the packaging: it comes in a yellow/green box that's made from recycled paper and the design is retro, so it's quite whimsical and unique. perhaps all the 'dew' products come in yellow/green combination because there are other products from other line that comes in different color combination. anyway, there's a bit description and ingredients list printed on the box but there's none on the bottle. the toner itself comes in green/blue glass bottle that's see-through with a white plastic pump head covered with another white plastic cap. there's only one label at front to indicate the name of the product. the pump head works fine and i don't have any problem with it. it's 60 ml which is not much for a toner (fyi, most sample size toners are 50 ml in size).

the scent: i don't think this one is scented, but at least it doesn't smell foul. but when i sniff it real close, i get a hint of medicated scent? 

the product: they say this one is a hybrid between toner and essence. well, the consistency is just that. it's somewhat in between. it's transparent and runny but it's not completely thin watery. it has some viscosity in it. it's still easy to spread around. it feels slippery when it's freshly applied. however, it takes a few seconds for it to be absorbed. 

the result: since it's a bit viscous, it doesn't sink in instantly. if i have to describe it, i'd say it stay on top of my skin for a few seconds before slowly sinking in. it does feel more moisturizing than hydrating. but it's expected since it's a hybrid of essence and toner, so it's supposed to do more than just basic hydration. anyway, i don't feel anything else aside from a bit moisturizing. i don't have sensitive skin so i can't say anything about its soothing properties. 

uhm.. i'm not totally sold on this hybrid thing. i don't have problems with thicker toner, however, i don't like the slippery feeling that i get after i spread it around. how it feels like it's on top of my skin before it finally sinks in. i just don't like it. anyway, if you're looking for something thicker but still lightweight, then this might be a good option for you. i think it'll be suitable for all skin types as long as it suits your preference. price wise it's affordable. availability wise, i think you can get it from their website of their official marketplaces. as for me, this is a no for me.
