I remember that BOJ got into lawsuit for their ginseng products, however I didn't dive deeper to see which particular products. With that in mind, I would choose the cosrx instead.

For brightening toners, I tried two that I quite like the results which are somebymi yuja and tiam's b3 toner. Both are more sticky if compared to typical toners upon application. You may look into the reviews and see which suit you better. If you're looking for higher efficiency of brightening, I'll suggest serums version of both of these tagged products.

Definitely the COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power essence! It's extremely gentle and I find it's great for repairing and healing skin damage.

Yes. I've read the same insight too. But I think I have to try a smaller version to see if my skin is ok with snail mucin since I've read a lot of comments that purged because of this.

Both are gentle products but won't really address dark spots or hyperpigmentation. These are more for boosting hydration. Serums with brightening ingredients would work better as they are more potent.
But if you're looking for a daily lightweight toner/essence, the BOJ might be better due to it's light, water-like texture compared to Cosrx's thicker, slimy, more viscous texture. BOJ would be better for layering multiple times as it's not very hydrating with just one layer, Cosrx is great for when you want quick hydration with just one layer. I think it comes down to the consistency/texture and your personal preference, besides the ingredients.

I'm actually thinking if I should buy another toner/essence, or just buy a large serum since I already have AHA/BHA clarifying treatment toner and I don't really use toners daily but wants to lighten my scars. That's why I'm thinking of buying Skin1004's Hyalu-cica First Ampoule

Snail mucin + peptide sounds cool if youre thinking of trying the cosrx one, but with peptides as a bonus!
