ConsWhile the seaweed-like sticky texture made the moisturizing effect last longer, the application feel might be a bit divisive.
TipLayering it by scooping it with my hands felt more moisturizing than wiping it off with a cotton pad. Even after applying it multiple times, it absorbed quickly.

The initial feel was a bit sticky, like seaweed extract. But once applied to the face, it gets absorbed quickly and leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. I didn't feel any stickiness or heaviness on my skin at all. After using this and my other skincare, I noticed a healthy glow on my forehead the next day. Just adding this one product made a difference. Even though I'm prone to small bumps, I didn't experience any of that after using it for a few days. It works great as a winter moisturizer, so I'll definitely repurchase once I finish this bottle.
ConsAt first, I found the lid a bit inconvenient. But I think it's understandable given the slightly sticky texture. Now that I'm used to it, it's not a problem anymore.

In the winter, I can't go out without a moisturizer and oil... My base makeup falls apart, and the makeup doesn't absorb at all... My nose, lips, and cheeks are just covered in flaky skin, and no matter what good foundation I use, it has no effect. It's just a constant waste of money. The ingredients - a toner made from sea mustard grown in the waters of Wando?! It was unfamiliar, but I felt it was healthy and safe. Since I'm pregnant these days, my skin hasn't been the same due to the constant fever. Application - It applies very smoothly and softly. The formula is a bit sticky, but after a few minutes, the stickiness disappears and it becomes nicely moisturized. Absorption - The absorption is really great!! When I apply it with a cotton pad, it gets absorbed quickly and accurately. The absorption feels different from when I apply it with my hands. Moisturizing - I have a severe tight feeling, but after using this, my face felt so much more comfortable. (Personally, I've tried a lot of toners that are really good, and this one seems to have a great cost-effectiveness / This is definitely not an advertisement!!)
ConsThe slightly sticky, runny formula might be a hit or miss for some. When I first used it, I was very surprised by this new type of texture that I had never experienced before. It doesn't come out neatly, just a bit more than usual because of the stickiness. So I'm using it up faster than expected.
TipAfter cleansing in the evening, I wipe it off lightly with a cotton pad, and then use it one more time, making the cotton pad damp. When I do this, the next day my skin is definitely more moisturized, without any flakiness, and my makeup applies better!! Normally, I use a moisture pack 3 times a week, but with this method of using it twice, the need for the pack has naturally decreased.

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* My skin type: It used to be combination, but as I've gotten older, my T-zone around my chin gets a little oily only in the summer, while the rest of my skin suffers from severe dryness due to air conditioning and mineral sunscreen use all year round. I occasionally get blemishes around my chin. * Spreadability: Since it's an algae toner, I can feel a unique stickiness even in the toner, but after a few wipes, while it's not instant, the stickiness dissipates relatively quickly and it absorbs fairly fast. * Moisturizing: Compared to a watery essence, the algae's stickiness is a bit of a hassle when I have to 'break' it off my hand, like when I'm scooping out honey. But that stickiness seems to boost the moisturizing power a bit. It's not overly dewy, but it's a nice, comfortable level of moisture. I do have some tightness, so I do a 3-layer toner to fully hydrate. The moisturizing power of toners has its limits, and this level of moisture is just right so as not to interfere with applying the next moisturizing product. I first do the hydration layer, then apply an oil-based product to seal in the moisture. This helps balance the oil and water levels, addressing both the inner tightness and outer dryness. If I just apply a rich, oily product without first fully hydrating, I'll end up with an oily surface but still have inner tightness.
Cons* The sheet mask was so sticky that I used up the whole pack in just 2 weeks, which was quite surprising. But I guess that's just how it is.
TipI have both inner and outer dryness all year round, so I do a 3-layer toner application to fully hydrate the inner layers, then I generously apply a moisturizing cream over the toner to counteract the drying effects of the mineral sunscreen. If my skin is feeling extra dry, I'll add an essence between the toner and cream layers. With this routine, the algae toner really seems to work well for me, as it provides great hydration. For those with a lot of inner tightness, I'd recommend trying the 3-layer toner application. The 7-skin method is honestly just wasting product and can actually trigger more blemishes. 3 layers seems to be the sweet spot for adequate inner hydration.

As someone with a very dry and tight skin type, I tend to use moisturizing toners with an essence-like texture. The Toc Skin seems to be perfect for my dry, tight skin. The texture is slightly sticky, but it absorbs well without leaving any dryness behind. The moisturizing power seems quite good. The fragrance is close to unscented, which is suitable for me. The ingredients also seem good, so I will definitely repurchase this.^^
ConsDue to the slightly sticky texture, it can feel a bit slippery when applied with a cotton pad, and the absorption is not immediate, causing it to drip down.
TipUsing this as a pack by soaking a cotton pad with it could be a good idea.^^

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.ProsThis is an honest review after using the product daily for about a week. - It's incredibly moisturizing I felt that the product was extremely moisturizing, and even when I used a smaller amount of lotion to finish my routine, I didn't feel any dryness. - It was very effective in soothing my skin Despite having very sensitive skin, on days when I felt my face was irritated, I used this as a face pack and felt the soothing effect was much faster compared to my regular face packs. The soothing effect was so good that I would use it as a face pack even on days when my skin felt good, and the next morning I would wake up with a really smooth and clean-looking complexion. - I personally liked the scent While some reviews mentioned the scent being disappointing, I personally didn't find it unpleasant and rather enjoyed the clean fragrance.
Cons- It leaves a slight stickiness after use While it is moisturizing, there is a slight stickiness left after use. However, this goes away after applying a small amount of lotion or cream. - The quantity is a bit small Since I was using it as a face pack, the quantity got used up quite quickly. I wish there was a larger size version available! Apart from these, there weren't any other significant downsides. I was satisfied using the product.
TipThe face pack was really effective. I would soak a cotton pad with it, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, gently pat it in, and then just lightly apply some lotion before going to bed. My skin would feel so moisturized after that.

There are pros and cons to the texture and spreadability. Certainly, this type of skin has good moisture content. I tried using it as a pack by soaking a sheet mask in it, and when I added a little oil, it became nicely moisturizing and pleasant to use.
ConsThe fragrance is a bit disappointing. It would be better if it were fragrance-free, but since it's made with kelp, it has a distinctive seaweed aroma. It has a sticky, viscous quality, like alginate. It can even stretch out like a thread. Even when applied to a cotton pad, it still feels a bit slippery. It might be better to use this as an essence rather than a skin.
TipYou can mix this kelp toner with an essence or face oil and use it as a pack on a sheet mask.

The toner was surprisingly small, which surprised me at first, but after using it, I really liked the ingredients and formulation! Since it has a viscous, mucus-like texture, I wouldn't recommend it to those who prefer watery toners! However, the viscosity makes it more moisturizing and longer-lasting on the face (?) But it doesn't mean it doesn't absorb into the skin! I have quite dehydrated skin, but after applying it, the tightness went away! It seems like a good product to use as the first step in a skincare routine. I was worried about the scent since it's called a 'seaweed toner', but the subtle green scent is pleasant and I'm satisfied using it☺️ As I mentioned before, I have flushed skin! So I've been soaking a thin cotton pad with the seaweed toner and applying it to my cheeks, and it seems to have a calming effect! It's not an immediate and definitive calming effect, but the redness seems to subside a bit, and my skin feels plump and bouncy👍
ConsSince the formulation is viscous, it tends to get stuck around the toner bottle's opening, making it a bit sticky there ㅜㅠ Other than that, I'm overall satisfied with the product💕

It's completely my style.. When I apply it, the moisture level is higher, so my face feels more comfortable than when I just use a cream! I now understand why toners are necessary 😢 I also feel like my face is becoming more supple and firm haha The scent is not too strong, and it's just a natural, fresh fragrance that I really liked.
ConsThere is a sticky, mucus-like texture, and it foams when I rub it on my hands! So it feels more clammy than refreshing. It seems to be a characteristic of hyaluronic acid..!
TipDon't use too much toner! If you use too much, it becomes too slippery and uncomfortable!! While this is true for all products, it seems especially so for this one haha But thanks to this slippery feeling, when I use the right amount, my face feels comfortably moisturized.

There's a slight lemon or herbal scent? The typical ceramide product scent is present but not overpowering. 👍The ingredients are gentle, so I feel reassured. 👍As a base: When I layer this as a base and then apply other products like ampoules and creams, my makeup applies really well. It's great to use as a base.
Cons👎Volume - The volume is too mini, it's quite surprising. 👎Stickiness - It flows like water on the skin, but when it comes out of the container, it's sticky like a paste. There's also a slightly stringy feeling when I spread it. 👎Spreadability - It feels like rubbing seaweed, not a refreshing sensation!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
TipUsing it chilled seems to make it even more moisturizing
