I purchased a couple of Iunik products in Korea and one of them was Iunik Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner. Check out my previous reviews on

Packaging, Scent and Texture
Iunik Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner comes in a clear plastic bottle with a twist and turn cap. The toner is clear in colour with a gel texture that has a viscous consistency. It is scentless and easy to glide on skin with cotton pads or hands but left a rather sticky film behind which goes away after awhile.
Performance and Ingredients
I enjoyed using Iunik Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner for its moisturizing and brightening benefits. I started off with using cotton pads to apply them as its fuss-free, convenient and quicker and moved on to using hands when I have alittle bit more time as I would pat my skin all over ( after spreading the toner on my palms ) with light tapping motions.
According to
L'oreal,
"Patting is a gentler way to apply your skin care products, which means it helps to minimize how much you’ll pull or drag on your skin. Since rubbing—which is the way many people tend to apply their skin care products—can create friction on your skin, it can cause irritation and inflammation, and even lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The truth is, it’s always better to treat your skin with a light hand as it can be more fragile than you’d think. Some proponents of the technique even suggest that patting can help skin care products to penetrate better."
The toner with its gel texture does left a slight tacky sensation behind but it goes away after a short while and doesn't really bother me as I would be following up with a serum and moisturizer. The texture may feel thick but it absorbs nicely into skin. You can also do a quick 2 to 3 layers on skin if you have super dry skin.
Initially, I was disappointed that there was no brightening effect but after using for about 60%, I started to see the brightening glow on skin. It was instantaneous, immediately after all the tapping motions and I was like WOW.
Needless to say, I was very pleased with Iunik Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner! I like that the product is affordable with great ingredients, hydrates well and plumps up the skin with a brightening glow! It is also one of ( Gothamista ) Renee's favourite products in
2018!

Conclusion
If you have been battling with dehydration, dry and dull skin, do consider adding Iunik Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner into your skincare routine but you must be patient to see the effects as it took me about 2.5 months of daily usage to see the brightening glow on my skin.
