The ingredients are gentle and green, and the savory grain-like fragrance is pleasant.
ConsOverall, I'm satisfied with the product itself. However, the cap of the container is a bit disappointing. When closing it, the contents tend to leak out.
TipThis skin is great for light application during the summer, but adding a cream as well would be beneficial during the transitional seasons.

After applying the toner, I could really feel the moisturizing effect, making it comfortable to use even in this weather.
ConsI don't really have any major complaints. I think I'll need to use it more consistently to fully evaluate it.
TipWiping it off with a cotton pad after application helps remove any remaining fine impurities left after cleansing, which seems quite beneficial.

This product, however, maintains a moisturized feel even after some time. My combination skin used to have an oily T-zone but very dry cheeks, with flaky skin even in the summer, but using this product has made my skin supple and eliminated the flakiness. - I naturally have fair skin, but my complexion used to look dull by the afternoon. This product seems to help maintain a bright, glowing appearance. It's also great that it's fragrance-free.
ConsI've been using this product for over a week and haven't found any downsides.
TipTo maximize the moisturizing benefits, I recommend thoroughly soaking the cotton pad and applying the product. After that, you can also gently pat some of the product directly onto your skin for an extra boost of hydration.

ConsThere's not much bad to say It doesn't sting my eyes at all It must be made with gentle ingredients?? It seems pretty good
TipYou can use a cotton pad to remove dead skin, but I just apply it directly to my hands and let it absorb That seems better to me, as using a cotton pad feels like it absorbs a lot of the product For exfoliating, it's better to use a separate product for that

But this product has a pump dispenser, so the small opening prevents air exposure, allowing me to use it more hygienically. The pump also dispenses the same amount each time, so I could apply a consistent quantity, which I appreciated.
ConsI would not recommend this toner to those with dry skin like mine. Compared to other toners, the hydration level of this product is relatively weak, so I had to add extra hydrating steps to my routine, which felt like more trouble than it was worth. I didn't try using this as a sheet mask, as I didn't expect it to provide strong enough hydration (though it may work fine for a brightening sheet mask). And since it has a film-forming ingredient, layering it with other products for extra moisture didn't seem advisable, as it could potentially clog pores for acne-prone or heavily textured dry skin types. (✔️Added 11.5) I just tried using this with a cotton pad as a mask, and my cheeks felt uncomfortable and irritated. Even after removing the cotton, my skin remained red and sensitive. I have relatively non-sensitive skin, so the alcohol content in this may not work well for a cotton mask. I would only recommend this to those specifically looking for a brightening function in their toner. The bottle design is quite nice, and it feels like a premium product, but the price of 27,000 won is on the higher end, especially when there are many affordable, gentle acid toners available at drugstores. Unless this is targeting acne-prone skin or focused on hydration, I'm not sure the price is justified, as I didn't experience any dramatic brightening effects.
TipI plan to use this product frequently, like spraying a facial mist whenever my skin feels dry, in order to transition to a different product quickly. ✔️Added 11.14: After continued use, I found that this toner works best for me as a second cleansing step. After washing my face, without toweling dry, I'll pump the toner 6-10 times onto a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face, including my hairline and ears. The cotton pad picks up leftover dirt and oil, and since I don't rinse it off, the film-forming ingredient helps lock in moisture, leaving my skin feeling incredibly hydrated. ✔️Conclusion: 1. Cleanse face 2. Without toweling, apply this toner generously on a cotton pad (I use the 5-ply Innisfree pads) and wipe all over face, continuing to use fresh sections of the pad until no more residue comes up. 3. Follow with your usual routine of booster toner, essence, oil, ampoule, lotion, cream, and sunscreen. This product seems to work very differently depending on how you use it. With this method, it's been working amazingly for me, so I'm upgrading my rating from 3 stars to 4. The key is using it as a second cleansing step without rinsing.

My skin condition is combination, with a few small pimples and occasional seborrheic dermatitis that flares up during seasonal changes, making it quite sensitive. In this short time, I haven't yet noticed effects on brightening or evening out my skin tone. However, after using it, my skin felt moisturized and not tight. I just patted the product directly onto my face after cleansing, without using a cotton pad, and let it absorb along with water. Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any redness or irritation after applying it. But fermented ingredients can cause a sudden flare-up for some people, so it's best to do a patch test first before regular use. It's not too light or heavy, so it's easy to use. I could layer it 2-3 times in the morning without it pilling under makeup. The absorption also seemed quick and effective.
ConsContrary to its appearance, the pump feels a bit cheap and low-quality.
TipApplying it directly to my face instead of using a cotton pad made my skin feel even more moisturized!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 is the Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review: :) I have sensitive and dry skin, so I first tried the recommended method of wiping it with cotton. At that time, it was really soft and smooth, and the skin texture was well-refined and moisturized, making it great to use in the winter. In the winter, using just a watery toner can feel a bit drying and like the moisture is being stripped away, but this product gently cleansed while providing a sense of moisture replenishment.
ConsHowever, the more I used this, the more my skin became problematic.. On the first day, a couple of large blemishes appeared, and I thought maybe I was just tired, but the more I used it, the more my nose, chin, and forehead went crazy.. Just in case, my sister and I both tried it, but both of our skin became problematic, so we both had to stop using it. ㅠㅠ There was something inconvenient about the cotton-soaked application method. Since it's a liquid type, pumping it onto the cotton was difficult to distribute evenly for me. The packaging was very convenient for applying with the hands, but when I applied it, it didn't immediately absorb, and it took a long time to be fully absorbed.
TipIf it suits your skin, this seems like a really good product to use in the winter as a toner. When I first used it, I wiped it off with cotton right away, and my cheeks felt so soft and moisturized at first, but it just doesn't work for my skin. ㅠㅠ The cotton is really perfect with a soft, gentle cotton rather than a rough one - it can gently refine the skin texture and provide a nourishing, caring feel.

My previous skincare was drying after application, but this one was fine even with just the application. I'm the kind of person who finds it annoying to wash and apply things, so I usually just use a toner, but there are times when I end up looking for a cream too. However, I really liked this product!!! -My skin troubles have decreased after using the product! A few days after using this product, the bumps on my skin disappeared when I washed my face!! Those bumps had been there for a long time, but suddenly they were gone! However, the tiny little bumps are still there 😂😂😂 -As I mentioned earlier, I usually just use a toner before bed, so I liked the non-watery texture of this product. -I personally liked that it was a pump product.
Cons-To see the whitening effects of a product, you'd probably need to use it for more than half a bottle, right? I'm not sure since I haven't used it for long. -I didn't have any other complaints.

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.ProsI've used this product for a week and here's my review. I have a sensitive skin that is prone to developing inflammatory acne even with the slightest carelessness. As the weather got colder, I was looking for a product that could replenish my parched skin, and that's how I came across this toner. I'm glad that it helps balance the pH level of my skin. For a week, I only used this toner without any other products, and I didn't experience any breakouts. I personally found the usage experience quite pleasant. My skin feels comfortable! I'm willing to continue using this product consistently, as long as the price is reasonable. And even when my skin gets irritated from the heater, causing redness and oiliness, my skin seems to be more resilient than before. But to be honest, I can't say for sure since we're not in the peak of winter yet.
ConsTo be honest, it's a bit too early to assess the improvement in my skin condition after using this product for a short period. I don't have any major complaints about it either. Overall, this seems to be a fairly basic and unproblematic toner. However, when I apply it with a cotton pad, I tend to use it up rather quickly.

First of all, I really like the packaging! It reminds me of rice water, haha. It has a separate lid and is a pumping type. Compared to the skin I was using before, I felt like there was much less tightness. Since I think skin toner is the final step of cleansing, I wipe it on once, then gently pat it in all over to absorb it. As someone with very dry, dehydrated skin, if I don't apply a cream right away after washing, I feel like I'll go crazy, haha. But with this product, I didn't feel the urge to rush and apply a cream right away. I was able to take my time and do some light vanity organizing while it absorbed. The moisturizing effect lasts a long time, so the absorption is a bit slower.
ConsI think I need to use the whitening product more consistently. The uneven skin tone on my cheeks has improved a bit, but it's hard to tell if it's just my imagination, haha. I'm not sure about the definite effects yet, as I've only been using it for a little over a week.
TipIf you soak a cotton pad with this and lay it on dry areas, it feels so refreshing and moisturizing. I do this on areas where I'm concerned about freckles, too, haha. And if you do a final cleanse with a mesh puff and the leftover rice water from rinsing rice 2-3 times, and then use this toner, you'll feel like the effects are maximized, haha.
