What they liked

  • Watery, quickly absorbed texture
  • Hydrates without heaviness
  • Layers well on skin

What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This watery, thin-textured toner dives deep to hydrate without weight and stays layerable for repeated applications. The 39% centella, 28% heartleaf, and 25% licorice root extract blend calms sensitive skin and eases redness. Takes split on repurchasing: some enthusiastically endorse it, while others found it competent but not remarkable enough to buy again, though both appreciated the generous 300ml size and affordable price.

    "This is the Numbuzin Vitamin Boosting Essential Toner, which is fifteen dollars. It's a really nice toner with a moderate texture, not too liquidy and not too runny, with a little bit of thickness that makes it nice to pat into your skin, maybe in your evening routine. It has sea buckthorn water, which is great for brightening skin, ethyl ascorbic acid, glutathione, ascorbic acid, arbutin, and Japanese gold thread, all great antioxidants and brightening ingredients. This whole lineup from Numbuzin is pretty wonderful. If you haven't tried it, it's worth checking out."

    "It's a nice toner, it's without a lot of ingredients, it works and hydrates and soothes most skin. It's not a must-have for me. I liked it, I'll certainly finish it, but it's nothing that's overly exciting to me that I would repurchase it. It does help with redness and things like that. In terms of the bottle size, it's still pretty big, so that's not going to be an issue, and it's pretty affordable."

    Are These Popular Viral Toners Actually Good? | Tier List
    "This is my favorite product from Numbuzin. It instantly cools your skin, it's amazing for summer. If you have redness or heat-prone skin, layer it once or twice more. It's definitely watery, but you can feel that it's hydrating. The ingredients are very safe, they renewed it, this is the new version with a green bottle. It's an all-family toner, safe even for pregnancy. It's a number one toner, the pads are pretty good too. If you're a teenager, have redness, or are in tropical weather, go for it."

    "I didn't know I would like this because it's super watery, but it definitely makes my skin feel soothing. My skin sometimes burns and I don't want anything too heavy, I just want a product I can kind of expect how it will feel, and this toner is just like that. Compared to Anua, I definitely feel this one is more moisturizing. You can just tap it on, or put it on a cotton swab for the toner pad, and that works well too."
    I tried VIRAL TIKTOK KOREAN SKINCARE products… a brutal and honest review(Not Sponsored)
    "I'll tell you, this toner is not for dry skin, it's for oily combo skin, so keep that in mind. As someone with dry skin, I layered it twice but I didn't feel like it was hydrating. But my husband, who has the oiliest skin you can imagine, hates it when something is too sticky and you have to apply it many times, but he loved this one. So in summer, if you want a lighter toner, it works pretty good, and the green tea ingredient works well with oily combo skin. However, the liquid is a brown color, and for me that was okay, but some reviews say it stains their pillow brown, which isn't good, so keep that in mind."

    "I love their soothing toner."

    "This is one of my favorite toners, like generally speaking, but also from Numbuzin. This is such a really great lightweight, easily layerable, hydrating toner that really dives in deep to the skin. Really provides a lot of hydration and it's particularly good if you do have sensitive skin, but you're also suffering with things like redness, inflammation, and acne because not only does it hydrate the skin, it also has some great anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients in it as well. In the ingredients list, this toner is really made up of 39% of centella, 28% of heartleaf, as well as 25% of licorice root extract. All three of these are amazing for calming inflammation, for calming sensitivity, irritation, and redness on the skin. They all have really great healing benefits to the skin. Some of them including heartleaf are antibacterial, which can be particularly good for folks who are suffering with breakouts, but it is a very minimal and very gentle formula as well. This toner does not contain any forms of drying alcohol, no fragrances and no essential oils. And it does have this really nice lightweight, very runny texture."

    "I've been using this a little over a week and I actually really like it. It feels very hydrating, it's really watery, it has that right texture. It doesn't have like a lot of body or anything, it's just like really quickly absorbed but it dives deep and that's what I really need right now. This actually just feels so good."
    The Best Skincare of 2024!
    "OMG this is everything I want in a hydrating toner. A watery thin quickly absorbing texture, something that I can layer onto my skin multiple times, something that dives deep into my skin. I have dehydrated skin so I always always say like the hydration that goes really deep and gets to the source of the dehydration gets really deep down in there. I'm not talking about some wimpy little watery toners that just stick on top of your skin. I wanted deep deep replenishment. This offers that but in a thin, watery texture. It's layerable. And it comes in a giant size 300 ml for this toner bottle and it's very affordable too. It's a pretty minimal ingredients list and my sensitive skin absolutely loves it."

    "This is definitely one of my favorites, definitely my top favorite from the video for sure. This just suits my combination dehydration prone skin so well. I do also have sensitive skin so these calming extracts really do feel calming on my skin, they feel really really nice. I definitely recommend it, especially in hot weather, and to really build hydration on your skin if you are suffering with dehydration this is the perfect toner for that because you can put more layers on and you build a lot of refreshing hydration but it's not thick, it's not greasy. Sometimes when you put a toner or an essence on a couple times it gets a little funny on top, but this doesn't, it just has a really nice texture. I do want to point out that in the line of Numbuzin toners this is the one that comes in the biggest size, it's 300 mL of product, and just for reference most Korean hydrating toners like the standard size is about 150, so you're getting twice as much."

    "I really fell in love with it pretty much from the first use because it's everything that I love in a toner. I really love a watery texture with toner but it has to be a full watery texture. It can't be thin in the way that it kind of sits at the top of your skin and feels wet when you put it on and then it's like you didn't really put anything on your skin. This is the really thin watery texture that once it applies to your skin it feels like it goes deeper into the layers of your skin and then there's a fullness deeper in the layers of your skin full of hydration. At first it looks watery and thin but it actually dives deeper and then expands into lots of hydration at the deeper layers without the weight without the stickiness. I love it because not only does it feel good on the first application but it's something you can layer a couple of times. As the temperatures get warmer I'm doing that a lot more, layering this for maximum hydration while keeping the weight really thin."

    "This is easier to apply, I think it sinks in a little bit better. It's getting a solid 10 out of 10. The blend of ingredients is divine, same bouncy feel on the skin, and it doesn't leave behind any stickiness or tackiness. I like the fact you've got that glutathione, and whilst the Tirtir is going to be the very best for hydrating the skin, this is a great one for hydrating and also fading hyperpigmentation at the same time. That for me is a winner. Numbuzin knocked it out of the park when it came to this product."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    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.
