I found that using it alongside other pore-targeting products seemed to maximize its effectiveness in regulating excess sebum production!
ConsAs someone with super sensitive skin, I found it too irritating to use. It stung quite a bit and had a strong alcohol scent. Compared to other toners, it seemed to dry much faster, and despite being a water-based toner, it left a sticky, thin film on my skin. Overall, the finish wasn't pleasant for me.

ConsI think this toner is well-suited for oily skin types. However, the alcohol content is quite noticeable...

First off, I felt it was a truly effective toner for smoothing out dead skin cells and removing excess oil and sebum.
ConsThere seems to be a slight alcohol scent, which made me hesitant to use it as a cotton pad mask. The hydration doesn't feel particularly intense.
TipIt's also refreshing and nice to use on body acne or other areas of the body.

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 have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry U-zone. I've got some small bumps on my forehead and butterfly zone. On the first day, I used this exfoliating toner all over my face and didn't feel any tingling sensation! However, due to the alcohol scent, I don't think I can use it daily, so I changed my routine to about 4 times a week. After consistent use, I can definitely say it helps control sebum - I notice less oil around my nose area! As for the small bumps, while I'm not sure about their calming effect, they haven't gotten worse!
ConsWell, don't expect dramatic results right after using it! I used it when I didn't have many severe blemishes, so that might be why I didn't see any notable effects. Also, the alcohol scent is stronger than expected, so those sensitive to fragrances should keep that in mind!
TipThere's a reason they included cotton pads with the shipment. While I usually prefer pat-on toners, this is an exfoliating toner, folks. It's meant to be used as a swipe-on toner.

Dry on the cheeks, with some oil production on the nose and forehead. Small bumps on the forehead, whiteheads on the chin, and dead skin cells on the nose. I received this product for free through the Hwahae Testers program. While a review isn't mandatory, I wanted to share my honest thoughts about the product I used. It's excellent at removing dead skin cells. The area around my nose tends to accumulate sebum and flakes, but it quickly cleans up when I use this with a cotton pad. For a toner labeled as 'Fresh' that exfoliates, it's surprisingly hydrating. After using this to prep my skin, I can get away with just applying cream. After exfoliating well and keeping my skin moisturized, I noticed a reduction in the whiteheads on my chin and the small bumps on my forehead. The cotton pads that came as part of the set are great. They're soft yet don't fall apart easily, making them perfect for facial cleansing. They're not chemically processed and don't contain fluorescent materials, which means less irritation from the cotton pads themselves.
ConsThe scent is quite alarming at first sniff - it has a strong alcohol smell that makes you worry it might strip all the moisture from your skin. Surprisingly, though, it feels hydrating when applied. The ingredients list isn't great. It contains potential allergens and aromatic oils or citrus extracts, which might be problematic for those with super sensitive skin. I liked how the product worked, but after checking the ingredients, I probably won't repurchase it. I started using it all over my face morning and night, but the ingredients seemed too harsh, so I switched to using it only in the mornings, focusing on areas with dead skin cells and excess sebum like my nose, chin, and forehead. I only use it occasionally on my cheeks. I had a dry, slightly cracked area next to my nose. Thinking it was just dead skin, I applied this product and nearly screamed from the burning sensation.
TipI'm not sure if the cotton pads are typically included or sold separately, but using them together enhances the experience. Those with sensitive skin should probably avoid this product.

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 extremely satisfied with the generous size - it's a beast of a bottle that lets you use it liberally. Since I've been staying home more lately, I haven't been as thorough with cleansing as when I wear makeup, which led to increased sebum production. But after using this product, my skin feels noticeably smoother and the excess oil seems less visible. As someone with dry skin, I was experiencing a 'dead skin cells party' this winter, but after using this product once, the flakiness has definitely calmed down. I'm really impressed with how well it delivers on its promises of controlling sebum production and removing dead skin cells! Texture: It's a watery toner that flows easily. Feel: Very refreshing, with no sticky residue after wiping. Scent: There's a slight alcohol smell, but no distinct fragrance otherwise. If you're concerned about excess oil and dead skin cells, I highly recommend this product! You can really feel the difference in how it calms down sebum production and flakiness. In summary: An excellent toner for those with oily skin! However, it might be too drying and potentially irritating for those with dry or super sensitive skin.
Cons- Since it contains ethanol, I was startled when I accidentally wiped it over a small cut - it stung so much! Please be careful to avoid any areas with cuts or wounds! - To be honest, it's too drying for those with dry skin to use in winter. This toner is more suitable for oily skin types! If you have dry skin but are using it for dead skin cell removal, you might need to pair it with another hydrating toner. Alternatively, you could follow up with a rich serum or cream! - Due to the ethanol content, this toner might be too harsh for those with super sensitive skin to use daily. However, using it once every 2-3 days could provide effective skin care without overburdening your 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.ProsIt seems like an easy way to remove dead skin cells. The texture is really nice and easy to apply. After application, it feels so moisturizing and smooth! It absorbs really quickly too! On days when my skin isn't super sensitive, I didn't feel any irritation at all! I applied it with a cotton pad and it glided on smoothly! The scent is fresh, like grass...? Or maybe alcohol...? But it didn't bother me! It's great for controlling excess oil! I used to feel little bumps of sebum around my nose and cheeks, but after using this toner, it's so smooth... Since I have dry skin, this might be a plus for others! It really eliminates oiliness... It's winter so my skin is even drier, and it really gets rid of any oiliness... It might be good to use in hot and humid weather like summer! When I use it regularly, I only apply it at night and then slather on another cream before bed, which works well!
ConsThe product has a slightly high pH, and since I'm in my pre-menstrual phase with some blemishes, it stung a lot on troubled areas and if it got in my eyes! I also have a sun allergy, so on sensitive days it was quite tingling... However, on days when my skin wasn't sensitive, it was fine! The watery texture made it easy to apply and it felt super hydrating, but since I have dry skin, it absorbed quickly and left a tight feeling... That's when I felt the stickiness that others mentioned? But it wasn't too bothersome and disappeared when I applied other skincare products! When used alone, it felt a bit lacking in moisture, so I applied cream along with it and that worked well. I didn't notice much change in my pores... I think I need to use it more to see results!
TipAs I mentioned before, it has a water-like texture and is super hydrating, making it perfect for a toner mask routine! These days, with winter making my skin so dry, I soak a cotton pad generously, place it on my face, then apply cream before bed. The next day, my makeup goes on so well, it's amazing!

When I heard about this toner that manages sebum and dead skin cells, I was really excited to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers. After trying it myself, I realized that toners for oily skin are perfect for me. With winter bringing both flaky skin and excess oil, this toner was just what I needed. After application, it feels cool and firm on the skin, probably due to its active ingredients. I used to apply a whitehead-controlling ampoule once or twice a week, but with this toner, I don't need to anymore. It's definitely a great toner for oily skin! It feels hydrating when applied and leaves my skin feeling firm afterwards.
ConsLike with all cosmetics, there wasn't a dramatic change. While it seems to reduce oiliness, it doesn't completely eliminate it, and I still get some blemishes. However, I'm satisfied with these results!
TipThe cooling sensation doubles when you keep it in the fridge!

It really seems to help with sebum control. True to being an exfoliating toner, it applies cleanly without leaving a thin residue, and I love how it finishes with a fresh feel. The combination of cotton pads and toner is absolutely fantastic. While it might be too light to use as a watery toner, it's perfect as an exfoliating toner right after cleansing. I soak a cotton pad and gently wipe areas with blackheads and excess sebum like the nose and chin. Then, I pat it on once more, which helps reduce oiliness and leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth.
ConsWhile its refreshing quality is a plus, it can also be a drawback. For those with dry skin, it might be too light to use in the dead of winter. Dry skin types can benefit from toners that leave a slightly oily residue, but this one disappears completely, which can be a bit disappointing.
TipCombining the pros and cons of this product, here's what I recommend: After your initial cleanse, use a cotton pad soaked in the toner to gently wipe areas prone to excess sebum, focusing on the nose and chin. Then, use a fresh pad to smooth over your entire face for overall skin texture improvement. Follow up with a rich toner, serum, and cream for best results. The cotton pads that come in the set are fantastic - they're so soft and cause absolutely no irritation. I'm considering making these my go-to pads. As I've consistently experienced, this toner is all about that fresh feel! It's perfect for those with oily skin or for use in spring and summer. For winter use or dry skin types, I recommend using it once for sebum control, then following up with a richer toner for a final touch.
