Overview
The Face Shop built this toner around chia seed extract in a lotion, oil textured formula made for all skin types but positioned specifically for dryness. It is unscented and manufactured in the Republic of Korea by LG Household and Healthcare, and it is meant to be applied after cleansing with hands or a cotton pad.
At $17, it sits at a mid range price point for a Korean toner, and its lotion texture sets it apart from thinner, more liquid toners in this category. The formula is designed to refresh dry, flaky skin and prep it for the moisturizing steps that follow.
This toner has picked up a 4.6 star average across 601 ratings, a solid and consistent score, though its current bought last month figure shows no recent purchase activity, suggesting demand has slowed even as its overall rating history stays strong.

Performance notes
Chia seed extract is the featured ingredient in this formula and is positioned to help recharge moisture in dry, tired looking skin. Because the texture is a lotion rather than a thin liquid, it sits closer to a hydrating essence than a classic astringent toner, which fits its dryness focused positioning.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 601 ratings is a solid, consistent score for a toner in this category, though the lack of recent bought last month activity suggests current demand has cooled compared to its overall review history.
