The good

Effective Oil and Sebum Control

Reviewers consistently highlight this toner's ability to reduce excess oil and control sebum production, particularly in the T-zone.

"If you’re super duper mega oily and live in hot, humid weather, then this toner is definitely for you. It’s incredibly effective in terms of oil control. I have combination skin, and this toner really helps manage the oiliness in my T-zone, kimistaken, oily skin, SkinSort."

Lightweight and Fast Absorbing

The toner has a very thin, water-like consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky residue, making it comfortable for layering.

"Upon first application, the texture is wonderfully lightweight, almost like water, but with a subtle slip that feels instantly refreshing. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no sticky residue, which is a huge plus for me, RoyalTia, Lemon8."

Soothing and Calming for Skin

Many users report that the toner helps to relieve irritation and leaves their skin feeling hydrated and calm, thanks to ingredients like green tea and Centella asiatica.

"My skin felt so hydrated and not as irritated when I woke up or throughout the day, lonelydeath, combination skin, SkinSort."

Subtle, Natural Scent

The toner is noted for having a very mild, natural green tea aroma that does not contain artificial fragrance, making it suitable for those sensitive to strong scents.

"It doesn’t have any artificial fragrance but it does have a very subtle natural tea leaf scent which is barely noticeable, Simply Saima, blog."

Good Value and Longevity

Reviewers appreciate the product's affordability and the fact that a single bottle lasts a long time, even with daily use.

"This is the first product I have ever owned where I was able to finish the entire bottle before it expired. I wore it every night and noticed how the oily parts of my skin were under control, lonelydeath, combination skin, SkinSort."

The trade-offs

Potentially Drying for Some

While effective for oil control, some reviewers with sensitive or drier skin types found it could be slightly drying, especially if their skin barrier was already compromised.

"For those trying to repair their damaged skin barrier while very, very oily, I'd recommend this a try :) It's kind of a hit-or-miss with over-drying, Nora, oily skin, SkinSort."

Scent Strength Perception Varies

Although generally described as mild, a few users indicated that the natural tea scent was noticeable or even strong.

"It’s literally like water, but with a brewed tea smell, it’s amazing, Alfie, dry skin, SkinSort, #strong scent."
