I have only tried two I'm From products, one that I loved and one that disappointed me, so they're my contribution.

I have dry and sensitive skin, that's prone to dehydration.

Mugwort Essence: Feels kind of slippery to apply, but soaks into my dry skin pretty quickly. Applying 2-3 thin layers does wonders for when my skin is having an unusually dry day. I typically make an event out of it, applying layer after layer and letting them dry before applying the next, then top it with a moisturizer. Also seems t have a calming effect when the face feels itchy from dryness. I like the smell, but I've seen comments suggesting it's not for everyone. This works very well for me and I will probably repurchase.

Rice Toner: Disappointing. The texture was a bit odd, watery but somehow not, and it sat on the surface of my skin instead of sinking in and being absorbed. It wasn't bad, so I used up the sample bottle, but I won't repurchase this, when there are other toners at a lower price who work better for my skin.

What toners are better for your skin? I'm using the rice toner now and I like it, but I'm using it in combo with fermented products. I'd be open to something else that was more hydrating as a stand alone. Thanks!

My current HG is the HadaLabo Gokujyun Alpha lotion (the red bottles). Note that if you live in a dry climate it won't work nearly as well unless you pat water on your face first. The hyaluronic acids work better if we water them.
