(Update) I've discontinued use. - Made my skin sensitive and weak. - Blemishes appeared in areas where I usually don't get them. - Increased redness. - Skin texture became uneven. My skin returned to its original state a week after stopping use. (Please read the detailed information in the 'Cons' section!) 08.10. This is a review from The Hwahae Testers! <Quick Summary> + Moisturizing power of an essence toner + Silky smooth finish - Disappointing potentially allergenic ingredients ☆ Skin Type Sensitive, Combination to Dry I was born with dry skin, but through diligent care, I've improved my skin condition to combination type when I started using this! My facial skin is very thin (you can see the capillaries) and sensitive. ☆ Texture Milky white color, looks as fluid as water. ☆ Moisturizing Power To check its moisturizing ability, I applied only this toner. Compared to other toners, it took much longer before I felt any tightness or dryness. Those with oily skin might be able to use this alone! ☆ Application It leaves a pleasantly silky smooth finish. If I exaggerate a bit, it feels like touching warm, damp porcelain... haha! In terms of application, this might be the best among all the toners I've tried! I recommend this for those who don't have sensitive skin!
Cons08.29. (Update) I've discontinued use. I used it for just under a month, and while the moisturizing power and finish were good, I felt like my skin was becoming more sensitive. There weren't any major blemishes, so I continued using it... My skin gradually became more sensitive, and then blemishes started appearing one by one. I thought it might be due to hormones during my period and didn't think much of it, but then blemishes started appearing in areas where I don't usually get them. Overall, my face, especially my cheeks, became very red, my skin texture became uneven, and I got blemishes in areas where I don't usually break out. The redness wasn't just a simple flush, but more like my skin was having an adverse reaction to a product, with a rough, inflamed look. The texture was particularly bad around my forehead, nose, and sides of the nose. One day, looking in the mirror, I actually said out loud, "Wow, what's wrong with my face?" Suspecting it might be because of this product, I stopped using it, and within a week, my skin returned to normal. This really made me realize once again the importance of ingredients... 8.10. Review from The Hwahae Testers - Disappointing ingredients. While I haven't had any major blemishes yet, my skin seems to be becoming more sensitive with continued use... I'm planning to take a break and try using it again. (I'll update the review after using it for a longer period!) I also received cotton pads with the tester, but I'm a bit hesitant to do a toner mask with this... There are two potentially allergenic ingredients, both of which are fragrances. I wonder if they really needed to be included... that's disappointing. The product itself has a tangy lemon-lime scent. I don't like fragrances... I deducted one star because it seems to make my skin sensitive due to the ingredients, and another star because I didn't find it particularly charming as a toner product.. While I was satisfied with its moisturizing power and it had the best application feel, there are so many toners these days with good moisturizing power and perfect ingredients.. Since toner is the first product applied to completely bare skin after cleansing, I'm even more concerned about the ingredients.

ConsI really wanted to love this product because the texture, scent, and functions were exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, after using it for a day, I noticed some blemishes on my cheeks. I thought it might be unrelated and continued using it, but then red spots appeared on my forehead too. I've stopped using it for now. The blemishes seem to be subsiding since I stopped, which suggests the product might be the cause. I might try it again when my skin feels a bit dry.
TipIf you soak a sponge cotton pad generously and use it as a mask, you can feel a deep, intense hydration!

I have somewhat sensitive skin, and this caused what looks like hives, definitely not pimples or acne. I'm prone to redness on my cheeks, and this made several red spots appear around those areas. It doesn't hurt though. This is the only skincare product I've changed recently, but there could be other causes, so I'll keep using it for a few more days. +2020.08.26 Updating my review after using this product for another week: The hive-like bumps would disappear only to reappear in different areas. I only changed the toner in my usual routine. But then, the hives completely vanished. This kind of redness was a first for me... I usually use a dry skin toner with oily skin emulsion and cream, so this product, being a slightly richer toner for dry skin, seemed fine at first. But I won't be using it again... If you don't experience hives, it might be a good product for you.
Cons👎 양쪽 뺨에 붉게 올라오네요. 제 피부가 약간 예민한 편이라 뾰루지나 여드름은 절대 아닌 두드러기같은 게 올라오네요.. 양 볼에 홍조끼가 있는 편이고 오타도 있는데 그 주변에 뻘겋게 몇 개씩 올라와요ㅠ 아프진않구요 최근에 화장품 바꾼 건 이거밖에 없는데 다른 원인일 수도 있으니 며칠 더 써봐야겠어요 +2020.08.26 이제품 일주일 더써보고 리뷰수정해요 두드러기같은게 사라지면 다시 다른 부분에 올라오고를 반복해 원래 하던 루틴에 토너만 바꿔봤거든요. 근데 정말 두드러기가 쏙 들어가더라고요ㅠ 빨갛게 되는 이런 증상은 처음이었습니다.. 제가 토너만 건성용을 쓰고 나머지 로션, 크림을 지성용으로 써서 이 제품이 유분기 있는 건성용토너로 괜찮았는데 다신 안쓸것같네요... 두드러기안올라오시면 괜찮은 제품인것 같습니다.
TipIn summer, I keep my skincare products in the fridge (not the food fridge). Occasionally, I'll soak a 5-ply cotton pad with the toner and use it as a mask. It seems to have a cooling effect and helps with dryness - it's great!

Ingredients & Skin Reactions Disappointingly, it's not composed of only skin-friendly ingredients. For unknown reasons, I started experiencing blemishes around day 3 of use. My skin felt sensitive and heated... Those with super sensitive or very oily skin should patch test before full use. 2. Fragrance While the scent might be divisive, it wasn't particularly off-putting to me. However, as I usually use fragrance-free products, having any scent felt irritating, so personally, I disliked it. 3. Price Considering both volume and effectiveness, it doesn't offer great value for money. With so many affordable yet high-quality products available these days, the full price feels a bit steep and might make me hesitate to repurchase.
Cons1.성분 & 트러블 착한 성분들로만 구성되어 있지 않은 점이 아쉬웠어요. 뭐가 문제인지는 알 수 없지만 사용 3일차 정도부터 트러블이 올라왔어요ㅠㅠ 예민해져서인지 열감도 느껴지고... 민감성 피부나 극지성 피부이신 분들은 테스트 후에 사용하셔야 할 것 같습니다. 2.향 호불호가 있겠지만 저에게도 크게 거부감드는 향은 아니었는데 주로 무향제품들을 사용하다보니 향이 있는 제품자체가 자극으로 느껴져서 개인적으로는 불호였어요. 3.가격 용량으로 보나 제품력으로 보나 가격적으로 크게 메리트 있는 제품은 아닌 것 같아요. 요즘 워낙 저렴하고 좋은 제품들이 많다 보니 정가 기준으로 선뜻 구매하기엔 부담되거나 재구매도 망설여질듯한 가격이에요.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but I found it works better as a hydrating toner rather than an exfoliating one. Also, it seems like those with dry skin might be more satisfied with this product than those with oily skin!

As someone with acne-prone skin, I wanted to use this product for an extended period to determine if any breakouts were due to the product or not. That's why I'm posting this review after thorough testing! The package included a booklet, cotton pads, and the main product. Although it was my first time encountering this brand, my initial impression was that it looked clean and had a pretty design - it felt like receiving a gift! The amount dispensed is just right, so there were no difficulties in use. At first, I thought the bottle was glass, but it's actually quite sturdy, showing that they put care into its production. ✔ The scent is reminiscent of grass, herbs, and fruit peels. While this kind of fragrance might be divisive, I personally enjoy it. It gave me the impression that the product would be really good, so I was satisfied with the scent. ✔ True to its name as an 'essence toner', the texture is between a viscous essence and a watery toner - perhaps best described as a runny consistency. It feels quite hydrating and somewhat moisturizing. When first applied, it glides on smoothly, almost as if it contains oil, but quickly dries to a soft finish. ✔ My final thoughts: I wouldn't recommend this to those who already have acne-prone skin and struggle with persistent blemishes regardless of the products they use. Given that it provides hydration while also feeling moisturizing, it seems more suitable for dry skin types rather than oily skin.
ConsI developed blemishes around my mouth area where I didn't have any before... At first, I thought it might be due to wearing a mask, but I usually get breakouts on my cheeks, not around my mouth. It seems likely that it's because of this product. Since there are ingredients that can trigger blemishes, I'd recommend those with acne-prone skin to avoid it.
TipGiven the viscous texture of the product, I think it would be more effective to use it as a pack with thin cotton pads.

With super sensitive skin that's slow to heal, I've been hesitant to switch up my skincare routine. For 5 years, I've stuck to the same basic products (toner, emulsion, moisturizer) out of fear of blemishes. Two years ago, I added an essence for extra hydration. Even after winning, I was a bit nervous to try a new product. I did a patch test on my inner arm the day before, and when there was no reaction, I decided to give it a go. Usually, I apply toner twice, followed by essence, emulsion, and cream for hydration. With this product, applying it twice provided enough moisture that I could skip the essence step. It offers both hydration and a slight richness. I think this would be perfect for those who want a more moisturizing option without adding an extra essence to their routine. For me, applying it twice felt a bit heavy in the current humid weather, so I've been using it just once after toner. If you typically layer your toner multiple times, you might want to consider that before using this product. (The texture is a bit heavier than watery, so you can probably tell it might feel heavy with multiple applications!) It's been a while since I've changed up my skincare routine, so I'll update with any changes or tips after using it for a longer period!
ConsGiven my sensitive skin, I did experience some blemishes. While my patch test on my arm was fine, I developed a pimple on my forehead after about 3 days. However, when I reduced application from twice to once, it started to clear up. If you have extremely sensitive skin, I'd recommend trying a sample first to see how your skin reacts.

I don't want to continue using it for long...
ConsNot only did I get blemishes, but I also developed a lot of small, bumpy pimples. Lagom is a brand I usually like, so I'm really disappointed by this... Maybe because I had high expectations, but it was really not good at all. I think my super sensitive skin means I can't just use anything. The Lagom foam cleanser is good though, so I'll leave a review for that instead.

With my dry skin, I applied multiple layers, but the hydration doesn't seem to last long. My mother, in her 50s, also tried it and felt it lacked richness. I think this would work well for those with combination or oily skin types who don't have super sensitive skin.
ConsAt first, it feels incredibly moisturizing, but the hydration evaporates quickly, leaving my skin feeling dry. Having extremely sensitive skin, I experienced a tingling sensation when applying it right after cleansing. Later, when I looked in the mirror, I noticed my skin had turned red. I realize this product probably wasn't specifically formulated for sensitive skin, so I'm trying to be understanding.

The texture isn't sticky at all, and I've noticed an improvement in my skin texture.
ConsWhile using this, I've had a few blemishes pop up, and in the last few days, more appeared on my cheeks and forehead. (Though this could be due to my skin becoming sensitive from suddenly switching products.) Because of this, I can't definitively say whether it prevents blemishes completely or helps them heal.
TipThe cotton pads from Lagom are so soft that they don't irritate my skin when I use them. Occasionally doing a skin pack with this seems beneficial.

The texture isn't your typical watery formula, but rather has a slightly viscous consistency. As the name suggests, it's incredibly hydrating! I think the viscosity contributes to that moisturizing effect.
ConsAs someone with super sensitive skin, I experienced a burning sensation and some itching, unfortunately.
