Instead of a toner, I use this before makeup... It's lightweight and not heavy, making it a versatile product that I frequently use (I'm on my third bottle!). The texture is more substantial than a toner, and I found both the application and absorption to be excellent. It's dispensed through a pump, and interestingly, the plate pushes the product upwards as it comes out. I appreciated being able to use every last drop. For my combination-dry skin, it wasn't irritating at all and proved to be a great product. The texture is lighter than a cream but heavier than a toner, which might be divisive for some users. This product seems to strike a balance between a toner and a cream, offering good hydration without feeling heavy. Its pump design ensures efficient use of the product, which is a plus for those who value getting the most out of their skincare investments. The fact that it's suitable for sensitive combination-dry skin types suggests it has a gentle formulation. However, the unique texture might not appeal to everyone, especially those who prefer very lightweight or very rich products. - ye********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedAug 28, 2024
1. High-quality ingredients 2. Non-sticky with excellent hydration 3. Thoughtfully designed packaging that allows you to use every last drop 1. Quite pricey 2. Felt a bit heavy for use during the peak of summer - le*****Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsRecommendedMay 9, 2023
This product applies without any stickiness, making it suitable for use even before morning makeup. It doesn't have a particular scent, so it's likely to be universally appealing. The hydrating formula ensures it absorbs well into the skin. While it claims to improve wrinkles, I'm not sure about its effectiveness in that regard. - ch*********Normal SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJan 11, 2021
1. Perfect hydration balance: It's amazing how this product works well in both summer and winter. It didn't cause any blemishes in the hot months, and it kept my skin moisturized during the cold season. That's a win-win! 2. Innovative packaging: The container design is quite unique - as you use the product, the inner container rises up. It's my first time seeing this type of packaging, and I find it quite ingenious. Unlike the typical pump bottles where it's hard to get the last bit out, this design allows you to use every last drop of the product. That's a huge plus in my book! 1. Price: It's quite pricey... If only it were more affordable, I'd love to keep using it. The cost is really steep and hard to justify. 1. Scent: The fragrance is very subtle, reminiscent of a mild xylitol gum scent. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedDec 14, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

When applied to dry skin, it absorbs well with a nice firmness, creating an ideal base for the next step of a more concentrated essence. Unlike serums that are too oily or have a runny texture that can make absorption of subsequent products difficult, this one absorbs nicely into the skin. Perhaps due to the Rejuran ingredient, after two months of use, I've noticed my pores seem tighter and my skin feels firmer. I plan to use at least one more bottle. None. I'm satisfied. The packaging is sturdy, and I can use every last drop, which is great. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedSep 24, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The pump bottle is convenient to use, likely due to the formula. If you don't pat it in, absorption is slow. The product ends up half on your palms and half on your face. For the eye area, gently tap with your fingertips. - wo********Normal SkinSep 22, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

When applying, it absorbed quickly after patting a few times, with a lightweight texture that didn't feel heavy. The easy-to-use packaging made controlling the amount simple. After application, I didn't experience any blemishes or allergic reactions, making it seem like a really versatile product that anyone could use comfortably. Of course, it's hard to expect dramatic effects from a toner alone, but honestly, even with consistent use, I couldn't feel a difference compared to the average-priced product I used before. My skin has been dry lately due to the cool weather, and I didn't feel like this improved that condition either. I heard it's important to ensure good absorption. Please make sure to absorb it well until there's no feeling of it running on the skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 21, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Ingredients Since discovering Hwahae, I've been exclusively using skincare products with excellent ingredients. While I can't always control makeup products, I insist on this for my skincare routine! I love that it has no harmful or allergenic ingredients, and even offers anti-aging benefits. 2. Scent The fragrance is subtle and gentle. It's so light that it practically disappears the moment you apply it! Personally, I prefer this to artificially prolonged scents. 3. Hydration Despite being a softener, it provides adequate hydration. Even in September weather, using just this Vital Softener alone prevented any deep dryness. The hydration isn't sticky, but rather absorbs completely, leaving the skin's surface feeling fresh while deeply moisturizing. The texture is as shown in the photo. After using it, I can't think of any downsides! Due to its anti-aging properties, I didn't use it as an exfoliating toner. Instead, I applied it to my hands and gently pressed it into my skin for better absorption! - Hwahae UserNormal SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 21, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

According to the description, it's a functional product that turns back time for your skin. I expected a sticky, oily feel, but despite its runny texture, it absorbed quickly without any stickiness. I tend to shy away from functional products because I dislike that tacky feeling, but I'm so satisfied with this one that I'd consider repurchasing after I finish the sample. What I love most is that although it's a toner, it comes in a convenient pump bottle. I highly recommend this to those who aren't fans of sticky products. While there's absolutely nothing disappointing about the product itself, I feel the packaging could be improved. A change in the color or material of the container would give it a more luxurious image. The smooth texture makes it perfect for a quick facial massage after application. - al********Oily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 20, 2020Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Packaging - It's clean and hygienic, and really convenient to use. It's a pump-type, but unlike many that spray everywhere, this one dispenses smoothly for easy application. The case design is pretty, you can see how much is left, and the lid is sturdy. 2. Texture - It's pleasantly slippery and refreshing. It has a slightly runny consistency, feeling slick when touched casually, but feels fresh when applied to freshly washed skin! It doesn't absorb instantly, but it's not slow either. If you let it absorb completely without applying anything else, it leaves a light, powdery finish. However, I found that using 2-3 layers works well without needing a separate serum. In summer, you could probably get away with just this product for a quick skincare routine, while in winter, you could layer it multiple times for extra hydration! 3. Moisturizing effect - As mentioned, given its runny texture, it's naturally a moisturizing product. When you apply it to your skin and gently massage or pat it in, it feels light and hydrating like water droplets. It doesn't feel greasy, but rather creates a moisture barrier similar to aloe gel. 4. Blemishes - I didn't experience any blemishes after using it! My skin tends to be a bit sensitive and easily irritated, but this feels cool and soothing when applied. It should be suitable even for those with super sensitive skin. Hmm... there's really nothing bad, but if I had to say something, it might be that it doesn't absorb well into cotton pads? I think it's because the formula has a bit of viscosity! It might waste quite a bit if you try to use it as an exfoliating toner. It feels slightly cool just applying it normally, but it's really amazing if you keep it in the fridge!
