While it doesn't completely calm everything down in just one day, by the third day you can definitely feel it settling and soothing your skin. I love that the ingredients are great and it's not just another water-based toner. The lightweight texture makes it perfect for layering!
ConsI have a rather sensitive nose, and I noticed a somewhat peculiar scent. However, after experiencing its calming effects, I found I could tolerate it. Plus, the fragrance dissipates about an hour after application, so it's not a big issue.

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: Reviewer's skin type: (Low hydration, High oil) You can consider it as extremely combination dehydrated & super sensitive skin. Reviewer's skin condition: Continuous mask-wearing and lack of sleep have led to various blemishes appearing in different areas. However, recent diet changes and use of aqua peeling device & massager have helped. Product: [One Thing Houttuynia Cordata Extract] Price: [16,000 KRW] Volume: [300ml] - The volume isn't particularly generous for the price Value for money: [About 53 KRW per 1ml] Overall rating: (4.0 stars) Likelihood to repurchase: (80%) I'd definitely buy it during a sale, along with other products from the same brand. I'd use half as a soothing mask or toner, and put the other half in a mist bottle to use with other products.
Cons✔The volume isn't particularly generous for the price. ✔It dries quickly, perhaps due to its fast absorption. ✔The effects aren't dramatic. ✔Compared to other Houttuynia Cordata products, the unpleasant scent isn't as strong and doesn't linger long, but personally, I found the product's unique scent to be a drawback. ✔While the shelf life is a generous 2 years from the manufacturing date, it should be used within 6 months after opening. This feels a bit short for someone who uses multiple toners at once. (If used alone, the volume should be sufficient to use within 6 months!) ✔This isn't a flaw of the product itself, but the Big Pad that came with it seemed to have very poor absorption. (For those with sensitive skin and those who dislike wasting skincare products, I recommend not using it with watery toners.)

I liked that it has a watery texture and absorbs well. I didn't experience any blemishes at all. I'll need to observe a bit longer to see its effect on the small bumps. When used alone, it can be drying, so you definitely need another product to balance oil and moisture.
ConsThe scent initially reminds me of sweet bean jelly or herbal medicine, but there's a slight fishy smell at the end. The fishy odor disappears quickly, which was fine for me personally.

ConsThe scent is really hard to get used to, though it seems to dissipate quickly.

Absorption: After applying to the face and gently patting, it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated. Effects: Effectively cools down the face. I also use it as an exfoliating toner. While it doesn't show as visible results as dedicated exfoliating pads or toners, it does help reduce small bumps. - I've finished a 300ml bottle and am using it again. Great value for money and decent effectiveness, so I'm 100% planning to repurchase.
ConsThe scent! It has a 'healthy' smell. However, once absorbed, the fragrance dissipates quickly, so it's not a big issue.

I quickly grabbed this when it was on sale. I bought three bottles and decanted them for use as a mist. It feels great - so hydrating! I'm grateful and will make good use of it.
ConsIt's good, but if I had to point out a downside, the scent might be hit or miss for some people. However, the fragrance dissipates quickly.
TipI spritz it generously whenever my skin feels dry.

Being a concentrated serum, it absorbs quickly without any stickiness.
ConsThe scent... the scent isn't great! It's like fermented fish sauce? Or herbal medicine? Fortunately, it dissipates quickly, so you only need to endure it briefly during application.

Then I tried the One Thing Houttuynia Cordata Extract, and while it wasn't a miracle cure, I could feel and see it gradually improving the situation! My skin type is combination dehydrated. I know One Thing can be mixed with creams or other skincare products, but I used it as an exfoliating toner on its own! After cleansing, I applied it generously on a pad and used it as an exfoliating toner, then did a second pass, leaving it on my forehead before moving to the next step. I keep my routine simple with just toner, serum, and emulsion. With the current weather, I'm not experiencing any tightness, and it gives me exactly the feeling I want. I really like it! I plan to use it more and repurchase.
ConsThe scent was a bit disappointing for me, but it doesn't linger, so it wasn't a major issue or too overwhelming.

I didn't think I needed mugwort, but I tried it because I got some small blemishes on my chin, probably due to wearing a mask. I soaked a cotton pad, left it on for about a minute before bed, and woke up to find the blemishes had disappeared like magic. I was pleasantly surprised by how hydrating it was too.
ConsThe hydration doesn't last very long, so it's hard to expect it to provide deep moisturization. As someone mentioned, the scent is exactly like traditional herbal medicine. It's a bit off-putting, but it doesn't linger for long.
TipRather than using it as a mist or toner replacement, I think it works better when applied to problem areas using a cotton pad.

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.ProsRecently, I've been paying more attention to cosmetic ingredients, and this one impressed me. It has an ultra-light, water-like texture with just three main ingredients: Houttuynia Cordata extract, Butylene Glycol, and Hexanediol. The ingredient list is super gentle! I apply it generously right after cleansing. It absorbs quickly without any stickiness whatsoever. I also love the simple product design!
ConsAfter it's fully absorbed, my face feels a bit tight. Considering it as a toner, the hydration is average, so you'll definitely need to layer other moisturizing products on top for proper skin hydration. Plus, the scent might be hit or miss for some. There's a slight herbal aroma, but it dissipates quickly and isn't persistently bothersome.
