What the gurus are saying
This toner delivers serious hydration with a gentle, calming feel that suits acne-prone skin well. The mugwort and rice extract appeal to those after soothing properties, while the sodium hyaluronate complex locks in moisture effectively. One caveat: it reads richer than a typical toner because of emollient esters and niacinamide at five percent, so anyone with oily skin may find it too occlusive for daily use, though those with dry skin or combo skin layering it with lighter products report it works beautifully. Availability is spotty outside dedicated K-beauty retailers, which can make it tricky to restock.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
