The pleasant scent is a bonus, and it's great for hydration too!
ConsAs someone with acne-prone and oily skin, it feels a bit too rich and heavy for me. It might be better suited for those with dry skin.
TipIt works better as a pat-on toner rather than using it with cotton pads.

Like many male soldiers, I have combination dehydrated skin and I'm trying to maintain my skin in challenging conditions. After using this product for two weeks, I've noticed two main advantages: 1. Convenience It feels like a toner and essence combined, which is great for those who find skincare routines bothersome. It saves time and simplifies the process. 2. Hydration It definitely provides more hydration and a more nourishing feeling compared to a regular toner.
Cons1. Slightly oily finish Being an essence toner, it has a creamier texture rather than a water-like consistency of typical toners. This might feel a bit heavy, especially during summer.

I tend to have a few persistent blemishes, so please keep that in mind!)) 1. Hydration: As someone with oily skin, it felt like a hydration bomb. It was incredibly moisturizing, almost as if my skin was overflowing with hydration. With continued use, I noticed an Inner Glow from deep within my skin. 2. Great mask alternative: Using the included 5-layer cotton pads soaked in toner as a DIY sheet mask was an excellent substitute for traditional sheet masks. (I personally used this method in conjunction with acne medication when I had breakouts.) 3. Finish: For a good while after application, it leaves a satisfyingly moisturized feeling. There was also a nice, firm texture to my skin. 4. 5-layer cotton pads: The included cotton pads are thick and versatile. You can use them one layer at a time or all at once for a plush feel. I often split them into 2-3 layers, soaking them thoroughly to use as an exfoliating toner, wiping once, removing a layer, then wiping again. 5. Packaging: The container design prevents easy leakage. I also found the fragrance quite pleasant.
Cons1. Excessive hydration: For someone with purely oily skin (not combination dehydrated), the hydration felt overwhelming. While the product itself doesn't feel particularly oily, the intense moisture made my face feel heavy after a while, leading to increased oil production. 2. As an oily skin user, I found that this toner focuses solely on hydration without any other notable benefits. While the hydration was too much for my oily skin, I wouldn't personally purchase it at this price point.
Tip1. This would be great for those with dry skin or anyone seeking intense hydration. (For those with oily skin who aren't combination dehydrated, I can't really recommend it.) 2. If you have oily skin, it's best to use this as an exfoliating toner or as a mask substitute. It's too intense for us as a regular toner. 3. I'd prefer using this in winter rather than summer. 4. During summer, I only use this toner when I'm not wearing makeup. 5. Nighttime routine★: After cleansing, I use this product as an exfoliating toner. Just before bed, I gently wipe my face with a cotton pad soaked in plain water. This prevents excessive oiliness and blemishes the next morning.

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 is an honest review from a lucky event winner. 1. Fragrance While many reviewers mentioned a strong scent, I actually found it quite pleasant. The subtle fragrance was really nice. 2. First Impressions My initial experience using the product with the included cotton pad was positive. The cleansing felt refreshingly cool, and seeing the impurities on the pad afterwards made me feel it was effective. I also appreciated how it maintained a hydrating feel on the skin. 3. Long-term Use Results I even used this product during a waterpark trip. Usually, chlorine and pool water wreak havoc on my skin, requiring an intense skincare routine with sheet masks. This time, I only used this product and a mask, and surprisingly, my skin didn't react as badly! 4. Ingredients Apart from two ingredients, the formulation consists of really great components, which gave me peace of mind while using it.
Cons1. Texture As someone with extremely oily skin, I found the product too watery - it was hard to distinguish between the product and my own sebum. After application, instead of feeling fresh, it felt like oil was constantly circulating on my face. Especially when applied at night, I woke up feeling even oilier than usual. 2. Makeup Wear On days when I used this as a base for makeup, my look deteriorated faster. Even with powder to set, just a short walk would cause excess oil production, making my makeup break down quickly. This happened even when I used my most oil-controlling sunscreen. 3. Skin Concerns Given the current situation where we're always wearing masks, I often get blemishes around my mouth area. I was hoping this product would help calm these issues, but it didn't seem to help much and might have even caused more breakouts. 4. Cotton Pads The cotton pads were great, but using the product without them wasn't ideal. As someone who dislikes the sticky feeling on my hands, I always use it with the cotton pads.
Tip1. Use with cotton pads!!! This seems to be the best way to truly experience the benefits of this product. 2. For oily skin types!! If you have oily skin, I recommend not using this product alone. Always pair it with something that can control excess oil for the best results.

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.ProsFirst off, I'm a man in my 30s with combination skin. Advantage 1: Can be used like an essence Before bed, I not only used it with cotton pads to refine skin texture, but also applied it like an essence, letting it soak into my skin. Before using this product, I used to apply Vaseline on top to prevent moisture loss while sleeping, but with generous use of this product, I didn't feel any tightness even after waking up. (Though it has been humid due to the rainy season lately.) Advantage 2: Rich in oil and moisture balance I usually use toners with AHA/BHA ingredients, but this product has a more abundant oil and moisture feel than typical toners. So while it might not suit those with oily skin, it struck just the right oil-moisture balance for my skin without being excessive. I appreciate that it's not overly oily.
ConsDrawback 1: In summer, I tend to sweat more from my face than my body, causing an explosion of oil and sebum. So in summer, I prefer lightweight toners with a bit of alcohol or AHA/BHA ingredients. However, after using the Lagom Cellus Toner diligently for about two weeks, I found it wasn't the type I prefer for summer use. As you can see, it has a white formulation that's not completely watery, but more like the consistency of runny mucus. So it does have a slight oiliness to it. I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin. Drawback 2: It has a scent. There's a slightly sour, citrusy fragrance, albeit weak. It's reminiscent of men's skincare products. While the scent dissipates quickly and doesn't linger, I personally notice it when applying near the nose area.
TipThe Lagom cotton pads I used with this are quite thick. So, after saturating the cotton pad with toner and refining skin texture once, I then peel off the top layer, add a bit more toner, and it's great for absorption like an essence, providing hydration to 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 is a review from The Hwahae Testers! As someone with oily skin in summer, I found that applying just this toner provided enough hydration! In fact, layering anything else on top of the Lagom toner felt too heavy! The finish has a slight rich feel, but it absorbs well quickly. In summer, I prefer using just one hydrating toner rather than layering multiple products. I was worried about the scent because some reviews mentioned it was too strong, but it was fine for me! Those sensitive to fragrances should take note! My mom has dry skin, and she thinks it's too light to use alone. She suggests that for summer, it would be perfect to use 2-3 layers of this toner followed by a light emulsion.
ConsThose with extremely oily skin might find it a bit rich. The texture is between a watery toner and a more viscous one, so it's not completely oil-free. If you dislike toners with any richness, this might not be for you!

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.Pros✨Excellent hydration First off, I loved how moisturizing it felt even with just one application. Being an essence toner, it wasn't too heavy but still provided great hydration. It's also perfect for toner masking - using it with cotton pads was really nice. ✨Helps with small bumps I occasionally get small bumps and a few inflammatory blemishes. The small bumps are usually persistent, but while using this toner, I noticed they were gradually disappearing. I think it's due to the great hydration. Even though I've only used it for a short time, seeing this level of effectiveness makes it a product worth looking forward to! ✨Perfect size While the volume might seem disappointing for a water-based toner, it's just right for this essence toner formulation. ‼️If you're on the fence, I'd recommend giving it a try‼️
Cons1. Scent Personally, I didn't find the scent bothersome and it didn't put me off, so I'm using it well. However, those sensitive to fragrances might find it a bit strong for a toner. It varies from person to person, but I didn't find the scent off-putting! 2. Finish It leaves a slightly rich feel, almost like you've applied an oil. However, it's not overwhelmingly so, which is why I continue to use it.
TipIf you're doing a toner mask, wet one of the provided cotton pads (there are about 5 sheets per pad). Use one sheet at a time and leave it on for about 5 minutes. Since this has a hydrating formula, you can even leave it on a bit longer before removing.

It seemed to tackle that deep dryness too!
ConsWhile it hydrates without irritation, it did feel a bit rich. Still, I can't complain since it didn't cause any blemishes or issues.

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 is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First off, the texture feels more like an essence than a toner. It has a milky white, slightly viscous consistency that's easy to apply without a cotton pad. It gives the impression of balancing oil and moisture better. I'm not one to layer products heavily, so when my skin isn't too dry, I found that applying this multiple times was enough to keep dryness at bay. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't been going out much due to COVID (barely seeing sunlight), but my overall complexion has brightened. I'll keep using it to see if it's due to this toner.
ConsMy skin is generally dry, but my T-zone tends to be oily. Compared to my previous toner, this one seems to have more oil content. After applying, I noticed increased oiliness in my T-zone area. Because of this, it doesn't seem suitable for the '7-skin method' I usually follow.
TipThe consistency is on the sticky side, so when I applied it with my hands instead of a cotton pad, it seemed to increase oiliness. I found that using a cotton pad to pat it on 2-3 times, followed by one hand application, works best. Make sure to apply it to your neck if it's particularly dry - it works wonders there!

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 Hwahae Testers Review: The toner came with cotton pads, but unfortunately the box containing the pads was damaged, causing them to roll around. That was a bit disappointing. - Texture: It has a very light consistency that absorbs quickly and feels refreshing on the skin. - Hydration: It's incredibly moisturizing and perfect for a lightweight application! - After application: At first, I thought it felt a bit oily, but once it absorbed into my skin, it left a soft, matte finish. It seems to work well once it's fully absorbed.
Cons- Scent: Instead of a pleasant fragrance, it has a somewhat complex scent...? It wasn't to my liking, unfortunately. - Oiliness(?): Because it initially felt oily, I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily or combination skin...
TipIt's great for a really light application, but as an exfoliating toner, the price seems a bit steep... I'd recommend using it in the morning rather than as part of your nighttime skincare routine!
