Hwahae Testers' review of PureMay Soft Serum Toner with Chrysanthemum Day 1 - Spray action: Mists like a fine fog with even, thin particles. It's not a long continuous spray, but more of quick bursts. You need to move it around to cover your whole face. - Fragrance: Not knowing what chrysanthemum smells like, I wondered if this was it. It's not artificial or strong, but also not your typical sweet or floral scent. It's not off-putting. - First impression: Instant hydration feeling after spraying. After a few seconds, it feels like you've applied a serum with a slight oily touch - moisturizing with a hint of richness, but without visible oiliness on the face. Day 2 - Spray & cooling effect: There's a slight cooling sensation when spraying. I wish it would cover more area in one go, but the mist doesn't spread that wide. Day 3 - Spray: Pressing harder gives wider coverage, but it's quite stiff and requires a lot of finger strength. - Sebum control: After spraying, my skin looks more supple with a subtle glow. It seems to control oil well for my oily skin. Day 7 + Overall - It's super convenient to spray right after cleansing. It helps with deep dryness and I find myself reaching for it often, which shows my skin likes it. The spray nozzle is a bit stiff and occasionally seems to clog (fixed by pressing hard a few times). If they improve the spray, I'd be very likely to repurchase. Plus, it's so pretty it makes me happy every time I use it!

As mentioned, while the product itself is satisfying overall, the spray bottle is quite stiff, requiring a lot of force, and occasionally clogs.

According to the instructions, just spraying makes it a toner, while shaking before use turns it into a serum as the contents mix. After cleansing, I spray once all over, then shake and spray again for extra hydration and a refreshing feel. It's also great for a cooling effect when your skin feels stuffy or heated during the day.
