What I really appreciated is that unlike toners that need multiple layers, just one application of this keeps your skin feeling hydrated for quite a while!
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing. It has a medicinal, herbal fragrance which normally wouldn't bother me much, but surprisingly, it lingers longer than expected. If you enjoy this type of scent, you might be fine with it, but I found it challenging. Also, it doesn't have a light application feel, so some might find it a bit heavy on the skin, and it takes some time to absorb completely!

After using it, I was thrilled to see the blemishes subside within days! I really felt the powerful soothing effect. # Hydration This product feels like a combination of toner and essence, so the hydration is excellent! I have dry skin, but on days I used this, I didn't feel dry at all. Instead, it felt like my skin was fully replenished with moisture, which was amazing! On days I used this product, I could definitely feel my skin becoming more supple. # Makeup Compatibility As mentioned earlier, this product makes my skin feel firmer, so when I apply foundation over it, the makeup goes on smoothly and adheres well. The result is a beautifully set base. # Design Personally, I love the clean design of the product. The weighty container gives it a more luxurious feel.
Cons# Scent Before using the product, I saw many reviews mentioning the scent, so I was curious. When I smelled it, there was indeed a strong herbal medicine scent. It surprised me at first! I even worried about going out smelling like herbal medicine... But after using it, I found the scent dissipates quickly, so there's no need to worry about that.
TipI used this product exclusively for my skincare routine for about a week. I used it with an exfoliating toner pad to refine my overall complexion, then applied this product by dispensing it into my hands and spreading it all over my face. Even though it's summer and I have dry skin, I didn't feel dry at all using it this way. My skin felt very fresh and clean! I saw great results with the product, so I highly recommend trying this method!

When applied, it feels just right - not unpleasant, and it creates the perfect base for makeup. I love how it gives that ideal level of firmness! 2. Skin soothing! I have super sensitive skin with atopic dermatitis and blemishes, but after using this, my redness has significantly reduced. It's truly amazing! 3. Clean design The container has a sleek, straight shape with a beautiful white color. It looks like it was designed to be simple and elegant!
ConsThe scent is slightly herbal, which might be polarizing for some people. However, I found it quite tolerable! The fragrance dissipates over time, so it didn't bother me much.
TipAfter cleansing your face with a toner-soaked cotton pad to refine your skin texture, just apply this tonic alone for perfectly firm skin!

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.ProsSkin type - Combination dehydrated skin, especially dry in the T-zone with excess oil production, and super sensitive skin - The texture is slightly thinner than a typical essence. It's more viscous than water. - It absorbs quickly into the skin! Rather than feeling like it's evaporating, it absorbs well with a plumping effect. - When applied, there's hardly any oiliness, but it deeply hydrates, effectively addressing deep dryness. The skin has a plump glow rather than an oily shine. - I've tried many low pH products without noticing improvements in skin health or clarity, but with the Baek-Ah-Yul Essence, perhaps due to its natural extracts, I've seen a significant reduction in blemishes and felt my skin becoming healthier! Particularly, I occasionally have reddish blemishes, but the morning after using the Baek-Ah-Yul Essence, my skin looks much clearer!
ConsOne potential drawback is the scent. Even though I'm not particularly sensitive to smells, I was a bit surprised by the strong ginseng-like scent when I first applied the essence. However, the scent doesn't linger long. By the time the essence is fully absorbed into the skin, the fragrance dissipates, so it's not overly bothersome.
TipAs I have severe deep dryness, I layer the essence 2-3 times, which works perfectly for this issue! For those with severe deep dryness, I recommend layering this essence 2-3 times, followed by an emulsion (layered 1-2 times depending on the season) + a moisturizing cream. This should keep your skin hydrated until evening! Also, I tend to get back acne and body blemishes. After noticing how the Baek-Ah-Yul Essence improved my facial skin, I tried it on my back acne and body blemishes, and it was very effective! The Baek-Ah-Yul Essence comes in a generous amount, so I recommend those with small bumps or blemishes on their back or body to try using it not just on the face, but on the body as well.

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.Pros1. Texture A brown-tinted toner with a slight viscosity. It doesn't run like water, giving it a somewhat weighty feel, almost like an ampoule! 2. Application Despite its slight thickness, it surprisingly absorbs quickly! It doesn't sit on top of the skin, feel greasy, or leave an oily residue. This allows for 2-3 layers if desired. The finish has a slight tackiness. Applying cream after this toner creates an even more adherent effect. 3. Hydration It's incredibly moisturizing! I was skeptical about how well it would hydrate given its viscosity, but even with my extremely dry skin, the moisturizing effect lasts for a long time after application! I think it'll work wonderfully in both summer and winter! 4. Effects When I suddenly developed some blemishes on my skin, applying this had a soothing effect! With consistent daily use, I noticed my skin becoming brighter! It seems to be effective in improving skin texture too.
ConsAt first, I was surprised by the strong herbal scent! But looking at the ingredients, I realized it's the smell of components that will benefit my skin, so I actually like it. I think if I keep using this, I'll get used to the scent and might even start enjoying herbal medicine! The fragrance dissipates quickly anyway.
TipIt feels too precious to use as just an exfoliating toner, so I've been applying 2-3 layers. This really helps the hydration last longer! I think this would be great for my mom too, so I'm planning to buy it for her when she runs out of her current toner!

It's not sticky at all and seems to absorb quickly. Plus, it's a huge size! Perfect for using generously without worrying about running out.
ConsThe only downside to this toner was the slightly strong herbal scent. Fortunately, the smell fades quickly after application! If they could just tone down the fragrance a bit, it would be absolutely perfect!
TipI found it works great when applied cool! However, I made the mistake of keeping it in the fridge and it froze, making it unusable... I'd recommend just chilling it briefly before use for a refreshing effect!

Leaves skin feeling moisturized and comfortable without any stickiness.
ConsNothing particularly bad. If I had to nitpick, there's a distinct scent when first applied, but it dissipates quickly.
TipI've been using Baek Ah Yul products before, so I recommend this toner-essence. For those with extremely dry skin, it's good to use the mist shown in the photo along with it. For problem areas, using it together with the Origin Cream works well.

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: It has a viscosity similar to nasal mucus. 2. Scent: Strong herbal fragrance. 3. Hydration: Feels deeply moisturizing after application. 4. Oil: Not very oily. 5. Size: Large, generous volume. I have combination dehydrated and acne-prone skin, and I'm currently using this as my toner. My skin is super sensitive and prone to breakouts if I use the wrong product, but this seems to have gentle ingredients that work well for me. I thought I'd just have to deal with it if it didn't suit me since it was part of The Hwahae Testers event, but it actually works great as my summer toner. It's highly hydrating with low oil content, which is perfect for my combination skin. The large size allows me to use it generously. Thumbs up!
ConsThe herbal scent is quite strong, which might be off-putting for those who dislike traditional medicinal fragrances. However, the scent doesn't linger for long and becomes more tolerable over time.
TipFor an extra refreshing experience, try storing it in the refrigerator and applying it right after cleansing. It helps cool down and soothe your skin, which is especially nice for calming heated skin in the summer.

As someone preparing for pregnancy and meticulously examining every cosmetic product, this one was perfect for me. We all know many cosmetics contain chemicals and substances that can be harmful to our bodies. For someone like me with severe atopy and allergies, this product didn't cause any itching or irritation - it was gentle and moisturizing. I first used the toner on a cotton pad to wipe my face, then applied it again like an essence. The hydration lasted longer this way. In summer, I just used this and one emulsion, which felt light and not stuffy at all. I loved it!
ConsAt first, when I put the toner on a cotton pad, it had a ginseng scent. I thought it was because the cosmetic ingredients were from healthy sources. But a while after applying, the ginseng scent faded away.

I've tried and used many toners, but this essence-like feel and fragrance is a first for me! The texture is like a water-based toner, but you can sense that there's an incredibly concentrated extract in that clear liquid. It really feels like a toner made with great care! When I soaked a cotton pad and wiped my face, I felt my skin become clearer and more refreshed with just one swipe! I plan to use it consistently. As I edit this review, I'll add more later. + Addition: It's slightly viscous with a yellow tint, so it doesn't come out easily. I've been using it with the cap off (though it's wasteful without the cap). When applied generously, it eliminates dryness and clarifies the skin. It really refines the complexion! Highly recommended!
ConsThe scent might be polarizing. For me, it felt like applying a tonic to my face thanks to the fragrance, but those who dislike herbal scents might find it off-putting. Fortunately, the scent doesn't linger on the face after application.
TipI use Tencel mask sheets. I put the toner and Tencel mask in a small ziplock bag to let it absorb, then place it on my face like a sheet mask for a short while. This method increases hydration, reduces heat, and has a soothing effect on the skin. It also allows the skin to fully absorb the toner. If you have time, using an ultrasonic device together enhances absorption even more! It's a bit wasteful to apply generously like a pack daily, and I don't recommend just quickly putting it on and taking it off. It's best to let it absorb for about 10 minutes like a pack in the evening.
