Texture: It's completely devoid of oiliness and is fully packed with moisture. Fragrance: It's almost unscented, but has a slightly refreshing aroma. True to its name 'Minus Toner', it has a minimalist design and is almost colorless and fragrance-free, but it's not a complete zero in terms of content. I think it's really refreshing and moisturizing, so it's very suitable for dehydrated skin! The toner also gets absorbed into the skin right away and feels really good.
ConsThere's a small disappointment in the design. The toner bottle is semi-transparent, and the entire body is covered in a sticker, making it difficult to check how much toner is left. I think the product packaging needs some improvement.
TipAfter cleansing, thoroughly soak a cotton pad with the toner and gently wipe it across your skin. Then, press the remaining toner on the cotton pad onto any areas that need extra moisture. For those with dry skin, especially in the fall and winter, you can take an extra step after the above - just dispense a bit more toner onto your palms and lightly pat it all over your face to really amp up the hydration!

It seems perfect as a toner to be wiped off after cleansing.
ConsYou need to apply it multiple times to feel like your skin is being moisturized.

While I didn't use all 7 toners, I was able to use about 2-3 toners' worth of product, so I can share my thoughts. To start with the positives: 1. It's gentle The product itself is really gentle. I didn't have any issues with it not agreeing with my skin or causing any breakouts, which was great. 2. It's not heavy and applies lightly and refreshingly. I'd recommend this to those with oily skin. It really does feel light and refreshing when applied. 3. It has a soothing effect. I bought this mainly for the hydrating benefits, but I was pleasantly surprised that it also helped calm any trouble spots I had. It seemed to help soothe and heal blemishes faster.
Cons1. There's no one-step 'holy grail' solution. I was considering repurchasing, but given that there are many other great toners out there, I ended up going back to being a 'toner nomad' instead. It's a bit disappointing that there's no definitive 'must-buy' factor, but the product itself is still really good. If I was quickly grabbing something at Olive Young, I'd probably pick this up again.

Refreshing and crisp usage Definitely, as it's a Daktorā, the feeling of cleansing is very refreshing and invigorating. 2. Liquid with a slight viscosity I don't really like it when cleansers are too watery and thin, but this one has a bit of viscosity, so even after cleansing, my skin felt slightly moisturized until I applied the ampoule. 3. Skin texture refinement Surprisingly, after cleansing with this product and before applying the ampoule or essence, I didn't feel any rough or flaky skin, as if my skin had been gently smoothed out. 4. Soothing effect To be honest, even when using creams or toners with centella ingredients, I don't really feel a strong effect, and this was about the same - just so-so.
ConsAs a cleanser, I don't think there were any major downsides. But if I had to find a standout feature or advantage, I don't think there really was one.
TipI think this would be great to use in the summer as it cleanses refreshingly and provides a bit of hydration.

It has a moisturizing yet cooling sensation, making it feel good to use. The reviewer did not experience any irritation or breakouts. The fragrance is extremely refreshing, like peppermint or lemon. It also has very few harmful ingredients, so it can be used with confidence. It's a very versatile and lightweight product that works well. Except for using it alone, and for those with sensitive skin, it should be suitable for any skin type. Personally, the pros and cons of this product are not particularly striking. However, as it has very few harmful ingredients and has a light, refreshing feel, it would be a good choice for those new to skincare, those who haven't settled on a good skin toner, or those looking for a soothing product for their skin.
ConsIt feels like there is almost no moisture. Perhaps due to the change in seasons, it feels moisturizing during use, but quickly dries out after absorption. It may be unsuitable for use alone during the transitional seasons or winter, but could work well alone or as a cooling product in the summer. Using it alone seems absolutely impossible. It splashes out too much when applied to a cotton pad, and it seems to be used up surprisingly quickly.

After cleansing, I would thoroughly wipe my entire face with a cotton pad, then scoop out a bit more and let it absorb into my skin, and it felt very refreshing. 💛Absorption & Moisturizing Power: When I wiped my face with a cotton pad, the absorption was very quick. I also felt the moisturizing power kick in quickly. And when I scooped out a bit more and let it absorb, the absorption was good, and the moisturizing power was not bad either. 💚Fragrance: It had a mild fragrance. It was a gentle yet slightly refreshing scent, and I enjoyed smelling it throughout the use. 💙Volume: I think the volume is not bad for the price. 💜Recommended Skin Type: I think it suits any skin type. But it would especially be good for sensitive or acne-prone skin types. It's calming and gentle, so I recommend it.
ConsI didn't have any particular issues! In fact, before I started using this product, just touching my face would cause painful pimples to pop up, but after using this product, the pimples have noticeably improved.
TipSometimes I would soak a cotton pad thoroughly with toner and gently press it onto my cheeks, forehead, and face, using it like a toner pack. It's calming and makes my skin feel even more moisturized and refreshed. I think using it as a toner pack occasionally is a great tip as well👍

I received the product on the 26th and started using it on the 27th. When I first received it, it was described as a 'Minus Toner' that reduces puffiness and trouble, so I had some expectations. I used it by soaking a thin gauze-like cotton pad and applying it. The scent was a style I really like - a refreshing yet subtle, pleasant smell, not at all irritating. Being a 'Minus Toner', it does feel refreshing. I have a combination skin type, and my T-zone gets very oily, causing my makeup to break down quickly and not last long. But after using this toner, I feel my oil-moisture balance lasts longer. My skin has been getting more sensitive lately, and I can't use just any product, but this didn't cause any irritation. The watery formula absorbs quickly. Since most people don't rely solely on a toner for their entire skincare routine, I won't comment on the moisturizing power. The packaging design is cute and simple. I don't expect a toner to have any major functions, as I believe the simplicity of a toner is its charm. This seems to be a well-rounded toner that I can use comfortably, with good ingredients and value for the price.
ConsWhile there were no breakouts, I didn't really notice my skin condition improving significantly. This may be due to the fluctuations in my skin lately. I'm also not sure about the de-puffing effects, as my face didn't seem to get much less puffy.
TipUsing a thin, gauze-like cotton pad seems to help my skin texture get better organized compared to using a heavily water-absorbing cotton pad.

As this is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review, I feel I should provide a more detailed and meticulous account, so I've been jotting down my impressions every time I use it. The first advantage is that it's incredibly refreshing! It really has a cool, crisp scent (but not a minty toothpaste kind of feeling). When I first opened it, there was some kind of foil-like material covering it, which made it look very clean and neat. Ah, and the design is really innovative!! I've never seen a toner bottle shaped like this before... It kind of reminds me of a medicine bottle from a science lab! But at the same time, this shape seems more convenient.
ConsThe disappointing aspect is that this toner has a very watery formula, so it feels like it evaporates quickly. Ah, and the moisturizing effect is a bit weak, so it's better to use this in the morning after a light face wash, rather than at night before bed. (It feels like I suddenly jumped from the 'disappointing aspects' to 'tips', but that's a secret! There weren't really any disappointing aspects... 👍👍)

But I heard this toner also helps balance sebum, so I was really worried about that before using it. However, contrary to my worries, it feels appropriately fresh and adequately moisturizing. It's just the right amount of moisture I wanted! ✔️My skin is visibly improving I'm not only getting older, but I also have acne-prone skin by nature. So I've been to dermatologists since I was young, but my skin would only get better temporarily while I was going, and then go back to being bad when I stopped. So I've never really had good skin. But after using this toner, my skin is visibly getting better! Even my mom said my skin looks so much better, and before, the difference between with and without makeup was very stark, but now even without makeup, my skin doesn't look that bad in the mirror. ✔️My makeup doesn't lift as much I have very dehydrated oily skin, so I have a lot of oil but lack moisture, making it very difficult to do my makeup. But I've been doing very matte makeup to avoid the oiliness, and the lifting was quite severe. However, after using this toner, my makeup lifts much less! It doesn't completely prevent lifting, but it's a lot better. I feel like I've found the toner of my life. Thank you, Hwahae!😭😭
Cons✔️Might be a bit drying for dry skin types I have oily but dehydrated skin, so the appropriate freshness was just right for me, but for dry skin types, it might be a bit drying.
