The fragrance was lovely, though I had hoped it would last until morning as some reviews suggested. Unfortunately, the scent fades rather quickly. Now that I'm in my 40s, I've found that regular toners just don't cut it anymore. I tried the Laneige Cream Skin, but it caused blemishes. So, I was on the hunt for a slightly more rich toner. I think I've finally found an oil-infused toner that I love! I've been using it without any issues. The deep dryness has significantly improved, and it absorbs well even when I apply multiple layers after cleansing. What I appreciate most is that it's not overly rich - it just perfectly addresses the dryness without being too much.
ConsSince I use it with cotton pads, it runs out quite quickly. Considering the price isn't particularly budget-friendly, that's a bit disappointing.

I was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers, so I'm sharing my review after using this product. The toner comes in a beautiful glass bottle with a pretty strawberry milk color. When I first used it, I loved the strong rose scent - it felt like real roses to me. It put me in a good mood every time I used it. Previously, even after applying two or three layers of hyaluronic acid toner, I couldn't completely resolve my deep dryness. But with this toner, just one application makes my skin feel very comfortable. It definitely tackles deep dryness without feeling greasy or slippery, which I really appreciate. I have super sensitive skin and often experience blemishes even with products advertised as suitable for sensitive skin. However, this product didn't cause any blemishes. Personally, I found the feel similar to Etude's Soon Jung toner, but the Soon Jung toner felt a bit heavy and oily when applied, and didn't fully address deep dryness. This product, on the other hand, perfectly resolves deep dryness while keeping my skin hydrated without feeling heavy or oily.
ConsI think it might feel a bit heavy for those with extremely oily skin. It seems like it would be good for combination dehydrated skin in winter.
TipSince it resolves deep dryness without needing multiple applications, I've been applying it with a cotton pad or my hands to help it absorb.

The packaging and visuals are absolutely perfect. Usage experience: As a treatment toner, it has a smooth application and absorbs well, seeming to tackle deep dryness. Usually, a few minutes after applying toner, my face doesn't feel that moisturized when I touch it. But this product feels even more hydrating than the highly-rated Laneige Cream Skin. In a nutshell: It's incredibly hydrating! Scent: I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, but personally, I didn't mind this one.
ConsIt contains eight potential allergens... Perhaps that's why it feels a bit tingly after application. I've never had blemishes before, but after using this toner, I noticed some redness. Warning: Not recommended for those with acne-prone skin. While everything else is great, the ingredients list is really disappointing. I'd love to use it daily, but I think I'll have to space out my usage.

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.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers: 1. Hydration As it's a treatment toner with an oil layer, it provided essence-level moisture. It was so hydrating that I could use just this toner and cream without other skincare steps. Especially as it's getting colder, my makeup was flaking and my skin was dry and irritated, but since using this toner, the flaking has disappeared. Instead, my skin looks good with a dewy glow. Because my skin became more hydrated, my makeup also lasted longer. 2. Gentle I was a bit worried when I saw it had 8 potential allergens, but when I read the product box, it said the ingredients marked with 2) were derived from natural oils. So I used it without much concern. My sensitive skin didn't have any particular reaction. It felt very gentle to use. There was no stinging sensation, no itching after application, and my skin didn't break out (though my forehead and cheeks reacted slightly differently, I'll explain in detail in the cons). 3. Quantity Although it has a consistency close to a watery toner due to its excellent hydrating power, a small amount is sufficient, so it doesn't feel wasteful at all. In fact, I thought the quantity was generous. The official price is 35,000 won, which isn't cheap, but considering the amount I used over two weeks and its essence-like effects, I personally think it's quite reasonable. 4. Scent This is very personal, but I loved the fresh rose scent. When I apply it before bed and lie down, it has a subtle, natural rose fragrance, not an artificial one, which makes me feel relaxed.
Cons1. As moisturizing as it is, it's oily (heavy) I saw really good results using this product on my cheeks and dry U-zone. The dead skin cells that were flaking off all settled down, and the blemishes that were appearing due to dryness also subsided. However, on my forehead, it actually caused more blemishes. I think this product was a bit too much for my forehead. Since I can just avoid applying it to my forehead, I don't consider this a major drawback. Those with oily skin should be cautious. 2. Ingredients Although the potential allergens are said to be derived from natural oils, it still made me a bit uneasy before use. In the end, it didn't cause any skin issues, so it was fine. I'm listing this as a con because people who are sensitive to these ingredients should be careful.
TipUsing cotton pads like Silcot (or similar high-quality ones that are now widely available in our country too) for padding can give you great results! Especially for calming dead skin cells, giving skin a glow, and helping makeup apply better!!!!

It felt like I was applying real roses, which lifted my mood every time I used it. Tackles deep dryness: As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to deep dryness and tightness in the cheeks, this toner addressed these issues that even emulsions couldn't solve. It also seemed to have a calming effect, as I noticed a reduction in the burning sensation on my cheeks. Application feel: I was worried it might be too rich, but it's not overly heavy. It's definitely more oil-based than a water toner though. I deliberately avoided applying it to areas prone to sebum production, like around the nose. Adorable packaging: It's just a short, frosted glass bottle with strawberry milk-colored liquid inside, but it's become a minimalist decor piece. It adds a touch of style to my desk - even my roommates asked about it because of the packaging!
ConsThe color and bottle slightly remind me of a high-end version of the toners you'd find in saunas! Also, there's a bit of a sticky residue left on cheeks and hands after application, similar to those sauna toners... It's not as extreme as what you'd find in a sauna, so it's still usable. If you dislike that sauna toner feeling, keep this in mind. I'd recommend this for those with dry or combination dehydrated skin. It's also great for people dealing with deep dryness.

First off, the scent is lovely! It has a floral soap fragrance, so there's nothing off-putting when using it. The pleasant aroma lingers throughout my skincare routine, which I really appreciate as someone who dislikes products with unpleasant scents. 2. My skin is slightly dry, and since this product contains oil, it feels both hydrating and rich. There's no deep dryness, and my skin feels firmer! When I look in the mirror, there's a subtle glow, making me think it would pair well with dewy makeup looks if applied before foundation (unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to try this yet). 3. The container's opening is just the right size, making it easy to control the amount of product used! 4. After applying this product, while it's not a dramatic difference, I noticed my complexion looked subtly brighter.
Cons1. The scent is a bit strong, which might not appeal to everyone. 2. The glass container makes it slightly heavy to handle. 3. Some of the ingredients are a bit concerning. 4. I experienced a slight tingling sensation when applying it to areas with acne scars on my forehead.
TipI recommend layering this product multiple times rather than using it as an exfoliating toner. It feels like it's really absorbing into the skin. Also, since the product feels more oil-rich, I'd recommend it more for those with dry skin rather than oily skin types!

It reminds me of strawberry milk, so cute! The frosted glass bottle adds to its beauty and gives off an eco-friendly vibe. Rather than using it like a regular toner with a cotton pad, I found it works better as a soothing pack. Just soak a cotton pad and leave it on your face like a mini-mask. The texture isn't super light due to the oil layer, which is perfect for this method. This is ideal for those with dry, dehydrated skin prone to deep dryness. As someone with oily skin, I did experience a few blemishes, unfortunately.
ConsIt's too rich for my liking. It's difficult to use as a regular toner.
TipPro tip: Use the 5-layer cotton pads from Olive Young as a mini-mask on areas prone to makeup separation in winter, like cheeks or chin. Apply it before makeup for a smoother application and better adherence!
