It looks like it might be irritating to use daily. It looks like it might be irritating to use daily.

It's nice to exfoliate. They said Baha is good for removing dead skin, and when I wiped it on with a cotton pad, I felt like it was removing the dead skin.

파하 필링 토너

However, the downside is that I have to wipe it off with a cotton pad, so I need a cotton pad. And due to the alcohol ingredient, I experienced a slight irritation.

I have sensitive skin with rosacea. I'm particularly vulnerable to oils, heavy oil textures, strong vitamins, and alcohol ingredients. Enlarged pores are my biggest concern. When I apply sunscreen, I develop allergies, so I'm looking for a sunscreen that doesn't cause allergies.
It's convenient to use because it can be applied like a skin toner.

Recommended for sensitive skin! For normal skin, it's similar to a water-based toner.

Gentle stimulation! My skin is not very sensitive to touch, but sometimes contact dermatitis occurs. However, there was no irritation. There was no irritation, and since it is a peeling toner, I didn't use it every day, but used it every other day, and it seems to be a decent product.

The performance is a bit lacking when used alone. However, it seems good for light daily pore and dead skin cell refining. It's best to focus on daily use.

As far as I know, this ingredient is said to be a 3rd generation exfoliating component, whether it's a combination of apha and beta hydroxy acids. Anyway, since they've been combined, it seems the ingredient has managed to complement each other's weaknesses and capitalize on the strengths. That's why, compared to previous generation exfoliating ingredients like AHA and BHA, it's gentler but may not be as effective in exfoliating, based on the many opinions I've seen. So I tried using the Hwahae Trial Reviewer powder together with a compressed cotton pad, and this combination worked quite well.

I haven't used it yet, so I don't have any comments. I'll have to use it more to see.

Bahana seems to be less irritating than Ahaboda in removing dead skin cells, which I think is good. I also like that it comes in a pump bottle!

Why do I have to use it when I don't have it? I don't have it yet T_T

This is also great to use as a scrub once every 2-3 weeks ^^

None; it seeps out like water, so press it gently with a cotton pad~

I felt the effect was negligible compared to the price. It's not even a large amount. In fact, I didn't feel any effect at all, so I don't know what to write.
The milia are still there, and the dead skin hasn't really gone away either. It needs to be a bit stronger to get rid of them, as gentle application doesn't seem to do much.
It's damp, but I'm not really sure what to make of it.

To be honest, I'm not sure what's good about it. 
While using it, I didn't really feel like anything improved significantly.

The spray is inconvenient. It would be better if the container was a different type.

I bought it to use on parts with a lot of sebum. I've been using it once every 2-3 days because I was told it could be irritating if used frequently, and while I haven't noticed a big effect, I'm hoping that using it consistently will eventually yield results.

The pump needs to be changed. It doesn't press down easily and comes out in spurts.

But as gentle as it is, there is no peeling effect at all. I was using the Badecasil cream before and was satisfied with it, so I bought this toner to replace it, but it just feels like a regular toner. It says to use it 2 times a week, but I think I could use it daily.

It is very gentle. It's not completely sensitive, but I do get some small bumps, however, there is no irritation or stinging when using this product.

For those not feeling much effect, I recommend gently patting it on with your hands. Your skin will be smooth the next day!
And if you pump out the product and slowly press down lightly, it splatters less.

As others have mentioned, if you press down hard, it spurts out and splatters everywhere. It's really inconvenient having to clean up the surrounding area with tissues. I keep meaning to transfer it to another container, but my laziness prevents me from actually doing it every time.

Even though my skin recovers after being turned over, the sensitivity doesn't go away easily. I have a neutral sensitive skin type. I don't have much peeling, and since I'm sensitive, I can't use cotton pads and am using a mineral sunscreen.
In fact, it's fine to use cotton pads, but since my skin barrier is broken and turned over, I don't know when it might turn over again, so I've only used them a few times when testing. I wiped gently and there was no noticeable effect. It may be because I don't have much peeling. (I didn't have any peeling at all even when using a Mixsun bean essence for exfoliation.)
And when I use a mineral sunscreen, there's a bumpy, rough texture on my chin and cheek areas, but there's nothing visible to the naked eye. That didn't go away even with cleansing oil, foam, or exfoliation. Since I don't have much peeling and I'm lazy, I just applied it with my hands, and the next day the bumpy texture was gone. 
When I touch it, it's smooth. I really like this product just by itself! My laziness has unexpectedly turned into a lucky find.
There's nothing growing on my face, and it actually doesn't break out easily. Since my skin is sensitive, even just wearing makeup can cause pimples to appear. But after using this skin, pimples don't appear as easily. I thought it was only for people with a lot of peeling, but it works fine for those of us without much peeling too.
I like trying different cosmetics, so I have various toners, but lately I've only been using this product.
I have The Lab by Blanc Deu, Tory Dean, Laneige, and Carelnology, but this product gives me the smoothest skin.
I exfoliate once every 4 weeks (they say not to exfoliate too often for sensitive skin. It's better not to exfoliate at all, as the skin can exfoliate on its own.) But it seems I don't even need to do that, and can just use this product alone.

Of course, for those of you who exfoliate well with toners and have resilient skin, this would be an amazing product!

Personally, I wish there was a Pha cleansing foam...

In conclusion, I find cleansing products more comfortable and less irritating than toner-type exfoliating products. To be precise, cleansing products are easier to use and less of a hassle.

Even if toner-type products are non-irritating, they still get absorbed into the skin, and no matter how much you space out the usage or how good your skin is that day, it can just flip over... So I cleanse with the toner and then do a water rinse again shortly after... That ends up being two cleansing steps... That's why I don't really feel like doing it. It's a hassle... Plus, I tend to get easily reddened and sensitive when I cleanse, so I don't do it often. I only do it on days when my exfoliation is really bad. But layering this product multiple times to absorb it is too irritating, and since it's a functional product, it's not hydrating enough either. I'm too scared to even attempt a skin pack with the Pha toner...

I used the Pha toner for 2 weeks, stopping the Bha cleansing foam, and it still ended up irritating my skin.

☆Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review~~
Precisely 3.5 points

I've been using foam cleansers like Aha and Bha for exfoliating and sebum removal all this time. Foam cleansers are less irritating since you rinse them off at the end. Of course, I've also tried Aha and Bha toners and essences, but if you don't use them carefully, considering the amount, frequency, and your skin condition that day, your skin can just collapse, so I didn't prefer them. It's easier to lose than to gain, I should say...

This is my first time using Pha, and it does seem gentler than Aha and Bha.
I've been using it for about 2 weeks, cleansing with it 3-4 times a week in the evenings, and my skin texture and bumps have improved.
It has adequate moisture and isn't heavy either.

But if you ask me if I'd repurchase it... I'm not sure....
The product itself is good. It's not bad, but the exfoliation and sebum management method I was already using seems to be less burdensome for my skin.
