The texture is between a toner and a gel, and I like the scent. Especially in the summer when I don't want a sticky feeling, I just apply this and then lightly use a cream on top.
ConsIt doesn't really sink into the skin. The moisture is okay, but the nourishment is so-so.

The scent is really nice.
ConsThe texture is as dense as an essence, but the moisturizing power is not great. It feels very moist and sticky right after application, but the moisturizing effect doesn't last as long as other toners (toners are not primarily for moisturizing, but even when applied generously, the texture tends to dry out quickly compared to the formula). Occasionally, a slight irritation can be felt (a stinging sensation).

It's a product that provides both moisturizing and hydrating effects all over the face with its emulsion-type formula. I loved it so much.
ConsSince it's an emulsion-type product, I don't recommend it for summer use. (This includes oily or acne-prone skin types)

I was so surprised when I checked the ingredients in the product from the reconciliation - I can't give it a high rating.. When I was abroad, I would occasionally use The Body Shop products as my skin care ran out quickly. I went there and the staff recommended a product, saying it would be good for my dry skin, so I bought it. Before that, I would occasionally use the tea tree and youth lines. Although I don't use it now, the Kiehl's Calendula Skin-Calming line was a great fit for my sensitive skin for a long time - the formulation and appearance are similar. It has a thick, mucus-like texture with leaf-like particles inside. I would use it both as a wash and a toner, but mainly as a toner. The scent is straight-up rose, and while I don't usually like floral scents, this one has a comforting, herbal quality that I liked the most. It's a bit sticky, but if you pat it in gently, it absorbs well. In the dry winter, it provided satisfactory moisture.
ConsHowever, when my skin is sensitive, I find it to be a bit irritating. While the surface feels moisturized, I don't get the sense that it's deeply penetrating. After switching to using it mainly as a toner, I sometimes use it as an essence substitute, but the ingredients are... oh dear, really... ㅜㅜ
TipI used it as an essence substitute. There are times when even essences can be irritating for me, so in those cases I'll just do a light routine of toner, this skin product, and then finish with a cream.

ConsIt's a toner, but it's gel-like, so the absorption is slow, so I apply it with a cotton pad and pat it in.

ConsThere was a feeling of heat after application and a sense of suffocation as if my skin couldn't breathe.. Personally, I think there are many similar priced products with better ingredients, so I don't recommend this one..

It's incredibly moisturizing, almost like an essence, and the rose scent is not just average, but a sophisticated, high-quality rose fragrance that I really enjoy.
ConsOn days when I've exfoliated or my skin is a bit sensitive, it can feel a bit irritating, so I need to be cautious with it.
TipIt's so moisturizing that it's like a watery skin toner, so if you gently pat it in after application, the hydrating effect lasts for a long time.

Moisturizing This toner has a viscous formula. You can think of it as having an essence-like texture. While the absorption is slower due to this formula, the moisturizing effect is excellent. 2. Subtle rose scent The rose scent lifts my mood. It's not an artificial rose fragrance, so it's less off-putting. Applying it makes me feel calm and relaxed. 3. Long-lasting Since the absorption is not very fast, I don't end up using a large amount at once. This makes it more economical compared to watery toners. 4. Works great mixed with powder packs This toner pairs the best with the Innisfree green tea powder pack. Mixing them together made the pack feel more moisturizing than using water toners. It helped make the green tea powder pack more hydrating. 5. Lovely toner color and design The toner color looks luxurious, and I bought it because it was a limited edition. I think it's now a permanent product, but the product design was also a factor in my purchase.
Cons1. Ingredients :( When I bought this, I couldn't find it on Hwahae. So I just bought it, but the ingredients are not that great for a basic skincare product. I wish I had known that beforehand. 2. Slow absorption Due to the thick, viscous formula, the absorption is quite slow. I don't use it in the mornings at all, only in the evenings. It takes some time to get it absorbed in the mornings. 3. Not sure if the flakes dissolve There are some flower petal-like flakes in the toner. It's said they dissolve when applied, but I'm not sure if that's the case. 4. Not very affordable Considering the mediocre ingredients, the price is not that affordable. At this price point, I'd rather get the Body Shop aloe toner.
TipThis toner worked the best when I mixed it with the Innisfree green tea powder pack.
