I use it every other day, applying it with a mesh pad to wipe my face. It's great for daily dead skin cell care. Since I have dry skin without much flakiness, this alone is enough to make my skin feel smooth and soft! It's not too rich, but it does a good job of addressing deep dryness as a first step. I also like to apply it to my lips, let it sit for a bit, then wipe it off with a cotton pad - it helps gently remove some of the dead skin there too.
ConsThe burning sensation is likely due to the tea tree ingredient. Not all AHA/BHA/PHA products give this feeling, you know. I didn't check the ingredients carefully before buying, so when I first opened it and used it, the strong tea tree scent really surprised me! I'm not a big fan of tea tree, to be honest. As other reviewers mentioned, this burning sensation lasts quite a while. It doesn't feel like it's irritating my skin overall, but areas with blemishes definitely feel more intense. I'm hoping the tea tree will help calm my breakouts though... If you have sensitive skin around your eyes, you might want to avoid using it in that area.
TipThis product might be great for those who respond well to tea tree ingredients and for people with oily skin.

Its lightweight formula makes it perfect as an exfoliating toner too.
ConsThe small volume means you have to buy it multiple times. Please make a larger size available.

I originally had some texture on my skin, but it's as if the dead skin cells were removed, leaving my complexion more even and smooth. The hydration is better than expected. I didn't anticipate any moisturizing effect, but it actually provides decent hydration. However, if you have dry skin, you might want to use this in combination with other hydrating products.
ConsIt's quite irritating. Even though I don't have super sensitive skin, I felt a burning sensation and could definitely tell it was irritating. Because of this, I don't think I could use it daily. When it accidentally got on my lips, they felt a bit of a tingling sensation too.

I thought this product would be drying because it has a light, water-like texture, but surprisingly it was quite moisturizing. Since it contains AHA and BHA, I can't use it daily for fear of irritation. I've been using it intermittently, and it seems to help with managing dead skin cells.
ConsThe scent is quite strong, which might be polarizing for some users.

The moisture lasts for a long time without my skin becoming twice as dry again. I also appreciate its water-based formula, which absorbs well without feeling sticky.
ConsI noticed that tea tree oil is included in the ingredients. The scent is a bit strong, which was slightly bothersome for someone like me who is sensitive to fragrances.

My skin type is combination dehydrated. My T-zone tends to get oily while my chin area is dry. I used this as my daily exfoliator in the morning. I typically prefer lightweight toners with exfoliating properties for my morning routine. When using this product, I didn't experience any irritation, and it felt like it was purely adding hydration to my skin. There was no sensitivity, and I didn't develop any red spots, which can sometimes happen if I use the wrong product. Moreover, it acted as a great booster, prepping my skin for the rest of my skincare routine. This is definitely a product I'd consider repurchasing once I've finished it.
ConsAfter using this exfoliating toner, there's a slight warming sensation. Personally, I find this refreshing, but I understand some people might not enjoy this feeling.
TipI recommend using this as an exfoliating toner in your morning routine!

At first, I thought the lightweight, water-like texture would be drying, but after using an exfoliating toner and letting it absorb, the hydration lasted longer than expected. I didn't experience any blemishes, and while I need to use it a bit longer to be sure, I felt it improved my dead skin cells and dryness.
ConsThose with super sensitive skin might react to some of the ingredients. Personally, I didn't like the scent. It's probably due to the ingredients, but it's definitely a fragrance that could be divisive.
TipFor a cooling effect, you can soak a cotton pad and place it on dry areas or spots with dead skin cells. This provides a soothing sensation while refining your skin at the same time.

I didn't have particularly sensitive skin before, but lately it's become a bit more reactive, probably from constantly wearing masks. I also tend to get small blemishes before my period. Packaging ☆☆☆☆☆ I love that the container is lightweight and transparent, allowing you to see the contents. Hydration ☆☆☆☆☆ To be honest, I didn't expect much hydration from this product, but I was pleasantly surprised by how moisturizing it is. In summer, when it's hot and sticky, I'm usually reluctant to apply many products, but this one provides great hydration, which I really appreciate~ However, it might not be hydrating enough for those with dry skin in winter. Application ☆☆☆☆ There's a nice cooling effect when applying, which is perfect for summer. It also has a slightly refreshing sensation. I did experience some tingling and itching at first, but it subsided with continued use. Those with super sensitive skin might want to keep this in mind. Dead skin cells and pore improvement ☆☆☆☆ It definitely seems to remove dead skin cells effectively. My skin texture feels smoother - after applying and gently patting it in, my skin feels noticeably softer. As for pores, they naturally tend to enlarge in summer, and I haven't been paying much attention to them lately due to mask-wearing. While I can't say this dramatically shrunk my pores, I did notice some improvement in my blackheads after gently massaging the product for about 2 weeks. However, it might be a bit too harsh for daily use. Scent ☆☆☆☆ It has a slight herbal scent that might be divisive. I'm not sensitive to fragrances and this one fades quickly, so it doesn't bother me. But those who are sensitive to scents might want to consider this before purchasing.
ConsThe skin irritation is stronger than expected, making it difficult to use daily.
TipI found it works best when used as an exfoliating toner about two to three times a week. Since it's summer, I've been keeping the toner in the refrigerator before use.

I applied it using a cotton pad to wipe, then patted the remainder with my hands Application: When using this exfoliating toner, I felt a slight warming sensation and could feel my skin temperature cooling down Hydration: After one application of the exfoliating toner and patting it in, I was pleasantly surprised by how moisturizing it was. I'm used to hyaluronic acid toners, so I expected it to feel drying, but it provided ample hydration Scent: The fragrance is a bit strong and hard to describe Overall: I noticed my small blemishes gradually diminishing and my skin texture becoming smoother with each wash. It feels like a great match for my skin. However, due to my sensitive skin, I only used it in the evening to avoid potential irritation from twice-daily use
ConsThere aren't any major downsides, but those who are sensitive to fragrances or have very sensitive skin might experience irritation or increased blemishes
TipI found it works best when generously applied with a cotton pad, gently wiping along the skin's texture, then patting in the remainder with my hands. Finishing with a serum or moisturizer before bed gave great results!

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.ProsWhen I first tried to use it, I was worried about the small opening and not being able to squeeze the container to dispense the product onto a cotton pad. But surprisingly, it dispenses just the right amount without overflowing, which I found quite convenient. Despite its tea tree scent and watery texture, which I thought might evaporate quickly and leave my skin dry, it actually absorbs well when used after my exfoliating toner. It doesn't make my skin feel too dry and seems to be well-retained, leaving a nice balance of softness and hydration. As for dead skin cell removal, pore improvement, and oil control, I'll need to use it more before commenting. For now, I'm satisfied that it doesn't irritate my skin and leaves it feeling refreshed after use.
ConsThe inclusion of tea tree oil in the ingredients might be polarizing. As soon as you open it, there's a strong tea tree scent. If you're not a fan of intense fragrances, this could be a downside. Personally, I don't mind it as the tea tree scent gives me a sense of skin-soothing. When I first used it before going to the gym, I only applied the exfoliating toner followed by a mist. At first, it felt cool, but gradually it started to feel warm. I don't mind this sensation, but I'm mentioning it for those with sensitive skin who might find it irritating. The second time I used it, I applied a light cream after the exfoliating toner, and the warming sensation didn't occur.
TipI usually use 5-ply cotton pads for my exfoliating toner step, but I tried regular cotton pads with this product. Both have their pros and cons. Regular cotton pads absorb more toner but seem less irritating, possibly because they hold more product, and leave a more hydrated finish. 5-ply pads absorb less toner but feel less moist compared to regular pads. I used regular pads initially due to concerns about irritation from the tea tree, but I think 5-ply pads could be good for soothing treatments, while regular pads might be better when you want to boost hydration.
