I was worried it might be too oily, but contrary to my concerns, it wasn't. It felt moisturizing instead. The mist spray is fine like a fog, which I really liked. The scent wasn't bad either. Despite having extremely sensitive and reactive skin, I was pleased that it didn't cause any redness, itching, or blemishes after use. It's great that it has anti-wrinkle properties, though I haven't noticed any dramatic effects yet.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing. I'm really impressed with the spray power.

The mist spray is effective, dispersing in a fine, wide pattern which is great. As someone with sensitive skin when it comes to cosmetic ingredients, I find this product agrees with me well, suggesting it's quite gentle.
ConsI wish the volume was a bit larger, and I think they could have done without the fragrance.
TipIt seems like it would work well as a mask if applied with a cotton pad.

Excellent spray distribution Each spray covers the entire face evenly without concentrating in one area. Compared to other mists, the spray performance is quite good. 2. Reduces redness, cooling effect Definitely felt a cooling sensation upon application, helping to reduce heat. Redness also noticeably decreased after use. 3. Soothing As mentioned, I had more blemishes than usual. However, after a week of use, my skin has calmed down significantly compared to before. While the effects weren't immediate, I gradually saw improvements with consistent use. 4. Balances oil and moisture It doesn't just provide hydration - it also contains oils, making it great for balancing both moisture and oil levels in the skin.
ConsCons: 1. Fragrance There's only one potentially irritating ingredient, which is the fragrance. I'm not sure why it was included... Without it, the ingredient list would be nearly perfect. 2. Price While the product is good, the price is a bit disappointing. 30,000 won for 100ml feels a bit steep.
TipI usually spray 3-5 times, but for oily skin types, 2-3 sprays might be more suitable. Since it contains oil, applying too much can make the skin feel a bit greasy.

Although it's healed, my skin is sensitive and oily, but with some dry patches due to the changing seasons.) First off, true to its name as a toner mist, it's super convenient! You can just gently pat your face dry after cleansing and spray it on. For those of us who are a bit lazy, you know how annoying it can be to use cotton pads... Since my skin is sensitive, I've been avoiding exfoliating toners, so being able to just spritz this on is fantastic. The spray power is truly... like a fine mist! My previous skin mist would dispense too much product, so I always had to pat it in with my hands after spraying. But with this one, it dispenses just the right amount, allowing you to target specific areas with multiple sprays. The spray power is absolutely top-notch! I even tried it over makeup when my skin felt dry, and there was no pilling. It definitely seems to work well for calming the skin. Even though I have sensitive skin, I could spray it liberally without any stinging or irritation. However, my sister, who has dry skin, mentioned that it didn't feel quite as moisturizing for her. As someone with oily skin who doesn't like a heavy feeling in the early skincare steps, I found it just right. The packaging is also pretty, and the cap is secure, so you don't have to worry about it coming loose if you carry it around.
ConsThe bottle is glass, so it's a bit heavy. I wanted to carry it around because of its great spray power, but it was a little too heavy!
TipIt's great to spray twice on your makeup sponge when doing your makeup! Or you can lightly mist your face and then apply cushion foundation or liquid foundation - it makes your skin look beautiful. Highly recommended!

My skin is oily but lacks hydration. Recently, due to wearing masks because of COVID-19 and severe air pollution, my skin has been prone to blemishes and extremely dry. The Upskin Bamboo Toner Mist contains both an oil layer and a mist. You need to shake it well before spraying it on your face. I was surprised the moment I sprayed it - it dispersed evenly in a fine mist, feeling as if I hadn't applied anything despite the oil content. It was so lightweight! What I loved most was how well it moisturized both the surface and deep layers of my skin. It contains many beneficial ingredients, so even though I have super sensitive skin, I was able to use it gently without issues.
ConsThere aren't really any downsides that I can think of. If I absolutely had to point out something, it might be that since it contains oil, those with extremely oily skin might want to give it some thought before using.
TipI found that if I saturate a cotton pad with the mist and place it on dry areas before applying makeup, I can maintain hydration all day long!

Even when I prepare everything the night before, I'm still rushing in the morning - barely having time to wash up before heading out. To be honest, I often can't even apply emulsion. But with autumn here, I realized that won't cut it anymore. Spraying this mist before leaving in the morning keeps my skin hydrated, as if there's a thin protective layer, all the way until I reach the office. What I love is that it's not just packed with hydration - being an oil mist, it has just enough richness to prevent moisture loss. It's quite different from your typical water-based mists. The balance feels like 80% hydration and 20% oil, making it suitable for all skin types. It's great at cooling down the skin and has a soothing effect.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, except maybe the small quantity. Also, they probably could have done without the artificial fragrance.
TipI've found that spraying this before applying a sheet mask helps prevent the mask's moisture from evaporating, allowing for better absorption. After using it for about 5 days, I'm definitely considering repurchasing.

But I have absolutely no regrets! The mist spray is fantastic, creating an even, clump-free application that I absolutely love. Despite containing oil, it doesn't feel heavy at all - in fact, it's even more hydrating! I think this might be perfect for those with combination dehydrated skin. The scent is also delightful! In the photo, you might notice some clumping, but that's because I deliberately sprayed it up close to show you the details. I started using it diligently as soon as I received it on the 22nd, and you can see how much I've used already!
ConsI tried hard to find something to criticize, but honestly, apart from the price, there's not much to complain about.
TipWhile it's fine to spray it right after cleansing, since it contains oil, I preferred to use it after my toner but before my essence. I also sprayed it again after my essence. Using it twice like this worked even better for me!

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.Pros* This is a review from The Hwahae Testers. * 1. Spray Performance I was amazed by how evenly this sprays compared to any other spray bottle I've used. Other products tend to spit out like someone's spitting on your face, leaving droplets clumped here and there. But this one disperses a fine mist evenly in all directions, with no clumping at all. It's almost like a fog spray with gas. 2. Oil and Moisture Balance This is a mist where the oil layer separates, so you need to shake it before use. It doesn't feel too watery when applied, nor does it leave you with that oily sheen like some oil mists do. It's a product with a nice oil and moisture balance that you can use lightly. 3. Absorption Despite containing oil, it absorbs incredibly fast. I usually pat it in with my hands rather than letting it sit, which might contribute to the quick absorption, but the product itself seems very lightweight, which helps it absorb well. 4. Hydration As someone with oily skin, I rarely need a mist for tightness during daily life. However, in this dry and chilly weather, lightly spraying it once on each cheek left my skin feeling pleasantly moisturized. 5. Packaging Material and Design It has a matte, cylindrical design. While it looks a bit like acetone, the straight cylindrical shape without any curves means there's nowhere for dust to collect except the cap, and it doesn't show fingerprints easily. The spray nozzle also presses down smoothly without any stiffness.
Cons1. Ingredients (Fragrance Addition) Although I have sensitive skin, I've never been particularly reactive to fragrances. However, within a week of starting to use this product, I developed four pustular blemishes. I'm the type who only gets one or two pimples during PMS due to hormonal imbalance, so this sudden acne outbreak was quite shocking. I'm not sure if it was an adjustment period, but it's fine now and I'm still using it. However, I'm really disappointed that they felt the need to add fragrance to the formula. 2. Scent One of the reasons I'm disappointed with the fragrance addition is the smell itself. Even with added fragrance, the scent is quite unpleasant. It's like an old-fashioned cosmetic smell? Not irritating, but outdated and cheap-smelling. If it smells bad without fragrance and still bad with it, was there really a need to add it? 3. Skin Soothing As someone with redness-prone skin, I didn't notice much soothing effect. It didn't seem to reduce heat or redness at all. 4. Price At $30 for 100mL, it's a bit pricey. Considering it's a water-based formula in a spray type, some product will evaporate during application. It seems like you'd use it up quickly, so I think the price point might be set too high.
Tip- After spraying it evenly and absorbing it together with tea tree essence, it feels more moisturizing and soothing.

First off, true to its mist nature, it sprays a generous amount with a light application, which I loved. Plus, it's EGW Green Grade, meaning it's super gentle, so I could use it without hesitation. For reference, I have extremely sensitive, blemish-prone skin. It contains bamboo extract, which is said to help with soothing effects, though it's not visibly noticeable.
ConsThe spray is so light that I ended up using more than expected, and when patting it in, it felt heavier than anticipated. While the mist itself is incredibly light, it felt relatively heavy during application. But aside from that, everything else was great.
TipIt's meant to be shaken before use, but if you want to feel more of the soothing effect, you could try using it as is to apply a bit more of the bamboo extract. The ingredients are so gentle that there's no need to worry about irritation.

Compared to regular mists, you can definitely feel more oil and hyaluronic acid, providing a noticeable boost in hydration. It's versatile too - you can use it on a cotton pad as an exfoliating toner, or spritz it all over including your neck. It absorbs well, leaving no tightness, just a lovely moisturized feeling.
ConsThe fragrance is quite disappointing. It's that common green tea scent often used in budget skincare lines. I wish it were fragrance-free or had a cleaner scent. Personally, I found it off-putting every time I used it. While the fine mist spray is nice, probably due to the oil/hydrating/nourishing ingredients, I had to close my eyes tightly or cover them with my fingers when spraying because it stung my eyes every time. I think it would have been better if it came in a toner bottle instead of a mist format. Usually, I like to test new products on just half of my face, but since this is a mist, I sprayed it frequently on the back of one hand daily. However, I didn't notice any significant changes either visually or in how my skin felt, so I didn't include before and after photos.
TipInstead of using it as a mist, I like to spray it into my hand like a toner and then pat it onto my neck, shoulders, and ears. It provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling too heavy or too light. It's also great to use all over your face and body after a bath to prevent any feeling of tightness.
