Good, but it feels a bit too strong.
ConsIt's so strong that it feels somewhat irritating to my skin.

When I apply it, it really feels like it's drying up the excess sebum. I honestly can't recommend this enough for those with oily skin!
ConsUnless you have truly oily skin, this can be extremely drying. Use with caution. It contains alcohol, which can be irritating to the skin.

It has absolutely no oiliness and absorbs instantly upon application. If you enjoy that distinctive cooling sensation, I highly recommend this. Although it's called an emulsion, it's really more of a toner! The exfoliating toner, in particular, is quite effective.
ConsAlcohol... there's just too much alcohol in it. Since my skin doesn't agree with alcohol, as soon as I applied it, my face turned bright red as if I'd been drinking. It might be too harsh for those with sensitive skin. Make sure to patch test first!
TipAccording to my dad, it feels refreshing when you soak a cotton pad with this and wipe your face after shaving! This could be a great tip to recommend to your boyfriend, dad, or brother if they're around.

While you might not notice significant results after just one or two uses, with continued use, this product definitely regulates oil production. Usually in summer, I become an oil tycoon with excessive sebum, so I tried this hoping it would be worth the money. At first, it didn't seem effective and pilled badly with other products, making me think I'd wasted my money. But once I figured out how to use it properly, I noticed a real difference in my usual summer oil production. If you have oily skin, start using this ASAP to manage your pores and prevent them from stretching! I wish I'd known about it when I was younger... I used to wake up with so much oil on my face that I had to cleanse every morning, but now my sebum has reduced so much that a simple water rinse is often enough. - It's effective for blemishes. I used to get small, bumpy pimples once a month, but when I wash my face thoroughly and use this product diligently during those times, they disappear without any issues.
Cons- It contains alcohol. While I'm not incompatible with alcohol, I don't prefer it. After using only alcohol-free products for a while, this one felt so strong it was like applying liquor to my face. You might experience some eye stinging, but now that I've seen the results, I've come to appreciate even the burning sensation as refreshing... - It doesn't play well with other products. The sales assistant warned me that due to its high alcohol content, it might pill when layered with other products, and they were right... Other reviews say the same. However, once you master how to use it, it becomes a treasure!!
Tip- If you're tired of being deceived by sebum control cosmetics and want a product that finally shows results, I recommend this. - Let me share how I overcame the pilling issue. After washing my face, I put an appropriate amount of this product on a cotton pad and thoroughly wipe my face. Don't throw away the used cotton pad immediately; peel off a clean layer (you need to use multi-layered cotton pads). Apply a regular, alcohol-free toner to the clean part and wipe your face again. You can do this multiple times, like the 7-skin method. It's okay if it's not 100% absorbed at each step. The goal is to gradually mix this product with another toner to avoid pilling. However, make sure everything is fully absorbed before applying cream. I follow up with a very light gel cream - Innisfree Artichoke Layering Cream Intensive. Despite its name, it's not intense at all, but it gives a comfortable feeling to the pores rather than a heavy film-like finish. After letting it absorb completely, I apply a gel-type sunscreen, patting it on thinly along the skin texture instead of rubbing it in thickly to prevent pilling. I use the Biore sunscreen in the blue bottle. Following this method, even in midsummer, you can maintain a balanced oil level instead of being an oil tycoon!

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.ProsThe cooling effect was amazing! The oil control was truly impressive. That's it!
ConsLet's start with the positives - there's a cooling effect, but to be honest, it's too stinging and even a bit painful. While the coolness seemed to calm redness initially, the stinging sensation made my skin flush again. After application, the unique formula dries and disappears, leaving behind that signature alcohol feel of Kiehl's products. Is this typical of American cosmetics? Personally, while intriguing, I found it too harsh and don't think it's good for the skin - not a fan. Due to this unusual texture, it's awkward to apply sunscreen over it during the day. At night, it leaves my skin feeling tight, requiring extra hydration, which is counterproductive. In conclusion, this ended up being a product I rarely reached for.
TipI'd only recommend this for extremely oily skin types (those with excess oil, not lack of hydration) who aren't sensitive and have thick, resilient skin. For everyone else, it's probably not worth trying.

It's an absolute holy grail product!
ConsThe downside is that it's a bit too drying. Also, the alcohol scent seems to cause some irritation.
TipHere's a tip: if you apply this toner and then wipe with another toner, your makeup is less likely to come off.

I've continued using it even as an adult. Unfortunately, I can't find it at duty-free shops these days, so I can't buy it anymore. It really gives your skin that intense 'Hwahae' glow.
ConsUgh, I just realized it's full of harmful ingredients. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have used it... Now I understand why it gave such a strong 'Hwahae' effect!

I'll definitely switch to this toner in summer! For my oily skin, it's truly... a godsend. It gives a feeling of purifying the skin, which is amazing. The toner itself is... just fantastic!
ConsAt first, I thought it was just another toner and used it like my usual Calendula toner as an exfoliating toner, even wiping my eye area. I was shocked when my eyes started stinging! Haha! Just a heads up... it can be a bit irritating to the eyes.

It really feels like it wipes away all the excess oil and leaves your skin feeling refreshingly cool.
ConsIf you don't moisturize after using this, it can be quite irritating. It seems a bit too strong. Often, when applying other products afterwards, they don't absorb well, so you need to be careful about product combinations.
TipIt's always best to use this with a cotton pad when applying.

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.ProsTo be honest, I can't really think of anything positive to say. I used it as an all-over skin treatment, but as soon as I applied it, my skin felt like it was on fire and became extremely dry in no time.
ConsWhile using this product, I thought it would be disastrous for anyone who isn't extremely oily. The sensation when you apply it is quite unique. You know that intense cooling feeling in your throat when you drink cold water after eating a mint? Imagine that sensation all over your face! After that, my skin became so dry that I could feel every single wrinkle, as if my smile lines were more pronounced and the skin around my eyes was tightening. The dryness became so severe that I couldn't even finish the product and had to switch to something else. I'm prone to blemishes rather than acne, and my unpredictable combination skin can either look great or terribly oily the next morning depending on which cream I use. But with this one, it's clear it doesn't suit me at all. If you have combination skin that's in-between, steer clear of this product!
TipBased on what I've seen from other Hwahae users, I might try using the leftover product as a spot treatment on blemishes by applying it with a cotton pad for a soothing effect.
