Pros
💗Skin Type I usually prefer toners with a dense texture to provide moisture, but I needed a gentle toner that can exfoliate, so I purchased the COSRX Propolis Toner and it was a complete success, so I tried it again. COSRX is one of my favorite brands because they use high concentrations of effective ingredients at an affordable price. I also found that the COSRX Refresh AHA/BHA Vitamin C Toner has good ingredients as well. 💗How to Use I use it as a skin pack by soaking a cotton pad, and then in the next skincare step, I wipe it off with the cotton pad to use it as a toner. 💗Texture It has a clear, non-sticky texture. When applied, it gets absorbed quickly, leaving just the moisture behind. 💗Moisturizing Power Even though it has a very lightweight texture, I was pleasantly surprised that my skin felt moisturized and supple. 💗Exfoliating Effect It gently exfoliates as a toner, and I can feel the difference in my skin texture after a few days of use. Other exfoliating toners felt too harsh for daily use, but this one is perfect for daily care. It's great for sensitive skin like mine! These days, I'm using this to gently exfoliate my skin every day. And with the vitamin ingredients, my skin looks brighter over time. 💗Ingredients Since I have sensitive skin, I can't use products with irritating or harsh chemical ingredients, but this toner was gentle and didn't cause any issues. 💗Fragrance It's fragrance-free, so there's no unpleasant smell, which makes me feel more at ease. 💗Packaging The matte plastic bottle looks simple and not overly fancy, which I prefer over packaging that seems to have a lot of money put into it. The design is simple yet nice. 💗Value It's very affordable considering the volume. I've been using it daily, and there's still a lot left. I would definitely repurchase this.
Cons
There doesn't seem to be any downsides. Maybe for those with extremely dry skin, it could be a bit drying to use as a moisturizing toner.

Pros
It's a complete water-type, so it didn't leave my skin feeling sticky or stuffy after cleansing. I didn't experience any particular trouble or tightness on my face, and it seems like a suitable type to use just for cleansing purposes. As it contains Ahava ingredients, it can provide some level of sebum control.
Cons
It just feels like a product to use for cleansing purposes only... It didn't provide any moisture or hydration. Considering the price range and volume, there wasn't anything particularly special about it compared to other toners.

Pros
1. Gentle I used to feel a stinging sensation when using Ahabaha, but that was not the case here. The product is completely non-irritating and gentle. I used it as a cleansing balm. 2. Sufficient moisturizing function I thought it would only exfoliate and not moisturize, but it left my skin feeling hydrated. 3. Gentle and moisturizing, so I can use it freely I used it as a cleansing balm and in the morning instead of pads, and it worked great. 4. Manages dead skin, sebum Now that I think about it, I didn't have any issues with blackheads, dead skin, or oiliness during the time I used it. My skin seemed to stabilize overall.
Cons
There's really nothing I'm unhappy about. I'll likely continue buying and using it. However, I prefer Pha (Pha) ingredients over Ahabaha, so I'd be excited if a Pha Vitamin C skin product came out.
Tip
With any cosmetic product, make sure to gently pat it into the skin so it can be absorbed properly!

Pros
Oh, the review deadline was yesterday but I couldn't check my messages so I'm writing it now ㅠㅜㅜ I really used this toner morning and night, soaking cotton pads with it, and after using it consistently for 3-4 days, my skin really became noticeably soft and smooth ㅠ ♥Moisturizing Power♥ When you first apply it, it feels refreshing like water, but over time it becomes more dense and nourishing. ♥Trouble♥ After using it for 10 days, my blemishes have significantly calmed down, and as someone with severe redness, using it as a face pack really helps soothe the redness. ♥Exfoliation♥ I had a lot of flakiness and dry skin around my lips, and when I applied it directly without soaking a cotton pad, the flakiness completely disappeared and my skin became so smooth ㅜㅜ ♥Price♥ I think it's a really great product for the price. The amount may look small, but I soaked the cotton pads generously and used it twice a day for 10 days, and it only went down about 1/6th. It works so well to refine my skin texture and remove flakiness, and the watery formula is so refreshing and hydrating - I think everyone should try this toner at least once.
Cons
Hmm, by my standards there's not much I'm dissatisfied with, but if I had to pick one, it would be that the moisturizing effect is quite hydrating when you first apply it, but after about 10 minutes it goes back to feeling quite similar to before...

Pros
After using it almost daily for 2 weeks, the main thing I liked was the generous volume. As someone who tends to use a lot at once, this was a big plus for me. When applying it, there was no stinging sensation or dryness afterwards. Even though I usually need to apply toner 2-3 times, it felt hydrating all the way through. The fragrance is barely noticeable, so there's no need to worry about liking the scent or not. My skin is on the sensitive side, but I didn't experience any breakouts while using it. I would repurchase it and recommend it as a reliable, fuss-free option.
Cons
While I didn't have any breakouts, I'm not sure if it had a noticeable calming effect. After 2 weeks of use, I didn't see significant improvements in terms of tone correction or visible effects.

Pros
It seems the Ahabaha ingredients in the toner were effective in exfoliating my skin. I could really feel the difference in my skin texture when cleansing or applying skincare products by hand. After using it for a few days, my skin has become so smooth and soft. Before, I used to dislike touching my skin because of the rough, bumpy texture, but now I find myself fondly feeling how much smoother it has become. I was randomly selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, which is how I discovered this product. I'm very satisfied with using this toner, so I plan to repurchase it once I finish this bottle. The large volume for the price seems like a good value. This was my first time trying Ahabaha skincare ingredients, and I'm glad I was able to discover that they work well for my skin. Most importantly, I now understand the importance of exfoliation in managing my acne, which I'm grateful to have learned.
Cons
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the effects of this product!! The only downside is that, while it's not realistic to expect a toner to provide a lot of hydration, this product has a very watery texture. So even after wiping it on with a cotton pad and then patting it in with my hands, I still find it difficult to get a real sense of moisture from this toner.

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review📝 I received the product on Wednesday, January 8th, and used it for about 9 days!! 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
Cons
If I had to point out a downside, it would be the value for money. Other than that, everything was good!
Tip
Wipe 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!!

Pros
🌟Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review🌟 ✨Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Toner✨ First, I received this product and used it for about 3 days. Personally, I don't use toners very often, but since the weather is so dry, I thought using a toner and lotion together would be good. After removing my makeup, I used a cotton pad to apply the toner. The ingredients are gentle, and it's fragrance-free, so I didn't have any aversion to using it. It was very nice. My skin is unusually sensitive and has an immediate allergic reaction. But after using it, no blemishes came up, so I think I can use it daily without any issues. And since the formula is thin (almost like water), it absorbs quickly into the skin, which was great. The advantage of this toner is that it can control sebum. As I have oily skin and my oil comes up often, this feature appealed to me.
Cons
After I used it, my skin didn't really have anything major come up, but right after applying, it felt a little burning and stinging. I think it's because my skin is quite sensitive. For those with very sensitive skin, it might be better to avoid it. And the price seems a bit higher than I expected, which is disappointing.
Tip
When using the toner, if you wipe it off with a 5-ply cotton pad and then pat it on once more with the liquid itself, it absorbs better.

Pros
🌸 Hwahae Trial Reviewer Real Review 🌸 I would like to express my gratitude to Hwahae for providing me the opportunity to test this great product :) I am a typical oily and dry-skinned man in my late 20s. I do a simple skin makeup, and while I don't have acne-prone skin, I have slightly sensitive skin. 🌼 Moisturizing Power: I usually soak a cotton pad with the product and leave it on for about 5 minutes in the morning, but I also used it as a cleansing toner. Since I always double-cleanse, please keep that in mind when reading the review! On days when my skin felt too tight after cleansing, I also used it as a face mask. This product provided decent moisturizing. As a renowned toner, the COSRX products seem to consistently deliver above-average performance. With its watery toner texture, it absorbed quickly into the skin. It should work well for oily skin types throughout the seasons, and for dry skin types, it could be a good option for refining skin texture! 🌼 Application: Unlike many cleansing toners that can be foamy and uncomfortable due to surfactants, this one applied smoothly and refreshingly. 🌼 Ingredients: The AHA and vitamin components seem to help with brightening and exfoliation. While the concentrations are slightly lower than the domestic cosmetic allowance, using it for about a week helped maintain an adequate skin texture without additional exfoliation. Considering it's not a product specifically targeted for extremely oily skin types, the ingredient concentrations seem appropriate. 🌼 Cost-Effectiveness: The cost-effectiveness is not bad considering the volume. While there are many great cost-effective cosmetics available these days, at 280ml and being a renowned toner brand like COSRX, the price is reasonable.
Cons
🌼 Moisturizing Power: This is not recommended for those looking for a rich and nourishing toner. It absorbs quickly and lightly, so it's great for those who want a toner for refining skin texture, removing residual impurities, and providing a lightweight moisturizing effect. However, if you're seeking a toner that's intensely nourishing and creamy, this may not be the best option. But if you soak a cotton pad with it and leave it on your skin for about 5 minutes in the morning while you're drying your hair, your skin will immediately feel soothed and look brighter, giving you a more radiant look for a bare-faced or makeup look. 🌼 Ingredients: Given that this is a product for exfoliation and brightening, those with sensitive skin may find the AHA and vitamin components a bit irritating. Also, since it contains vitamin components, daily users will need to ensure they use sunscreen, as the vitamin ingredients can react with sunlight and cause redness or skin issues. Even without the vitamin components, sunscreen is essential when going out, but especially with a product containing vitamin ingredients, as the chemical reaction with sunlight can lead to flushing and skin troubles, so you'll need to apply it thoroughly.
Tip
🌼 Since your face tends to feel a bit warm, you can try soaking a cotton pad with the toner and keeping it in the refrigerator before cleansing. Then, when you come out of the shower, you can apply the chilled cotton pad to your face. This way, you can experience the skin tone-improving benefits of the vitamin components, while also feeling a cooling effect that can help soothe any redness. As we all know, having a lower skin temperature helps your skincare products and makeup apply better!

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review •Exfoliation ☆☆☆☆ In the winter, my cheeks get dry and flaky, and when I apply makeup, small flakes start to peel off. 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.
Tip
Since 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.
