Usually, water-based toners can actually make my face feel dry, but this one doesn't have that effect.
Cons- Insufficient moisturizing power While it's more hydrating compared to other toners, the product itself isn't particularly moisturizing. It is an essence after all. Compared to typical essences, it's not hydrating at all. It's in an awkward position - too expensive to use liberally as a toner, but not effective enough to use as an essence. - It irritates my eyes I was using it since I had already bought it, but whenever I use this product alone, my eyes feel irritated. At first, I thought it was just fatigue, but when I don't use it, my eyes don't sting. It's definitely because of this product.
TipI recommend it as an alternative if you're looking for a hydrating toner.

However, it's a bit tricky because you use this as a toner and then still need an essence. It's not quite moisturizing enough to replace both toner and essence in one go. Still, it's a solid choice that doesn't cause blemishes and is easy to use without any fuss.
ConsI didn't really notice much of a 'boosting' effect. The glass bottle makes it a bit heavy, if anything.

In spring, fall, and winter, it works great as a toner substitute. In summer, I often use it as my sole moisturizer. It's been fantastic for improving skin texture and hydration without causing any blemishes. The formula absorbs well into the skin while maintaining a dewy finish, and it doesn't interfere with makeup application.
ConsThe sweet fig scent might be polarizing for some users. Also, if you have very oily skin, you might find it a bit rich during the hot summer months.

What's great is that even when I apply a generous amount, it doesn't cause any blemishes on my skin.
ConsThe only downside was that it's a bit pricey, but that issue has been resolved since you can buy it at a discount on Hwahae.
TipIt's also fantastic when used as a mask. While it's good to just let it absorb, I find that using it as a mask seems to have an even better soothing effect.

It's moisturizing without being sticky and seems to effectively combat deep dryness. My skin is sensitive and prone to redness, and I usually break out quickly from pore-clogging ingredients, but I've been using this without any issues, keeping my skin hydrated.
ConsWith the changing seasons lately, my oil and moisture balance has been off, causing small bumps on my cheeks and chin. Even after using this as a toner pack, I didn't really feel much of a soothing effect, so I deducted one star.
TipFor better hydration, you can layer it twice or soak a cotton pad with the product and gently pat it onto your skin after cleansing to really boost the moisture levels.

It allows me to streamline my skincare routine a bit. No blemishes appeared, and it seems to suit my skin perfectly!
ConsAt first, I was put off by the medicinal scent, reminiscent of a plaster. However, I got used to it eventually. The main drawback is the price - it's quite steep for the amount you get, which is disappointing.

ConsThere are no downsides... While I'm not sure about its effectiveness in soothing blemishes, I'm extremely satisfied that it doesn't cause any
TipApply generously and get a good night's sleep for best results

It's an essence that really helps combat deep dryness.
ConsI was disappointed that the texture wasn't quite what I prefer. For my first skincare step after cleansing, I like products that leave my face feeling fresh and balanced. This one, while hydrating, felt a bit like it was creating a film on my skin, which I didn't love.
TipThose who prefer a moisturizing feel will likely be satisfied with this product. I recommend patting it in with your hands rather than using it as an exfoliating toner.

It's wonderfully hydrating with just the right balance of oil and moisture, making it perfect for combating deep dryness and maintaining hydration. It absorbs quickly and is so gentle that it didn't cause any blemishes! As someone with super sensitive skin, I've struggled to find a moisturizing toner that doesn't irritate my skin, but this one is truly amazing!
ConsA few downsides: 1. The price is quite steep... and the volume you get for that price is rather small. Sigh. 2. Limited quantity - I wish they'd offer a larger size at a discounted price! 3. It could use a bit more hydration.
TipIt works great as an absorbing toner to tackle deep dryness!

I've struggled to find a toner that works for me. Water-based ones left me dry, while gel types clogged my pores or made my forehead super shiny. Everything seemed to cause blemishes. My dermatologist advised against water toners, saying they'd make things worse, so I stuck to just using creams like TheLab by blanc doux. While this prevented breakouts, my skin had zero glow and I'd still get the occasional big pimple. I've given away at least 20 bottles of toners that didn't work for me to friends. I was hesitant to try another, thinking 'If it doesn't work, oh well...' But after watching Hwahae's video, I decided to give it a shot. And wow, what a game-changer! No blemishes at all, and my skin even has a glow now. Inspired by this success, I've added TheLab by blanc doux emulsion to my routine. Now I use toner > emulsion > cream - that's it! I'm too scared to try anything else. My skin hasn't looked this good in 7 years!
ConsThe bottle is small yet heavy, and the screw-on cap is inconvenient. I wish they offered a larger size with a pump. I'll keep using it despite the weight, but please, please don't discontinue this product! I beg you, keep it in production!
TipI use this as an exfoliating toner. You'll notice a difference in your skin after 2-3 days of use.
