🔘 Review:
Aside from it's pore and blemish control, the AHA's are efficient at lightening my face and gently exfoliate my skin. I've been using this everyday for about 4-5 weeks (and I had to use it consistently twice daily for 2 weeks before I saw any improvement at all) and my skin has gradually got more smooth and even over the course of that time, especially my cheeks. It's a bit of a two-fold skin perfector; The AHAs exfoliate and brighten, whilst the BHA's keep blemishes under control and pores tight. I've of course been using other products, but I really do feel this toner has aided the efficacy of those products; I didn't have the same results without it. The simple packaging includes a spray top that disperses a super fine mist, definitely saving the bottle for something else once it's used up! I like to spray onto a cotton pad and sweep over my skin, then repeat on trouble areas with a second pad. It's important to wait until the toner has fully absorbed before going in with essences/serums/ampoules as not giving it enough time can affect how they are absorbed. Although they're a similar idea, I've got to say I prefer this to my other toner (as that sometimes gives me tiny reddish bumps on my cheeks), which if you also like, I must suggest you try out the COSRX.

If you have sensitive skin though, buy a sample first before getting the full size. Your skin might not be able to handle such a strong product right away.

🔘 Review:
The first thing you will notice about this product once it hits your skin is its water-like texture.  While there are no added fragrances there is a slight, but oh so faint, chemical-like smell, thankfully it fades after about two seconds. What I love most is that the texture of the product is nothing like I expected, it isn't greasy or slimy and is only slightly thicker than water. After double-cleansing, and toning, I apply two pumps of the liquid to my fingertips and gently pat it all over my face, avoiding the eye area and including the neck, letting the product naturally absorb into the skin. I skip using cotton pads since I end up wasting product that way. I have read several reviews that mention people's hands or fingers starting to peel from directly applying the product. I haven't experienced this but if you do, then I recommend applying it with a cotton pad. I also want to note that various sources will recommend you forgo toning and apply this product to your skin directly after cleansing. I've tried both ways and haven't a noticed a difference in the effects of the product. But since I really like the feeling of a squeaky clean and hydrated face, I've stuck with toning before applying the Blackhead Power Liquid. The product absorbs super quickly into the skin. After waiting about 15-20 minutes, I then move on to the next steps in my routine. The reason you want to wait before using the rest of your skincare products is that the time allows the product to work its magic and fully penetrate the skin. That way you get its full benefits. It's recommended you wait about 30 minutes before applying the rest of your products, however I typically don't have that much time before I have to rush out the door or pass out for bed. If you're going to add one product to your routine, I'd make it this one. Whether you're suffering from acne, blackheads or enlarged pores, this a game changer product that will definitely help.

🔘 How to Use:
After cleansing and toning, dispense 1 to 2 pumps onto fingertips and apply it to the areas of the face where blackheads occur.

I initially had my doubts. Due to its thicker consistency, the toner felt a little tacky when I first applied it, not a promising start.

📝 Toners have a long and storied history with those of the more &quot;disco&quot; persuasion remembering as teens, slathering toner soaked cotton pads all over our zit flecked faces. Even the memories of that experience would still cause some to flinch as the toner stung with its dehydrating destruction of greasiness. 

🔘 Ingredients:
Sodium Hyaluronate, Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Betula Alba Juice, Beta-Glucan, Soluble Collagen, Althaea Rosea Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Panthenol, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract.

🔘 Review:
Unlike the watery consistency of most toners, the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner has a slightly viscous consistency. It comes in a rather simple 200ml clear plastic bottle and it was pretty easy to dispense. This alcohol-free, water-based toner is chock full of skin goodness but the star of this toner is a Hyaluronic Aqueous Solution (50%) consisting of Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Hydrolysed Hyaluronate. The smaller molecules penetrate deeper moisturising from the inside out while the larger ones form a protective layer of moisture on your skin locking in all that skin goodness. I initially had my doubts. Due to its thicker consistency, the toner felt a little tacky when I first applied it, not a promising start but my doubts quickly turned into amazement at how quickly the toner was absorbed into the skin. It left our skin feeling refreshed and there wasn’t any hint of stickiness. In fact, I reapplied it 3 times and each time my skin just lapped it up. It is no wonder that this toner was crowned the No. 1 Toner at the Hwahae Beauty Awards, the largest cosmetics awards in Korea. This toner has also won the Olive Young Best Toner 2019 among many other accolades. I experimented by layering these two toners (after my double cleanse) exclusively for 2 weeks in a 4 step daily skincare routine and was very satisfied with the results. The rich formulation of the Hyaluronic Acid Toner, in particular, kept my skin feeling plump and moist throughout the day. For drier skin types or an extra moisture boost, you can also add the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence, which has 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid, to your skin routine.

The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner was first launched in May 2012 but has recently been relaunched in 2019 with a new and improved formulation. The original toner had only a single type Hyaluronic Acid while the 2019 version is now formulated with 3 types.

I have no bad reviews regarding this product.

🔘 Review:
We know that the key ingredient here is Snail Mucin which is collected in a cruelty-free manner. It is basically the trait that snails leave behind which is later collected and made usable through various methods. (Don&#39;t worry it&#39;s safe). It contains 890,000ppm of Black snail mucin which is then combined with other ingredients that lend their superpowers to make an effective product. This serum contains licorice root extract which helps to brighten up the skin while reducing the frequent acne breakouts. Snail Truecica surely has a bright appearance when it comes to packaging. The outer covering and the bottle are of a radiant red colour that does contradict a lot of other Korean beauty products that I have used over the years. I like the fact that Some by Mi mention about the snail on their inner and outer packaging without having to hide it or put it discreetly. They also have a non-spill bottle and a &quot;skin-friendly&quot; tag on their outer packaging. The neat and commendable packaging attracts and makes the product stand out. Some by Mi snail Truecica serum has a slimy texture that is slightly sticky but easily seeps into the skin. The stickiness vanishes once the product is settled and the glowing skin is soft. Though it&#39;s sticky, the watery consistency allows it to spread easily on your face. You can use this lightweight serum before makeup also as it doesn&#39;t add any weight to the skin. Talking about the aroma, I thought it wouldn&#39;t be that good but, it has got a soft sweet smell, almost negligible. Honestly, I didn&#39;t find the aroma very dominating which is a good thing because I don&#39;t like sweet-smelling products.

Snail Truecica soothes sensitized skin and strengthens the skin barrier. It repairs the skin barrier and trouble spots with Black Snail Extract. It also offers acne spot care to erase skin pigmentation and stop melanin production. The fresh and moist toner brightens the dull and uneven skin tone.

🔘 Review:
Gentle removing dead skin cells. Gently exfoliates and remove skin waste, normalize skin turn-over period for keeping healthy skin. Suitable for sensitive skin since the skin irritation test has been completed so no more worries for flaky makeup due to dead skin! It cleans your face really well. I applied this toner after washing my face and it still removed residue from my pores without drying out skin. I no longer have redness in certain parts of my face and my skin is more evenly toned. My pores has shrunk significantly and it gets the remaining dirt, oil, and any residue left behind even after washing your face with a cleanser. This toner cleared up my pores and now my skin is so clear, smooth, and hydrated. Even without foundation it looks and feels great! I know everyone&#39;s skin is different and a product may be great for one person but maybe not be for others. This is working for me and I hope it continues to work. With regular use of the toner, especially in combination with other products of the line, the skin condition is noticeably improved: the amount of inflammation decreases, redness lightens, pores tighten, and the complexion improves. You won&#39;t know until you try and this product is worth a try. I hope it works for you.
