  Pros

  Well, it's a large size, isn't it? I've never seen a toner like this before - 510ml. It felt so refreshing and light, like a cool breeze in the summer. When I used it as a toner pack before makeup, the heat sensation was greatly reduced, and my skin felt plump and bouncy. I'm glad there's no fragrance. I really dislike strong, artificial scents, but even after using the toner pack for a long time, I didn't feel any aversion to it. I've been mixing in some broccoli extract, as I've heard it's good for skin brightening. However, I can't say I've seen any real effects. Since it's just a water-based toner, it does help reduce the heat sensation when using a sheet mask, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my skin or the development of a skin barrier. It's kind of a 'meh' product. I wanted to share with you the products that have worked well for me, as well as the ones that didn't.

  Cons

  "Unimpressive is the new impressive!" This toner has absolutely no effects. It's just a plain water-based toner, so it only helps cool down the heat sensation, but doesn't really address dryness. It's one of those "use it or don't, it makes no difference" kind of products.

  Tip

  I mixed in some broccoli extract from the brand Iansop when using this toner. Since it's just a water-based toner, the broccoli extract blended in well, and when I used it as a toner pack, it seemed to be absorbed nicely into my skin.

  Pros

  1. Fragrance-free, good ingredients with a non-irritating feel This toner doesn't have an alcohol smell, so you can use it without any aversion or burden! Especially when using it after Stridex, there's no uncomfortable 'burning' sensation, so it doesn't irritate the skin. Also, the ingredients are very gentle, so it should be fine for those with sensitive skin as well. 2. Large volume The volume is a whopping 510ml, and the bottle itself is large, like a liquor bottle. So you can use it without burden~. I recommend this to those who use the 3-skin or 7-skin method. 3. Usage feel When I used other toners, as I have slightly dry skin, I felt like my skin dried out right away after application. But with this, the moisturizing effect lasts longer, and it feels quite hydrating. Of course, it doesn't last an extremely long time, so you'll need to use other moisturizing products, but it feels nicely hydrating when first applied! I received this through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event, and I plan to repurchase it later. It's a great toner for my dry skin~

  Cons

  1. The opening is terrifyingly large, so I'm always anxious about it spilling out... It just gushes out... Since I'm not very careful, I sometimes spill it. 2. The only downside is that there's nothing else.

  Tip

  1. The large volume means you can use it for the 3-skin or 7-skin method without burden, so try it out during the dry winter season~ 2. Since the opening is large, make sure to put cotton on it firmly before pouring! If you just want to apply it with your hands, I recommend using an empty bottle. It can still spill out easily~

  Pros

  I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and have been using the product for about a week, morning and evening. I tried both the skin pack and the multiple application method. When I first saw the product, I thought it looked quite serious. The ingredients and origin seemed serious as well, so I started using it with that preconception. The fragrance has almost no witch hazel scent, so even those who dislike that distinctive aroma can use it comfortably. The texture is watery, and as others have pointed out, the dispenser is wide and short, so it comes out quite quickly. It's inevitable that it overflows a bit even when applying with a cotton pad. I was worried that it might be a bit drying for my dry skin, especially in the winter, since the Serious brand is known to be suitable for oily skin. However, compared to the Dokdo toner I was using, the moisture lasts longer, especially after the skin pack. I think the glycerin is the reason for this. In any case, it's non-irritating, comes in a large volume, feels refreshing, and seems to have an antibacterial effect, so I'm quite satisfied with it unexpectedly. If the packaging could be improved, it would be even better. The label design is pretty. It suits my skin well without any issues or irritation, and I'm managing my exfoliation separately, so it's a perfect fit. I plan to repurchase this product.

  Cons

  I think it's suitable for combination, oily, and even dry skin types. For dry skin, using it occasionally as a toner might be a good option. As I mentioned before, if the packaging and dispenser could be improved, it would be even better.

  Tip

  I recommend trying it as a skin pack. It works well as a toner, but the moisture lasts quite a long time after using it as a skin pack.

  Pros

  This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The most satisfying aspect was that the toner has a generous 510ml volume, allowing for sufficient usage according to my needs. Upon opening, the scent is not overpowering, with a subtle aloe fragrance, and it is almost unscented during use. The Cue'ins toner is an imported product from the US, featuring witch hazel grown in the US as the main ingredient. As an alcohol-free toner, it is formulated with minimal ingredients to avoid irritation for sensitive skin. Witch hazel helps protect the skin and provides soothing properties, while the aloe component enhances the soothing effect. This makes the toner suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, without causing irritation. The formula is a pure water toner with a smooth, non-sticky texture, similar to the gliding sensation of hyaluronic acid toners. However, it absorbs quickly without the slow absorption of hyaluronic acid, effectively delivering hydration. It can be used comfortably for cleansing and as a facial mask, and it did not cause any irritation to my sensitive skin. My skin condition had deteriorated due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments, and in the evenings, my skin would feel tight and flushed with heat. I used this toner as a 3-minute facial mask every morning and evening after cleansing, and whenever I felt my skin heating up at night, I would soak a cotton pad with the toner and apply it to my face. The toner quickly calmed my irritated skin and helped lower the skin temperature without causing any breakouts, making it a very useful product for me.

  Cons

  The downside, as with all toners, is that the main ingredient is water, so the moisturizing power is relatively weak. Additionally, due to the large dispenser opening, it is not easy to control the amount used.

  Tip

  To address the difficulty in controlling the amount, instead of applying the toner directly to a cotton pad each time, it would be more convenient to pour an appropriate amount into a cotton pad container and soak the pads, then use them as needed. This way, you can avoid wasting excess toner and use it more conveniently.

  Pros

  This is an alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and colorant-free product. The ingredient list is very simple and it comes in a large volume. There is no signature witch hazel scent, so it feels clean and fresh. I applied it twice by patting it onto my skin, and my skin felt smooth and soft when I finished. When I wiped it off with a cotton pad, there was no residue or greasy feeling left behind. I think this would be a great option for those who follow a multi-step skincare routine (like the 3-skin method). Personally, I use a cotton pad made of pure cotton, and while other toners get absorbed right away, the Caudalie product seems to float on top of the cotton pad, not getting fully absorbed. So I've been using a different toner instead.

  Cons

  This product doesn't have any pore-tightening or blemish-soothing effects, so don't have high expectations for those benefits. It's just a gentle, mild toner.
