It came with complimentary cotton pads and samples, and I managed to get it for just over 8,000 won using my points. The formula is as light as water with a subtle scent, feeling gentle and non-irritating. I used to struggle with deep dryness, but applying this toner two or three times followed by an emulsion definitely boosts hydration. Unlike the COSRX propolis line which caused blemishes for me, this product doesn't trigger any irritation or itching. It seems perfect for those with super sensitive skin to use worry-free.
ConsThe watery consistency means it gets used up pretty quickly.

It provides just the right amount of hydration and leaves the skin feeling nicely refreshed.
ConsThose who bought it specifically as an exfoliating toner might find the texture a bit more fluid than expected.

First off, I found the texture and after-feel very similar to The Lab by Blanc Doux. I have extremely dry skin with severe deep dryness, but this toner deeply hydrates from within - the moisturizing power is amazing! Secondly, I have super sensitive skin prone to blemishes, so I can't use just anything. This product has excellent ingredients, and even with multiple layers, I experienced no irritation at all! The water-like consistency allows it to absorb instantly into the skin. The price isn't too burdensome, and the quantity is generous, making it perfect for liberal application. You can feel the effects after just one use! I might sound overly complimentary, but as someone with very sensitive skin who can't use just any cosmetic, I was half worried, half excited to try this as a tester. I'm incredibly satisfied with this product!
ConsThe watery consistency makes it a bit tricky to apply as it tends to run. However, despite this texture, it still provides a deep, nourishing hydration, so it's not really an issue.
TipI have extremely dry skin - if I don't apply something immediately after cleansing, my face feels like it's about to crack. With this product, I apply three thin layers on the back of my hand and then pat it onto my face - there's no tightness at all. I recommend applying multiple thin layers. Storing it in the refrigerator makes it even better - it cools down your skin temperature for a refreshing experience!

Being a liquid formula, it absorbs quickly without any pilling, leaving my skin feeling hydrated. * Hydration My skin was extremely dry due to the office heating, but after exfoliating with the Clear Pad and moisturizing with this water toner, I applied my usual makeup. There was noticeably less tightness and flaking. * Ingredients As someone who has dealt with adult acne for a long time (now just getting one spot around the chin during that time of the month), I'm very particular about ingredients. I'm thrilled that this product doesn't contain any harmful components. There's absolutely no irritation after use. In fact, it seems to soothe my sensitive skin after using the pads.
Cons* Texture The runny liquid texture means I might waste product if I'm not careful when dispensing it into my palm. * Value for money The price seems a bit steep for the amount you get. Also, the packaging is plastic rather than glass...
TipSatisfaction rating: 5 stars I'm a fan of COSRX's Clear Pad line, and this water toner has won me over as well. It's effective in calming sensitive skin. I think it would work great as a skin pack if applied with a cotton pad.

While I'm not getting new breakouts, a week before my period, tiny bumps appear and then disappear, leaving behind many acne scars. I store this toner in the fridge and either apply it directly to my skin for quick absorption or use a cotton pad to smooth out my skin texture. Pros: - Easy-to-open packaging with a matte finish bottle - Absorbs incredibly well - Gentle ingredients - One of the top 5 toners I've used for balancing my skin - Feels like it effectively removes excess oil and impurities
ConsCons: - Experienced a burning sensation when applying the toner. It subsided after about 5 minutes, but I'd be cautious recommending this to those with super sensitive skin - The cap doesn't screw on and off, it's more of a snap-on lid. I worry it might break if not handled carefully. Also, the toner dispensing hole is too small - The toner tends to run down the sides when applying to hands or cotton pads - Considering the price, the quantity is small and it runs out quickly when used with cotton pads - While not exactly fragrance-free, there's a faint, strange crayon-like alcohol scent
TipTips: - Storing it in the fridge can help reduce the burning sensation. Final thoughts: - I wouldn't particularly recommend this for those with super sensitive skin. - While I didn't notice it clearing up blemishes, I think it's a decent toner for balancing the skin.

I tried sniffing it but couldn't really tell. Recommended for those who prefer fragrance-free products. Application: It's like water. I almost spilled it at first. It flows very easily, so they seem to have intentionally made the container opening narrow. Still, it flows well, which was a bit inconvenient. But it's great when removing! Hydration: Moisture level is decent. It's not like 'Wow, super hydrating!' but you'll miss it when you don't use it. There was a noticeable difference in hydration when using it versus not. Blemishes...? There seems to be a slight calming effect (not dramatically noticeable though). Blemishes seem to heal a bit faster. However, they still do appear. Quantity: The amount is surprisingly generous. Additional thoughts (after a month of use): At first, I thought it was just a product with a lot of product and no major pros or cons, good for everyday use. But that might have become its strength - my skin has improved lately. Nothing else in my skincare routine has changed... Fewer blemishes, and makeup applies better. Looks like it's a product that shows results with consistent use!
ConsTexture: It's too runny, just like water. So it was a bit inconvenient to apply. Because it's so fluid, it often gets on the container lid. Absorption: It absorbs slowly. I thought it would absorb well based on the texture, but it felt like it was sitting on top of my skin. You need to pat it in over time (I pressed it firmly into my skin). Although I used it daily for The Hwahae Testers review, I don't feel like reaching for it often.
TipRecommended as a skin pack! The quantity is surprisingly generous, so it's not too burdensome. Using it as a skin pack had a good calming effect. It seemed to reduce redness in the 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.ProsThis review is written as a winner of The Hwahae Testers program. Texture: It has a water-like consistency. When I first tried it, I thought it was just water! Scent: The best thing about this product is that it's fragrance-free! Absolutely no scent at all :) Skin effects: To test this product's effectiveness, I used only this for about two days after receiving it. As a result, I felt my skin becoming smoother and softer. My skin felt plump like mochi and bouncy like jelly (however, no dramatic effects were observed). Quantity: The amount is really generous. Feel free to use it liberally. Ingredients: The ingredients are good. It seems safe to use without worry. Blemishes: I didn't experience any breakouts, and it gave a slight soothing effect on my skin.
ConsFirst of all, it absorbs slowly. It's truly like water, just as the name suggests. It absorbs slowly and runs easily. Before absorption, the toner forms droplets on the skin. Seeing this, I think this toner might be high-molecular, which means regardless of its ingredients, the skin can't absorb it well. Anyway, I deducted one star because the slow absorption is inconvenient.
TipIt works well as a mist. If you apply it once, wait for it to be fully absorbed, then reapply, repeating this 3-4 times, your skin becomes very firm. I use it with the TO**** serum, and they work well together. I apply a layer of the TO**** serum (which absorbs quickly) and then 2-3 layers of this toner. For particularly dry areas, applying a tiny bit of Vaseline works even better.
