I have combination dehydrated skin, and sometimes when I use products that are too rich, I tend to break out. However, with this product, I didn't experience any blemishes. It's perfect for lightly balancing my skin after cleansing and before applying other products.
ConsI didn't particularly notice this, but I've heard that the scent might be polarizing for some people. It didn't bother me at all though.
TipSince this is a lightweight product, it's great to occasionally soak a thin cotton pad with it and use it as a mask for added hydration. Alternatively, I sometimes like to apply an extra layer on my face for more moisture.

It seems great for soothing the skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that responds well to Houttuynia Cordata, I experienced no irritation, and its calming effect is as good as Houttuynia Cordata itself! The watery consistency makes it perfect as an exfoliating toner, leaving my skin feeling refined. It's excellent as a toner. Plus, the herbal, grassy scent is natural rather than artificial, making it pleasant to use.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it might be a bit drying for those with very dry skin due to its ultra-light texture.
TipI used it as an exfoliating toner. I applied it with a cotton pad to refine my skin texture, then patted in the remaining product for absorption. On days when my skin felt dry or irritated, I applied an extra layer by hand like a skin, followed by essence and moisturizer. This routine worked perfectly for my combination dehydrated skin!

First off, I have dry skin, and lately I've been experiencing breakouts here and there. I switched only this toner in my usual routine and used it for about a week. It's not a sticky or overly moisturizing formula, but rather a watery texture that's perfect for wiping on. It refines the skin texture while leaving a fresh finish. I looked into the ingredients, and they seem gentle. I didn't experience any blemishes or redness while using it. I've seen comments about the scent being divisive, but I actually liked it. It has a subtle, clean fragrance that reminds me of mugwort, which I found quite pleasant.
ConsI think this product is best suited as an exfoliating toner, and it's not really meant to provide deep hydration for dry skin. You'll need to supplement that moisture with other creams or skincare products. Also, it's worth noting that you might end up using it quite generously. For me, it wasn't an exceptionally good or bad toner. If the price were lower, it would be a good choice as an exfoliating toner.

This is my first time using a low pH product, and whether it's due to the low pH or the centella asiatica ingredient, my skin texture has really improved. The best part is that it doesn't cause deep dryness. When I first used it, I was curious if it would cause severe inner dryness, so I applied only the toner and observed for 10 minutes. Surprisingly, there was no tightness at all, and my skin actually became softer! I could honestly just use this alone when I'm at home. I kept it in the refrigerator, and the cool, refreshing feeling after application was amazing. My redness has also improved significantly. I think the cooling effect really helped with calming my skin. Skin Type My skin type is extremely dehydrated - after washing my face, if I don't apply toner, my skin shrinks and white dead skin cells appear. I also get frequent milia that come and go daily, along with severe redness. Moreover, I have extremely oily skin, so on days when I'm just at home, I need to wash my face three times a day - morning, afternoon, and evening. Storage and Usage I put it in the refrigerator as soon as I received it. I used it twice a day, once after waking up and once before bed. To see if there was a difference between using cotton pads or not, I used cotton pads for days 1-3 and applied it directly with my hands for days 4-6. In the end, there wasn't much difference. However, using cotton pads felt cooler and seemed to apply better, so I continued using cotton pads afterwards. Texture, Amount, and Design The texture is watery and has a green tint. It would be great to use as a mask by soaking cotton pads with it. The 200ml bottle should last over a year if used moderately with cotton pads. Personally, I liked the clean design. Absorption and Hydration I'm very, very satisfied with this toner's absorption and hydration. As mentioned above, I think absorption is its strong point. Unlike other products that felt sticky and made me want to wipe them off after a few minutes due to excess oil, this one had a very fresh finish. So I recommend this to those who need a hydrating toner with a fresh finish! Application Because of its watery texture, it absorbs well into cotton pads. If you soak the pad properly, it applies smoothly. Be careful when using it directly with your hands as it can easily drip. The bottle opening seems designed for use with cotton pads, so I recommend using them. Recommended Skin Types I have sensitive, oily skin, and my sister has dry skin. We both used it to see its effects on different skin types. We were both very satisfied, so I think it's suitable for all skin types!
ConsBlemish Effects The product description says it's good for blemishes, but I think this toner's strength lies more in soothing. While the soothing ingredients showed immediate effects on reducing redness, I'm not sure about its impact on acne yet. I observed for two weeks, but acne kept appearing as usual. So I think I need to use it a bit longer to know if it has any effect on acne reduction. +Update It's been a week since I wrote this review, and I still don't see any effects on acne. Acne keeps appearing as usual. Note Both my sister and I noticed that our lips became drier than usual after applying the toner. So we always need to apply lip balm after using the toner.
TipAbsolutely!!! Make sure to store it in the refrigerator when using it!

Never really felt the need, you know? But after winning this test, I dug out some cotton pads and gave this exfoliating toner a try for about two weeks. I have to say, my skin texture definitely became smoother and felt great! While I can't claim this product is superior to others, it's incredibly gentle and I've been using it without any blemishes or issues. And the best part? The scent! It's not an artificial fragrance, but more of a natural aroma. When I apply it to my face after washing, the scent just puts me in such a good mood! It makes my skincare routine something to look forward to. I'm thinking of buying another bottle when I finish this one!
ConsI didn't expect much hydration to begin with, but it is a bit lacking in that department. It is just a toner after all. Also, I didn't feel like it was significantly better than other products.
TipAfter using the exfoliating toner, if you pat it in one more time, your skin feels super soft and nice!

I didn't even expect to become a Hwahae Tester, I just applied for the event because the ingredients looked good and then forgot about it. I'm so thrilled to have been selected!! I'll write a really honest review! I thought the product I was using before was very moisturizing and soothing, but this one is even better. The calming effect is amazing, and I can feel my skin texture improving significantly. Apart from one serum from another brand, I've never used a product that improved my skin texture this much. I keep my old product as a backup, but I always reach for this one. I highly recommend it for those with super sensitive skin or blemishes!! I'm sure many of you are dealing with mask-related skin issues these days. I wear a mask for hours every day at work, but since using this, it's helped so much with calming blemishes that they don't even appear now. It's like it gently soothes and balances my skin before breakouts can happen... For those who are hesitating, you must try it! I've tried almost everything except the Dokdo Toner, so after finishing this, I'll have to try that one and compare.
ConsHmm... Downsides... There really aren't any... If you're looking for a super hydrating toner, this isn't it. It absorbs quickly and gives a refreshing, soothing feeling. There's a slight herbal scent, but even though I'm sensitive to fragrances, I liked it... I don't think it'll be polarizing. So... in conclusion... there aren't really any downsides.
TipUsing it with a cotton pad soaked in the product worked best for me! Gently patting it along the skin's texture is perfect.

My skin was struggling with redness and tons of tiny blemishes on my forehead and cheeks. I even had a few inflamed spots. I used it morning and night after cleansing, gently wiping with a cotton pad in the direction of my skin texture. The results? My sister actually commented on how much better my skin looked! Those angry blemishes calmed down, my skin texture improved dramatically, and my makeup started going on like a dream. It's been a game-changer for me. Oh, and did I mention? My redness, which was pretty intense before, has significantly decreased too!
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss for some people. I had my sister try it, and she really disliked the smell. It's got this sharp, almost mouthwash-like scent that might not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, heads up: for the first couple of days, I noticed an increase in inflamed blemishes. I was worried it wasn't agreeing with my skin, but thankfully, things settled down after that. For about 5 days after application, I experienced a slight tingling sensation. It would subside after about 5 minutes, which I didn't mind, but if you're sensitive to that cooling, slightly stinging feeling, you might want to proceed with caution.
TipPro tips: You can use it as a mask by soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on your skin for a bit. Before applying makeup, try wiping your face with it, then pat a bit more into your skin with your palms. It leaves your skin feeling bouncy and creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Don't be alarmed if you see an increase in blemishes at first - give it about a week. For most, including me, those blemishes and tiny bumps start to clear up. If you're still having issues after a week, though, it might not be the right fit for your skin.
