It's gentle yet provides an amazingly moisturizing sensation that I really enjoyed.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the price is slightly higher compared to other brand products.

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 ingredients are excellent, the quantity is generous, and the texture is slightly runny, which prevents it from dripping too quickly - I love that! The hydration seems pretty good too. I'm also satisfied that the scent isn't irritating or overpowering.
ConsAfter application, it feels a bit sticky, you know? The finish leaves something to be desired... As the moisture dries, it feels somewhat dry, if that makes sense? It gives me a slight sensation of tightness on my face.
TipI use an emulsion right after it's absorbed to some extent

I was amazed at how quickly it absorbed into my skin. The hydration level right after application wasn't bad at all.
ConsFor combination dehydrated skin, it might be too drying if used alone over time, so I'd recommend using it with another cream.

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 my review as one of The Hwahae Testers: 1. Texture It's not a watery formula, but has a viscous texture. I used it more for absorption rather than as an exfoliating toner. Due to its consistency, even one application left my skin feeling instantly hydrated! 2. Scent When I heard 'Black Rice', I wondered if it would have a wholesome scent. But honestly, it's so close to fragrance-free that I didn't even think about the smell while applying! I might not be the best judge due to my allergies, but the scent was very neutral. 3. Moisturizing power As I mentioned about the texture, just one layer leaves your skin feeling plump and hydrated! So instead of using this as my main toner, I layered a lighter, water-based toner multiple times, then used this Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner on a cotton pad as a skin pack. This routine made my makeup apply smoothly and stay hydrated the next day. 4. Volume I used it quite liberally for my skin pack routine, at least once a week. Even so, the bottle seemed never-ending! There's plenty of product, so you can use it generously without worrying about running out.
Cons1. The viscous texture felt a bit heavy when applied alone. It seems more suitable for winter rather than summer! Apart from this, I didn't have any other complaints. I still have quite a bit left, so I'm planning to save it for winter use.

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.ProsMy skin is sensitive and combination-oily in summer. Absorption: This toner isn't watery, but has a slightly thick, mucus-like texture. Because of this, it feels very hydrating and a bit sticky when applied, so I had to pat it in well before applying emulsion. While I felt the absorption was a bit slow, my skin never felt tight after using this product! That means it's providing good hydration, right? Texture: I've always used watery toners for the 7-skin method, so not doing that made me feel uneasy and like my skin texture wasn't properly refined. So I used this product twice - once with the 7-skin method and once normally. I felt this product wasn't really suitable for the 7-skin method. Personally, I think this toner is more suitable for hydrating and calming the skin rather than refining skin texture. Moisturizing power and effects: Due to its sticky texture, it had good moisturizing power. Because of this, I thought it might be more suitable for winter rather than as a standalone product in summer! After using this product, did I imagine that my skin looked brighter!? Haha! My skin seemed to have improved overall.
ConsScent: While I'm familiar with the scent and didn't mind it much, it's quite strong. Those who are sensitive to fragrances might find this toner unsuitable. Price: 300ml for $35 seems a bit pricey. If asked whether I'd repurchase, I'd have to think about it. There are many good toners available at more reasonable prices these days... Ingredients: I'm sensitive to blemishes and always check the ingredient analysis on the Hwahae app before buying products. I'm wary of basic skincare products with red flags in the analysis. This product is marked as '2 for sensitive skin, 1 for dry skin', which made me a bit nervous. Fortunately, I didn't experience any negative reactions. If I hadn't won this from The Hwahae Testers, I might have hesitated to choose this toner. Oil and moisture balance: As mentioned, I have combination-oily skin in summer. However, despite this product's excellent hydration, I didn't feel it really addressed my combination-oily skin concerns. I still experienced oiliness and sebum production over time.
TipSince I have combination-oily skin in summer with a lot of sebum on my nose, I use cleansing oil to soften and gently remove the sebum. Then, I soak a cotton pad generously with this toner and use it as a face mask. It really helps calm my skin!

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.Pros***The Hwahae Testers Review*** 1. Texture Despite being a toner, it has a slight viscosity. It's not too thick, but thanks to the hyaluronic acid, it doesn't run, making it easy to apply with your hands. As a low pH toner, it's great for absorbing moisture after using an exfoliating toner and before applying essence. It seems to absorb better than hyaluronic acid ampoules. 2. Large Volume The 300ml size is uncommon, which is great because you can use it generously without worrying about running out. 3. Hydration Synergy As someone with dry skin, I love the moisturizing feel and slight tackiness after application. It's summer, so I'm hesitant to use cream, but this really boosts the hydration effect.
ConsThe price is a bit steep when you look at it. While it contains black rice and bamboo shoot extracts, I can't really tell what specific benefits they provide. With so many affordable hyaluronic acid toners on the market these days, I'm not sure if it's worth buying.
TipUse it as a skin pack by soaking a cotton pad and applying it to cheeks dried out from air conditioning!

It's not overpowering, nor is it unscented. The subtle floral aroma is truly delightful. Texture: It strikes the perfect balance - neither too watery nor too thick or sticky. This results in an ideal consistency when dispensing, avoiding both frustrating slow flow and excessive runniness. Effectiveness: It worked wonders for my skin. The serum absorbs well and even imparts a slight glow. I noticed my complexion becoming remarkably clear and translucent. It also seemed to soothe the redness caused by my blemishes.
ConsPrice: As a Hwahae Tester, I received this product for free. However, for others, the cost might be a bit steep.

It was very helpful! • The product has a watery yet bouncy snot-like texture. I appreciated that it doesn't spill out all at once when dispensing. The packaging allows for controlled dispensing. • Given it's fermented black rice, I thought it might smell like fermented rice, but it has more of a rosemary or lavender scent. (Turns out it's 100% natural lavender oil fragrance!) • When applied with a cotton pad, it felt moisturizing and refreshing on the skin. I also tried applying it directly with my hands. At first, I thought it was too sticky when applied generously, but after a short while, the stickiness completely disappeared! I was really surprised! It seems to take some time to absorb into the skin. Once absorbed, it's not sticky at all and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth! • I was worried about breakouts after reading some reviews, but I didn't experience any. Just the usual small bumps that I always have, showing off on my face... I don't think this product caused any blemishes. It seems to vary from person to person. I use it more at night than in the morning, and when I wake up, my skin texture feels slightly better. It doesn't seem to have much effect on blemish care though. • The hydration is great! Despite its bouncy yet lightweight texture, which I didn't expect much from, I didn't feel dry even when using it alone. I haven't used it long enough to tell if it has any effect on elasticity, but it seems to be a really good product for hydration. • I'd recommend this product to those who love rosemary scent and are looking for a lightweight yet moisturizing toner!
ConsThe scent of the product might be polarizing. While I prefer rosemary or lavender-like scents, some people might dislike it. The fragrance is quite strong rather than subtle. It needs some time to absorb, so it might not be ideal for those who are in a rush to get ready for work or need to apply and go quickly. While it's a great advantage that it's made with fermented black rice extract and good ingredients, I haven't found a compelling reason why one must use this product over others.

The delivery was impeccable, and both the toner packaging and the toner itself are absolutely gorgeous. I might just keep them for display even after I've used it all up! Unlike some other brands, when dispensing this toner, you don't have to worry about too much product coming out at once. I love that it's not as runny as water, but has a slightly thicker consistency. At first, I thought it might take a while to absorb due to its slightly oily feel, but I was pleasantly surprised! It applies moisturizing, finishes fresh, and absorbs incredibly fast! I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but the more I used it, the more I noticed those tiny bumps on my forehead disappearing. And no other blemishes appeared either! I've always had issues with my oily T-zone, but with this product, it took about 6 hours before I started to see any shine. I wasn't expecting much in this department, so I was really impressed! Some people say the volume is small, but I think it's fair. It's not a lot, but it's certainly not too little either. For me, this toner ticks all the boxes - ingredients, texture, and it doesn't cause any blemishes. Even if I only apply this, my skin doesn't get dry or flaky. I think it would work well for oily, dry, and combination skin types. These are all the good points, and I want to emphasize that this is my honest review after using the product. I hope it helps!
ConsPersonally, I think the scent might be a bit divisive. I found it slightly odd, but my sister thought it was fine. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might want to keep this in mind! Other than that, I don't really have any complaints!
