Journal entry

The four toners in my haul, logged honestly

My last Olive Young haul kept circling back to the same four toners everyone talks about: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner, Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner, and Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner. Ranked by what I'd actually repurchase specifically for a glass-skin glow, Anua's Rice 70 comes out on top of my list — but I want to log clearly that Round Lab's Dokdo Toner is still the more universally loved pick of the four overall, and I'm not pretending otherwise.

My criterion

Why the order is different from a popularity ranking

This journal entry is ranked by what I'd repurchase for glass-skin glow specifically — a narrower, personal criterion than 'most universally loved.' That's the honest reason Rice 70 leads here instead of Dokdo Toner.

The haul

All four, logged in my repurchase order

1. Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner

My repurchase pick for glass-skin glow specifically — the trendy glass-skin-look formula, richer and milkier than Heartleaf 77%.

2. Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner

₩ price varies — the more universally loved toner overall, and still the best first K-beauty toner for most skin types.

3. Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner

₩15,000 in Korea (about $11), around $18 in the US — best for sensitive, red, or acne-prone skin.

4. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner

Gentle exfoliation plus a glow finish, a middle-ground pick.

Honest note

Why this isn't just 'Anua wins twice'

Two Anua products showing up in one haul journal isn't me stacking the deck — Heartleaf 77% and Rice 70 solve genuinely different problems (calming vs. glow), and I've logged Round Lab's Dokdo Toner as the more broadly loved product of the four because that's what the sourcing actually shows.
