This year, I've been feeling particularly dry! This review is based on 10 days of continuous use! The best part was feeling hydrated without any deep dryness, which I really liked! The texture is what people often call a 'runny' consistency. It's not too thin, nor is it too sticky - just the right texture that's easy to apply. I also liked that it doesn't seem like you'd use it up too quickly.
ConsInitially, I had some blemishes after using this product and considered stopping mid-way, but as a Hwahae Tester, I decided to continue. While it didn't get worse, it seems my skin didn't agree with it, so I probably won't use it again. Also, I'm personally sensitive to scents, and this one smelled like the rose-scented shower cologne often found in public bathhouses. For me, the fragrance was too strong. Although it didn't linger for too long, I found this aspect quite disappointing!

When patted into the skin, it absorbs nicely, leaving a hydrated feeling. It feels like a combination of toner and essence, so this one product might be enough on its own. Surprisingly, even after replacing my usual toner and serum with just this Low Source product, I experienced less deep dryness.
Cons[ Scent, ingredients, and heavy bottle ] Firstly, the fragrance reminds me of the strong skin emulsion my mom used when I was young. Also, the ingredients are not as good as expected... I have sensitive skin, and while it's usually fine, when my skin is in poor condition, I experienced a burning sensation and slight redness upon application. I wouldn't recommend this for those with super sensitive skin! Also, it comes in a heavy glass bottle that you need to pour from.
TipPersonally, I found that patting it in with my hands worked best for absorption. It might also work well as a mask. Regarding the skin photos, the first is from day one, and the second is from yesterday. On the first day, my skin wasn't in good condition, and I felt some burning and redness. Yesterday, it felt fine when applying, and comparing the two photos, I think my skin has improved slightly. If the ingredients were just a bit better, I'd consider continuing to use it after finishing this bottle from The Hwahae Testers, but it's a shame...

Absorbs well: It glides on smoothly without being too runny. Absorption: You can feel the product sinking deep into your skin. Moisturizing power: It provides deep, lasting hydration from within, not just temporary surface moisture. Even after hours, my skin didn't feel dry.
ConsThe scent is quite strong and might be polarizing. It's similar to men's aftershave, so those sensitive to fragrances should avoid it. It has a somewhat intense herbal aroma. The price isn't particularly cheap. I wish they could reduce costs by simplifying packaging or eliminating cloth wrapping to lower the product's base price.
TipFor all-day hydrated makeup, simply apply to a cotton pad and gently press onto your skin before your morning makeup routine!

The wooden-textured cap was another nice touch. These initial impressions definitely scored points! When I received the product, my skin wasn't at its best, so I started by testing it on the back of my hand for a few days before moving to my face. I smoothed it over my hand, letting it absorb fully. Even with just one application, it left my skin feeling hydrated and seemed to cool any inflammation. With repeated use, I could feel the hydration building up, and the moisturizing effect was undeniable. I'd say the amount you get is pretty decent too.
ConsThe fragrance is identical to that old-school shower cologne my mom used to wear... It's somewhat artificial and quite strong - more suited for body products than facial care. I'm not usually sensitive to scents, but this one was a bit disappointing. When I tested it on my face - and I should mention I have dry and super sensitive skin - I encountered some issues. I'm extremely particular about my skincare routine, so I swapped out my usual houttuynia cordata toner for this one. Unfortunately, I noticed small bumps appearing on my skin. I only changed the toner, keeping all other essences and creams the same, so I suspect the ingredients just didn't agree with my skin.

Cons- Scent: Reminds of public bathhouse toner smell - Packaging: Somewhat heavy

ConsIt feels slightly slippery, as if it's coating the skin Takes a bit of time to absorb The strong cosmetic fragrance might be polarizing While the glass packaging is pretty, it's quite heavy
TipSoak a cotton pad and gently wipe your face, or Use it as a skin pack before makeup by applying it with a cotton pad for hydration

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.ProsThis product has a water-like texture but with a slight viscosity when applied. I've been using hyaluronic acid-based toners recently for hydration, and this one provides that same moisturizing feeling as the runny hyaluronic acid products. As someone with dry skin, I usually layer watery toners 3 times, but that can make my skin feel sticky and uncomfortable in summer. With this product, I don't get that heavy feeling even with multiple layers. Also, when my skin is sensitive, some toners can sting, but this one doesn't, which is great. Looking at the packaging, many watery toners tend to spill easily, so I often use a cotton pad to apply them. However, this product's opening is designed to dispense drops, making it easy to pour into your hand. I'd especially recommend this for slightly acne-prone skin, sensitive skin with heat sensitivity, or oily skin types. As a bonus, the packaging is really beautiful. While I don't often gift skincare, this would make a lovely present. It looks elegant on the vanity too, though I should note that this aspect likely contributes to the product's price.
ConsThe fragrance is quite strong. It reminds me of the cosmetics scent from my mother's vanity, which surprised me at first. It brings to mind those pink glass bottles with red seashell-like caps, like rose shower cologne. Also, it might be a bit drying for those with dry skin. While it does effectively reduce heat sensitivity, it can leave the skin feeling dry afterwards.
TipAlthough it's moisturizing, for dry skin types, it might feel a bit dehydrating without a serum. For the current season, a routine of toner-serum-light cream or emulsion (that's not too oily) should work well.

When I use it as a three-skin method at night, my skin feels restored and deeply hydrated. The next day, my makeup goes on smoothly and my skin feels silky soft. While it might be a bit rich now, I think it'll be perfect when autumn comes around.
ConsThe scent reminds me of my mom's old-school toner, or even hair essence. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, but I suspect that's partly why it's so pricey. It makes me hesitant to commit to buying it regularly.
TipI've heard it's better to layer multiple serums rather than using a heavy cream in summer, so I apply this in the three-skin method.

ConsAs a Hwahae Tester, I was excited to try this, but the fragrance is overwhelmingly strong. It's reminiscent of men's skincare scents. While the fragrance itself isn't bad, it's too intense for a face product. Applying it all over made my nose hurt. I tried to persevere, but it was just too much to handle.
TipSince the scent was too strong for direct use, I've been incorporating it into modeling masks or grain packs instead of water. It provides much more hydration than water, and the fragrance is significantly muted, which I prefer.

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 a review from The Hwahae Testers! This product feels incredibly hydrating, with a fluid texture similar to Dokdo Skin - it's like a soft, watery essence. It's slightly thicker than a typical toner, giving it a more moisturizing feel. It seems to suit my skin well due to its gentle nature! You can think of it as somewhere between a toner and an essence. It would be perfect as a toner replacement in winter, helping you maintain hydrated skin throughout the season.
ConsWhile everything else is great, the scent might be a bit divisive. It's mild, but there's a hint of that old-school essence or toner fragrance. It actually took me on a little trip down memory lane!
