Recently, my skin has been getting worse due to wearing masks, so I've been changing my toner and lotion. Then, I got the chance to review this product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. I've tried almost all the expensive and inexpensive toners that are said to be good. This toner was simply a lightweight and refreshing toner that was faithful to the basics. Pros: - The water-based formula is lightweight. - It's a good toner for those who get along well with tea tree ingredients. - I have redness and a lot of heat in my face, and using this toner as a moisture pack helped soothe my skin. - Other toners would start to feel tight over time, but this one maintained moisture without much tightness. - It seems like a good toner to start using as the weather gets warmer. - The cap is hygienic.
Cons- There aren't really any bad points. But at the same time, there weren't any major benefits either. Since using it, my skin hasn't become significantly clearer or my redness hasn't disappeared or anything like that. The main downside, if I had to pick one, is that it just does its job as a toner without any standout effects.
TipI'd recommend this more for your morning skincare routine than your evening one. Using this toner in the morning gave me a light and breezy start to my makeup routine. I wouldn't call it a tip, but they also sent me a natural cotton pad, which is a nice item. As someone with sensitive skin, I usually don't use cotton pads, but this one seems really good for sensitive skin.

I think this would be a great product for those who are sensitive to smells. As someone who is quite sensitive to scents, I usually avoid strongly scented cosmetics, but since this one had no fragrance, I was able to use it comfortably without any issues. It was great to use this as a light pack before makeup or before bed.
ConsMy boyfriend and I tried using it together, but for some reason, he ended up getting breakouts. Even though I just switched out the toner and kept using the same other products, it's clear that this toner didn't agree with his skin. As for me, I didn't have any issues using it. I thought the fragrance-free formula would be very gentle, but it seems like it just didn't work well with my boyfriend's skin. When we used it as a light pack before bed, he said it felt irritating. Also, while I liked using it as a pack, I felt like there wasn't much product left when I applied it. It almost felt like the product just disappeared when I put it on, and I ended up feeling quite dry afterwards. That's why I ended up just using it as a pack more often, rather than applying it directly. I'm not sure if it's because I'm used to using richer, more substantial toners and essences, but this one just didn't give me that same satisfying application feeling. My boyfriend felt the same way - he said it felt like the product just evaporated quickly. I did appreciate that it was fragrance-free, but that lack of substance was a bit disappointing.
TipI found that using this as a 5-minute pack before makeup or a 10-minute pack before bed worked really well! The key tip is to store the toner in the fridge and use it chilled - it makes such a refreshing and soothing experience!

That's why I love soothing products :) The centella and houttuynia cordata extracts seem to work well for my skin, and this product contains those ingredients, so I felt a lightweight and cooling sensation on my skin. With the frequent mask-wearing, I've been dealing with blemishes, so I've been using sheet masks often. This seems to work really well for light, everyday use.
ConsHowever, since I have sensitive skin, I felt a bit of dryness using just this toner alone. ㅠ It does have a soothing effect, but it didn't really get rid of or significantly reduce my blemishes (based on my experience).
TipIf you soak a cotton pad with the toner and chill it in the fridge for a bit, you can use it as a cooling sheet mask. This helps lower the skin's temperature and brightens the complexion♡

It's a new scent for me. 1. Not irritating (important for sensitive skin) 2. Light and refreshing 3. Skin texture is refined after use 4. Absorbs well
Cons1. No dramatic moisturizing effect or benefits like a typical water toner 2. Many alternative products available 3. Not an inexpensive price 4. Banana scent may be divisive 5. When used as a face pack or applied more than twice, the face became reddened and swollen (the ingredients seem fine, but it may not suit me personally)
Tip1. The skin photo may appear different in color due to the lighting, so please refer to it as a reference 2. The cotton pads that came with it are soft, but they don't release the toner well 3. Since there were no skin troubles, I couldn't test the calming effect

I have acne-prone and dry skin, so I'll write an honest review. First, it had a sweet fragrance when I applied it, but the fragrance naturally disappeared as I used it. It just gave me a nice, pleasant feeling. ㅎㅎ The cotton pads also looked high-quality, with multiple layers. I could see that the redness of my acne was slightly soothed. It had an incredibly refreshing and lightweight finish. I'd recommend this to oily-skinned people who dislike heavy skincare.
ConsSince I have dry skin, it was quite drying for me. ㅜㅜ So I had to layer it on two or three times because it was so drying after the first application.
TipThe cotton pads that come with it seem great for doing face masks! Oily-skinned people should try using it as a face mask. It's so refreshing and great!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions.

Light and Refreshing Texture As a complete water-based toner, the texture feels light and refreshing. The formula is not thick or viscous, but rather watery, just like water. 2. Suitable for Cleansing or Application Given the light texture, this toner is suitable for use as a cleansing toner after washing your face. Many people these days enjoy using a cleansing toner. You can use it lightly and gently to wipe away any residue, or simply pat it onto your skin with your hands. While the watery consistency may cause it to drip down your face quickly, you can quickly press it into your skin with your palms. 3. Soothing Skin Mask You can also soak the provided cotton pads in this toner and leave them on your face for a few minutes to experience a soothing skin mask effect. If your skin has become sensitive and flushed from switching skincare products, applying the toner-soaked cotton pads to your cheeks, forehead, and chin can help calm and soothe your skin. The redness and heated sensation will subside.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is not overpowering, but rather subtle. It has a slight sweet scent, though it's not exactly a fruity aroma. The fragrance doesn't seem to be from the ingredients, as there is no indication of artificial fragrances being added. It has a somewhat artificial, almost like a faint, processed food-like scent. While the sweet note is gentle, it's not a particularly pleasant fragrance. However, it's not unpleasant either - the fragrance is just something to be aware of. 2. Product Volume The product volume seems a bit low considering the price point. Especially if using it as a cleansing toner, the amount may feel slightly insufficient. For an 18,000 won toner that doesn't have any special functional claims, one could likely find a more affordable option with a more generous volume. 3. Hydration At first, the toner does feel hydrating. But that initial impression doesn't seem to last. Unless you apply a generous amount and really work it into the skin, it doesn't leave the skin feeling intensely moisturized. As a combination skin type with drier cheeks, I noticed my cheeks and chin felt dehydrated fairly quickly after application.
TipWhile there's no special tip per se, you can simply store the toner in a shaded area and then generously soak the provided cotton pads - almost to the point of saturation. You can then place the soaked cotton pads over your entire face as a quick and easy skin mask. This can be helpful when you don't want to go through the hassle of a full face mask, but still want to get some soothing hydration. In fact, the true gem of this product may be the cotton pads that come with it. They are 3-ply cotton pads that are perfectly separated yet seamlessly integrated. It seems they were designed specifically for use as a skin mask. Normally, when using cotton pads to wipe the face, they can dry out or become unraveled. But these cotton pads maintain their integrity - no matter how much you wipe, they don't fall apart or leave behind any fibers. You can use them to thoroughly cleanse the skin without any unwanted residue. I would even consider purchasing these cotton pads separately, as they are the best I've used so far.

I'm using it with peace of mind because the ingredients are good 😊 Lately, I've been having a lot of dead skin around my cheeks and lips, but I've been able to take care of it with this product. It's light enough to use as a mist, but it's still moisturizing. The free gift cotton pads are really amazing - they're 3-ply cotton pads. I wish they sold them separately.
ConsThe volume is a bit disappointing. The amount is a bit small for using it as a toner pack or cleansing toner. Since it's a light formula, it seems to get used up faster. I wish they had promotions like '1+1'.
TipThe free gift cotton pads are divided into three! At first, I didn't know and used several at once. ㅋㅋ Dividing the cotton pads and soaking them in the toner, then applying them to areas with a lot of dead skin or sensitive areas, seems to help calm them down quickly.
