Compared to other toners, this one gives a much stronger cleansing sensation when wiping, and it's so convenient to use. My nose and surrounding areas used to feel oily shortly after cleansing, but with this product, I stay shine-free for half a day!
ConsThe alcohol scent might be too much for those sensitive to fragrances. It has a strong smell. It became difficult to use when there was little left in the bottle. The convenience factor seemed to decrease over time.
TipI'm not sure if it's because I have a larger face, but I find that spraying it three times on a cotton pad to clean my cheeks and nose, once for my forehead, and once more for under my chin leaves my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed.

Highly recommended for those with excess sebum.
ConsThe alcohol scent is too strong and it's quite irritating. Those with sensitive skin should think carefully before purchasing.

But this toner is truly the best for controlling excess oil. It's perfect for my extremely oily skin (acne-prone, with oil that breaks through powder makeup, ugh). Even when I try other products, I always come back to this one.
ConsWhen I first used it, there was a slight alcohol scent. For some reason, it stung my eyes a bit, but I've gotten used to it now and it's fine. However, if you don't have extremely oily skin, this might be too drying as it's very effective at controlling sebum. I use it even in winter without issues, but it might be too much for others.
TipAfter cleansing, I use this exfoliating toner at least twice. It's the first step in helping to control excess oil.

Pros: 1. Even though it's summer and there seems to be a lot of sebum left in my pores after cleansing, this product seems to help remove sebum more effectively! 2. Large size! 3. The packaging is so convenient~ It's a pump dispenser, so you can just pump it onto a cotton pad and use it. No spills and very easy to use.
Cons1. I was surprised by how strong the alcohol scent was... 2. Maybe because I have sensitive skin, I developed about 4 blemishes while using it... (individual results may vary~) 3. Don't expect this to reduce sebum production or make oily skin less shiny! Unfortunately, oil still comes through quite a bit...

The price point is low. It's not particularly great though. It strips away too much moisture, which can actually cause blemishes.
ConsIt feels like an alcohol-based toner. It reminds me of when I accidentally spilled alcohol from a lab experiment on my knee in elementary school. It's very drying.
TipJust use it if you really want to control excess oil. I wouldn't really recommend it.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers! First off, the amount you get is absolutely massive. It's so much that you might not even be able to use it all before it expires. It's perfect for sharing with family. I especially have oily areas around my nose, and when I wipe with this toner, I immediately feel the oiliness disappear. However, I don't think I'll be able to use it in winter. One unique feature is the container design - you press a cotton pad on top, and the toner comes out! It's convenient, but one pump isn't enough, and two pumps make it overflow, so controlling the amount is tricky.
ConsI was shocked when I first saw the ingredients, and sure enough... On the first day of use, a few blemishes popped up. I waited for them to subside before trying again, but they came back even bigger. And this is coming from someone who thought they had resilient skin! Those with super sensitive skin should probably avoid this. Also, the scent has an overpowering alcohol smell, which I personally didn't like.
TipI wouldn't recommend using this to control oil. You're better off using a powder instead.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. Initially, the product feels moisturizing, but it becomes quite matte later on. I'd recommend this product for those with oily skin.
ConsHowever, since I don't have extremely oily skin, I experienced some deep dryness after the matte feeling set in. Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but while some people say it's unscented, I detected a slight medicinal scent. I gave it to my sister who has oily skin to try, and she also mentioned feeling some deep dryness. I'd only recommend this for those with very oily skin. Additionally, my sister has more sensitive skin than I do, and she developed some blemishes after using this. I'm not extremely sensitive, so I only got a few small bumps, but I wouldn't recommend it for those with super sensitive skin.
TipThis product seems suitable only for those with very oily skin. I wouldn't recommend it for dry, combination, or oily-combination skin types. However, it might work well for extremely oily skin if you don't have super sensitive skin. Oh, and if you have a sensitive nose, you might notice a slight medicinal smell. It's better to use a small amount and spread it thinly rather than applying it thickly.

Pore refinement, sebum control, and dead skin cell removal As it removes sebum and dead skin cells, I noticed my pores becoming more refined and my skin smoother. This aspect was particularly impressive. I especially saw its effectiveness on the nose area. I'd love to share photos, but I'm too shy to post them! 2. Hygienic I appreciate that it's easy to use and maintain hygienically, as you pump the product onto a cotton pad. 3. Large size I plan to continue using this product after testing, and the large size makes it even more appealing.
Cons1. Ingredients and scent The ingredients are the main drawback. With the current weather making skin more sensitive, I think the product's ingredients might have had an impact too. When I wiped away sebum with a cotton pad, my skin became slightly reddish. Also, these types of pore products usually have a slight alcohol scent. It might be fine if you're using just a small amount on specific areas, but I think this aspect could vary from person to person.
TipThis product is designed for very oily skin, so it should work well for those with oily skin types. I have combination skin, so I only used it on specific areas. Before using this product, I recommend softening the sebum first. I noticed the effectiveness decreased significantly when used just for wiping without this pre-step. Also, when my skin becomes super sensitive, I switch to gentler skincare products. It's best to regularly check your skin's condition and adjust your skincare accordingly.

First-time applicant and I'm already a winner - what a score! Let me tell you about my skin: I have combination dehydrated skin. So I'm doing everything a person with oily skin can do... sigh. I've got visible pores and thick skin. No acne, but yes to excess sebum, blackheads, and a couple of blemishes during that time of the month. The good points: ✔️ Skin texture improvement (best effect) The top benefit is that it removes some of the sebum and impurities left on your face. After double cleansing with oil and foam, when I wipe with this toner on a cotton pad, it turns gray! It's great for those with excessive oil production! The best way to use this toner is for those who don't wash their face in the morning before makeup... or those who sit right at their vanity without time to cleanse... it's absolutely brilliant as a face wash substitute! (I've used it this way occasionally and found it super convenient and effective) ✔️ Face feels cool even in the heatwave (though temporary) I have to admit, it's refreshing ✔️ Doesn't cause blemishes I don't usually get blemishes from changing products anyway, but I think it's unlikely to irritate normal skin types. Check the ingredients before buying! Personally, while ingredients are important, I believe a product's function and effectiveness are equally crucial, so I didn't pay much attention to that. ✔️ Large size + pump bottle Great for generous application The pump makes it convenient for busy mornings!
Cons❗️Dry skin folks, what are you doing here? Go back now, why are you reading this? It's a waste of time... check out other reviews, this isn't for you~ ❗️The morning after drinking, when I first tried it, the scent was so similar to soju that I almost ran back to the toilet! If you dislike alcohol scents, pass on this~ ❗️Absolutely not recommended for sensitive skin I think it's irritating for sensitive skin, possibly due to the alcohol content Anyway, people with sensitive skin probably aren't reading this review! ❗️If anyone's thinking 'Maybe using this will reduce oil production in the afternoon?', you're mistaken It doesn't have that function However, it does effectively control the oil currently on your face~
TipFor those who like to apply makeup without washing their face... For those seeking convenience, not because you're lazy but because you want to cleanse and prep in one step Use this! Dry skin folks... surely you're not still reading this? Right?

I've been using this product twice daily, morning and evening, for about 13 days. First off, I'm really impressed with the quantity! Personally, I think 500ml for 15,000 won is quite cost-effective. When I first received this product, I was a bit worried it might be too drying since it's labeled for very oily skin. However, perhaps because it's summer, I found it to be refreshing with a nice finish.
ConsWhile I didn't experience any blemishes, I was surprised when I looked at the ingredients list. There are quite a few potential allergens and ingredients to be cautious about. Also, it can cause some eye irritation. The fragrance is a bit artificial as well. If you keep these points in mind, it seems like a decent product that's easy to use.
