Etude Soonjung Mild Acidic Toner Review

I tend to prefer light, watery toners for my basic skincare routine, but I decided to try the Etude Soonjung product after hearing from others that it was good. I feel that applying a light toner helps other products absorb better, so I usually avoid sticky toners because they feel burdensome to my skin.
Since Etude is so much more famous for its makeup than its skincare, I wondered if their toner would be any good, so I looked up a lot of reviews. They seemed decent, so I decided to give it a try. Many reviews mentioned that it is non-irritating even for sensitive skin, and it certainly fits the description of a toner with excellent hydration. It contains Panthenol, which strengthens the skin barrier and retains moisture, and Madecassoside, which soothes the skin, so I expected it to be very hydrating. I also liked that it is free of 10 harmful ingredients. After using it myself, I found the hydration to be good, and above all, it felt soothing, making it great to use on days when my skin condition isn't great. I tend to get breakouts easily when I don't get enough sleep or am not feeling well; on those occasions, rich skincare products can feel heavy, so I found that simply applying this toner several times and letting it absorb helped calm my skin. I also like that it is vegan-certified, and although it wasn't available initially, a refill product has been added, so it is great to buy the large size and use it generously. It is also a good product for using as a face mask toner.
