I have extremely sensitive skin, but really wanted to get into Korean skincare because I see all the results of others online. This product was suggested to me and so far I have 0 complaints. It has not caused me any irritation and absorbs quickly into the skin, which is huge for me because I get impatient waiting to continue my skincare. There’s no scent and is super lightweight. I have noticed a significant difference in my pore size already, and it’s only been a few weeks

I wanted to wait a couple of months before writing a review on this, and the ETUDE SoonJung pH5.5 Relief Toner to provide an accurate an honest opinion. I ordered these hoping to switch from my Farmhouse Fresh products that really didn't do much for my skin. My skin is sensitive and most always looks red, irritated, textured and dull. My t zone is oily but under the layer of oil you can clearly see dryness, and it was most evident on my forehead which highlighted fine lines. I'll usually have a pimple or 3 at any given time. I have some thick sideburns that I get sugar waxed and that area is rough and gets little bumps from hair growing back a couple weeks later. My neck is... Textured? Like kinda bumpy looking, is the best way I can describe it, I breakout on my neck somewhat often, too. My skin is not my friend. To prep I washed my face with FMF Green Tea Milk Wash BRIOTECH Topical Skin Spray (new product implementation at this time) And we're reading for this relief toner.... My first impression was that this toner is soothing and moisturizing. I've never had a moisturizing toner and this one really does not disappoint in that department. I applied to a cotton round and applied it on my face and neck. My skin felt wonderfully soft already. On initial application my skin turned pink, as I would swipe the product on, but felt no sting, burning, itchiness or any other adverse effects. After toner I applied one of my favorite products, Cellfood Oxygen Gel. Next, the 10 Free Moist Emulsion... Two pumps to face and neck. It is silky and lightweight, it absorbed well, provided really good NON greasy moisture! This one is big for me because I've never had a moisturizer that didn't make my face look slick and greasy.. well maybe I have, but those products didn't even hit the bar on adequate moisture to begin with. Almost 3 months in and I have used half of the toner, and I think a quarter of the emulsion. I LOVE it! I can attest to the claims of providing relief to irritated skin, several weeks ago I tried out a new physical sunscreen and it broke me out like crazy after two days, especially my neck, it looked like hives. I discontinued use immediately and that night went through my normal skin routine: green tea milk wash, briotech topical spray, pH5.5 relief toner, cellfood oxygen gel, 10 free moist emulsion and went to bed. Washing my face the next morning my skin was already halfway back to how it has been since I first incorporated these products months back. I love that it doesn't irritate my skin in any way, it looks the clearest it's been in gosh... I honestly don't know how long. I never had new acne pop up, in fact I believe it helped speed up the clearing process. My sideburn area stays soft as hair begins to grow back and my neck looks noticably smoother, and it greatly improved the dry fine lines on my forehead. I can't say anything negative about this product. My skin loves it, and I love my skin again.

Love this toner for my dry skin. It is the right oh to not aggravate my sensitive, patches skin, nourishes and rehydrates after washing face. Great, simple Korean beauty without the hype. I have been using it for years along with far costlier products.

No complaints

Everything I tried made my skin burn & peel, even “sensitive” cleansers or toners, and even the things that worked for me last time my skin got like this. (I think they changed the formula of the stuff I had used before). This product offers instant relief for the sensation, and my skin is gradually healing too. I first got it in the set of Etude House foaming cleanser, barrier repair cream and this toner. The cleanser is good and calming but does result in a bit of a drying /tightening sensation for me afterward. I tried each item separately for a while, to see if anything gave me a reaction. The cleanser is very gentle, but for my skin, I do need something after it to keep the moisture balance. The barrier repair cream in the gift set is good, and is light for a cream, but a bit heavier than the toner. It doesn’t make me break out or anything, but it does feel a bit heavier coated, while alleviating the slight drying feeling of the cleanser. This toner is super light and watery- isn’t a moisturizer or lotion at all, but it does the trick. It not only soothes the skin & helps with that “drying sensation” from the cleanser, but it is also very clearly healing my rosacea-prone peeling skin. I found that it helps to reapply throughout the day, and you can soak a cotton round and leave it on your face like a mask. The gift set only came with a small bottle, so I bought this bigger one and now I’m can use it throughout the day. I’m seeing so much more improvement. So glad to have the large bottle & I hope they don’t change the formula!

I wanted to wait until I had used this toner for at least 3 months before writing a review. It has been 5 months and I have just opened my second bottle. Initially I was skeptical. This product is completely fragrance free and feels and looks like water. After a month of consistent use I realize it is the perfect first step in my day and night routine. This toner provides just enough hydration and sets my skin up for any serums and actives.

I’ve struggled with sensitive skin for years and have tried countless toners that either overly dry my skin or cause irritation, but this ETUDE SoonJung toner has been a total game changer. The first thing I noticed was how gentle the formula feels — it doesn’t sting or burn at all, even when I apply it after cleansing. The pH5.5 formula feels balanced, and my skin drinks it in almost instantly without feeling tight afterward. I use it morning and night, applying it with my hands and also with a cotton pad when I need extra hydration. It leaves my skin feeling calm and moisturized, and I’ve noticed less redness and fewer flare-ups since I started using it regularly. The bottle is generous and lasts a long time, too. Overall, this toner feels like a calming drink of water for my face — exactly what my sensitive skin needed.

If you have hard water this is a non-negotiable. Splash a few drops on your palm right after washing/showering pat on face and neck, and your skin immediately feels hydrated and balanced. You know how, no matter what you use to wash your face, you have to immediately moisturize and even then it feels both dry and oily? Ok not explaining it well but this product not only makes your skin normalized, it makes your other lotions and potions more effective, and they soak in better. Don’t waste it by putting it on a pad, just pat it on. DOESN’T STING EYES! Also has no scent. I originally bought the small bottle, in case it sucked, and I now buy the large one. Besides sunscreen, this is the only product I wouldn’t want to be without.

I use it everyday. I love it 💜

On my second bottle of this, use this as one of my hydrating toners in my skincare routine. Gentle on skin, absorbs into skin leaving a dewy feel. No scent and no sticky feel.

I often buy only this toner; it moisturises well, does not cause allergies, and I am happy with it. The price is reasonable. Again, everyone is different; it may suit some people, but cause allergies in others.

Ottimo prodotto, ho risolto le irritazioni che erano sempre presenti sotto al mento e che mi impedivano la rasatura della barba quotidianamente. In combinazione con un buon detergente per viso a base di Ceramidi e Acido Ialuronico, la pelle è liscia e vellutata, rimuovendo appunto i piccoli brufoli fastidiosissimi.

As an aging male who’s not shy about wanting to look and feel good, I’ve built a skincare ritual around two powerhouses: the I’m From Rice Toner and the ETUDE HOUSE Soonjung pH 5.5 Relief Toner. The Rice Toner brings glow and hydration with its milky texture and 77% rice extract—it’s the “glass skin” secret weapon that brightens and smooths without any irritation. Great for evening out tone and locking in moisture. Then there’s the Soonjung pH 5.5 Toner—calming, lightweight, and perfect for sensitive skin. It balances my skin’s pH, reduces redness, and just feels incredibly gentle after shaving or exposure to dry air. Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and completely non-comedogenic. Using both in rotation or layering them depending on the day has been a game-changer. No hype—just solid Korean skincare that works. Highly recommended for men (or anyone) who wants an easy, effective routine without gimmicks.
