  • Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb.

Questions and answers

How well does Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk work for oily skin?

This toner works reasonably well for oily skin by providing moderate moisture and oil absorption, though it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide for shine. Oily skin often needs a toner with oil-controlling and pore-clearing ingredients to manage excess shine effectively.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for oily skin?

This toner suits oily skin with kaolin and aluminum chlorohydrate to absorb extra oil, alongside hyaluronic acid and rice amino acids for light moisture. To be an even better fit for this skin type, a product like this needs targeted oil-controlling ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2018

What does Rice Milk do for oily skin?

Rice milk helps hydrate oily skin while keeping it feeling soft and smooth. Rice-derived ingredients provide moisturizing properties that are unlikely to cause irritation.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

You can use this hydrating toner in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizing, and also as part of your weekly routine after a cleansing mask. Oily skin works well with lightweight hydration, but this type of skin also needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help manage shine.

Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this hydrating toner with your retinol by applying it right after cleansing to keep your skin calm and soft. Follow with your retinol treatment and moisturizer to help prevent dryness.

Cutis, 2006The Journal of Dermatology, 2014

How often should I use this toner?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine, as it offers moderate moisture and oil-absorbing ingredients that are generally suitable for oily skin. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to address oily shine, oily skin also needs products with those balancing ingredients.

Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This toner may cause breakouts for oily skin, as some reviewers note breakouts and irritation. It helps add moisture safely, but an oily skin type needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to better manage shine and pores.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
