OHUI Meister For Men Fresh Skin

What is this product?

A light men's toner built on water, alcohol denat. and butylene glycol, with panthenol and betaine for light hydration and vinegar featured in the mid-to-late list. The high alcohol position makes it better suited to oily or combination skin than to dry or sensitive skin.

What makes it different?

Vinegar is an unusual featured ingredient for a men's toner, sitting at position 14 of 19 with an undisclosed concentration. Panthenol at position 7 and betaine at position 9 give the formula some genuine humectant support. Fragrance at position 8 plus five listed fragrance allergens make scent noticeable, and alcohol denat. at position 2 drives the fresh feel but can sting sensitive skin.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 2 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
