Pros
This product is incredibly hydrating! I've never experienced a toner that feels this moisturizing before.
Cons
As expected, after a week of use, I'm getting small bumps... Some pustules have appeared too, though I'm not entirely sure if it's solely because of this product.

Pros
* I have combination dehydrated skin! * * Texture * (I don't usually use exfoliating toners in winter) The consistency is slightly runny, somewhere between a toner and an essence, but leaning more towards a toner. You might think it's ambiguous, but once you apply it, it's much more hydrating than a water-based toner and does a great job at combating deep dryness. I think I'll reach for this a lot during the dry seasons! That's why I'm enjoying using it now! * Scent * I don't have a sensitive nose, so I didn't notice much of a scent. When I put a few drops on my hand and brought it close to my nose, I could faintly detect a hint of apple and coconut! * Packaging * My first impression was just okay, but the more I look at it, the prettier it seems! It's not flashy, but it's clean and unique. Above all, the opening seems well-designed. It dispenses just the right amount, making it easy to use. I like that it's semi-transparent, so you can see how much you've used. The paper part seems to be made of hanji (Korean traditional paper), which makes it nicely water-resistant.
Cons
* Ingredients * There are PEG ingredients, unfortunately... No wonder I suddenly got a couple of small blemishes... Overall, it's still gentle, so it's not too bad, but it's a bit disappointing.
Tip
It might work well as an essence substitute during the peak of summer!

Pros
The texture is like a runny gel, and it's unscented, making it perfect for a skin pack toner.
Cons
My skin reacted badly from the first use, but I didn't realize it was because of this product and kept using it. My skin condition gradually worsened. I don't usually have reactions to cosmetics, but I was shocked by how severe the blemishes became.
Tip
Looking through the reviews, it seems many others besides me have had skin reactions to this product. I recommend carefully checking the ingredients and trying a sample before purchasing.

Pros
It's a solid choice. As someone who always goes for reliable toners, I was very satisfied with this one. The texture flows smoothly, and it absorbs well into the skin.
Cons
The ingredients are a bit disappointing. I developed dermatitis on my eyelids after using this and struggled for a while. Also, it's just a basic toner, so you might be disappointed if you were looking for something with specific benefits.

Pros
Texture - Between a watery toner and a viscous one. If I had to choose, it's closer to a viscous toner with a slippery feel as its distinctive feature. Scent - If you're not sensitive to fragrances, you might think it's unscented. The scent is very subtle, and I can't quite place what it is. Hydration - After applying cream, I could really feel the difference. My skin felt noticeably more hydrated than usual, which is great!
Cons
However, it didn't quite agree with my skin. While I don't think it contains any pore-clogging ingredients, I felt like something was trying to surface after application. I wasn't sure if this was the cause, so I tried it three times. Since I only reacted right after using this product, I concluded that one of its ingredients doesn't suit my skin.
Tip
Even though I liked it, I couldn't use it on my face, which was a shame. Not wanting to waste it, I tried mixing it with jojoba oil to use on my body. Surprisingly, it blends extremely well with oil. Sometimes when my face feels itchy, I worry it might be demodex mites, so I mix oil that has anti-inflammatory properties with a water-based toner and apply it as the first step in my skincare routine. If anyone does something similar, I highly recommend mixing this product with oil. Unlike most water-based toners that don't mix well with oil, this one blends seamlessly - it's great!

Pros
As someone who usually only applies moisturizer, I found many benefits in this essence toner. It felt like it was deeply hydrating my skin, so I used it daily. What I noticed while using it was that its consistency is neither watery nor as thick as an essence, but somewhere in between, making it easy to apply. I also liked that the container allows you to flip it over and drop the product directly onto your face once you open the lid. While it's not completely non-sticky, it's not excessive, so I could use it comfortably without any unpleasant feeling.
Cons
However, it doesn't seem to suit my skin type (oily, acne-prone). My blemishes worsened just two days after I started using it, so I had to discontinue use.
Tip
When testing this or any other product, it's advisable to patch test behind your ear, on the back of your hand, or on your wrist before applying it to your face.

Pros
I love the adorable round packaging of this product! The essence has a slightly watery texture, leaving a nice hydrated feeling after application. Even when you apply a generous amount, it doesn't lose its moisture-retaining properties!
Cons
Oh my goodness... I rarely get blemishes, and when I do, it's usually just one occasionally. But after using this, I developed three blemishes on my cheeks and two on my forehead! I don't wear makeup often, and this is the only new product I've introduced recently, so it's definitely suspicious. I used it for two weeks, and the breakouts started around day 10. Unfortunately, this product doesn't seem to agree with my skin at all.

Pros
As a member of The Hwahae Testers, I tried this product with my sensitive combination skin. The texture is runny but absorbs well into the skin. The scent is nearly undetectable, which is great for those who are sensitive to fragrances. If you don't have particularly dry skin, this moisturizer provides enough hydration that it could be your sole summer skincare step.
Cons
Given my super sensitive skin, I didn't notice at first, but after 3-4 days of use, I started developing blemishes on my face. While a knife can open it, the packaging is more difficult to open compared to other brands' boxes.

Pros
I received this product a while ago but only had the chance to use it once. After the first use, I unfortunately developed a lot of small blemishes on my forehead the next day. I'd recommend doing a patch test before fully incorporating it into your routine. Being used to very watery products, I initially thought this had a slightly thicker consistency, but it's still quite fluid. The bottle design is great - it prevents overpouring and wasting product when applying to a cotton pad. There's a subtle scent, but it shouldn't be an issue unless you have extremely sensitive skin. I found the hydration level to be decent with just this product alone, but if you're looking for intense moisture, you might find it a bit lacking.
Cons
As I mentioned earlier, while the rest of my face was fine, I developed a lot of small blemishes on my forehead the day after using this. When I switched back to my usual skincare products, the blemishes mostly subsided. I'm honestly too scared to try it again, so I'll probably give it to someone else. Apart from this issue, everything else about the product was fine.

Pros
My skin type: Combination dehydrated skin (quite severe deep dryness) with super sensitive skin I've tried various toners, most of which felt watery, but this product is an essence toner, making it unique and intriguing! I don't usually keep cotton pads on hand, so I just applied this essence toner after cleansing, followed by my wrinkle cream and moisturizer. The best thing about this essence toner is how well it absorbs! I value absorption highly, and at first, I was skeptical, but it surprised me! When applying, it felt slightly rich (this might just be my perception), but once applied, it absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling firm and supple! I've been using it consistently for about 3-4 days since receiving it, and I've really grown to love this product! Its absorption is exceptional, it doesn't cause any blemishes, and it's a solid, reliable product overall. I'm satisfied enough to want to repurchase it! ☆Update (09/03/21)☆ It seems any previous blemishes coincided with my cycle! I prefer using this in the morning rather than before bed, and it works great each time! It absorbs better in the morning, and even when my skin isn't at its best, it still feels good. Of course, there's some oiliness when I apply moisturizer afterward, but that's normal. I've been using it consistently during the day, and I love it! The absorption is still fantastic, leaving my skin feeling firm and supple. I'll definitely want to buy another one when I run out. It's really great! I believe any previous issues were due to hormonal changes, which is why I'm writing this update for clarification.
Cons
I don't have any complaints yet, but I'll update if any arise after continued use. *Update (08/19/21)* After using this for a while, I noticed some painful, pimple-like blemishes appearing, especially around my chin and nose. They were quite large, so I've temporarily stopped using the product. I've never experienced such severe blemishes from a product before, so it was surprising. I'm not sure if it's due to this product or something else, but once my skin calms down, I'll try using it again and provide another update. (As mentioned in the 'good points' section above, this was likely due to hormonal changes. To avoid any misunderstandings, please read the entire review and note the dates.)
