VERDICT
June 16th, 2017: I wouldn't go so far as to say I love this, but this seems to be a decent enough toner. It's got a nice viscous liquid texture that applies nicely, but it is very fragranced and it kind of borders on being too much. I was ok with it for the most part, especially since I put other products on top of it which helped to negate the scent, but on it's own you can definitely smell it even after application so if you are sensitive to fragrance beware.
As for the actual performance of this product...it plays more of a minor supporting role. It's nice to have and use when it's there, and seemed to help some keeping my skin calm and soothed and keeping the redness at bay, but I wouldn't miss it in the least if it was gone. However, I did notice that it contains alcohol. Not only does it contain alcohol, but it's the third ingredient listed which is probably why it dries down so quickly.
If you have oily skin you would probably like the fact that it dries so quickly, but if you have dry skin you probably wouldn't like this as it dries so lightening quick and it's not that hydrating and the alcohol would probably further dry out your already dry skin...although it does have some other nice ingredients like Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, and Sodium Hyaluronate.
I layer a ton of other hydrating products on top of this, which I assume is probably why I haven't had any issues with my skin getting dried out from this...I think layering so many great and hydrating products on top of and below this has has helped to negate the negative ingredients, but user beware.
I got this in one of my Beauteque subscription bags and like I said while it was decent enough, enough for me to use up my entire bottle, I have no plans to get another bottle of this...there's definitely better out there. Also, while this does say it's for all skin types, I think this is probably better suited for people with oily skin, but regardless of skin type this does contain alcohol and fragrance so I wouldn't recommend this.
If you're on the hunt for a great toner, then I would suggest checking out one of Nooni's toners: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/nooni.html, Huxley's Extract It Toner: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/12/huxley-skincare.html, or Enprani's Dear By Moistful Booskin (review pending). Another good option is Missha's Time Revolution Clear Toner: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/05/missha.html.

VERDICT
January 14th, 2017: OMG it smells so good, but OMG I hate it. This cream is so heavy and emollient and suffocating feeling on my face I ended up rinsing it off afterwards and re-starting my skincare even though you're not supposed to...you're just supposed to wipe off the excess product not rinse it off.
Unlike the description, this DID NOT leave my skin wonderfully satiny smooth or without any oiliness. My face was crazy shiny, greasy and oily afterwards...like crazy oily. It was like I had a layer of grease on my face which was suffocating my pores. The only thing that rang true was that it wasn't sticky. That I will give to them. It definitely wasn't sticky.
Even though this is a yogurt massage cream, it's got a thicker consistency than yogurt. It's not like the yogurt mask that I tried from Etude House: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/01/etude-house_30.html, which really did look and feel just like yogurt...and was great, FYI. This truly is an emollient cream...which I guess since this is supposed to be a massage cream, you would want a thicker, slick and oily cream to lubricate your face for massaging and not something that is thin so as not to create friction which would be bad. This isn't something that just sits on the face...so logically I do understand why, but it doesn't change the fact that I still hate it.
If you're someone with very dry skin that really needs some deep hydration then perhaps you will like it, or if you're someone that doesn't mind that heavy greasy feeling on the face since massaging the face is a good skincare habit to have, but for me this is a definite pass...which is a shame because it smells so so good...although looking at the ingredients list it does contain mineral oil as it's 2nd ingredient, which is an ingredient you should avoid in your skincare and it also contains fragrance, FYI.
