I have very dry skin, but this really helps a lot. It's perfect for doing a facial mask. It's gentle, calms the skin well, and makes my skin feel so moisturized.
ConsIt's not meant to be used as a toner for removing makeup. If you use it that way, it would be such a waste.
TipJust using a regular cotton pad is fine too, and I'm currently using the cotton pads from COSRX for my facial masks.

This is exactly the type I was looking for. Even after cleansing, applying the seaweed toner, and finishing with a light cream, it helps control dehydration so my skin doesn't feel dry and is comfortable. Suitable for Sensitive Skin My skin is sensitive, so when I change my skincare, it often feels irritated and doesn't agree with me. But this product doesn't cause any of that, which is great. Moisturizing yet Refreshing Finish I thought the creamy texture would absorb slowly and feel sticky, but it actually absorbs quickly and leaves a refreshing finish. The hydration and glow also last quite a while. When applying my base makeup, it doesn't pill or cause flakiness, which I really liked! Skin Texture I'm not sure if it's the product's effect or the hydration it provides, but my skin texture has become smoother and more bouncy! I can clearly feel an improvement in my skin texture, which I'm very pleased about.
ConsThe packaging requires unscrewing the cap to dispense, so adjusting the amount can be a bit tricky. A pump would have been more convenient.
TipI find the best way is to gently pat 2-3 times right after cleansing!! You can dispense a small amount at a time and apply it all over your face, absorbing it in layers. I highly recommend this to those with sensitive, dehydrated, and oily skin who want to address dehydration. It controls oil without drying, and the hydration lasts quite a while! I received it as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and I think I'll buy it again once I finish this jar.

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.ProsAfter cleansing, the toners I had been using before would quickly lose moisture and feel very dry. But the Hait Toner has a viscous, runny texture, so when applied, it doesn't dry out as quickly and feels great! Nowadays, with all the mask-wearing, my skin has become more sensitive, but this toner is soothing, and even though there's no visible difference yet, my skin doesn't feel tight at all, so I'm using it with confidence. I'm considering making this my go-to toner from now on!
ConsThere's really nothing I'm dissatisfied with! I'm using it happily.
TipWhen doing my cleansing routine, I initially poured the toner, which has a watery texture, directly onto the cotton pad without thinking, and it gushed out, surprising me haha. Nowadays, I just lightly tilt the cotton pad to pick up a small amount. The fact that it doesn't get immediately absorbed into the cotton is something to note. So it's better to let it soak in a bit first before wiping your face. When wiping, it feels slippery, but after a few swipes, it spreads nicely. The slippery texture makes me feel like it's less irritating to the skin, which is a plus.

This product was great at relieving my severe internal dryness during the winter. 👉 Packaging & Color It comes in a transparent plastic container. The color is clear, which I liked since there are no added colorants. 👉 Effectiveness Personally, I think this toner is perfect for addressing internal dryness. It also has a fairly high viscosity compared to other toners, which gave me a nice moisturizing sensation that I don't usually get from other toners.
ConsPersonally, I felt the price was a bit high considering the volume. I think I'll try to purchase it when it's on sale.
TipThis toner has a viscous texture, so you can apply it directly without using a cotton pad, and it will absorb well to help relieve internal dryness.

Instead, I would dispense it onto my hands and pat it gently onto my skin, using it like an ampoule or serum. As my Nabi Zone cheeks are particularly dry, I found that this product plumped up and replenished the moisture in my skin. (However, in this cold winter, this alone was of course insufficient, and I had to apply a cream as well.) 'At least it doesn't bring any breakouts' I used this product on the acne-prone areas of my chin and cheeks, but didn't notice any significant changes. In other words, my acne neither worsened nor improved. Hmm.. Still, I was glad that the product at least didn't cause any new breakouts.
Cons'Slippery, runny texture, difficult to use as a cleansing toner': The formula was quite unsuitable for me, as I prefer using water-based toners for cleansing. The watery, viscous texture didn't absorb well into cotton pads, and even after wiping, there was a lingering slick feeling left on my face. (This is likely due to the formulation. Dry-skinned individuals may actually enjoy this texture.) Personally, I prefer the refreshing, thoroughly cleansed sensation when using a cleansing toner, so this product didn't quite meet my expectations.
TipI use other products for cleansing, and then just pat this one on afterwards!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst of all, the ingredients of the Bellamonster Toner were personally good, and the formulation itself is a so-called 'runny toner' with a viscous texture. I'm also sensitive to fragrances, but the natural scent that is not the typical cosmetic smell is not irritating, so I think it would be suitable even for those of you who are sensitive to fragrances like me! It felt more like a booster than a toner, and even when I just applied the toner, it was moisturizing without any tightness. I was worried that it wouldn't absorb and would just sit on the surface since the texture is not light, but I was satisfied that it got absorbed when I patted it in. The texture is not light, but it's not uncomfortable after application either - it feels like a really moisturizing layer has formed. I think it's perfect for this dry season! Even though my skin is dry, the tightness was significantly less compared to other toners when I just used the toner! Also, I used this toner along with the cream I was using before, and for some reason, the small blemishes that had appeared shrank the next day, which was surprising! This is highly personal, but I'm satisfied and plan to repurchase~
ConsIf there's one thing I'm a bit disappointed about, it's that when I first applied the product, there wasn't any surface tightness, but I couldn't say it was 100% effective all the way through. However, as I continued using it, the tightness effect was definitely no longer noticeable. The effects may not be immediate, and you'll need to use it consistently to see the benefits, so those who want instant results may need to be a bit patient. Also, it's a bit of a shame that the product doesn't dispense cleanly, perhaps due to the viscous texture or the packaging, and tends to drip down the sides of the container when using it.
TipWhen I soaked a thin cotton pad or mask compression pack in the toner and used it as a pack, it had a soothing effect and was great for hydration^^

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💕

The fragrance is close to fragrance-free. My skin is dry and severely dehydrated, so I used to do 5-skin with a toner before applying lotion. However, the Seaweed Toner is sufficient with just 3 skins, and it's even more moisturizing than when I did 5 skins. The finish is also good, making my skin feel soft and smooth. It absorbs well without leaving a sticky residue, so my makeup doesn't slip either. I was a toner nomad, but I'll settle down with the Seaweed Toner!
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing about it. The Seaweed Toner has become a holy grail item for me.
TipI recommend the 3-skin method! If you pat it in thoroughly, your skin will be moisturized all the way through, to the point where you may not even need to apply lotion.

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.ProsMy skin type is an extremely oily T-zone type. ✔Moisture Other toners made me feel slightly dry after absorbing them on my face and doing something else for a while, but this toner didn't have that dryness and felt like it was taking care of the inner dryness. ✔Presence of Blemishes If I apply something that doesn't quite suit me, something pops up right away, but this was not the case and it was fine. ✔Texture It has a sticky, runny texture. I was worried it would be sticky when applying, but after absorbing it, the texture was refreshing. It gives a plump, bouncy feeling to the skin.
Cons✔Fragrance At first, the fragrance was something I had never encountered before. Those sensitive to fragrances may want to avoid it. But then again, the fragrance disappears right after application, so it should be fine. It's a bit sticky, so that could also be a hit or miss for some.
TipThe formula is not overly oily, even for my extremely oily T-zone type, so I was satisfied and able to use it. I would repurchase it!!

When you add a little water, it becomes more fluid! 〰️Hydration This toner is incredibly hydrating! The dryness and dullness caused by dehydration disappears after using it. I used to slather on a lot of moisturizer, but with this toner, I only need a small amount of moisturizer. I also use the seaweed ampoule before applying the toner, and both absorb quickly! 〰️Soothing, Calming Effects My skin is very sensitive - even the slightest mismatch causes breakouts, and my skin gets oily if it's the least bit dehydrated. But despite my problematic skin, I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts while using this product, probably because it's free of harmful ingredients. After a facial waxing, my face was red and irritated, but after using this for about 5 days, my skin went back to normal. It seems to have great soothing and calming effects!
Cons〰️Packaging Since I didn't use a separate makeup remover, I scooped the product out with my fingers and applied it to my face. This left the opening of the bottle a bit messy. However, I think this type of packaging is better than pump bottles or containers that are difficult to recycle. Just gently wiping the opening with my finger is enough to apply the product nicely to my face.
Tip👍🏻Using this together with the seaweed ampoule helps the hydration last longer! I got suckered into buying the seaweed ampoule at Lotte and loved it so much that I ended up getting the seaweed toner as well.
