It absorbs quickly, is not too thick, and does not have a strong odor, which is good.

Pros
* Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review * 19/Oily/Acne/Sensitive I received the package with joy from winning the event and started using it. The packaging is very high-end and the pump format is very convenient to use. My skin tends to get very oily after cleansing, so I've been using a misting toner and doing the 7-skin method. When I received the 28 Reminisce Balancing Toner for Men, I was very excited about its balancing function. After applying the toner, I was unsure whether to use a lotion or not, so I just tried the toner, and it felt very moisturizing and suitable for my skin 😀 The toner texture looks transparent and moist, like aloe. But when used on the skin, it seems to have multiple functions (whitening, wrinkle) combined, so I realized it's a highly functional toner.
Cons
The price was the biggest disappointment for me as a student. And as someone who had never used a men's toner before, the alcohol smell of the toner felt unfamiliar to me. And for some reason, in the first week of use, my skin became whiter and seemed to suit me well, but after a while, it started to get very oily, so I temporarily stopped using it. Blemishes also came up a bit, so I thought the toner, while suitable for acne-prone skin, might not work well for young people like me. I also briefly thought that the excessive nutrition might have been the reason, as my skin is acne-prone.

Pros
This is the Hwahae Trial Reviewer! When applied, the essence formula doesn't flow but forms water droplets (kind of like a runny nose?). When rubbed in, the texture turns watery. It's somewhat moisturizing, but the surface feels relatively matte. There's a slightly sticky feeling as it absorbs. I was a bit worried because of the many active ingredients, but it didn't cause any breakouts and seemed to suit my skin well. The case looks sleek and pretty. It has a thinner consistency than a toner, richer than an essence. Compared to: Seurus Toner << Nats Toner < Essence <<<<<< Cream Maybe because of the exfoliating ingredients? When I exfoliated after using this, there wasn't as much dead skin. For someone like me who has a lot of dead skin, this is great. The name 'toner' doesn't really fit, as the formula is thicker than a typical toner.
Cons
Right after application, there's a strong alcohol smell that I found quite unpleasant. Over time, it fades into a somewhat 'mom's cosmetics' scent. I don't particularly like the smell of men's bath products, but the 'mom's cosmetics' scent isn't great either. It's not exactly heavy like a toner, but there is a certain weight to it. This part wasn't bad for me, but I think people will have mixed opinions. For those with sensitive skin, the exfoliating ingredients are something to be cautious about. The ingredients are a bit... It seems they added these for the usage experience, but there are too many surfactants. If someone is at the point of using Hwahae, they're likely selecting products based on the ingredients, so having the surfactants so prominent upfront is not ideal. I hope they can remove or replace these in a future reformulation.
Tip
My morning routine is: Seurus Toner for toning, then I apply this 3 layers. Then I use the Etude Cicapair Balm and top it off with sunscreen and foundation. I used to have a lot of small bumps on my skin, but doing this routine in the morning has really helped improve it. In the evening, I do an oil cleanse with Misemsu, then apply this 3-4 layers and use a bit more of the Cicapair Balm compared to the morning. When I did the 7-skin method with the Seurus Toner, I felt a bit dry, but doing 3 layers of this feels more moisturizing.

Pros
The serum has a runny, watery texture, so after applying the toner, it feels moisturizing but not too heavy. It also absorbs well, so there's no dry, tight feeling after using it. Although it's said to reduce sebum production, I'm not sure if that's due to the colder weather, but I didn't experience any oiliness or excessive sebum after applying it. Since I don't have sensitive skin, I didn't find it irritating or overly strong.
Cons
When I first applied it, there was an alcohol-like smell... ugh. But since I'm not very sensitive to scents, it was fine after the second or third application. Right after applying, it feels moisturizing on the surface and inside, but after a little while, the surface feels dry while the inside remains hydrated, so I had to apply a moisturizer as well. I know it's supposed to help control acne, but I didn't really notice that effect.

Pros
This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. To begin, I have combination skin with oiliness, acne, and sensitivity. After using the product for about a week, I experienced the following advantages: 1. The pump-type packaging and gel-type toner formula make it easy to use. - The pump-type packaging makes it easy to control the amount of product used. There is no separate lid, so the motion required to apply the product to the face is minimized. The gel-type formula allows the product to be evenly applied to the face without dripping, even without using a cotton pad. The smooth application and small amount needed to cover the entire face were also beneficial. Additionally, despite the pump-type packaging, there was no issue with the toner residue or hardening at the dispenser opening. 2. There was no skin irritation, stickiness, or excess oil production after using the product. - As mentioned earlier, I have combination skin with oiliness, acne, and sensitivity. Products that do not suit me or have poor ingredients usually cause immediate skin issues, but this product did not have that problem. Despite being a gel-type toner, there was almost no stickiness after use. Additionally, the amount of oil produced on my face decreased after using the product. This seems to be due to the product's focus on soothing the skin, controlling sebum, and caring for blemishes.
Cons
Although I received this product as part of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, there were some disappointing aspects as well. 1. I did not find the product's fragrance to be pleasant. - When I first used the product, a strong scent, almost like alcohol, suddenly arose. I double-checked to see if I was mistaken, and the fragrance was similar to what one might find in women's cosmetics (e.g., the first floor of a department store). Since this is not a typical scent for men's cosmetics, some people may find it off-putting. I was also initially bothered by the fragrance every time I used it, but I eventually got used to it. If you are sensitive to fragrances, I would recommend testing the in-store tester before purchasing. 2. The price is quite expensive. - After using the product and liking it, I wanted to purchase the lotion from the same line. However, when I saw the price, I changed my mind. The discounted price of this product was on par with the base cost of the most expensive men's cosmetics at drugstore brands. (Not only this product, but the Natze brand's products are generally priced higher than drugstore brands.) While I feel the performance is better than the drugstore products I've used, most men, including myself, do not tend to invest heavily in cosmetics. Even if we do invest, the difference in performance may not seem significant enough compared to the price and volume difference between this product and the premium lines at drugstore brands, making the purchase hesitant.
Tip
The Natze website is currently offering a large-size set (toner + moisturizer) of the 28 Remedy Balancing line at a 44% discount to celebrate the launch of the large-size products. If you are interested in purchasing this product, I would recommend checking the Natze website, as it seems to be a more economical choice at the moment.

Pros
This is the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. The formula is like an essence or serum, so after cleansing, it provides good moisture. Looking at the ingredients, there are many that are good for soothing, and it does seem to have a calming effect. It seems to help balance the oil and moisture, and one day I woke up and my skin felt much smoother after using this - it's the only thing I changed. I want to keep using this.
Cons
There's nothing particularly disappointing. There is a bit of an alcohol-like scent, but I like skin care fragrances, so it was fine for me.
