What the gurus are saying

The reformulated Cream Skin Refiner trades the original's richness for a lighter milky texture with added ceramides and peptides designed for hydration. Some gurus praise it as a universally friendly hydrator that feels weightless and never greasy, while those with dry skin who relied on the original's deep nourishing comfort may find this version lacks the intensity they were counting on.

"The Laneige Cream Skin Toner was her absolute favorite hydrating toner this year, and it was a product her viewers recommended to her."
Approved
"Their best product has to be their cream skin toner, I really like the old formulation when it was first launched, however the new one is honestly very nice, great for dryer skin, everyone could really benefit from the peptides and ceramide, I love this in the summer especially because I can get very oily, this product allows you to supply your skin with the moisture it needs without bogging down your skin in layers of product."
Approved
"I also still really appreciate the Lan cream skin toner I feel like this is the toner that set the tone for all these creamy milky toners that have hit the market"
~Mixed
"As a standalone product I think it's good. It hydrates the skin, it moisturizes it in a nice light layer that doesn't feel greasy, and it definitely has some interesting ingredients added into the new formula. But it is lacking that richness and that nourishment and that comfort that the original Cream Skin Refiner formula brought to dry skin. It just does not hold up to the amount of moisture that the original brought. If you're looking at it as a standalone product you're going to enjoy it, but if you're looking at it as a worthy replacement to the original formula, I think you're going to be disappointed because it absolutely is lacking that rich nourishing magic that the original had."
