BRING GREEN
Tea Tree Cica Soothing Toner
250 ml · 500 ml
BRING GREEN's Tea Tree Cica Soothing Toner is the steadiest toner in Olive Young Korea's skincare ranking: #33 on 6 Sep 2026, #38 on 1 Oct and #31 on 13 Oct, and #2 among toners by sales on 14 Oct. Olive Young owns the brand, so its 42,811 listing reviews sit on the brand owner's own store. Tea tree extract, tea tree leaf water and panthenol lead its Korean list.

Combination or oily skin that wants a light, watery toner
A big bottle for soaking cotton pads
Skip it if
Dry skin that wants a toner to do the moisturizing
Watch out: Korean reviewers on Olive Young say it does not hydrate enough for dry skin (5 Oct 2026 review sample). Hwahae shows 4.39 from 601 reviews on 14 Oct 2026, the smallest base of the three steady sellers here.
Texture: Watery, per the brand.
Label caution: Korean label: do not use on children aged 3 or under; keep away from the eye area.

Torriden
DIVE IN Toner
300 ml · 500 ml
Torriden's DIVE IN Toner climbed to #26 in Olive Young Korea's skincare ranking on 13 Oct 2026, after #46 on 6 Sep and #47 on 1 Oct, each time as a 500 ml set with cotton pads. Hwahae gives it 4.80 from 36,460 reviews on 14 Oct 2026, the highest score on this list. The Korean version is a renewal that adds ectoine, licorice extract and arginine to five forms of hyaluronic acid.
Good for
Skin that feels tight but dislikes heavy layers
Patting on two or three thin layers
Skip it if
You want the renewed Korean formula delivered in the US
Watch out: The Amazon US listing we read on 14 Oct 2026 lists the earlier formula, without ectoine, licorice extract or arginine. Its ranks come from set listings with cotton pads and a character collab, not the plain bottle.
Texture: Clear, watery toner.

Anua
Heartleaf 77 Hyaluron Soothing Toner
250 ml · 350 ml
Anua's heartleaf toner made the Olive Young Korea skincare Top 100 on all three dates, #53 on 13 Oct 2026, as a 350 ml bottle sold with a refill. Heartleaf water is 77% of its Korean list, followed by water, glycerin and betaine, with hyaluronic acids in ppm and ppb amounts. This is the renewed Heartleaf 77 + Hyaluron version, and its Hwahae entry had only 18 reviews (3.83) on 14 Oct 2026.
Good for
You want a heartleaf-based toner
Shoppers buying in Korea, where the renewed version is sold
Skip it if
You want a toner with a long Korean review record for its current formula
Watch out: The Amazon US listing we read on 14 Oct 2026 carries the earlier Heartleaf 77 formula, a different ingredient list from the renewed Korean one. Hwahae's entry for the renewed toner had just 18 reviews on 14 Oct 2026, too few to weigh.

Heartleaf Calming Toner
300 ml
Blanc Nature's heartleaf toner was #55 in Olive Young Korea's skincare ranking on 6 Sep 2026 and #43 on 1 Oct, but out of the Top 100 on 13 Oct; it was still #12 among toners by sales on 14 Oct. Its Korean list puts heartleaf extract second at 100,000 ppm, with niacinamide and panthenol close behind. It sold as a 300 ml bottle with a 30 ml travel size.

How we picked
Pool: every toner (Olive Young category: skincare › skin/toner) in Olive Young Korea's skincare sales ranking Top 100 on 6 Sep, 1 Oct and 13 Oct 2026, plus the 96 best-selling toners in that category on 14 Oct 2026.
Left out: exfoliating acid liquids (named exfoliant, acid or AHA/BHA), spot, pigment and retinoid toners, and listings that sell a toner together with another product as one choice.
Order: how many of the three Olive Young Korea skincare rankings each toner appears in, then its median rank (missing = 101), then its 13 Oct rank. Price and commission play no part.
2 of the 5 products with an Olive Young Korea rank reached it through a promotional listing (influencer pick, Olive Young pick, collab or sale).
Ranked products that came from a gift-set or bonus listing (an extra item or a second unit in the pack): 4 of 5 — a rank can partly reflect the deal.
None of these was tested on skin by us; the order comes from the Korean data on this page.
For most US readers, Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Toner is the pick.
Its Amazon US listing matched the Korean ingredient list when we read it on 14 Oct 2026, and it has the largest Hwahae review base of the five on 14 Oct 2026.
Otherwise: You are buying in Korea and want the renewed formula → Torriden Dive In Toner
Questions, answered
Which Korean toner do Koreans buy the most right now?
BRING GREEN's Tea Tree Cica Soothing Toner has the steadiest record. It was top 40 in Olive Young Korea's skincare ranking on 6 Sep, 1 Oct and 13 Oct 2026, and #2 among toners by sales on 14 Oct. Olive Young does not publish how it ranks, so our order uses three dates instead of one.
Is Torriden Dive-In Toner on Amazon the same as in Korea?
Torriden's toner on Amazon US is not the current Korean version. The listing we read on 14 Oct 2026 has the earlier 20-ingredient list; Korea now sells a renewal with ectoine, licorice extract and arginine added. Buying in Korea gets you the renewed formula.
Why is Paula's Choice BHA not on this list?
Paula's Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a leave-on acid exfoliant, a separate step from a hydrating toner. It sells well at Olive Young Korea and sits in its toner category, but our rule left out exfoliating acid liquids, including The Ordinary's glycolic acid toner, before we looked at any store.
Which Korean toner suits dry skin?
Torriden's DIVE IN Toner is the one to try first if your skin feels tight. Its Korean list has five forms of hyaluronic acid, and Hwahae gives it 4.80, the highest score here (14 Oct 2026). Round Lab's and BRING GREEN's toners draw Korean reviews saying they do not hydrate enough for dry skin.
Is BRING GREEN a real Korean brand?
BRING GREEN is Olive Young's own brand, made in Korea by COSMAX according to the Korean notice. That matters for its reviews: the 42,811 reviews on its listing are collected on the brand owner's own store, so read them with that in mind, next to its Hwahae score of 4.39.
More questionsDo I use a Korean toner with a cotton pad or my hands?
Round Lab's 1025 Dokdo Toner is meant for a cotton pad, wiped along the skin after cleansing, per the brand. Anua's directions say to pat it in, and Torriden lists both, a cotton pad or your palm. Whichever you use, apply it right after washing your face, before serum or cream.
Is Anua's US toner the renewed Heartleaf 77 + Hyaluron version?
Anua's toner on Amazon US is not the renewed version. The listing we read on 14 Oct 2026 has the earlier Heartleaf 77 list, with sugarcane and portulaca extracts, so its formula differs from the Korean one. Korea sells the Heartleaf 77 + Hyaluron renewal, with glycereth-26, zinc PCA and several hyaluronic acids.
