I bought it with my Lunar New Year money and I've just finished it now at the end of October. It easily lasts a year!
ConsIt's quite rich, so it doesn't help improve blemishes.

As someone with oily skin, I can layer it multiple times in summer without needing an emulsion.
ConsHowever, be cautious as the rich texture can potentially cause blemishes.

Cons- Due to high glycerin content, it has a dense texture with a slight oiliness at the end, requiring time to absorb - Might be challenging for those with oily skin to use except in mid-winter, and even those with dry skin may find it difficult for daily use as the weather gets warmer
TipThe large volume prompts me to decant it into smaller containers for use

The generous amount is a plus, and it's not entirely watery, so it seems to provide some hydration as well.
ConsDespite not having extremely oily skin, I felt it left a slightly rich residue.

I have combination skin with severe redness on my face. Personally, I prefer toners that have a fresh finish while providing deep hydration. Despite being called an 'essence toner', this product has a very watery texture that feels incredibly light when applied. As I continued to pat it in, I could feel my skin becoming hydrated from within, resulting in a plump and bouncy feeling. My previously rough skin seemed to become smoother, and the best part was that there was no deep dryness, yet the finish was remarkably fresh! I really dislike products that don't fully absorb and leave a greasy residue, no matter how moisturizing they are. However, this product absorbed completely into my skin without any lingering feeling, giving me that coveted Inner Glow. I highly recommend this to those with combination skin who prefer a fresh-feeling toner.
ConsI would recommend this more for those with normal to combination skin rather than oily or dry skin types. It might be a bit too rich for oily skin and possibly not hydrating enough for dry skin.
TipRather than vigorously patting it in with your hands, I found it worked well to apply a generous amount to the skin and let it naturally absorb.

I've used this product personally during the trial period and have written a thorough and honest assessment. Before diving into the review, let me describe my skin type. I have combination dehydrated skin that's incredibly sensitive and temperamental. I'm constantly dealing with small blemishes and occasionally experience inflammatory and pustular acne. Please note that this review reflects my personal preferences and thoughts, so I'd appreciate if you'd take it as a casual reference. Fragrance / Texture: The product is essentially fragrance-free, with almost no detectable scent. The texture is very fluid, similar to water. It has no viscosity and flows easily, making it a versatile and easy-to-use product. Application Experience: The absorption rate is neither too slow nor too fast - just right in my opinion. Unlike some toners that are so light they instantly disappear and leave the skin feeling dry, this one strikes a good balance. It's neither too light nor too heavy. However, it does leave a slight oily feeling. It's not exactly sticky, but it's not a refreshing toner either. It might feel a bit heavy if you try to layer it two or three times. Hydration / Moisturization: While it may not provide perfect hydration as the first step in your skincare routine, I find the level of hydration adequate. Rather than using it for pat-on or soak-on methods, I found it worked best as a 5-minute mask pack. As for moisturization, as mentioned earlier, it does leave a slightly oily feeling. While it provides some moisture, it might not be enough for those with dry skin. Ingredients: I have sensitive skin that reacts quickly to incompatible products, but I didn't experience any breakouts with this one. I noticed citric acid in the ingredient list, so I did a patch test on my neck first. Fortunately, I didn't have any adverse reactions. However, skincare products can work differently for everyone, so I strongly recommend doing a patch test before using it on your face.
ConsPackaging: The bottle's opening makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed, and the cap is inconvenient. The mouth of the bottle is quite wide. I think the product would be improved if the packaging was redesigned a bit. Oily Feel: This toner might be more suitable for winter or seasonal transitions rather than hot weather. As the weather gets warmer and skin becomes oilier, using this toner followed by even a light moisturizer left my skin feeling uncomfortably greasy. While the product isn't excessively oily, those with oily skin like mine might find it more suitable for winter or transitional seasons rather than summer.
TipI found that using it as a mask pack worked better for hydration than pat-on or soak-on methods. It's especially nice to use as a skin pack while drying your hair!

I have blemish-prone skin that's very sensitive to seasonal changes. The product has a watery texture that absorbs well and adheres nicely to the skin.
ConsAfter trying this product, I found it a bit too rich for my skin! Even a small amount of oil felt like too much for me. So I felt it was a bit heavy for daily use.

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.ProsThe refreshing, watery texture is a standout feature! My skin struggled with severe acne in my teens and early adulthood, but it's now under control after isotretinoin treatment. Currently, I have dry skin with an oily T-zone. I'm usually wary of exfoliating toners due to sensitivity, but this one absorbs well when applied with a cotton pad. The formula is close to a water-based toner but with a hint of oil - it feels adequately moisturizing! It's gentle yet provides hydration with a slight dewy finish. I'd recommend this if you're looking for a mild toner! As someone with extremely sensitive skin that reacts to almost anything, I didn't experience any breakouts. When exfoliating, it felt cool and hydrating, which I loved! The hyaluronic acid base makes it feel lightweight. It's like a basic hydrating toner - I was lucky to win it just as I was running out of toner, and I think I'll use it for a long time! It's reasonably priced and great for everyday use. I recommend it for those with sensitive skin, but keep in mind it's not a high-performance toner with dramatic effects.
ConsWhen I tried using this toner for a toner mask and then applying my skincare routine, I found it a bit too rich (though not excessively). I sensed that the slight oiliness, especially on my already oily T-zone, might clog my pores in this season. So I washed it off and reapplied my skincare. When I removed the toner mask, my skin felt a bit too dewy. If you have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend using this for toner masks or as a patting toner.
TipFor those with extremely sensitive skin, I recommend putting this in a mist bottle and spraying it on. Once your skin gets used to it and feels okay, try applying it before bed! It seems to help reduce heat in the skin, and the combination of hydration and oil appears to prevent moisture evaporation better than regular water-based hydrating toners when sprayed on the skin.

However, this product caused almost no irritation, making it comfortable to use! 2. ⭐️Balanced absorption / Hydration⭐️ When first applied, it looks slightly dewy, but it absorbs quickly after a short while! You can really feel the increase in hydration after it's absorbed! 3. ⭐️Skin temperature⭐️ After applying this product, I definitely felt like my skin temperature dropped. 4. ⭐️Scent⭐️ It's fair to say it's almost fragrance-free. I generally don't like scented products (except perfumes), so I appreciated that this product has almost no scent! 5. ⭐️Other product characteristics⭐️ Firstly, I'm very satisfied with the large volume (400ml). The toner has a consistency similar to water with almost no viscosity. Also, some cosmetics I use have powder that settles at the bottom, requiring shaking before use, but this one doesn't have that issue, which I'm happy about! Moreover, it's a vegan toner with no animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals, so I could use it without any concerns!
Cons1. Right after application, it looks slightly oily, which is a bit disappointing... However, as mentioned earlier, it absorbs quickly, so it's not a major drawback! 2. The product design (especially the cap) seems a bit odd... It's ready to use when you twist it, but the top part of the cap also looks like it opens (it actually does open, but it's blocked...!), which was disappointing.
TipWhen using this product, I applied it directly with my hands after cleansing, without 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.ProsSkin Type: My skin is combination dehydrated with small bumps. It's super sensitive skin, reacting badly to even slightly irritating or incompatible ingredients. Texture & Scent: It's called an essence toner, but it's thinner than an essence, almost water-like in consistency. It's fragrance-free. Quantity: At 400ml, it's generous enough for my daily mask routine of applying it 3 times. It would also be great for soaking cotton pads for a toner mask. Absorption: Unlike exfoliating toners, I pat this in with my hands. It absorbs well into the skin. Personal Opinion: Being sensitive-skinned, I'm usually cautious with new products, but this toner has such gentle ingredients. I love that it contains hyaluronic acid, which works well for me. I just learned it's a vegan toner. I appreciate that the package label is easily removable and that it's not tested on animals. It's great to see a product that considers both environmental and animal welfare.
ConsI haven't found any major drawbacks yet. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that after a while, possibly due to its good hydration, it leaves my skin feeling slightly rich. As I prefer a matte complexion, this is a tiny bit disappointing for me. However, if you have dry skin, this toner will definitely help combat deep dryness!
