take care to not mix too many on my face to not get a reaction.Wow - the world of chemicals and cosmetics, makes me have wanted to pay more attention in chemistry class.This is a whole lot of science and information in all these products.Prior to writing my review and using the product I typically learn more about what it is to do and how it works.And of course, to do a test patch.My face is not the area currently suffering. Apparently, my legs are dry. It could be from lack of attention or wrong shaving creams or methods.Regardless, my application or test was to do one leg - thigh to ankle.and then have a comparison.IF I had done my face, it would have been challenging to just "moisturize" one side.Plus, for me, I do not have big pores, or acne, or oily skin.After the initial test of one leg, I immediately went to add to the other leg.For price and what it accomplishes, I believe this product is good.My review does not address if other products with this main ingredient are more affordable.

Move over you other toners! Banila is doing great things with this pink beauty. I love the pretty bottle and the stuff inside even more. I use it with a soft cotton pad, but may try just patting it on my face since many people do it this way. The toner has a light and nice scent that only smells really the first few seconds. It has this nice feeling as I move the cotton pad around my face - kind of glides around my face instead of sometimes getting "caught" on my skin the way other toners do with my cotton pads. It dries fairly quickly so I can continue on with my next step. My face has been feeling very smooth from using this. I highly suggest you add this one to your skincare routine. Mine keeps getting longer and longer!

This skin-softening toner from BANILA CO came in such a cute bottle with a pink theme to it. The main featured ingredients are pink in the name (pink cactus water, pink hydra biome). It's softly scented and smells somewhat fruity so please be aware that this k-beauty toner does contain added perfume to it. If you have skin that becomes angry from scents or smells, this may not be for you as it's pretty high up on the list of ingredients. :)That being said, the list of ingredients is great for gentle skin exfoliation when using with a cotton round to apply on the face. I recommend disposable cotton rounds because you can swipe the toner across the face from the inside of your face moving outwards. Doing so adds a manual exfoliation on top of the ingredient-based exfoliation for best results! I've been using this for a few days and my skin texture is improving while using it in my skincare routine. It's gentle enough for daily use and feels nice on my face with a fruity scent.I think if you like fruit scents and want something that has ingredient-based exfoliation for improving your skin texture, this toner is a great option. It's a generous size at 200ml and smells great!

This toner from Korea comes in a 6.7fl oz plastic bottle. I appreciate that it has no parabens, no sulfates, no alcohol, and no artificial coloring. The trademarked pink cactus water formula and the trademarked pink hydra biome, along with the other ingredients, is said to gently exfoliate as it cleans and increase moisture retention. I noticed a nice light scent as I put it on a cotton ball. It does clean well but leaves a sticky film on my face and hands. I have other toners that aren’t sticky or priced as high so gave it 3 stars.

Banila's Dear Hydration skin softening toner doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped. It also doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy - just nicely soft and hydrated, and ready for the next steps in my skincare routine. I have experienced zero redness or irritation or flaking. This toner is dispensed through a small hole in the top of the bottle, so you need to invert the bottle to allow the toner out. It doesn't just pour out, though. I dispense onto two very thin pieces of woven cotton gauze, as the fibers help to exfoliate the skin.

I'm not big into skin care, so I do not have a huge pool of knowledge to pull from. That said, I don't love the way my skin feels immediately after using this toner; it's slightly tacky, or sticky. After about an hour, my skin feels normal again, but directly after applying, it's slightly uncomfortable. I don't use the toner close to my eyes, as my skin can get itchy from sensitivity; it doesn't make my entire face itch, which is great!
