While I can't say for sure if it's improving my skin, it's so lightweight and versatile that I can use it anytime. I just can't seem to find a better toner!
ConsIt doesn't really help with blemishes or noticeably improve skin condition. However, it's non-irritating, which is perfect for my super sensitive skin.
TipHere's a tip: Soak a cotton pad generously with the toner and place it on your forehead. The next day, those tiny bumps seem to disappear! Of course, it's not a long-lasting solution, but it works in a pinch.

Rather than using it for my basic skincare routine, I prefer to use it as part of my makeup removal process. After using cleansing water, I soak a cotton pad with this toner and give my face one final wipe (I usually wait a bit before doing a second cleanse). Its lightweight, water-based formula makes it easy to use without any fuss. I occasionally use it in my regular skincare routine too, and I haven't noticed any negative effects or incompatibility issues. True to its name, it seems to act as a skin booster, helping the serums and creams that follow to absorb better. Being colorless and fragrance-free, it really does have that "no-frills" feel to it.
ConsCompared to toners with more viscosity or a more noticeable hydrating effect, this one is quite light. However, its price point doesn't really offer a significant advantage, so consumers might not see a compelling reason to choose this product specifically. I personally prefer lightweight toners, so I found it satisfactory to use. I might repurchase if there's a good discount in the future, but I can't help thinking that for most people, there might not be a strong need to opt for this particular product.
TipWhen considering this toner, it's worth noting its role in a layering skincare routine. While it may not stand out in terms of intense hydration or unique properties, it could be a good option for those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin who need a gentle, non-irritating boost of hydration. Its ability to prep the skin for subsequent products might be particularly beneficial for those focusing on achieving that coveted "Inner Glow" or addressing deep dryness. However, if you're looking for a toner that provides more noticeable benefits on its own, you might want to explore other options that offer additional skincare perks.

ConsIf there's one thing to nitpick, I'd say it's a bit disappointing that the scent isn't particularly amazing.

It leaves the skin feeling comfortable and was great for soothing my complexion.
ConsI don't have any complaints, though those with very dry skin might find it a bit too light for their needs.
TipUsing it as a toner pack works wonders for calming the skin.

You can visibly see your skin becoming calmer day by day. It has a lightweight texture, yet provides excellent hydration and leaves the skin feeling firm and supple.
ConsDue to its water-like lightweight texture, it tends to run, making it a bit challenging to apply.
TipFor dry skin, it's best to apply and let it absorb two to three times for optimal 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.Pros1. Fast absorption and lightweight feel The product texture is incredibly light and fresh, absorbing quickly into the skin without any stickiness. I really loved how my skin felt moisturized right after application, without any heaviness or tightness. It's especially great for morning use and doesn't cause pilling when applied before makeup. 2. Noticeable skin-soothing effect When used on sensitive skin, you can feel it calming irritated areas. It seems to settle the skin even when blemishes are forming, so I'd particularly recommend it for those with super sensitive skin. 3. Adequate hydration It's effective in providing hydration to skin lacking moisture. Especially when applied as the first step, it seems to help the following creams or serums absorb better into the skin.
Cons1. Somewhat lacking in long-lasting hydration While the skin feels moisturized immediately after application, there were times when dryness returned after a while. The hydration doesn't last very long, so those with dry skin will definitely need additional moisturizing products. 2. Insufficient oil supply Being a light and fresh product, it suits oily or combination dehydrated skin well, but might feel lacking in oils for extremely dry skin types. If you have this skin type, you may need to use it alongside oilier products like creams.
TipThe Abib Booster Skin is a perfect match for those seeking light hydration and quick absorption. It's particularly good at soothing the skin comfortably and fulfilling its role as a booster in the first skincare step, helping the absorption of subsequent products. However, as its moisturizing power isn't very strong, it's more suitable for combination or oily skin rather than extremely dry skin. I'd recommend this product to those with sensitive skin or those who prefer a fresh, hydrating feel!

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.ProsIt provides hydration, so when you apply it generously after cleansing, your skin doesn't feel dry for a while! The watery texture makes it easy to apply lightly. Even though I have sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes! (September 2024) ++ Updated review after 5 months (February 26, 2025) Wow, this is amazing.. It's the best for soothing skin?!??! I had been struggling with persistent blemishes that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried, but from the day I started using this, my blemishes have been consistently disappearing... It's truly incredible... I didn't even realize and was wasting it by adding it to modeling masks... This is definitely a must-repurchase item when I run out. Also, I've been letting it absorb well, and since I layer a lot and use a generous amount, I think it has quite good moisturizing power. Of course, you still need to apply the next step like serums or creams. Anyway, I'm overwhelmed with emotion because my blemishes keep disappearing while using this product!
ConsThe bottle opening made it a bit difficult to apply generously with my hands. Also, I didn't really feel a significant soothing effect, and I didn't notice that the next steps of my routine absorbed better or anything like that. In short, it feels like there's no compelling reason to use it..? ++ Updated review after 5 months The bottle opening is inconvenient. Why are all toner containers so impractical?
TipIt might be good to add to skin packs or modeling masks! ++ This is also updated One day I applied in this order: modeling mask (apply serum, aloe on milia areas) -> this Houttuynia Cordata toner -> serum -> cream, And another day I rested my skin with this routine: this toner -> serum -> cream I heard that using masks every day can actually make your skin worse! (Something I heard somewhere)
