In addition to refining the skin texture, there seems to be immediate whitening effects, perhaps due to the vitamin C. If used consistently, the complexion is likely to become brighter as well. Good good 👍
ConsThere are no regrets, and I wish there were more large-scale events!ㅎㅎ
TipApplying a small amount of hyaluronic acid can help hydrate, balance the complexion, and improve moisture, which is great. It transforms a completely watery toner into a slightly viscous toner, so it can be used conveniently even without a cotton pad.

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 Baha formula contains 0.03% concentration, which is lower than the 0.1% concentration in Clarifying. So it's clear that the Baha formula is less effective for acne. Clarifying would be better for combination/oily skin! The higher AHA content in this product suggests it would be more effective for improving skin texture, exfoliating, and brightening the complexion. Therefore, it is recommended for dry skin!
ConsAs a vitamin-based toner, there is a sticky feeling after use!!! There is also a slight stinging sensation when applied to acne-prone areas, but otherwise no irritation. Repurchase intent is so-so..

I'm also using the COSRX pads, and I alternate using them for exfoliation depending on my skin condition each day. It helps refine my skin texture before makeup and absorbs nicely, leaving a refreshing feel.
ConsThe lightweight, watery formula would probably suit better in the summer than the current cold winter.
TipIt's also nice to use as a light face mask.

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.ProsIt was incredibly lightweight and didn't burden my skin at all I used it diligently and generously right after receiving it, and there's still a lot left Since there's no irritation, I could cleanse my skin two to three times without any issues It was the lightest formula I've tried, and it feels surprisingly moisturizing once absorbed into the skin
ConsAs for the scent, it's a mild soapy bubble smell... The scent was a bit noticeable at first, but it didn't bother me much after a while It doesn't seem to have a particularly pleasant fragrance Since I have dry skin, it wasn't perfect for my winter skincare routine I think I would have seen better results if I had used it in the summer It seems like a very light and refreshing product for summer use But for winter, it fell a bit short, so I took off one star
TipIn the summer when there's a lot of oil buildup and heat, you can soak a cotton pad with it and use it to cleanse and cool your skin, which I think would be very effective

My skin type is slightly dry. ✔️Packaging When I first received the product and opened it, the packaging was neat and felt premium, which made me feel good even before using it!! ✔️Usage In the evening, after cleansing my face, I wiped it with a thin cotton pad soaked in toner, and it felt gentle~ ✔️Effects Since it's winter, my skin tends to get dry easily, but using the toner daily, my skin became softer and my makeup went on better! ✔️Moisturizing Power The product itself may not have high moisturizing power, but it seems to help the absorption of the next product! After wiping with the toner and applying a moisturizing gel or cream, my skin felt like it absorbed the products better:D
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be the value for money. Other than that, everything was good!
TipWipe your skin with the toner-soaked cotton pad, and then generously apply a moisturizing gel or cream before going to bed. The next day, your skin will be glowing!!

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.ProsI used this toner right after cleansing, while my skin was still damp. I soaked a soft cotton pad with the toner and gently patted it onto my skin to smooth out the texture. The toner contains Baha ingredients that help remove residual dead skin cells and sebum, which really improved my skin texture. I used to have trouble with my makeup clinging to dry patches, but after using this toner, my skin looks so much smoother and my makeup applies beautifully. Even though I have thin, sensitive skin, I can use this toner daily without any irritation. The lightweight, watery formula is perfect for applying after cleansing. I also really like how the toner absorbs nicely without leaving a sticky residue. The scent is very faint, almost undetectable, so it should work well even for those sensitive to fragrance. Considering the great results and affordable price, I will definitely repurchase this toner.
ConsI don't have any complaints about this toner so far. I haven't experienced any breakouts or issues using it.

It seems to be a toner that's just right for exfoliating the dead skin. ☀️Morning Skin I'm really a power oily-skinned person, so even when I wash my face in the morning, I always use cleansing to wash my face. And even after that, the oil comes back to my face after a little while. But in the morning, after just using the Ahava Toner to tidy up my skin texture, I felt like my makeup went on well, so I was in a good mood.ㅎㅎ (It's such a bummer when your makeup gets messed up in the morning and you have to go out like that.ㅠ)
Cons💢 It seems that using the Ahava Toner alone is not enough to do proper skincare.ㅎㅎ Even for me, a power oily-skinned person, after using this toner, I felt some kind of discomfort, so I applied the Tonymoly Mochi Toner once more.ㅎㅎ 💢 It's good that there are no harmful ingredients, but ㅠ during the time I used this toner, I had a lot of acne on my nose, and it was difficult to calm it down.ㅠ I guess there was an ingredient that didn't suit me.ㅠ Aside from that, everything else was fine!
TipIf you're not an oily-skinned person in the morning, I think you can use this toner as a morning cleansing substitute! During the time I used this toner, I kept using a thin cotton pad, but that seemed to have caused irritation instead. I recommend using a thicker cotton pad and applying the toner generously!☺️☺️

But after gently wiping it, the flakes were removed without any irritation. •Almost Fragrance-free ☆☆☆☆☆ The fragrance is so faint that you have to bring it really close to your nose to detect it. I'm glad it has almost no scent. •Skin Texture Improvement ☆☆☆☆☆ I wiped it on a cotton pad morning and night, and my skin felt smoother, and the uneven bumps on my T-zone became less noticeable.
Cons•Whitening, Anti-aging ☆ It's hard to expect whitening and anti-aging effects from a toner, but the brightening and tone-evening effects it claims to have were not there. •Sebum Control ☆ The sebum control effect was also minimal.
TipSince it contains whitening ingredients, the usage instructions state that you should apply sunscreen when using it during the day. When using it during the day, you need to be extra careful about sun protection.

My skin is combination, and in the winter, my cheeks tend to get very dry, so I like products with good moisture. At first, I found this product to be a bit too watery and gentle, and it didn't seem to provide enough moisture for my dry cheeks. However, when I apply the toner generously on a cotton pad and use it to smooth out my skin, it gently refines my skin texture without any irritation. My skin feels prepared for the next steps in my routine. In the winter when my skin gets rough, I usually have to exfoliate a lot, but this toner helps refine my skin without any irritation. I have sensitive, allergy-prone skin, but this product doesn't cause any issues for me. While it's a bit too light and watery for my dry areas, it's great as a gentle, non-irritating cleansing toner! My skin is sensitive and combination, so I can't use just any product on my cheeks, but this toner is so mild that it doesn't bother my skin at all. Using a cotton pad to wipe it on makes my skin feel refined, and I always use this toner to prep my skin before makeup, which helps my makeup apply smoothly. It's a perfect toner in a light, watery formula!
ConsThose with dry skin may find it a bit drying. I have to layer it 3 times on my cheeks to get enough moisture. For drier skin types, it may not provide enough hydration.
TipIn the morning, I use this toner generously on a cotton pad to cleanse and refine my skin. After that, I apply the COSRX Propolis Ampule and then the Avène moisturizer before doing my makeup. Recently, my makeup has been applying really nicely thanks to this routine!

I had high expectations because of the image of the COSRX brand itself, and I've been using it recently. First of all, the advantage was that the amount was generous. And it applied lightly, and after wiping it off, my skin felt polished. And it absorbed quickly. I'm sensitive to scents, but since it was unscented, I liked it even more!
ConsWhen I applied it to the wounded area, I felt a stinging sensation, possibly due to the vitamin C ingredient. It says the AHA ingredient helps exfoliate, but since I didn't use it for a long time, I'm not sure if it really exfoliated well, which was disappointing.
